Non-fiscal issues, centrist (47) - Fiscal issues, moderate conservative (65). Thought fiscal was low but, internet surveys have no nuance. -- nm - VMan Nov 12, 16:13
A while ago, I went to look at the *old* TT. I felt like Alice through the Looking Glass. - Trish Nov 12, 16:09 15
- Why do people go back there? -- nm - amoxy Nov 12, 16:16 14
  - We have to go back. So long as there's even one of us left behind, we have to go back. -- nm - Mop Nov 12, 16:27 7
    - "Go on without me! SAVE YOURSELF!!!" -- nm - con_carne Nov 12, 16:32
    - Plus, now we know just exactly what a troublemaker B was and how she ran off so many newbies. - Trish Nov 12, 16:31 2
      - ...,except you,.... - the liioulu with dry umbrella Nov 12, 16:33
      - When you work for "the man", you see things through the prism of your employer. -- nm - Mop Nov 12, 16:32
    - You want to go back for Fudge and RazorHawk? - Mr. Havens Nov 12, 16:30 2
      - No, they're not one of us. But someone get the bag. We're getting Mac, whether he wants to come or not. -- nm - Mop Nov 12, 16:31 1
        
        Oh, come on, RazorHawk's good for a laugh. - the liioulu with dry umbrella Nov 12, 16:34
  - Because we still play the game and can be a part of both communities -- nm - Mr. Havens Nov 12, 16:24
  - I dunno about anyone else, but in my case it ws boredom and curiousity. - Trish Nov 12, 16:18 4
    - is your name whiskers? -- nm - Beaker Nov 12, 16:25 1
      - Of course not. - Trish Nov 12, 16:28
    - Have you ever noticed how they establish a set of "spots" in a house, and then rotate through them - changing the top spot every week or so? -- nm - Beryllium Nov 12, 16:19 1
      - yes, that they do -- nm - crash davis Nov 12, 16:24
man, ive been a total fuck up at work lately. not good timing with reviews & bonus decisions coming up -- nm - Guy Nov 12, 16:02 4
- Lately?! -- nm - Guy's boss w/ pink slip Nov 12, 16:12 2
  - "At work"? -- nm - ST Nov 12, 16:15 1
    - Thought of it but, didn't go for the double shiv. -- nm - VMan Nov 12, 16:16
- Well, I'm sure they'll be far-sighted enough to see past any recent issues ... -- nm - Beryllium Nov 12, 16:07
On Non-Fiscal Issues, you rank as a Moderate Liberal (38). On Fiscal Issues, you rank as a Centrist (55). -- nm - Will Hunting Nov 12, 16:01 9
- now the dang username game you guys play is throwing me - is this Will's score or kelly's score? -- nm - crash davis Nov 12, 16:12 1
  - average it out and call it the "pot pie score" -- nm - Beryllium Nov 12, 16:13
- I ain't having any of you run my future businesses. -- nm - Will Hunting Nov 12, 16:04 6
  - government and business are fundamentally different, and I would manage each one differently based on that viewpoint. - Beryllium Nov 12, 16:05 5
    - What Beryl said. (nm) - musubi, centrist Nov 12, 16:12
    - No sir. You gotta run your government like a buisness. I got some charts and graphs here that show it all to you. -- nm - Ross Perot Nov 12, 16:09
    - Frickin tax and spend liberals, the whole damn lot of ya. -- nm - Will Hunting Nov 12, 16:06 2
      - Personally, I don't think a government should be run like a business. - Trish Nov 12, 16:17
      - Yes, but I'm also an advocate of a top-down re-evaluation of how government offices are run. - Beryllium Nov 12, 16:09
So, saying the early voting period was too long in Georgia -- that pretty much means that too many people voted, right? -- (link) - mara Nov 12, 15:58 5
- Appears to be concerned over fraud. - Dr.Vermin Nov 12, 16:03 4
  - Fraud is the excuse the losing party puts forth to keep legitimate people from voting. -- nm - Mop Nov 12, 16:28
  - don't think that's really a valid concern though. either voter fraud is going almost completely undetected, in which case early voting is the least - mafic Nov 12, 16:08 2
    - Undetected or uninvestigated? - Dr.Vermin with tinfoil hat. Nov 12, 16:15 1
      - After the polling, of course more investigating would be done. - musubi, centrist Nov 12, 16:18
Non-Fiscal: Moderate Conservative (72), Fiscal: Strong Conservative (82). I wish the abortion question had better options. - Dr.Vermin Nov 12, 15:56 15
- I didn't really like the abortion one either. restrict, restrict, restrict, abortions for all! -- nm - mafic Nov 12, 16:09
- This explains so much. - Trish Nov 12, 15:59 13
  - Really? I was expecting more than 72 for Vermy. - musubi, centrist Nov 12, 16:02 12
    - *God-given*, fundamental right! - Dr.Vermin Nov 12, 16:05 9

