David, you should have more faith in Pat not making typos!
6% interest is a lot, wtf does anybody understand money.
Then stonie is 50% Libertarian because as I recall he's fairly isolationist, although he would probably clash with you on foreign aid. |

Nice score brah. You're coming to my side.
No I mean even if they have the money to pay for it, but I see your confusion. The antecedent of 'it' in my sentence was 'their classes' and not 'their loans'. With the latter I agree with your rewording. The dude said "Should I take out a loan to pay for my classes? I have a good job so I can afford to pay for them out of pocket." To which the lady replied, "Well you shouldn't do that. The interest on the loan is only 6% so it hardly matters. It's better to just take out the loan." |

Finally took that test.
Your score is...
I'll assume you meant "even if they don't have the money to pay for it". In which case I agree wholeheartedly. |

I'm doing this orientation right now for new students. I just heard the person from financial aid recommend that a student take out loans to pay for their classes even if they have the money to pay for it.
This is absolutely ridiculous. |

I got bored after 4 questions in that thing. I don't know much about economics, and I get the feeling that kind of makes the test pointless anyway. I'm really socially libertarian, though, so I'll make it an even 50% libertarian.

Well, question 61 seems to me to be the writing of a mad man... or perhaps a homeland security agent monitoring the site.
I also find it silly to think that a war can be fought without there being civilian casualties. I do owe my existence to the dropping of the atomic bomb, after all.
Also, the state doesn't need to be completely abolished. I'm a minarchist-libertarian not a anarcho-capitalist. Edited by manofmystery - January 13 2011 at 00:57 |

Those are very nice what ifs. There's also the what if of him successfully diffusing the situation because he's armed. Since the what ifs are canceling out let's go with the side that doesn't involve government deciding what citizens should be able to carry around.

The last section is the most exciting part.

I got the link with the CCW holder at Tucson. I don't want to diminish his heroism, but if he had acted a little differently it would have been horrible. So while I'm not saying we need more gun control, it is odd to me that so many people prescribing more guns for safety in events like this don't realize the chaos of the situation. Besides almost accidentally killing a hero, what if he had entered drawn and the other guy mistook him for a second shooter?

And it's not a conversion. That would imply I was a communist or something.

27 for me, although I would be willing to bend on some of them. I found the last section a bit terrifying, though.

I scored perfect. That makes perfect sense.

Well, yeah. If only I could think for myself!
Actually, I think my score is way too high. 28 is an insult. Any test that calls me a soft-core libertarian is obviously made by hamsters.

Hmm so I can't convert you fully just by showing you how a free market better provides for the poor and the working class than impersonal government bureaucracy prone to creating negative economies from unintended consequences. Consider yourself converted. |
