Something useful to waste good boredom with…

… the Political Compass.

http://www.politicalcompass.org/

I’m
Economic Left/Right: -6.00
Social Libertarian/Authoritarian: -5.08
Which means that i’m a goodie lefto who is only a few steps away from being an anarchist. For some reason, my score is about the same as the Dalai Lama’s which annoys me like hell.

If i ever meet him, i’ll kick him all the way to the upper right, far beyond GWB and Silvo B.

Double Hmm :rolleyes:

I went through in about 2 mins and found I’m:

Economic Left/Right: -6.12
Social Libertarian/Authoritarian: -6.67

Down there with Nelson Mandela and the Dali Lama.

Now I reckon Nelson is as close to living “saint” (foilbles and all) as we’re gonna get, but I remember the Tory students wearing “Hang Mandela” t-shirts.

The greatest irony was when, on his state visit to Britain soon after becoming President, Mandela was invited to stay with the Queen at Buckingham Palace. He requested a private meeting there with one of his greatest tormenters and one of the strongest supporters of the apartheid regime, Margaret Thatcher! He refused to say what he said to her at that meeting!;)

But it was worth seeing her face when the then speaker of Parliament, Betty Bothroyd, said at the joint Commons & Lords reception for Mandela, that he embodied the human spirit at its best in his refusal to be beaten by 27 years of confinement and still had the generosity of spirit to forgive those who thought him less of a man because of who he was rather than what he thought or believed in.

I don’t hold truck with organised religion, so the Dala Lamai I can take or leave! :p

Best regards
Tony
