thats the danger with politics though, you never really know what the person you might vote for is like until they get into office, politicians are such two faced and all

Gonna have to follow his moves until 2008. If he decides to run, it will be interesting to see what sort of platform he will be running on, and if he will say much about corruption. I'm just pleased by the fact that he seems to have earned the job because of his skills, and not because he is the nephew of the neighbour of the cousin of an influential man.

Hmm, in 2023, I will be 37 years old. Sounds about right.
And since we do seem to have the same kind of political thinking (according to anon's quiz), we should have no trouble getting along.

What were your answers though? I'd like to see where we differed.

And how scary is it that the sole existing politician who got votes is the almost unknown Levon Mgrditchian?

I think I shouldn't have put in the last two options. Emil?

I just took it again and i got a different answer this could have been caused by the fact that i didnt see the negative in the second sentence last time i took it

the new one i got is this


Military service should be voluntary. (No draft) --NO

Government should not control radio, TV, the press or the Internet.---YES

Repeal regulations on sex for consenting adults.---YES

Drug laws do more harm than good. Repeal them.---NO

People should be free to come and go across borders; to live and work where they choose.----NO


Economic Issues

Businesses and farms should operate without govt. subsidies.---NO

People are better off with free trade than with tariffs.---MAYBE

Minimum wage laws cause unemployment. Repeal them.---NO

End taxes. Pay for services with user fees.---NO

All foreign aid should be privately funded---NO

what about you?

[xBaron Dants]

Pretty much the same answers except I voted no on free trade instead of maybe. Also, I think I had voted "maybe" on the draft, because I just redid the quiz, and also fell into authoritarian.

we will rule with an iron fist (i guess this should be with iron fists but it doesnt sound as good)

hahaha. I don't like the sound of that. I think the country would be a loooot more open than it is now.

I believe the reason why we got dubbed "authoritarians" is that the test does not take the condition of different countries in consideration. Sure, we would love to have a voluntary draft, but no sane man can take that risk in Armenia today.
