    That's good irony!

    Oh, it was awful! It was supposedly a "compatibility" test, with statements like "I get nervous riding or driving in heavy traffic."

    Well, which is it, riding or driving? If I'm not driving, who is? I mean, if my brother is driving, I'm fine. If it's my friend Wendy, I'm bailing at the next stop sign. Do I know the area, or did I just breeze into town? How's the weather ... rain, ice, snow? Mid-afternoon, or closing time?

    150 questions like this! It really is a miracle I ever got married :o

    Certainly, but this applies to all people and is often unfairly charged against the rich. If a rich person should be giving things away that they don't want to don't need, so should a poor person.

    Sad, to me, is to pretend that a person's labor or property has no value and is, by default, owed to another. Think of your own job. How would you feel if someone came to you and said, "do this and do that" and took absolutely no account of what's in it for you??? That's slavery.

    If you were forced into it it would be, but yeah I catch your drift :)
    no matter where you go,
    there you are.

    If you want to tell people the truth, make them laugh, otherwise they'll kill you.

    Man is least himself when he talks in his own person. Give him a mask, and he will tell you the truth.

    How dare you put your name on that??? Not very collective of you. ;)

    I'm still an individual and I still have my name. (My name is longer, but I dont care to post it here. :)) Collectivism is not about erasing yourself, but about cooperation with others for the betterment of our society. So there ;)

    And abook, wow!

    This is a very amateurish, poorly worded quiz. There are some questions where my beliefs lie predominantly one way, but I had to answer the opposite due to questions that contained absolutes. Whoever made this up, needs to not skip class the day they discuss how to design surveys.
    The only people we should try to get even with...
    ...are those who've helped us.

    Right 'round the corner could be bigger than ourselves.

    There was questions that i would have been in between on but as they had only agree or disagree it was kinda impossible to remain on the fence - so to say.
    Anyhow i don't think i really belong down the scale near ghandi - i'm not really into the non violence thing as he was nor am i a racist as he is said to have been ..................

    Could happen ... He's not a pacifist, but he's says he not racist either. That's how I would describe myself, actually.

    "Not pacifist" doesn't mean warmonger, by the way. It means that you aren't opposed to the use of military force in some cases.
