I am 36% cynical! I thought I was 100% cynical. :O
This is what the link said :
Generally you give people the benefit of the doubt.
But there are exceptions.
You buy into many of the things that mainstream society believes, but you're not anybody's fool.
Oh, the link says I am VERY sceptical :|
It said:
Your personal motto is: "Prove it."
While some ideas, like life after death, may seem nice...
You aren't going to believe them simply because it feels good.
You let science and facts be your guide... Even if it means you don't share the beliefs of those around you.
=) It's a nice link. Go take some quizes. It's fun.

ELECTIONS!!!!!
Election season is on !! I think it is pointless to go to the polling booth and cast our votes as every candidate is worse than the other ..
I don't even want to talk about JDS .. Deve Gowda sucks !! So does his son !! SM Krishna (congress) is OK, I guess .. But I doubt he'd be given a second chance to come back what with Kharge trying desperately to become the CM !!
And as for BJP .. I can't even name a few leaders who have done anything at all to develop K'taka or the country as a whole
If, by development, we mean having about a dozen(or probably more) millionaires in our country; sorry, but, this is not what I mean by development. There's a lot of social disparity in our country. The rich become richer; the poor poorer.
By development, I mean, equal sex ratio, women empowerment, good education, an end to child marriages, child labour, female foeticide, and all those things which our "honest" politicians promise to do .. but as usual , never keep up to their word (Ha! Note the inverted commas. there's a bit of sarcasm there.)
Even though I said it's pointless to vote, I think we ( 18 years and above, of course) must all go and vote for the best among the worst !! I can't believe our country has come to this stage.It's like choosing either the shark's mouth or the deep blue sea! .. we, after all, are the biggest democracy in the world !! WOW! That is something to be proud of .. but with the present political scenario in our country, this claim seems quite meaningless.. what with a meagre 44% voter turnout! I think we should all exercise out duty towards the state and in turn the country by voting ..
Boy, how I wish I was 18 !! Sigh, I will have to wait for another year to vote (people might think that I slept through all my Civics classes because a govt is formed not for a year but for 5 years).
Oh, you earthlings, nothing is confirmed yet .. who knows .. maybe the government might fall out in a few months' time. I wouldn't be surprised if it did .. with all these if-you-give-me-money,-I'll-lick-your-shoes politicians trying desperately to gain power and become CMs to bring about "changes" in the states.
Now I wonder what their definition of change is ..
maybe a change in the amount of money(tch..tch.. money is too nice a word .. maybe it should be read as BRIBES!) they accept from poor citizens .. !! Or maybe a "hike" in the public money that they pocket!
cant there be candidates who inspire graciousness, chivalry and decorum?
Whatever their definition maybe, the bottom line of this unsuccessful rant is
go ahead, pick the lesser of the multiple evils :
Absistence is plain laziness .. apathy is bad too ! JUST GO AHEAD AND CAST YOUR VOTE! We don't want another disastrous coalition govt!
