Can TIME Predict Your Politics?

I've taken a bunch of these tests over the years. Some seem reasonably accurate others not so much.

Jonathan Haidt and Chris Wilson at Time.com claim that "your preferences in dogs, Internet browsers, and 10 other items predict your partisan leanings." So a left-leaning mag which is philosophically united with the crowd that insists that we must be equal opportunity friskers of 4 year-old children and 80 year-old grandmothers at airports because "we shouldn't profile" has no trouble profiling people as conservative or liberal based on the answers to 12 inane questions.

Conservative Rush Limbaugh — cat lover, rebellious teen, and Mac user — will certainly be amused at the questions in the survey, the authors' breezy contentions about what their answers supposedly mean, and the other assertions they make.

The one i found funny was that watching documentaries was supposedly a liberal quality. Maybe if the documentaries produced were not 10-1 for liberal causes conservatives would enjoy watching them more. Take a scroll through the documentaries on netflix and i often wonder whether or not im getting the russian version of netflix, its all about rah rah big government and corporations are evil.

I got duped into watching one last night called "Revolution" which started out claiming to be about sharks and the over killing of sharks from shit like shark fin soup, so im on board at first, thinking its going to show lots of shark footage and facts, and i think it is wrong to kill an animal simply for its fins, if you arent going to eat the rest. It starts off all about sharks and shark fin soup, then all of a sudden, this documentary takes a hard LEFT turn into how globull warming is heating the oceans, and how corporations and the tar sands in alberta are all responsible for it.

It then goes on to show a bunch of fucking rich 10-15 year old kids from first world countries, protesting about globull warming, and how we need to spread the wealth to third world countries because we steal their resources, and how evil corporations are, i was literally almost sick to my stomach by the end of it, i cant believe the way the left is brazenly exploiting oblivious children in order to try to garner support for communism. There is literally a "youth UN" and the speech which is supposed to be so inspiring is by some young girl from canada who literally uses the old "Hope and change" line from Obama, while inspirational music blares in the background, and loud applause is heard from other canadian youth who are apparently too uninformed to notice the obvious rip off from an obama speech.

Here is a link from IMBD documentary, which is completely different than the way it described the fucking thing on my video on demand. It was worse than watching a michael moore documentary.

This is the kind of propaganda the left is pushing there is no doubt in my mind that we are screwed within a generation if not quicker.
