1. The decline of traditional families has caused more harm than good - yes
2. The moral decay of our society is a significant threat to our civilization - yes
3. Terrorist propaganda, incitements to violence or other violent hate speech should NOT be protected free speech - maybe (it depends on the specific nature of each example)
4. People should be allowed private ownership of heavy weapons to defend themselves from the government - yes
5. Euthanasia, abortion and suicide should all be legal - no
6. Hard drugs (eg. cocaine, heroin), should be legal - yes
7. The government always has the right to impose taxes on people - maybe (do they have the legal
authority? Yes. Do they have a moral right? No.)
8. The government always has the right to dictate what people can and cannot do - no
9. Whether you agree with a war or not, it is your duty to support the armed forces - yes (I
personallydo and I
personallyagree with that statement but if others disagree, that is their right. I don't like the word 'duty' here).
10. Multiculturalism, religious pluralism and diversity are something we should strive for as a society - yes (I don't like 'strive for'. Should we embrace diversity and cultural/religious pluralism? Yes.
11. Our laws should be based on our religious beliefs and values like the 10 commandments - no (who is "our"? See above as to why this is problematic. There is no state religion and therefore our laws cannot and should not be base on any one religion).
12. Private corporations would be better at delivering services than government agencies - yes
13. Government interference does more harm than good - yes
14. The smaller the government is, the better - yes
15. Welfare and similar programs are not worth the money - yes (as in they are not worth the money. This is very awkwardly worded. I do believe in some sort of safety net but if people were not taxed as highly as they are, they would have more of their own money to invest in themselves).
16. The culture of dependancy on the government has created an entire class of useless people - yes (I wouldn't call anyone 'useless' but I agree with the general sentiment).
17. A society is judged by how it treats it's most vulnerable citizens - yes
18. Income inequality harms our society - yes (just as forced income equality would harm our society. Terribly vague question).
19. Our nation should eliminate all foreign aid and spend that money on other things - maybe (I would not eliminate
all foreign aid but I am for eliminating most of it).
20. Our nation should never intervene in civil wars or rebellions, let them take care of their own problems - maybe (also terribly vague. We interfere way too much but I don't think we should eliminate the option altogether. And, I am for humanitarian intervention, which would be excluded due to the vague nature of the statement).
21. Dangerous ideologies that threaten our nation and our values should be fought across the globe, not just at home - yes (although the United States does this way too often. However, I would rather take the fight to the enemy. I'm glad WWII was not fought in our nations borders (other than Pearl Harbor, of course)).
22. The United Nations is a completely useless organization and it's not worth being a member - maybe (it is pretty useless but it's not completely useless. I am for some sort of global peace and dialogue vehicle but I am not a big fan of the UN).
23. Our country should never join a currency union like the Euro - yes (as in we should not ever join a currency union. Also not worded the best).
24. There should be a single worldwide government - NO!!!! There should not be.
25. My country is inherently better than other countries - yes (Murica! But seriously, our foundation is superior to many nations and has resulted in the US being pretty great, relatively speaking).
26. We should just nuke our enemies, it's a waste of time to try and deal with them - no
doh
27. Racial profiling is never a legitimate law enforcement tactic - no (let's be honest. I should be used sparingly but if airport security is a little bit more likely to pull Middle Easterners aside for a closer check, I get it. There's no point in putting our collective heads in the sand).
28. Some nations are poor because of their culture or values - yes
29. Immigration has a generally positive effect on my nation - yes
30. Illegal immigrants should have a path to citizenship - maybe (I don't want to reward illegal actions but in some cases I think we should give them a path to citizenship).
Collectivism score: -17%
Authoritarianism score: -50%
Internationalism score: -17%
Tribalism score: 0%
Liberalism score: 0%
I must have answered a question or 2 slightly differently as my authoritarianism score was a higher negative the first time around and my liberalism score was -17% rather than zero.
