Yknow what would be interesting: we could start a section for PC, where each thread is a voting thread, the votes are the PC settings, the votes are public, the votes can be changed by the voters, and then the discussion is what it is.
I mean, if people were into something like that. It would really piss a lot of people off. |

I'm into discussing things and pissing people off but I'm not sure I understand the mechanics of what you're describing. Can you dumb it down for me some more?

Well, like, under Cellar Meta, maybe, we could have a section called "Political Compass", and in there we could post threads where the subject is each question in the P.C. Like the first one would be
Subject: If economic globalisation is inevitable, it should primarily serve humanity rather than the interests of trans-national corporations. Then that thread would have a poll
And can change your vote as long as the poll is OPEN, so we could just leave it open, or maybe leave it open for a while. And then, there would be discussion, and people would have to like defend their positions, or people would have things they wanted to defend, or encourage others to vote like them And maybe if it all worked we would post a "Cellar PC" results graphing everybody's final answer and the Cellar's voting result Either that or there would be such fury that it would lead to the burning of fiber optic cables. Or maybe people wouldn't give a shit and the thing would limp along until useless. I can't tell. |

Yeah, that sounds fun. I was being dumb thinking you wanted a fullon survey that interactively displayed the political compass of the cellar as we argued... however that would work.
yeah, your idea sounds fun. and possible. and fun.

I've pissed off enough people around here, I would be very reluctant to participate.

As I have thought about this I may have wobbled left because of the way the questions were worded. A number had extreme statements which made me chose agree or disagree without "strongly". I felt by the end I was reading into the questions and had a very hard time accepting the more extreme statements.

I felt the same way about a lot of the questions. They kind of forced you to choose a bias, by virtue of being extreme, absolute statements.

Economic Left/Right: -6.38 Social Libertarian/Authoritarian: -4.97 I really like the distribution on this forum. It's nice to have so many compatriots, but equally nice to have a balanced viewpoint represented, as well. |

I felt that a lot of the questions really needed an "it depends" option.
