I wonder what the average for the 3 scores is, and distribution.

@Footjob, you can microwave most grains I've tried pretty easily through the microwave, even if they aren't packaged for it.

Liberated atheist? I feel euphoric already. And I feel that anarchism is really off the mark for me.

Hmmm. It would seem all fine and well but I've always found the expression "progressive" annoying. There's something about it that irks me - maybe it's the way it's been used in the states as a nicer word than Socialism.

Your test scores indicate that you are an open-minded progressive; this is the political profile one might associate with a journalist. It appears that you are skeptical towards religion, and have a balanced attitude towards humanity in general.

Your attitudes towards economics appear socialist, and combined with your social attitudes this creates the picture of someone who would generally be described as a humanist.

To round out the picture you appear to be, political preference aside, a sensible realist with several strong convictions.

Okay then.

I have no idea what Eugenics is. I may re-take the test later, thinking a bit more about my answers.

The improvement of the human genepool with state sponsored programs. These can range from aborting foetuses that will develop genetic defects to the dystopian end of the scale, like the old aristocracies used to do by sterilizing the poor and weak or even the more recent Nazi example, which did Nazi things in order to have an actual society based on social darwinism.

My problem with the eugenics questions is whether ethical genefixing would be considered eugenics. It technically fits the definition of the word, though eliminating alleles instead of people doesn't exactly have the same moral problems.

Well, I'm not entirely sure if just believing in the use of genefixing would apply towards the modern, intended meaning of eugenics. The entire idea has a lot of negative connotation and for obvious reasons. Eugenics to me implies just removing a certain "undesired" gene from a group of people by not allowing people with said genes to reproduce, either by discouraging it or killing them outright.

Nazi example, which did Nazi things in order to have an actual society based on social darwinism.
Fun fact: The Nazis justified their eugenics programs with previous US court rulings. It was a serious thing in the US for a long time; applied only to "criminals" but various disabilities can make it hard to stand up for yourself against your hateful neighbors.

Eugenics to me implies just removing a certain "undesired" gene from a group of people by not allowing people with said genes to reproduce, either by discouraging it or killing them outright.
I believe this is the common interpretation of eugenics today.
