[God]

Yes, Tim, but the philosophy has a bit of trouble being applied today, since not that many crimes in our law system could have that applied to them.

It's not just talking about the legal system. It is talking about the philosophy itself.

[Nocturne]

It's not just talking about the legal system. It is talking about the philosophy itself.

I still believe in the philosophy.

[Blake]

Here are my results; I think they're roughly accurate. I've always considered myself to be a borderline Communist. I agree that some of these questions need to be more specific, though.

Economic Left/Right: -7.75
Social Libertarian/Authoritarian: -6.31

[Nocturne]

Communism is a rather impossible concept in today's society.

[Blake]

Communism is a rather impossible concept in today's society.

I understand that; that's why I consider myself a profound leftist, rather than a full-fledged Communist.

[Nocturne]

Ah, I see.

[God]

I still believe in the philosophy.

But it's stupid. Revenge is pointless and regressive.

[Nocturne]

And I suppose letting convicted murderers roam around in life until they do it again is progressive?

No one chooses his or her country of birth, so it's foolish to be proud of it. Disagree

Our race has many superior qualities, compared with other races. Strongly Disagree

The enemy of my enemy is my friend. Disagree

Military action that defies international law is sometimes justified. Disagree [I'm sitting on the fence with this. If action against law is able to be justified, this can bent in dangerous ways. If you look at the military coup in Fiji, or moreover Burma/Myanmar, the military action has put the citizens into poverty and has not been beneficial. And who's to judge whether the action is justifiable or not?]

There is now a worrying fusion of information and entertainment. Disagree

People are ultimately divided more by class than by nationality. Agree

Controlling inflation is more important than controlling unemployment. Disagree

The only social responsibility of a company should be to deliver a profit to its shareholders. Disagree

The rich are too highly taxed. Disagree

Those with the ability to pay should have the right to higher standards of medical care. Agree [if it were put in the reverse sense, I would disagree. If they were to have said 'those without the ability to pay should not be entitled to medical care' I believe even those who cannot pay should be entitled to at least adequate health care, and usually they are the ones who need it most.]

Governments should penalise businesses that mislead the public. Disagree [mislead is a vague term. If they were to break trades law, obviously penalty is in order but simple marketing strategies which might mislead some, I don't believe deserve penalty.]

A genuine free market requires restrictions on the ability of predator multinationals to create monopolies. Agree

The freer the market, the freer the people. Strongly Disagree

Abortion, when the woman's life is not threatened, should always be illegal. Strongly Disagree

All authority should be questioned. Agree

An eye for an eye and a tooth for a tooth. Agree [With the eye for an eye philosophy, there are two interpretations I found. I would apply it in a sense that people should be expected to contribute at least something to society rather than living life for only themselves while they are taking from society, or as vengeance. If it were the latter, disagree.]

Taxpayers should not be expected to prop up any theatres or museums that cannot survive on a commercial basis. Strongly Disagree

[God]

What the fuck are you talking about, Nocturne? This isn't even about the legal system, you said you agree with it as a personal philosophy, which factually is fucking stupid. Who said anything about letting prisoners roam around? What the fuck are you even talking about?

[RedCheetah]

Eye for an eye as a basic philosophy isn't bad.