        Wha? For realsies? - musubi, centrist Nov 12, 16:23
        
        Moose Van Winkle. Ya know, Reagan is married now, too. -- nm - Beryllium Nov 12, 16:11 5
        
        (Or is that Reagen?) -- nm - Beryllium Nov 12, 16:11 4
        
        Reagen is the poster, Reagan is the President, Regan is the chick who pukes on priests. -- nm - Dr.Vermin Explains it All Nov 12, 16:17 2
        
        Seriously, you're married? - musubi, centrist Nov 12, 16:22 1
        
        It's true! -- (link) - Dr.Vermin, wedded Nov 12, 16:35 [Image]
        
        It's "ReyRey". - musubi, centrist Nov 12, 16:16

      - Not yet. Hopefully soon. (nm) - musubi, centrist Nov 12, 16:08

On Non-Fiscal Issues, you rank as a Strong Liberal (16). On Fiscal Issues, you rank as a Strong Liberal (15). -- nm - JaxSean Nov 12, 15:47
mara, what do you mean by 'food agressive'? - kelly Nov 12, 15:45 5
- Yes, if you reach a hand toward his bowl while he's eating. Chances are very good they've tested for it. If they haven't, I'd recommend asking that - mara Nov 12, 15:48 4
  - I noticed tonight - kelly Nov 12, 15:50 3
    - Yes! That is *so* excellent! (The interesting thing about strays is that they're often quite well socialized.) -- nm - mara Nov 12, 15:51 2
      - Really? - kelly Nov 12, 15:57 1
        
        Ack, what a dilemma for you. Well, I think you can think of this as a no-lose situation. Go with your first choice, if you can, but if you can't, your - mara Nov 12, 16:01
When we gave Paulson $700 billion to buy bad mortgages, we're we all screaming to use to the money to encourage lending instead? - Mop Nov 12, 15:45 1
- I wasn't screaming that. I was screaming, "Gimmie back that 700 billion!" (nm) - musubi Nov 12, 15:56
DMMT (my movie tonight) Zombie Strippers, 3:10 to Yuma, The Savages. FYI: The wife is watching also. -- nm - CQ with a gravy boat Nov 12, 15:43 6
- Yuma was in my top 10 last year. ymmv. :) -- nm - Trish Nov 12, 15:56
- I hate westerns and 3:10 to Yuma was really good. -- nm - JaxSean Nov 12, 15:48
- I liked both Yuma and The Savages. -- nm - kelly Nov 12, 15:46
- Yuma -- nm - con_carne Nov 12, 15:45
- Yuma was good...I still have yet to see Zombie Strippers and the other one I don't even know what it is -- nm - J Nov 12, 15:44 1
  - The Savages was that Liv Tyler thriller from May that did surprisingly good for a film that was on the proverbial shelf for more than a year -- nm - Mr. Havens Nov 12, 16:26
gah, I still want that boat, even though it's an orphan. -- nm - Beryllium Nov 12, 15:37 16
- Cheer up Commodore, you'll get your boat. - Trish Nov 12, 15:57 3
  - I'll be like Gibbs and McGeek rolled into one. :) - Beryllium Nov 12, 16:01 2
    - I don't know what that is. I'm thinking "Riptide". -- nm - Mop Nov 12, 16:30 1
      - NCIS. Excellent show on CBS. Navy-related. -- nm - Beryllium Nov 12, 16:34
- Just for fun, I'm going to re-link it. 30-foot Hustler XM named "Ballyhoo" -- (link) - Beryllium Nov 12, 15:46 11
  - Come to think of it, I don't think they even advertise a Head option on that boat. That would be a dealbreaker, if it didn't have one. -- nm - Beryllium Nov 12, 16:03
  - I love this boat. Are you really thinking of buying it? -- nm - mara Nov 12, 15:49 7
    - Logically speaking, I shouldn't buy it (nor should I buy any boat at the moment), but I am leaning towards it. -- nm - Beryllium Nov 12, 15:49 6
      - The problem is, the cost. A decent loan for it would still cost as much as $500 a month, plus slip fees on top of that, and maintenance. - Beryllium Nov 12, 15:53 5
        
        I'd go with something smaller, a laser, sailboard. ;) -- nm - the liioulu with dry umbrella Nov 12, 15:55 2
        
        Toooo small. The water here is lethally cold, so that would be unusable for most of the year. -- nm - Beryllium Nov 12, 16:00 1
        
        Think of it as incentive to learning how to sail really well. ;) - the liioulu with dry umbrella Nov 12, 16:26
        
