Why don't you find out.

I still prefer labels. I mean, without them, I might as well call a girl a tree.
Are you saying that girls make good roots?
You're horrible!

Tell you what, you take the quiz, and tell me what label it slaps on you after.
Religions were invented to impress and dupe illiterate, superstitious stone-age peasants. So in this modern, enlightened age of information, what's your excuse? Or are you saying with all your advantages, you were still tricked as easily as those early humans?

I have taken the test numerous times. There's probably a thread or two around here somewhere with my results in them.

Do you realize how much I have posted here in four years? There's no way I could find the threads.

You didn't say it was that old. Fine, I'll take a look at the site, geez.
Edit: Well that was thoroughly useless. I'm in the same spot as Gandhi and I hate a lot of what he thought were good ideas. Clearly the test is nowhere near comprehensive enough. And I'm not opposed to labels, I just dislike the ones that currently exist, and this one wasn't attempting to revolutionize this system, so...yeah, waste of time. Thanks.

I went through two-hundred and thirteen pages of posts to try to find it. I only looked for the "politics" thread while I searched, but I could not find a single thread regarding the test. It must mean that someone posted the test some place other than the politics thread, which makes no sense.

Get thee to "Off Topic" and get back to work.
If you get to thinking you’re a person of some influence, try ordering somebody else’s dog around.
