Not all that impressed with it, given that every time they can't figure out the party position (great research guys) they count it as something you disagree on. So, on mine, for example, it puts me closer to the Democrats and even the Libertarians than the Socialists, which isn't very accurate.

It is, but a few minor parties that enjoy more popularity than all of the other really minor parties exist.

Interesting, the things we disagree on. Couple of questions:
1. Why don't you support voluntary euthanasia for the terminally ill?
2. Ban the manufacture of guns? Gun buy-backs? Are you trying to strengthen the government?

1. It's mostly the assisted part, and mostly because I've got a pacifist streak a mile long. I don't want people's alignment towards one another to be "under certain circumstances I'd be totally in favor of your death, and would gladly even kill you myself," it's really important for me that people affirm the existence of other humans. It's not like I judge people who commit suicide after the fact, but if somebody comes up to me to tell me they're considering it beforehand, I only ever say that they shouldn't and I want them to live. I don't ever say, "yeah, you're right, kill yourself." As an anarchist, I'm not in favor of coercing people to prevent them from assisting in suicide, so it's more so my advice on the subject.
2. Yeah, that's just a habit from taking these tests so often. Everything's always "pretending you wanted a state," this, and "pretending you wanted corporations," that. I guess I kind of forgot I could say anything. Within statism, I'm constantly pushing for more government transparency and democracy, so that was one of the various things I've tried to convince people of in favor of an outright ban or streets flooded with guns. Remember that I'm coming at this from a different perspective (anarcho-pacifism)- I'm not trying to make the people more coercive, I'm trying to make the state less coercive. In real life I don't want a ban, but I'd totally advocate boycotts.

1. I can understand that. I mean, I've had plenty of suicidal people in my life, even a couple I have literally talked out of it on the spot. Even though I, myself, have been suicidal at various points. But I'm talking about people who are terminally ill. Not teenagers with depression. They need counseling and medical treatment. If you're 80, have cancer, and don't want to wait it out in a prison-like room in an uncomfortable hospital bed? Doctors should be able to help you die as peacefully as possible. Hell, they should give you pure heroin beforehand, just for the hell of it. Here ya go, good shit huh? Yup. Good night.
2. Didn't know you were an anarcho-pacifist. I'm obviously not. I want the streets flooded with guns. I want everyone to be able to defend their homes and themselves from oppressors, intruders, and the government. We can't create anarchy without violence.

Yeah, time was I was one of Nationstates' more prominent advocates of anarcho-pacifism, but I've left that life behind, and am now the Mysterious Stranger...
