MoveOn.org

I watched a so-called debate between a MoveOn Mouthpiece and a soldier who has served in the War Zone. It was pretty sad really. Mouthpiece was siting 'facts' that were no more than unsubstantiated garbage from an "anonymous source' that was printed in a well known "reputable' news paper (The Washington Post).....if there is such a thing anymore. Said garbage claimed that sectarian assassinations were only being counted if someone was shot in the back of the head instead of the face.

Speaking as someone who has been there and seen such a thing it can be hard to tell at times and no one EVER asked me if a victim had been shot from the front or the back. They asked me for number of dead...plain and simple.

Setting that idiocy aside, the Mouthpiece then tried to deflect scrutiny from his 'questionable' sources by saying "Well, look at the record of deception....can we trust that the General is telling the truth?"

Maybe not but I'll take the word of a Soldier who's been there over someone who wants to say " He's lying....um, don't look at our lies....look at us call him a liar".

I'd take the time to explain more about how pathetic these people are but.....I'd rather spend it keeping in touch with friends who are over there now trying to make it a better place rather than trying to make all of the sacrifices...all of the deaths, meaningless.

MoveOn son.....MoveOn.

Your Score: House Stark


45% Dominant, 22% Extroverted, 63% Trustworthy



Responsible. Respectable. Dour. That’s not shit coming out of your ass--it’s honor. You are clearly of House Stark.

You are a submissive personality, meaning that you are more than willing to relinquish control to someone more qualified; you will unflinchingly accept any responsibility that is thrust upon you, including servitude. Unfortunately for you, your unending patience and accommodating nature often make people look to you for a leader. In essence, you are the perfect leader: someone who has no desire to lead, yet is substantially well-qualified to do it.

You are also introverted, which means that people sometimes have difficulty understanding your thought process. Your dependable nature makes you predictable, but you’ve probably got all sorts of emotional dysfunctions when it comes to more intimate relationships. There are very few people whom you trust unwaveringly, and you’re not the type to confide in other people. So cold, so aloof--so Stark.

Finally, you are trustworthy--the very definition of the word. All secrets are safe with you. All of your vows are unbreakable. True to your name, you world is a stark place; there is black, and there is white. Your rigidity tends to undercut your overall value as a friend and ally. Honesty such as yours is hard to come by, which is easy to understand when you consider how easily manipulated you are by less decent individuals. Essentially, you’re the nice guy, and you’ll always finish last.

Representative characters include: Eddard Stark, Jon Snow, and Sansa Stark

Similar Houses: Frey, Lannister and Tully

Opposite House: Baratheon

Your Score: 5 - the Observer


Thanks for taking the test !



you chose BZ - your Enneagram type is FIVE (aka "The Thinker").


"I need to understand the world"



Observers have a need for knowledge and are introverted, curious, analytical, and insightful.


How to Get Along with Me



  • Be independent, not clingy.
  • Speak in a straightforward and brief manner.
  • I need time alone to process my feelings and thoughts.
  • Remember that If I seem aloof, distant, or arrogant, it may be that I am feeling uncomfortable.
  • Make me feel welcome, but not too intensely, or I might doubt your sincerity.
  • If I become irritated when I have to repeat things, it may be because it was such an effort to get my thoughts out in the first place.
  • don't come on like a bulldozer.
  • Help me to avoid my pet peeves: big parties, other people's loud music, overdone emotions, and intrusions on my privacy.

What I Like About Being a FIVE



  • standing back and viewing life objectively
  • coming to a thorough understanding; perceiving causes and effects
  • my sense of integrity: doing what I think is right and not being influenced by social pressure
  • not being caught up in material possessions and status
  • being calm in a crisis

What's Hard About Being a FIVE



  • being slow to put my knowledge and insights out in the world
  • feeling bad when I act defensive or like a know-it-all
  • being pressured to be with people when I don't want to be
  • watching others with better social skills, but less intelligence or technical skill, do better professionally

FIVEs as Children Often



  • spend a lot of time alone reading, making collections, and so on
  • have a few special friends rather than many
  • are very bright and curious and do well in school
  • have independent minds and often question their parents and teachers
  • watch events from a detached point of view, gathering information
  • assume a poker face in order not to look afraid
  • are sensitive; avoid interpersonal conflict
  • feel intruded upon and controlled and/or ignored and neglected

FIVEs as Parents



  • are often kind, perceptive, and devoted
  • are sometimes authoritarian and demanding
  • may expect more intellectual achievement than is developmentally appropriate
  • may be intolerant of their children expressing strong emotions

    Your Score: Noble Debauchee


    13 Social Standing, 23 Malevolence, 4 Self-Mastery



    An indulgent upbringing and an innately depraved character have conspired to produce in you a perfect monster of debauchery. Having sated to tedium your merely lascivious drives at an unutterably tender age, you now require the excitements of actual sadism to consummate your criminal passions. The public exposure of such unnatural vices as you regularly indulge would raise a mob against you. Happily, more wholesome representatives of your noble lineage have nearly completed arrangements for your confinement to a madhouse.

    I was in Ithaca last night helping a friend celebrate his birthday and a bunch of us went into a little coffee house. The place kinda of reminded me of a place I used to know in Syracuse called Zopies. I used to love that place.

    Anyway, one of us orders a black coffee. The young lady (a Cornell College student mind you) behind the counter has a blank look on her face and says;

    " a what?"

    " A black coffee," is the reply.

    Now her reply pretty much took away my faith that humanity is smart enough to survive much more than the next decade or so.

    "I .. um....I don't know what that is....I just started here."

    How in the Blue Hell does one get to work in a coffee shop if one doesn't know what coffee is?

    "Its coffee.....with no cream and no sugar."

    "Oh...I thought it was going to be something like coffee with no water."

    Yikes.
