In the 4th grade my teacher handed out an assignment that listed about a dozen different things to do in order to complete the assignment. Little things like “get up and touch the chalkboard.” The very last instruction read “do none of the above.” About 75% of the class fell for it. I was just curious to see if the results were more related to age or if it was simply human nature. Granted it’s not the same thing, but it’s about as close as I’m going to get without putting any effort into it. Nevertheless, I got my answer. Human nature it is.

250 votes is enough to satisfy my curiosity.  Thanks for those who participated.




On one side of the argument are groups like the NRA who say that the more non-criminal civilians own guns, the safer we will all be.  On the other side of the argument are groups like the Brady Campaign who say that if we greatly reduce the number of guns non-criminals owned, the safer we will all be……………………………………..

Ok, now I have typed enough so that no one can scroll over the title of the thread and read this part.  I am curious to see how many people actually bother to even skim the first post in a thread prior to voting in the poll.

IF THE ANSWER IS “TRUE” VOTE “FALSE.”

IF THE ANSWER IS “FALSE” VOTE “TRUE.”

IN OTHER WORDS…EVERYONE VOTE “TRUE.”

Actually it worked out pretty much just like I expected.  Some guys who are insecure about their own intelligence taking offense to being “fooled” was to be expected.  As I mentioned earlier the point of this poll was to perform a half-ass, poor man’s, far from scientific study to satisfy my own curiosity.  Thanks for being one of the guinea pigs.
