Null on everyone, except Skittlez... sorta. 

Skittlez is acting scummy with that blatant outing of Oromagi, but it's not enough for me to give a solid read on him. He's just on my "suspicious" list.

That is a really stupid constitutional outlook. The constitution was DELIBERATELY made to be vague enough to be successful in the long-term... to be able to adapt to all situations. The founding fathers did not attempt to list exhaustively what could or could not be done, they only gave a list of essential rights to be protected. Among which was the rights to life, which supersedes all others. And as I've said before, if me not wearing a mask violates another person's right to life, my right to "wear what I want" goes away in response. 

In Jacobson v. Massachusetts (1905), the Supreme Court considered a challenge to a state law requiring everyone to be vaccinated against smallpox. Henning Jacobson refused vaccination and was convicted. The court upheld the law and Jacobson’s conviction.
“The Constitution,” Justice John Marshall Harlan wrote for a 7-2 majority, “does not import an absolute right in each person to be, at all times and in all circumstances, wholly freed from restraint.” Instead, “a community has the right to protect itself against an epidemic.” Its members “may at times, under the pressure of great dangers, be subjected to such restraint, to be enforced by reasonable regulations, as the safety of the general public may demand.”

My paper barely scratches the surface. I highly recommend you read this book by geologist  Gregory Wrightstone.

"He is a Senior Fellow at the Cornwall Alliance and is an Advisory Board member of the Heartland Institute."

He knows his stuff, and is able to go into depth about some climate mechanics I wasn't able to for the sake of time.

Here is a handy-dandy guide that says you may simply be modern liberal. According to this, I'm a constitutionalist.

  • Questioning the authority makes the authority strengthen
This is not a libertarian view, so that may be what is making you appear leftist. Questioning authority is what libertarianism is all about fundamentally.

  • Public healthcare should be of little cost
If you said "people who can pay should NOT be given higher standards of healthcare" that is a left-slanted view.

  • Legalize all Abortion in the first 2 trimesters, as well all cases of abortion regarding rape, etc
This is liberal/libertarian shared view depending on who you ask, but I'm guessing with this they put you closer to the liberal side. 

The rest are libertarian. I think those 3 are what altered your results. You may need to relabel yourself as sorta center-libertarian

is a political philosophy that combines conservatism and libertarianism, representing the libertarian wing of conservatism and vice versa

It's really pretty simple. I'm a libertarian with conservative leanings, and I'm a conservative with libertarian leanings.

That is interesting. It could be that what you think  you are, you're really not. That said, I do know that although Ben has some views that are a bit libertarian, but he is a self-proclaimed "constitutional conservative."

Well, I know for a fact that Supa and Bear have seen anime that I haven't, although I don't know what their total numbers look like...

As for my observations, nothing groundbreaking yet, but looking at Lunatic's past games it's pretty safe to say he chooses roles based on fairly prominent traits, and considering my character, that lines up. 

As for theme split, no way to say for sure, but knowing lunatic it will be a pain to guess correctly. 

I've actually talked with Lunatic about anime some, though. I know he's seen Dragonball Z, (I think) My Hero Academia, Attack on Titan, and an anime called Berserk I've never seen.

I call myself a conservative libertarian, so I'd say it's a fairly accurate test, leaning slightly left.

As for your peer review comment, I will again appeal to my personal ignorance, I simply am not educated or informed enough to say that the peer review process is not proficient in weeding out bad studies in this area. 

From my understanding, peer review does not get rid of faulty studies, it simply subjects them to scrutiny. And whether a study is good or bad will depend solely on who you ask. As much as researchers try to be objective in their findings, the areas of study that involve highly unknown variables allow for slight biases and errors to manipulate results more easily one way or the other. In response, a good researcher will meticulously research and concede the shortcomings of their study within the study itself, probably acknowledging somewhere to take the results with a grain of salt. Whereas, on the flip side, areas with greater knowledge show more consensus and higher certainty. Most climate papers, for example, show pretty high certainty in their results (not that they should, climate models have a long ways to go before they become anywhere near the accuracy needed to make accurate, long-term predictions).

I think the area we are speaking of would fall in the former category. Just my 2 cents, though

Notice I said "detailed or broad" enough to be "useful." They may be mostly accurate, but they're probably not useful for determining nationwide crime rates. The US is INSANELY diverse.

Again, my peer review comment pertains to studies, not data records.

Again, I'm not sure those records are detailed or broad enough to be useful. As for peer review... In areas as speculative as these, a "good study" is one that explicitly mentions its shortcomings and tells you to take their results with a fat pinch of salt.

I still think it's important to note that the incessant complaints about illegals committing crime on mass are wrong
I think the big difference between us here is that by entering illegally, I consider illegals as having already committed a crime en masse. Now, I know what you meant, but I do not consider that crime any less criminal. 

I think it is also worth noting that the criminal activity rates among illegals is extremely difficult to measure, and based on a pretty big series of ever-changing assumptions and variables. The literature is really too speculative to be useful in deciding whether or not illegals commit more crimes than their legal counterparts or not. 

That said, I think the southern border is a useful loophole for cartels and human trafficking operations... there is solid evidence for that fact. It probably does not encompass the majority of the illegal populations, however. So in that sense, both sides are correct.

My 1000th post
All of my hard work and dedication has paid off. Getting to 1000 posts has been a dream of mine for many years, and I would like to thank those who have helped me along the way. First and foremost I would like to thank god for giving me this opportunity. Next I would like to thank my parents. I want to thank my friend Peter Griffin for being really skinny and always being there for me. I would also like to thank my pet tadpole for surviving against all odds for over a week. Next I would like to thank the squirrel that lives in my backyard for climbing trees because that gives me inspiration that I need to get through the day. This is a special moment in my life and I would like to thank any of my unmentioned friends and family that have helped me along the way. This moment will be a moment that I will never forget. I just remembered a few other people I would like to thank; Abraham Lincoln, the fish I caught in the third grade, my light in my room because I wouldn’t be able to see the keyboard without it, the internet for letting me go on bodybuilding forums, my house because without it I would be homeless, and last but not least I would like to thank all the people out there that actually took time out of their day to read this. I cannot stress how much of a big deal to me this is. I have been trying to achieve 1000 posts for years, but that has not been possible until this amazing day. Hopefully my good luck will continue, but this is undoubtedly a rare occasion. If you asked me how I did this, I would say, you can achieve anything you set your mind on. To all the kids out there reading this, I would like to tell them to follow their dreams. And lastly, to everyone legitimately taking this post seriously, thank you the most for your brilliant obliviosity.
