I hate these things because the questions remind me of the joke from elementary school: "Does your mom know you're gay?"

There is no good answer, and what's worse--you know exactly what extremist position they're trying to pigeon-hole you into.

"I'll try and ask her next time she blows me" might be an effective response. And if you want to start a fight, you might put it "...next time your mom blows me."

Okeydokey, here's where I land this month, anyway.

Economic Left/Right +4.75
Libertarian/Authoritarian -1.13

Which may be why radar keeps telling me I'm not a good Libertarian -- though he does not get around to telling me I'm a good conservative. Not that I'd expect such a narcissist to ever do that.

You're from the south aren't you?

That sounds like racial sterotyping to me.

You think that is pervasive or regionally a greater problem in the South? If you do that is a sterotyped view without a lot of basis in fact.

If I was in elementary school and asked a kid if his mom knew he was gay and he responded with "I'll try and ask her next time she blows me" I would immediately jump on the incest part of it.

And yes, it is a cultural stereotype to make the incest-> south or incest -> redneck reference to be more exact that has very little if any truth to it.

Please. The incest is a West Virginia thing.

Shawnee123 04-11-2009 12:01 PM

West Virginia: almost heaven. I won't argue that.

I've said that in the states we make fun of the state immediately south of us. For Ohioans, that's Kentucky and West Virginia. You have WV and more options. :)

Just to throw some wood on the fire.
States that allow cousins to marry.

Shawnee123 04-12-2009 09:14 PM

:lol: How sad are you if you can only get your first cousin? :shudders:

I just retook it and moved the dot a little up and right, but not by much.
