the Voigt-Kamph test
At lord_monster's request:
01. Give your personal viewpoint on the 'War on terror'
*********
02. Death is inevitable. You are going to die. How do you feel about that?
To quote Woody Allen:
"I don't want to achieve immortality through my work... I want to achieve it through not dying."
03. In one word, describe your political stance.
Disenfranchised
04. Give a percentage on how much you care about others over yourself.
meh, its probably about a fifty-fifty split
05. If primary school teachers went on strike over low wages, what would your opinion be?
Shock that all the unions managed to put aside their political differences and actually organise something
06. Whilst walking down the street you spot a £10. You pick it up and pocket it. Why?
Because I've been doing Wilson's "visualise a Quarter" excercises, except with £10 notes, so it exists because I WANTED IT TO :-D
07. Given the normal set of social friend-group dynamics, when with said group do you act as:
A) A leader
B) A participant
C) An observer
D) Something else (Explain)
Somewhere between B and C , depending on mood, number of people and amount of alcohol consumed
08. When interacting with others, what is your motivation?
Generally non selfish, unless there is the potential for either sex, drugs or rock 'n roll
09. In three words, describe your sense of humour.
Twisted
Obtuse
Bitchy
10. I chose not to choose life. I chose something else. What did you choose?
Something funny, hopefully
11. There are three words in the English language that begin with the letters 'dw'. Why does knowing more pointless trivia than the person next to you feel good?
It massages my superiority complex and may actually prove useful at some date
12. You have been incarcerated for a serious crime that you did not commit. What is your primary emotion?
Disgust and anger at the state of the Legal system in this country
13. In the same vein, you have been incarcerated for a serious crime you DID commit. What emotion now?
Regret, I should probably have had a better solicitor
14. Think for a moment on your basic ideas about the French and American peoples. Are you xenophobic?
no, 'cos to be Xenophobic, it would have to be directed against different racial groups (although to be truly Xenophobic it would have to be directed against non-humans)...
The fact that I quite like the French, yet have found most of the Americans I have met to be boorish and highly offensive is neither here nor there...
15. Is this a question.
16. What makes you happier, a square or a circle?
Circles
17. How would you define 'Free Will'?
The ability to fuck up on your own, without any outside assistance
18. What would you consider your four basic human rights?
the right to exist
freedom of expression
Access to clean drinking water/cheap nutritious food/shelter etc
Access to education
19. If there was one person, present day or in history, that the world could have done without, who would it be? And what would you imagine the consequences would be?
There are many people, although I suspect, given the implicit, embedded nature of the power system on this rock, that NOTHING would really be that different
20. Everyone has a breaking point. You just killed someone, what would motivate you to do so?
Until I hit "that" point, I wouldn't like to guess
Thus ends the Voigt-Kamph test. You are probably not a Replicant.
