MtnClmbr Posted March 24, 2003 Posted March 24, 2003 More fascinating insight into America's opinion on the conflict with Iraq. Looks like most American's agree it is the right thing to do. http://www.gallup.com/poll/releases/pr030321.asp Quote
Distel32 Posted March 24, 2003 Posted March 24, 2003 Yeah but those numbers are terrible, did you see how many people they asked???? 602 How to manipulate statistics. I find it hard to take a survey seriously that is supposed to give a cross section of a nation of 200+million people when they only poll 602. IMHO Quote
MtnClmbr Posted March 24, 2003 Author Posted March 24, 2003 http://www.pollingreport.com/iraq.htm Perhaps they're polling the same 602 people here? Quote
MtnClmbr Posted March 24, 2003 Author Posted March 24, 2003 And here too? http://www.cbsnews.com/stories/2003/03/22/opinion/polls/main545345.shtml IMHO Quote
MtnClmbr Posted March 24, 2003 Author Posted March 24, 2003 My only argument here would be it's pretty ironic that out of the 3 polls I randomly selected on google, all three came up with similar results. I think it's time to face the music .. if you don't support this war, you're in the vast minority (unless you're on cc.com or you live in Seattle). Quote
Dru Posted March 24, 2003 Posted March 24, 2003 do you always talk to yourself or only on cc.com? Quote
MtnClmbr Posted March 24, 2003 Author Posted March 24, 2003 This from the man who broke the post count meter. Quote
Billygoat Posted March 24, 2003 Posted March 24, 2003 Hey pro status quo dude, your google search is not ironic, it's coincidental. Mob rule does not mean intelligent policy or there won't be repercussions that out weigh the benefits. If you are an American, you are a member of only 8% of the population of the world. Expand your mind mr. headupyurassgeopoliticalwiseoldwayofthinkingfool Quote
MtnClmbr Posted March 24, 2003 Author Posted March 24, 2003 Well, it's a darn good thing we live in a democracy then, and not a dictatorship! Because then we might have some nut job thinking that majority opinion doesn't count. Quote
Billygoat Posted March 24, 2003 Posted March 24, 2003 That makes as much sense as your "ironic" statement Quote

Billygoat Posted March 24, 2003 Posted March 24, 2003 you sure sound like tomcat.... You added that last sentence later so now it makes sense. But wouldn't you agree that the majority of the world is against this? Quote
Billygoat Posted March 24, 2003 Posted March 24, 2003 Do you talk to the animals, like your brother? Quote

And this may sound imperialist (don't get me wrong, I'm not apologizing), but I'm only concerned with America's opinion. Quote
Billygoat Posted March 24, 2003 Posted March 24, 2003 That is certainly your right. I just think that if are going to promote democracy in the world we should behave in a democratic rather than an imperialistic way towards the world Quote
mattp Posted March 24, 2003 Posted March 24, 2003 And Bush was elected through a free and fair election? Quote

The last time I checked the constitution, it said the US president is elected via electoral votes, not popular vote. Good thing for us too, because lordy lordy would be in deep doodoo right now if Gore was at the helm! Quote
Billygoat Posted March 24, 2003 Posted March 24, 2003 Yep, that whole electoral college thing is a mob rule counter measure installed by our founding fathers. They knew what side of the bread to butter. Quote

You know, that whole thing with the brother throwing his state for his sibling would be hard to take in a novel. The reader would not be able to suspend their disbelief. It's something one could believe possible only in the days of Shakespeare Quote
JoshK Posted March 24, 2003 Posted March 24, 2003 I read the first 3 posts in this thread, and ignored the read. Quite quoting statistics from surveys tho. this is the most idiotic way to attempt to make a point when you have no leg to stand on. Here is a stat for you: 95% of the people in this country are idiots. Quote
