Indeed' date=' all hail the green box, bringer of good viewpoints

^This is Hitler reincarnate.

 

EDIT: why are people changing away from green? Be the good guys!

How about this?

That's scaringly close to Hitler.

 

Wow, saying that's Hitler is exceedingly stupid. Hitler was a National Socialist, i.e. Left. The idea that socialists are right wing didn't even come up until long after WWII as a way for Democrats to demonize Republicans. I can debate it more, but I just woke up.

 

I haven't taken the test yet, but a lot of the questions are push-questions, just from what I've read of it.

National Socialist =/= Left. It had leftist principle, yes.

 

It was still a free market based society. Hitler's idea was : The State and the Market are one. So the state controls the market (left), but the market also controlled the state (right), so it was a very centrist ideology.

 

He ruled with an iron fist, thus placing him Center Top. That's pretty damn close...

The amount of involvement Hitler had in the lives of people kind of goes against Left ideals.

 

But most people are just getting this from the after-test results which pinpoints some people's assumed locations on the compass. Hitler was one of them.

 

Yes' date=' I know that the end of the test places him more right than left, and I am saying it is incorrect. And the Left wants a lot of involvement in people's lives, it is just masked more under the protection of specific groups. Group Rights is definitely a controlling doctrine, it's just hidden as part of Civil Liberties. Hitler took group rights to the extreme, by saying that Whites had the ultimate rights, and everyone else was less than them.

 

Anyway, here's my chart:

I was saying that's what gave most people that impression.

Uh, Left ideals focus on equalizing things, whereas the Right generally prefers ideas such as judgement on what you are born into. While the right would in fact mean less involvement and leaving things the way they are, the left is an attempt to give benefits to groups that need it. And Hitler was only slightly to the right on the chart for the record, he was just extremely Authoritarian.

Being bad and good are also different viewpoints. There is "good" and "bad"' date=' but there isn't "wrong" and "right". So what I'm saying is that your viewpoint is bad in my opinion (that is a viewpoint), but it isn't wrong.

Well, if there isn't wrong or right, then I'll go out and steal a car. It's bad, it isn't wrong, and I really need a car, so in my viewpoint it's good.

 

Think before you post.

Read the bolded. And think before you post. Wrong and right are absolute values, bad and good differ from individual to individual. I just said I consider you a bad person. If you feel offended, you can report me to a mod.

You know what, this is turning into a debate. I'm going to go make a thread for this is debates, once Icy approves it, we can continue.

I love debates, but honestly, don't just call me a bad person based on viewpoints. I believe in individual rights, rather than group rights. I believe free markets make free people, and that freedom stands opposed to constraints. I believe that larger government equals more constraints, and that thus government should be as small as possible. It should be there to defend us, and to keep the nation stable, but it isn't there to give us whatever we want because we can't get it for ourselves. I believe in equality of opportunity, not equality of results, and I believe that in any system, everyone doing what is best for themselves is better for the group as a whole. I believe people should be proud of their nation, and that a Republic is the best form of government, and none of that is inherently bad.

 

EDIT:

There really are true things. Examples:

 

- Right now' date=' I am posting

- God does not exist

- 2+2=4

- Hitler lived once

- Earth is orbiting a single star

 

Can you contradict those? Impossible!

Read religion thread, I've disproved the second one in several different ways.

Just because I called you bad it doesn't mean you must believe me. If you would've called me bad, I would respect your opinion by not giving a damn about it. I also like debating - as long as the answer is not obvious (or as I called it - a truth). I also think too much work is done into helping India, I also think the Death Penalty is correct, I also think some people are simply unlucky and we shouldn't care about it...so I'm also a bit "bad", based on my own standards.

I just said semantical truths do not exist or cannot be determined. Learn to read.

 

 

And Frission, a smaller government leads to group rights rather than individual ones.
