poll

Once you've answered the poll question, please post the strongest one or two brief arguments that support your position and the strongest one or two brief arguments against your position. I will gather these and ask for counter arguments when the poll responses slow down significantly. Please...

There's an interesting entry to Digg today, which is currently the most popular story over there. It's a poll that wants the get the opinions of Digg users based on a variety of topics. There's a question on 9/11 there, which asks the question: "5. Who committed the attacks on 9/11?"...

Which country do the users of this Conspiracy Theory subforum come from? This is just nice to know stuff :) Just for comparison, here is what Alexa tells us about where the users of these CT sites come from: Prisonplanet.com United States 61.5% United Kingdom 8.7% Canada 8.4% Australia...

Link. A fourth have no opinion about al Qaeda? I find that hard to believe. The rest are troofers? Other findings: 47% think of themselves as Muslim first, not American; 60% of young Muslims think of themselves as Muslim first, and only 25% think of themselves as American first; percentage...

So I'm curious: what have you read? Please check exactly three boxes - one about bible/qur'an, one about pro-theism books, one about pro-atheism books. For the latter two, what I mean is e.g. any third party book that directly discusses the topic, whether it be Dawkins, seminary books...

Even if you think the likelihood of all is ridiculously small, you must choose. I did this a few years back, but this one has some different choices.

THIS POLL IS NOT ANONYMOUS. YOUR VOTE WILL BE ASCRIBED TO YOU. There have been numerous comments of late that the CT debunkers have developed a dogmatic acceptance of the NIST Report. From Greening to Childlike Empress to several of "our own" (meaning regular posters in the CT section)...

Just wondering what everyone thinks

We've all heard the claim that 84% of the US believes 9/11 was an inside job. Over... and over... and over. Well I found these poll results pretty interesting. Should ABC fire Rosie, as O'Reilly implies? Yes, she crossed the line 61% No, it's free speech 39% Total Votes: 141,411 What do you...

What do you personally think? Is it dead?

I think this is such an important question for anyone who is interested in the overall psychology of this... Small print: This poll is not scientific and might be slightly biased.

ok poll time ;) Which policy would you pursue? The eight options: what Washington and London are discussing 1 British out now One of the British diplomats involved in talks on Iraq policy said the UK, which has responsibility for the south of Iraq, "could go tomorrow almost ... It would...

Poll inspired by the "What would be so bad about a World Government?" thread. My intention is not to hijack useful traffic from the original thread, so I'd prefer it if people used this thread solely for posting silly straw men, "Have you stopped beating your wife yet?" questions, accusations...

Got hit with this one on another board but I haven't neard of it and can't Google anything either.

Where do you stand on the BBT?

I stole this poll from here: http://siderea.livejournal.com/394627.html So there you are, a human living and working on some other extra-terrestrial civilizations' homeworld, on their equivalent of a green card. You get a summons to the local equivalent of a law court. The judge explains to...

The 9/11 conspiracy crowd love to bring out that poll that they claim says a third of U.S. persons think the U.S. Federal govenment had some sort of sponsoring role in 9/11. Now, I know a lot of your think polling is bunk, but I would like to know if it's possible to conduct a real poll. I...

From ynet news Poll: Israelis believed Nasrallah over Peretz I don't know much about the site, but it looks like it's Israeli. Wiki says

A front page story in my morning paper reports that a third of Americans now believe that 9/11 was an "inside job," whose purpose was to provide a pretext for going to war in the Middle East. 54% of Americans are now more angry at the Federal Government than ever before. If I were Shrub, I'd...

Did any of the Canadians in our midst happen to read the July 1st, 2006 issue of Maclean's where on page 42 (of my issue) there is an article called "Praise the Lord and Call the Psychic"? It has bits of information such as: 57% of Canadians believe in ESP. 55% believe in psychic powers. 5%...

uh-huh-huh-huh "pole" Okay, a little more seriously, I know this is the hot topic de jour and that there has to be at least ten other threads on the topic, but I want to examine another aspect of it. Specifically, at least in terms of the board's demographics, I'm curious how the same sex...

As many of you are probably aware, there is an organization called "The Voluntary Human Extinction Movement" that encourages people to refuse to reproduce so as to eventually bring about the extinction of mankind. Personally, I think they are loopy, but I do believe that a large population of...

What do you think happened on 11 September 2001?

Graham S1 asked someone to make this poll for him. Graham, I took the liberty of added the traditional "Planet X" option. Hope you don't mind.

From here: My feeling is that, although this sounds like bad news, it's really not because more discussion about atheism is a good thing. I suspect a lot of the people polled probably have an incorrect view of what atheism really is. If fact a lot of people who call themselves atheists should...

GW is not going to get impeached. Are we over that one? My question is, if he could be removed without acrimony (which is a major reason why I think impeachment is a bad idea) would you support it? That is to say, suppose the option was let George continue on for 3 (shudder) more years or...

Unofficial of course, but I can't understand the high percentage of "Every word is literally true" number! http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/11656508/

This is a poll about people's position on the question of realism with respect to physical objects. Direct Realism: The objects of perception during veridical experiences (i.e. not hallucinations or lucid dreams) are real physical objects which exist totally independently of mind(s)...

:confused: I hope I'm not posting this thread into the wrong spot but I have been trying to locate a current poll that indicates the percentage of the people in the US that actually believe in psychics. I believe (unfortunately)that there are probably a high number of people who truly believe...
