Hahahaha, shocking that you score almost the same as I do, eh?

167, conservative. I think I kept canceling stuff out (pro-gay, pro-abortion, but also anti-big government, that kind of thing). These things never do well at handling libertarians.

I was really interested in seeing your score. I can see how Libertarians would not fare well.

Some of the questions could be taken different ways. For example, there was one that said something like "Changes to the definition of family have harmed families." I forget the exact wording.

Anyhow, I scored a fairly high "Agree" on that. But not because of same-sex marriage. More because of how heterosexuals have debased marriage through promiscuity, affairs, use of prostitutes, and all the hypocrisy that underlines the supposedly "Puritan" attitudes that many Americans profess.

Hell, I believe that much of the "sexual revolution" that started in the 60's was a reaction to the hypocrisy that many of the boomer parents displayed in their sexual behaviour.

But yeah, cool quiz. It'd be interesting to give it to a bunch of Canadians (with appropriate tweaking) and see where they plotted out.

I actually answered the same way you did on the society/family question - I think that society has changed and with it there has been a deterioration of the family unit and family values.

I don't know if it is a result of technology, or the sexual revolution, or both or something else. But I do know that it has been a detriment to society. But I don't know if I'd have it any other way. I know that doesn't make a whole lot of sense.

300. I screwed up one of the answers, though. I answered the opposite of what I intended. I wonder how much that skewed the results.
