Based on your answers, you are most likely a realist. Read below to learn more about each foreign policy perspective.

Eh.

Eh.

I call BS...a realist wouldn't be that far in denial about AJ

[timvp]

And a realist would think that Shane Heal is an NBA player?

We went over our answers together (after we got the results) and we had about half of them different. But we both got the same thing - Realist.

[Kori Ellis]

By the way, that was a bad quiz.

Do you have another one that has some domestic issues?

Good one...

Well it's only got 4 categories...the moderates will grade out as a liberal or realist and the extremists will grade out as Neocons or Isolationists...

Holy crap...that's beyond extreme. That's more extreme than some of the most extreme personalities in history...and don't sell yourself short...you are much more of a dreamer than John Lennon was. Ole Johnny Boy liked his $$$ and toys. You exist in a state we call morphine high, or Karl Marx's wet dream...the reason you see no leaders in that dual nether realm of the compass that you inhabit, is because anyone that far out....their beliefs wouldn't lead them into leading it'd be wrong to do so....

You know what scares me...you seemed like the moderate Argie on the forum.

How the could you stand living under a guy like Galtieri?

And are your views considered extreme in your home country?

I was born two months before Galtieri lost the war and left! If I was around at that time, I wouldn't be posting here probably!

Yes, my views are considered extreme in my country, but also moderate...how is that possible? Well, I'm a person that puts human beings above anything else, state, religions, politics, economies, nationalities, etc, etc, etc., I have 4 grandparents with 4 different nationalities, I was born in Argentina but lived in 6 countries, and I can say I have left friends in each one of them. Many people here have hatred towards the US with no reason, that's why I might look moderate to you. I'm not saying smeagol or anyone else is that kind of person, I'm just saying that here many people tend to blame the powerful as the first reason that comes to their mind, whether it's the US, Europe, IMF, our own goverment or Santa. Of course, neither we or the other countries are saints (we all have our good, bads, right, wrongs, black, whites and greys), but my own stance on the matter is that we should care for our own (country and region) first and once we are able to grow and become strong, then take positions in the global scale. Otherwise, it will be history repeating.

Usually I'm not represented neither by the classical left or right in my country. Our Right Wing is corrupt, and cares only about making themselves richer, basically, they have been ing up the country for the last 40 years; our Left is pathetic, they didn't notice the Berlin wall falling, they believe Stalinism was good, have Fidel Castro as a hero, and they are divided in inifinite parties on minnor differences.

Oh, I don't believe in Marx either. At least not as some in the left do, like he was the Bible for the left, where everything that St. Marx said was unconstested holy word. To me, he was a smart political and economical analyst of his time, but things have changed, obviously. But I can read something different everyday and change my point of view, nothing is sacred other than a human being life (in that sense I'm a secular humanist).

Since voting is compulsory here, I have voted in the elections, but usually I made negative votes, or voted a small party that didn't have a chance of winning (like the Pro-Ecology Green Party).

Sorry for the long paragraph, don't hate me and go all nuclear on me now, whottt! (Oh, that too, I have a sense of humour, I can laugh at many things, like your political incorrect humour!)

Probably this whole thinking of mine is what keeps me away from this Poltical Forum. It seems to be limited to:

- Bush/Republicans bad in anything they do.
- Bush/Republicans great in anything they do.
- US is
- US is the best thing since sliced bread
- Political and ideas debates mutate into personal attacks and calling people names.
- Many others. (No, not you Manny!)

On a side note, I can understand you getting upset with people from other countries being critical towards the US, in some parts is a cliché (blame the US for everything), but in others it's justified. I can't say what it would be like with Argentina in that position, , the world would probably be a schizophrenic, corrupt place if we were the leading military and economical nation!

Another side note, my ideal country in practical terms in my lifetime would be something close (but not quite similar) to any of the Scandinavian nations.

[MannyIsGod]

Or George Bush? That should rank very close to him.

[ChumpDumper]

Realist.

Eh.

Indeed.

Chump take the political compass test please....
