So I took one of those political compass thingies and... wow...

I figured I'd be more on the authoritarian side, being strongly for business regulation. Also wished there was a "true neutral" option for some stuff, like abortion. Oh well, these online litmus tests aren't worth much anyway.

For, in order that men should resist injustice, something more is necessary than that they should think injustice unpleasant. They must think injustice absurd; above all, they must think it startling. They must retain the violence of a virgin astonishment. When the pessimist looks at any infamy, it is to him, after all, only a repetition of the infamy of existence. But the optimist sees injustice as something discordant and unexpected, and it stings him into action.

I, am human being which is 14 years old.
I, ask myself quite often, why do we exist, do we exist, what is the meaning of life, probably i ask myself because i care.
For me, some people dont care enough, asking them, what is their meaning of life, what is their life goal, they anwser with unfullfilling "i dont know".
Socially, my life is quite sad, not everyone understands me, and people are quick to judge me, i do not have many friends, one of them has similiar philosophy to me, though.

When i was younger i was very religious, yes, i remember those golden times of not caring, probably if i didnt care, my life would be happier.
I stopped believing, well, when i felt very depressed i found out that actually, no amount of prayers for better will bring me salvation, step by step, i lost my faith by looking at "faithful" people who actually create more hate and pain than people with no religion, i found out that you actually dont need religion to be good person, and now, this is rule i follow to this day, i hate people who are "faithful", yet fail to see that their "God", would rather want them to respect eachother, not discriminate others  "in name of god", i have been discriminated a lot by "faithful" people. I think that if there would be God which loved everything, he would not let so much pain and hate in the world.

Secondly, i dislike my country, oh yes, the beautiful Poland in which you meet intolerant zealots every step, suprisingly big amount of stupid and mindless people, which vote for one guy, just to rant how much he sucks at leading our country and wastes our tax money for other politicians, instead for good of the country. I hate Euro 2012, it will just bring Poland loses, since the stadions/arenas(whatever you call buildings in which these guys will play) will be deconstructed after Euro because we dont have money for upkeep of stadions/arenas. In Poland people work for incredibly low money, average of 1300 polish zlotych monthly, which is max 500 dollars, or even less. In my opinion my country has no future. Which is why i plan after ending of education fly away to another country, in which i plan to live in.

Third, i listen to extreme metal, so not everyone accepts music which i listen to, even some people who are clueless saying its talentless and satanic.
Im interested in music and medicine, if possible i would want to be death metal artist, or a forensic pathologist.
Thats probably all about my quite sad life. Now i feel better that i have wrote it all.

I am an eighteen year old Jack Russel Terrier living in southern Wisconsin. I have one younger sibling, and am typically asocial unless convinced to be otherwise. I stand approximately five and a half feet tall, and am male. I am currently studying for a degree in Mathematics and Physics, with no particular concentrations, and am conversant in Spanish and Japanese. My family lives in Washington state, where we keep chickens for eggs and for fun. I am no longer capable of telling whether I am a really optimistic cynic, a fairly cynical realist, or terms like 'cynic', 'optimist' and 'realist' are just terms people use to avoid discussing their actual beliefs in detail. I enjoy mountain climbing, scrapbooking and videogames, though I have had less time for any of that than I would like recently due to college. I have never been sick, ever, am probably immortal, and once ate an entire pizza because it was free and I didn't have any place to store it. I am also completely insane, and exactly half of the above statements (not including this one) are true.

I acknowledge the fact that there are in fact an odd number of statements. This is because one of them is true only half of the time.

I'm tall, very skinny. I wear glasses. I look reasonably androgynous and have very long dark blonde/light brown hair. I want to be a girl. I'm pretty much a hippie. I have a passion for trying new things. I'm very quiet except around friends. I'm super liberal, an atheist, and a huge utilitarian.

Oh well, I'm comparable to Ghandi at least.

Funny thing; my younger self used to be on the opposite side of the chart, if I'm not mistaken; but maybe trying to avoid as much political BS and following my personal wants with a grain of moral salt (and not to forget, being true to myself as much as the questions would allow (they really need a 5th neutral option in there to further reduce bias; at least 3 of the questions needed one)) have slanted by beliefs more towards wanting a truly free or independent world, provided it moderates itself enough morally and otherwise so it won't rattle itself apart.

 I am a twenty something very chill dude who can't remember his own age. I'm lazy and broke, having spent almost as much time unemployed as i spent in art college not finishing my major, and trice as much as i've been employed. Ocasionally i make a few bucks by posing for drawing classes. I'm confortable with my economic situation, though, as long as i can afford internet, which shouldn't be for long now.

