    It is actually quite surprising how many people are close to HoreTore, even though he is generally seen as being "the socialist" around here

    Well, to be honest, I think I should be a little to the right on the economics, seeing as I want free markets, just not everywhere... Some things are best done by the state IMO. In other areas, the private sector handles things just fine, though I'd like the state to be a competitor too.

    HoreTore seems like a socialist, but he can be reasonable. What you need is JAG to stop by and take the quiz.

    We socialists are always reasonable

    It's all the others who are being unreasonable!

    Lol.

    I think I'd be more libertarian on the social issues scale if they had some different questions.

    Even Jag can be reasonable sometimes, he just leads with his bleeding heart. If you're really looking for an off-the-hook Lefty, have Idaho take it. I bet the chart can't measure him.

    My aim, then, was to whip the rebels, to humble their pride, to follow them to their inmost recesses, and make them fear and dread us. Fear is the beginning of wisdom.

    I am tired and sick of war. Its glory is all moonshine. It is only those who have neither fired a shot nor heard the shrieks and groans of the wounded who cry aloud for blood, for vengeance, for desolation.

    Ok I have done some updates and added some extra things. First the main chart has been updated - SFTS is now the closest to the average of the org.



    Secondly I've added an EU/US/Other category with varying series. I haven't put names or the average into this as I'm trying to keep it less busy than the original chart - cross reference to that if you want to find yourself. If I've incorrectly categorised you I'm sorry, get back to me and I'll change it.



    Last I've put together a comparison to find distances between all members. This just does a simple calculation (who can remember back to high school and finding the length of the hypotenuse?) between every member and plots it. The closer to green/the smaller the number, the closer you are, red is the opposite.



    If you want to include these in your thread Divinus Arma, feel free.
