I'm not going to bother taking the test again. I usually come out near Gandhi and I'm comfortable there.

I don't know, he was a bit of a racist, that Ghandi chap.

Not sure I understand that. What does "Communism" have to do with being Authoritarian?

Anyone so limited that they can only spell a word one way is severely handicapped!

I'm over near Wounded King somewhere. And also too lazy to take the test again.

Now he tells me...
Btw, I noticed you used it too, the rule of three. All jokes work better when people apply the rule of three...but where does that come from? And apparently it is common knwledge that everyone has. And not just jokes, in all cases, rule of three. I might start a new thread if no one has an easy answer.

Yeah, I tried to convince my wife of the importance of the rule of three, but for some reason she didn't see it that way.

The question that struck me as weirdest was the one where they asked whether abstract art can ever be considered as being art.
Now I understand how that question could be a shibboleth as between the left and the right if we assume that conservatives are all blind and stupid, but what it boils down to is "are you a retarded lump of shit with no appreciation of beauty, and if so when did your fucking goddamned soul die?"
I just wanted to get that off my chest.

I don't think it was about appreciation of beauty. After all, one could still consider it art while not liking it.
I assumed that it was testing the tendencies of conservatives to yearn for the "good old days" and to reject anything trendy.
