Social Liberal (66% permissive)
and an...
Economic Liberal (28% permissive)

You are best described as a:

You exhibit a very well-developed sense of Right and Wrong and believe in economic fairness.

As a rough-cut, that sounds about right. I suspect it would throw things

I like GMO foods designed to make things better, not GMO foods designed to not reproduce so that their seed-owners make more profit. Also, I am a wee bit concerned about contagion, so I'd like a bit more oversight on what we plant and why we engineer things the way we do. That said, I'm happy to eat 'em. Yum.

This is always a "can't win for losing" argument.

If it can't breed - it can't spread! (but you have to charge the farmers an annual fee)

If it can breed - Farmers get free seed (but you could destroy the ecosystem! :-p

Honestly, since they are doing MASSIVE farming of GM crops in Africa and there hasn't been a lot of eco-collapse

I think the argument for "sterilise" is overstated.

Just give the farmers the seeds. (well sell them, we are Capitalists. :-D

I'll wager I would have been less of a Filthy Red Socialist if there were questions about nuclear power, the military GMO foods and animal testing.

Still a Filthy Red Socialist of course, just less so.

Don’t trust the death penalty though; or rather I don’t trust the government with the death penalty.

nuclear power (I support it)

I like to joke that my politics are basically pro-death

Psnort - you should be Pro-Coal - it releases 10,000 tons of radioactive material in the atmosphere every year - much more deadly than any nuclear power plant... (even the Russian ones)... :-P

I think I came out more centrist that expected. There were a few questions like 'Parents should uphold the standards of the community' which could be interpeted as conservative, but in my mind thought 'well, what are the standards of the community? if they are treat people well, and fairly and equally, then yeah...' so I ended up saying 'agree' when the technical thing may have been to say 'disagree'
