Ok, last night I set up an NS Centrist Party, and I was wondering how many people on NS actually are moderate. I know that there's quite a few of you with... "severe" views on things. Do you consider yourself to be extreme, mellow, weak etc.? Share your views here with the group.

I'll freely admit to being an extremist. Only Evil, which wins all wars through attrition, can prevail through compromise.
Look at the Bible, Jesus was this happy go lucky pacifist guy who didn't even try to escape the Romans nailing him to tree, and even he don't take no shit when it came to his ideals.

By who's standards? I don't think to myself, wow I'm extreme, I think this is what I think needs to happen. If other people see it as extreme it is just as easy for me to see them as extreme.

Well, according to today's UN report, I am ranked 4350th most extreme in NationStates. That puts me in the top 4%. Make of it what you will.

I'm very moderate and reasonable. I believe in good mainstream economic policies, like fair trade, living wage, and some redistribution of wealth through taxation and social welfare. I also have a moderate foreign policy viewpoint. It consists of using military force and agressive diplomacy to defend ourselves, our allies, and our interests abroad.

I'm extreme in the eyes of many people, but not my own. Within my realm of being, I try to be moderate and reasonable. If someone else sees my moderate as extreme, screw them. :mp5: :)

I jump off helicopters with a snowboard, and slide down, while a landslide threathens to overwelm me. Then a bolt of lightning hits me, and I fly through the air. When I get down, I scream at the top of my lungs:

Woah! X-TREEME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

All you've got to do to get on the X-Games is slip a hot pocket to an entry judge and invent an assinine new sport like "Riding Wheelchairs down the stairs."
Boom, fame, power, wealth, and total anoynmity because no one gives a flying fuck about the X-Games other then complete tools who've spent their entire lives eating lead paint and melting their brains with MTV while they damage their hips with those damn hulha hoops!

Yes, anarchism is generally considered extremist.

I do not class myself as extreme, in fact like a good whisky I have mellowed with age, (now thirty-esque)

I am still as Economically Left wing as they come (I make Lenin look like a moderate) However I a not into all that tree hugging libertarian BS, and I am a statist, pro nuclear (weapon and power) and also very very very anti religion, I would normally just say atheist but don't want to offend the moderate atheists by association, I am Anti Religious, I am also a very overt Fur.

I'm not extreme, in as much as 'extreme' would imply opinions and such - I'm generally moderate in that respect.

However, I would definitely consider myself 'X-TREME!!!' in as much as I am most definitely a complete adrenaline junkie lol.

Bungie jumping, zorbing, skiing, white water rafting, the list goes on. Adrenaline - its so good its better than drugs. I'd say its better than sex but I have nothing with which to make the comparison :)

How extreme I am tends to depend on the category. In politics, I tend think I'm in the middle leaning a little onto the liberal side.
For sports I'm quite extreme - I'm into snowboard, roller blading, kayaking, rock climbing, and I'd love to try sky diving and bungie jumping some day. It's as they say - if it can't kill you it isn't a sport =P I also love offroading.
For partying or other social events I'll go either way, depending on if alcohol is involved. If it is, don't expect me to be the life of the party as I've been told drunk me appears more sober than sober me. If it isn't, I'm generally the wildest person there and sooner or later I'll probably do something like jump off the roof into the pool or something crazy.

communist.

extreme? yes.


but then my particular brand of communism it totally extreme (communitarian, regressionist, anarcho-communism) and would take probably centuries to impliment, so my day-to-day politics are far more moderate (but still left of course :D)

If I was to be rated on an x-treme scale from 1-10, 10 being the most x-treme and 1 being the least x-treme I'd be a 9.5 X-TREME!!!

Hehe - if I were to rate myself on a scale of one to ten, one being not so X-treme and ten being extremely X-treme, I'd be totally X-treme dude!

I love how the poll says "moderate and reasonable."

So I'm an unreasonable anarchist zealot. Or something.

Same here.

But, as Preebs has pointed out, there's no "extreme and reasonable" option in the poll... So I'll have to abstain. ;)

Although I don't consider my beliefs to be extreme the majority of people do - but only because they've been brainwashed by the capitalists.
