Of course, those questions don't allow for shades of grey, da? Some are completely bogus too: theFed shouldn't worry about only one or the other, sheesh.
I got about halfway through taking this 'survey' and then couldn't stomach it anymore.
ReplyDeleteAs you said-- there is no critical thinking going on here at all--- just a knee jerk "you must either be a hippy pot smoking crackhead or a fascist conservative who agrees that even formerly over the counter drugs like nyquil and tylenol should require extreme government oversight, you must either be cold hearted feminazi who wants to have as many abortions as possible or a fundamentalist neoconservative who believes that even condoms and masturbation should be outlawed, you are either a good southern baptist or a godless heathen, etc.....)
OK... maybe I'M being a little too hard on the 'test' but the darn thing started to piss me off around questions 9 and 10
Social Security:
Is simply a transfer payment that should be replaced by personal accounts
Can easily be fixed by making the rich and employers pay more
Taxes should be...
Cut to stimulate the economy and give people more of their money back.
Something the rich pay more of. They can afforded.
where my personal response to 9 was "neither exactly" and to 10 why not both?
Tests like these feel like they were written by Bill O'Reilly or some other scum from Faux News (the masters of obfuscation, oversimplification, and straw man arguments)--- i think the real thing this test measures is one's patience with ridiculous surveys like this :P
