Economic Left/Right: -8.75
Social Libertarian/Authoritarian: -8.77

Used to be moreso to the bottom left few years ago I was practically in the corner...

Oh no, I have become more to the right! Augh!

/seppuku

Actually I think it might be that before, I might have said 'strongly disagree' to the compulsory school attendance,
but frankly I had to change that to 'strongly agree'.... Sorry, I don't care how good your mommy is at "homeschooling" you, and go ahead, "homeschool" all you want for all I care... I think attending (an actual school) just prepares ya for society, and dealing with people. And yes, for better or worse.

And yeah, just too many wackaloons do the homeschooling thing, and public schools are bad enough, but please. Let's at least pretend we really care as a society about education. Anywayyyyy.~ ♫♫♪

I don't even understand what this means. And who are all those people. Rocky Anderson? nt Honeycombe8 Aug 2012 #8
