Ask stupid questions, get stupid answers



What about the poll that expresses approval of what Mangione did?






Polls are manipulative and stupid. Why ask a question in a poll which doesn't qualify the act being discussed? By qualifying, I mean to generalize it to a broader application. In short, the question should be something like: "Is it okay to kill people that you don't like"? I'd betcha you'd get a far different result than what this one was. It was a stupid answer to a stupid question. It is stupid because it has no thinking behind it.

It should be obvious that nobody should want the right to kill somebody that displeases them. Well, duh! If you disagree with someone, does that give you the right to shoot somebody for it? How would you like to be shot, you dummies?

No way a policy like this could last for long. Dead bodies all over the place is likely to have an outcry for it to stop. But that is what an unthinking approval of this act of violence amounts to. Nobody is using their brains on this one.

You might forgive the responses to the poll. The poll takers should ask better questions. It's a stupid poll that intended to make you feel something or do something equally stupid. Maybe they ought to give a poll that goes like this: "Should stupid poll takers be shot for asking stupid questions?"

I'd say that one deserves to be ignored. But here I am responding to it. What a world.
