Welcome to Our Hoosier Board!

Most of the posters here have been around for nearly a decade now. You'll find their knowledge and insight to be second to none. We have a really strong community and value everyone's opinions.

Feel free to jump into any thread and voice your opinion with conviction. We love heated debates and even some fanbase ribbing from time to time. We pride ourselves on the lack of moderation needed to make this board successful.

Please remember that we have been around many years and have an astute ability to tell the difference between an immature, childish, trash-talking troll and a passionate fan voicing his or her opinion. It is at the discretion of Jazen and myself whether any moderating actions should be taken at any given time. It's a very, very rare thing. In other words, no worries....you'll be fine!

Cheers,
sirbrianwilson

"Liberal, shmiberal. That should be a new word. Shmiberal: one who is assumed liberal, just because he's a professional whiner in the newspaper. If you'll read the subtext for many of those old strips, you'll find the heart of an old-fashioned Libertarian. And I'd be a Libertarian, if they weren't all a bunch of tax-dodging professional whiners." - Berkeley Breathed

Man, that's about as close to the center as you can get.

A lot of the questions are a little too black and white, so it makes answering them somewhat difficult. I consider myself to be a little right of center by most measures, but have probably slipped a little to the left the last few years.

My biggest problem with this (and other quizzes) is the inclusion of social/moral stances with political orientation. I really have no clue how foreign policy and a woman's right to choose hold anything in common. Or how the death penalty relates to how much the wealthiest Americans are taxed...

Does this make me the most conservative poster on the political board?

And I am not totally surprised.
I guess my disciplinarian father and attending
a parochial school has had an impact on me!

So what this is telling me is that we're mostly a bunch of grumpy old dudes who argue with each other despite agreeing on most things.