 I dress in black, brown, grey and occasionally white, usually a black blazer, a bonet and work boots with a t-shirt and jeans. I sport a mighty beard and rarely cut my hair, if it wasn't for the blazer i'd often be mistaken for a hobbo. I'm sometimes told i'm good looking underneath all the hair in the rare occasions that i shave, but those are lies because i have a lazy eye. I still don't know how i managed to convince this hottie to date me, but i was probably better looking back then. We've been living together for 3 years now.
 I generally listen to sombre and gothicky music in the genres rock, blues, eletronic, folk and world music, either indie or old enough not to be mainstream anymore, but also jazz and or music weird enough for most people to have trouble classing it as such. I respect but cannot stand baroque music and classical music in general, although i can appreciate soviet imperial hymns and early contemporary classical, like Mahler and Bartok.
 I don't like anime and manga in general, i feel it's less an art style than an actual pictographic alphabet. I can appreciate stylized drawing, but the way it has become standardized i feel it's less drawing and more writing symbols designed by others. I also loathe the way it tries so hard to be cute and spectacular, failing miserably in my opinion.
 I also don't like MLP:FiM, not because it's girly, childish, and colorful, i enjoy plenty other children cartoons, but i simply cannot see what's so unique about it. I really don't get how it's so much more popular than Adventure Time, for example.

 I'm also a very close minded totalitarian leftist. I'm all for freedom of speech and oppose state sanctioned murder, or death penalty, in every case, but couldn't give a damn for privacy and private property if it gets in the way of security and social stability. Everyone should be fed, clothed and housed, and their social status should be entirely dependant on their own merits rather than the education their parents managed to afford and the capital they inherited from them, and nobody through the ownership of the means of production, should benefit more from somebody else's work that the worker himself. Despite my radical views, i generally get along well with people of extremely different ideologies, by not hating the player, hating the game instead.

I also have a cat.

I'm a seventeen-year-old Caucasian Englishman (very English; my mother can trace her family tree to Anne Boleyn, and my father's family name was in the original Domesday Book), currently living in the States.  I'm the oldest of four children in my family; I have two younger brothers and a younger sister.  For about two months every year, our ages follow a neat pattern: right now, we are 17, 15, 13, and 11, respectively, but that will end in June.  I'm 6'1" or 6'2", depending on how much I slouch.  I have brownish hair, but not very dark; I'd go with "bronze" (it used to be blonde, and I'm told it was actually red when I was born).  I just let it do what it wants, and I only cut it when it gets annoying, which is usually when I can see it just by looking up.  I genuinely don't know what color my eyes are.  Everyone I ask gives me a different answer, and if I ask the same person twice, I get two different responses.  I believe they are what's known as "glasz," meaning they can appear blue, green, or grey, depending on lighting and other factors.

I hate wearing shorts.  My standard outfit is a grey cotton t-shirt with some picture or phrase on the front (I have about ten different ones, and I often don't look at which one I've chosen that day until someone points it out), with a pair of zip-off cargo pants.  I don't zip them off, though.  Sometimes I'll change up the shirt, maybe with a solid-color, synthetic (polyester) t-shirt (no long sleeves if I can help it).  In the fall and winter, I wear a heavy black coat full-time.  It becomes a habitual thing, and I'll often accidentally keep wearing it well into the spring, at which point it makes me sweat to death massive discomfort.  I have a really old pair of black shoes with really thin soles, which are rapidly falling apart.  When I walk through a puddle, they just soak it up, but they do at least dry quickly.  I'm not given to changing up my outfit very much.

I have ADHD Inattentive, and it's pretty bad.  Without my medication, I cannot focus on one task for more than a few minutes at a time.  I'm also very lazy, which may be partially blamed on said ADHD, but I generally have a pretty terrible work ethic.  I like to think I'm getting better though, especially now that I'm in college and have to motivate myself to do the work and get good grades.

That brings up another point: I'm very intelligent.  I just finished my freshman year of college at RIT, even though I only turned 17 in January.  I got a 2260 combined score on my SATs, and an 800 each on the SAT II tests for Math and Physics, despite having no formal Physics education.  I then went on to get a 5 on the AP Calculus AB exam, with a 4 each on AP Physics C - Mechanics, AP US History, and AP US Government.  This, despite still never actually taking a Physics class in high school (technically, I did attend one in my senior year [actually my third year of high school; I got all my required credits done in just three years], but I just sat in the back and self-taught myself enough for the AP exam).  I try not to make a big deal of it, though.  If someone asks, I tell them, but it's not something I brag about (this post aside), and I'm normally pretty modest.

I enjoy video games, but only a select few, and not very often.  I'm a big fan of the Elder Scrolls games, and I just finished the main quest in Skyrim for the first time.  I own almost all of the main-series Pokemon games, and I love them all.  I like Castlevania and Mario.  I also like the Legend of Zelda, but I'm not much good at them.  My favorite series of all time, though, would probably be Kirby.  If you hadn't guessed by now, I'm a pretty big fan of Nintendo.

I don't watch much TV or movies.  I like Top Gear and Doctor Who (David Tennant is my favorite Doctor), and I also like MLP:FiM.  Adventure Time is okay, but I haven't watched it all that much.  I used to be a huge Spongebob fan, but I fell out with the series after the movie.  As for movies, I like a lot of Pixar and Dreamworks movies, and Studio Ghibli.  I seem to prefer animated movies to live-action ones, though I can't say why.

I'm very shy and introverted (Meyers-Briggs type INTP).  I have a small circle of close friends, as well as acquaintances from the BSA Troop I'm in and people I see in my classes.  I'd much rather sit in front of my computer (MacBook Pro, with Windows 7 on a partition [for games]) than go to a party or something like that.  I've never pursued any sort of romantic relationship, mostly for lack of confidence.  Even so, I don't really have much interest in that sort of thing.

I'm an atheist, and this is where I placed on the political compass:
