Political Compass

[denny]

Spotted in a comment in jinxremoving's journal, I found this test really interesting: http://www.politicalcompass.org/

I was somewhat surprised to find that I landed in roughly the same area of the graph as the Dalai Lama. Although perhaps this explains why those are the only guys who hassle me in the street that I can't seem to help but end up talking with (the ones who give away his (and related) books, I'm talking about).

really, you get hassled by buddhists?! all i've ever come across in the street is hare krishnas, who give out lots of books, but which aren't to do with the dalai lama. (and which read reasonably okay until you get to the bits that say things would be a lot better if only women weren't empowered ...)

anyway, sounds like you're in good company.

Maybe I should read those books they keep giving me, then I'd know who they actually are :) I suspect you're right and they're Hare Krishnas. I'm probably mixed up with the stuff I was reading about the Peace Pagoda here in MK a while back, which is definitely Buddhist. Too much clutter in my head, I need some kind of filing system...
