This is all Gug's fault BTW....

 He was picking on my polls at the Broho tonight...  said my not so serious questions ruin polls.  :-)  Long and the short of it we decided I would create a poll on terrorism and he would then use it as a platform from which to discuss my methods :-p  Have fun!

Well, since you asked...

One should always aim to minimize the number of options in a poll. This is particularly important given the small number of active participants on Olyblog. One should also avoid redundant choices, like "don't know" and "undecided." In this case, I would argue for no more than four choice: Yes, No, Depends, and Undecided. Everything else is superfluous or ambiguous. As for the "terrorist in my pants" option...it's Hamas, not Ham Ass.

Have you read "Confederacy

Submitted by ashley on Fri, 03/07/2008 - 11:01am.
Have you read "Confederacy of Dunces"? I can't read it in public because I start giggling hysterically and people try to start awkward conversations when I just want to keep reading and laughing.

it is hilarious, though some folks just can't get past Ingatius. I read it years ago. I think I'll pick it up again.

I voted wrong...

...does anyone wanna trade my accidental "violence is always an option" vote for a

 "never an option"?

Yoda, I think what happened

Submitted by Merwyn Haskett on Fri, 03/07/2008 - 7:53am.
Yoda, I think what happened was that you voted your true feelings without intending to. I think you should be banned from owning bombs, just to be safe.

I could take a serious direction and ask...

Submitted by Anonymously Larry on Fri, 03/07/2008 - 12:45am.

Are the terror alerts terrorism because they terrorize citizens?

But that would ruin the fun.

Where is the "I'm terrorized

Where is the "I'm terrorized by these polls" option!

Yeah!  What she said!

 

That's why I chose the "I have a terrorist in my shorts option"!  Mr. Onry liked that one!

Terrorism is never OK, but not all violence is terrorism.
