What Keef said.


"Don't you think the world would be a much fluffier place if everyone loved each other more, and there weren't so many naughty irresponsible environment-destroying mega corporations"?


"Do you think that people who are a bit different from you ought to be hanged?"


Of course I'm exaggerating to make a point.


I always thought I was a bit blue-tinged-with-red (like Marmora Man) - an elegant lavendar shade in fact. Turns out I'm more magenta...

Meeting you lot in that liberal/left quarter I'm down at

Economic Left/Right: -8.25

Social Libertarian/Authoritarian: -6.05


Not made up about the minus orientation of said quarter. Consider my answers to be full of human spirit and positivity and i'm lolling around in negative space. Humph!

I always thought it was an interesting paradox that you can be in favour of state intervention when it comes to matters of the economy but get the hell out my life on social matters!


It's where I find myself comfortably but the conflict bothers me. If you trust the government to run your economy, i.e. state owned industries, healthy welfare state, NHS etc etc why do we not trust them to govern our lives? I wouldn't let a government tell me what to eat or drink but would trust them to run a multi-billion dollar healthcare system. :-S

Although a relative newcomer to the forum I am also coming out close to Ghandi.


I notice the survey asked if you think same-sex couples in stable, loving relationships should be allowed to ADOPT. Hold the front page - plenty of them are actually getting married and (with a little help) having their own children.

    • I don't know how it works now but my late parents had little money when they were retired (just state pension and they rented their flat) and they used to take their cat to the Blue Cross (In Victoria if I remember correctly) where treatment was free for those who could'nt afford a private vet. I sincerely hope similar is available still because for many elderly their pet is their main source of comfort and company.  
    • In a couple of places locally, I have come across this. I am fairly sure that they attempt to do the bill in their head. If you just say , “no, I think it’s x” they start again and get to an agreeable number, or find a calculator. I don’t think it’s a malicious attempt to swindle people. Just not great arithmetic.
    • There are excellent charities like the Greenwich Wildlife Network who will help if you report any concerns with local wildlife. Foxes are wonderful creatures who had been forced into our town and cities and are just doing their best to survive, we should take care of them when we can. 
    • Like I thought… prob like that for most of the day.. especially after people had walked their dogs, with friends, relatives  kids…