        I wonder if you can start with something smaller. I know nothing about boats, though. -- nm - mara Nov 12, 15:54 1
        
        actually, I want to start bigger ... something with a shower and a clothes washer/dryer .. :) -- nm - Beryllium Nov 12, 16:00
  - [deleted] 1
    - Yeah, the sailing school I'm working with is going to have something like that for next spring. It would probably be most wise to go that route. -- nm - Beryllium Nov 12, 15:49
reranked scores with the three new names - non fiscal issues - crash davis Nov 12, 15:36 33
- i did that test when it got posted last week, let me see if I can find the test -- nm - truman Nov 12, 16:29 1
  - here are my scores - truman Nov 12, 16:30

  - thanks - got it -- nm - crash davis Nov 12, 16:07
- wow!!!! how am i in the bottom 25?!?!?! -- nm - Guy Nov 12, 15:58 1
  - fascist -- nm - Dano Nov 12, 16:21
- Oh, are we compiling scores? Fiscal: 82, Non-Fiscal: 72. -- nm - Dr.Vermin Nov 12, 15:58
- 72? Holy f***. (nm) - musubi Nov 12, 15:48 8
  - except 72 is a "moderate" conservative -- nm - Stephen Nov 12, 15:50 7
    - Like I told crash, that quiz's "center" is....questionable. - musubi Nov 12, 15:51 6
      - actually, I think its somewhat fair - you think you're way left on something until you meet a real lefty -- nm - crash davis Nov 12, 16:11 1
        
        Actually, I thought I was dead center middle till I went to USC. - musubi, centrist Nov 12, 16:14
      - it's all questionable to me. i just did it again, and am newly peeved about the lack of choices for multiple questions. - b! Nov 12, 16:04 1
        
        I'm going to use 35/35 for the chart :) -- nm - crash davis Nov 12, 16:14
      - so you think the "real" center would be moved in my direction? -- nm - Stephen Nov 12, 15:58 1
        
        Sorta, I guess I don't think of you as that conservative. Of course, maybe I just don't know you well enough. - musubi, centrist Nov 12, 16:07
- I'm above. Sorry. "On Non-Fiscal Issues, you rank as a Strong Liberal (16). On Fiscal Issues, you rank as a Strong Liberal (15). " -- nm - JaxSean Nov 12, 15:48 1
  - thanks - got it -- nm - crash davis Nov 12, 15:49
- Sorry, I'm late to the party - what are this all about? - kelly Nov 12, 15:47 1

  - Isn't Don Homer a canuck? -- nm - Beryllium Nov 12, 15:41
  - mafic and NWBR -- nm - crash davis Nov 12, 15:41 3
    - Walt_Disney too, I think. -- nm - mafic Nov 12, 16:02 1
      - oh yeah, I forgot -- nm - crash davis Nov 12, 16:16
    - Hmm. No pattern there. I thought we'd see Canadians largely on the lower end of the scale. -- nm - Mop Nov 12, 15:47
- How do I rank lower than RC on this list? -- nm - Mop Nov 12, 15:39 3
  - I think anyone who uses drugs should be jailed for life, but only after being tarred and feathered. -- nm - ReluctantCynic Nov 12, 15:54 1
    - See, I checked "hugging" for all the crime and punishment questions. -- nm - Mop Nov 12, 15:55
  - I'm just guessing, but it might be due to you having a 14 and RC having a 27 ;p -- nm - crash davis Nov 12, 15:40
- re ranked scores on fiscal issues - crash davis Nov 12, 15:38
- I'm 11 NF and 43 F. -- nm - psilotum Nov 12, 15:37 1
  - thanks, I'll put that in -- nm - crash davis Nov 12, 15:39
I'd like to point out that even the most conservative on the boards is a "moderate" conservative..the most liberal liberal on the board is David... - Stephen Nov 12, 15:32 8
- I'm annoyed that anarchy wasn't an option. -- nm - Trish Nov 12, 16:03
- I'm just the worst liberal. -- nm - nubby Nov 12, 15:35 4
  - I didn't see your name -- nm - Stephen Nov 12, 15:37 3
    - (It was a reference to a con_carne comment from a couple of weeks ago.) 36/29 -- nm - nubby Nov 12, 15:44 2
      - are those your scores? thanks, I'll put them in -- nm - crash davis Nov 12, 15:44 1
        
        yup, just took it -- nm - nubby Nov 12, 15:45
- yeah, the centrist position on non-fiscal issues is held by crash, Meg, and musubi -- nm - crash davis Nov 12, 15:33 1
  - *high-fives fellow centrist* (nm) - musubi Nov 12, 15:50
*points out that he's not in the list* -- nm - Beryllium Nov 12, 15:29 1
- oops, how'd I miss you? I'll correct that -- nm - crash davis Nov 12, 15:30
Yeah, Netflix is pretty fast indeed -- nm - CQ with a gravy boat Nov 12, 15:26
