After 8 years of living in Eugene, I think "commie anarchist" down there is spelled S H E E P. 99% of those dorks don't even know what they're talking about.
I, OTOH, am a TRUE commie anarchist. Dunno about the gay-o-meter, though. :mrgreen:

Just checked out the Gay-o-meter and I am happy to report I am 53% gay (well-adjusted hetero babe...so it said) and of course a well-adjusted commie anarchist due to my Canadian/French/Spanish/Welsh/Jewish/Humanitarian/US Permanent Resident but living in Italy at the moment (therefore possibley slightly fascist) background
oh and I AM WOMAN...hear me ROAR
And hey! I even climb....
But I SWEAR...I have NEVER been to Eugene, Oregon....EVER...and I took a bath yesterday....or was it last week....hmmmmmm

This gay-o-meter thing is crap. I mean take a guy in 8th grade that gets held down and gang banged buy the whole football team after one of thier practices in the locker room, this does not make him gay. However, guys watching a football game and sitting around in thier underwear,,is pretty f%^&ing GAY!!!!!!!

Thanks for the link. I took something like this in highschool and I think that the test said I was a facist. Freshman year in college I thought that I was a reactionary, wrong. And now; Economic Left/Right: -4.88 Authoritarian/Libertarian -3.64. Dead on with Gandhi.

In reply to: http://www.jul3s.com/images/rc.jpg I found myself thinking "someone should graph this stuff" so I figured I would. I think I got everyone up to centmass. kinda neat to look at.
At first look at the graph I though you just had a severe multiple personality disorder.
Right/ Left: -4.50
Auth/ Lib: -2.26
If there was an essay option I would have scored a point in all four corners. I considered most of those questions to be trivial.

Looking at the the international chart, I notice I'm closest to Pope John Paul II. But I'm not too active in my faith. This got me thinking about all people who posted that they were right there with Gandhi.
Gandhi (and The Dalai Lama) both exemplified total commitment to their faith. They matured into men of greatness by living through their spirituality. Put another way, their religious faith was/is the core of their being.
I wonder how many of the people who aligned themselves with Gandhi practice some form of a major religion.
It's been my experience that people who have an animosity towards Christianity seem to be "left-left". I don't have a frame of reference regarding other major religions.

Thats a really interesting point, bumblie.
I have no animosity towards christianity, and I'm somewhat out near gandhi. But I don't practice, though I grew up in a fairly religious (church every sunday) family.
One thing to consider, is it that lefties have animosity towards christianity, religion, or whatever, or just that they are leftist libertarians and many of the christian varieties of religion are more authoritarian and right than they are? gandhi and the dalai lama weren't/aren't christians...that may be a big thing.

You don't need the rest of the data...take it from me, most climbers are tree hugging socialists.

In reply to: In reply to: I wonder how many of the people who aligned themselves with Gandhi practice some form of a major religion. My religion/personal spirituality is deeply tied with the natural world, so if I had to align with a major religion it would most likely be Buddhism, but there's a healthy dose of Native American spirituality blended in as well. I admire the Dalai Lama but am not certain I have the center of peace both he and Gandhi lived. Maybe that's where Geronimo, Cochise, and the Spirit of the Peaceful Warrior come into the picture.
My point was these two have/had a high degree of devotion and commitment to their religious beliefs, particularly in the face of hostile forces. This unyeilding faith in a higher being and higher purpose makes them unique and is primary to their greatness.
You, on the other hand, may consider yourself highly spiritual. From what you have written, your spirituality is one of convenience. A cornucopia of desirable aspects of different faiths. This may help you in daily life, but it lacks the commitment of any major religion.
