It's about Philip K. Dick, probably about manifestations of paranoia in his work. I postponed it because of all 4 reasons really, except for bad luck hehe. I prepared badly by ordering books to late, I had a bad planning in that wasn't doing papers when I could have done them before, instead of during thesis-time. And I was too lazy to actually have a go at it in the short time i had left, so I just postponed to August all at once.
So now I'm chilling with two papers left to write and an exam. Paper 1 is an interview I have yet to make up and write, paper 2 a major summary of an entire year's classes of a course (which i attended twice, could be a problem), and the exam is criticizing a book written by one of the uni's main philosophers. That shouldn't be hard. Knowing me I'll be doing stuff one day in advance even with that time. I suck, casually.

Heh i recognize those symptoms, last year i suddenly realised somewhere in may that i hadn't put anything on paper for my thesis, that my measurements weren't finished yet, that i still had 7 or 8 (a lot in any case) exams to do, of which i had to schedule some myself, best before exams in june.
So except for the chillin' part, i know how you feel.
And my dutch friends: take the second part of the test, when it's about money the outcome could be surprising in your case.

This test was quite difficult, because many questions were very Belgium-specific, or just because I didn't understand them, wich probably has something to do with the differences between Flemish and Dutch (and I don't kmow those for these things).
Anyway:
CD&V
VLD
Vlaams Blok (again high )
N-VA
Groen
Spirit
SP.A
Vivant

Just to re-assure you: some questions are really mindblowing to me as well. Like there was this question (dunno which one) on which i confidentially answered NO. Then i heard the explanation of the 'YES' part on tv, which made me regret my choice, because if put that way, it would only be beneficial for belgian economy.
If you don't understand why you get such a high score on Vlaams Blok, i think you can see the answers of the parties on the site so you can compare. But of course, that's a lot of work

Well I understand how I get so high on Vlaams Blok, but I don't like it.
Whenever I hear any of their ideas I find them far too radical and racist, but such things are often softened in tests like this one.

Yeah you only get the black-or-white answer. Maybe you vote the same on a question as Vlaams Blok, but for a whole other reason. That's why i'm not sure if i'll take this test as a good pointer of how to vote.

K bitches, last part of the test is up! "Values" this time.
1)SP.A
2)VLD
3)Spirit
4)Groen!
5)CD&V
6)Vivant
7)NV-A
8)Vlaams Blok
Two separatists way at the back, sounds like me. I think this one shouldn't have too many typically Flemish/Belgian questions Arathorn..maybe the questions on the power-comparisons between Flanders and belgium will be, but blah. Most of us here don't even get it, we got one of the most complicated state systems in the world here.

Right... second one:
1) Groen!
2) VLD
3) Spirit
4) Vivant
5) N-VA
6) SP.A
7) CD&V
8) Vlaams Blok
Not much differences with the last one
Third:
(btw, you got two 'volksliederen'? )
And what kind of questions are these:
Homosexuals can donate blood.....
1) Vivant
2) SP.A
3) Groen!
4) N-VA
5) Spirit
6) CD&V
7) VLD
8) Vlaams Blok
Think I'd vote Groen! or Vivant, not sure which one though, need to read their standpunten first. The thought of being a 'Green gaylord' is thrilling

Hum, at least i got our fascist friends way down.
And DA: our official national anthem is of course the belgian one, but since we live in a country that is more or less divided in half (vlaanderen-wallonie) some people feel we should just become (more) independant. And we have our own flag, song, ... blabla. I feel since our country is already that small, it's stupid to become even smaller, but that's just my opinion.

Why don't leave those French speaking fools in the mud and merge the Netherlands-Flanders? Then we can also join the national football leagues, both need more good football clubs.
