    Hi

    I have a completely biased view of issue X and would like to have my ungrounded assessments debated. I will post some ill-researched rhetoric, and not answer any questions about my rhetoric. The poll will prove absolutely nothing, but somehow validate my stance, regardless of the outcome.

    Opinions please.

    Should I be shot with a ball of my own sh1te? 18 votes

    Yes - life is too short
    0% 0 votes
    No - please waste my time and bandwidth
    100% 18 votes

    As you do not know who I am or what I know I can post that I know vast amounts more than anyone about said topic and quote some page I found claiming the information is merely my own opinion. I can do this because it is of no consequence to me or anyone that knows me and is my only way to feel superior in a life of boredom and self loathing.

    I'm only kidding, but not really. or am I? I really don't know (but I still know vast amounts more than anyone, p.s. I'm smarter than hawking)

    You make a compelling argument, but you are of course wrong. You see I am right, therefore everyone else is wrong. QED.

    Or QBC, if you prefer public transport.

    WRT the poll above, when it closes will we get to see you with a ball of your own sh1te?

    According to some, my car could be described as a ball of sh1te, so no problem!

    Driving a ball of sh1te and being shot with one are two different things.

    Posting pointless polls should result in the latter every time. I am however guilty on this score but reckon that if you feel strongly enough about it, ignore it and it will go away.

    'c

    I stopped myself posting a poll on the pointlessness of diesel....

    What a load of sh1te. You have absolutely no facts, statistics or experience to support your arguement. I totally disagree with the stance you are taking on this one.

    Tell me, what would we do if there was no such thing as a hypotetical question.....

    Hmmm. There IS no such thing as a hypotetical question. What will we do???

    Is there anything more infuriating (hypothetically speaking) than someone jumping on a spelling mistake?

    From the wisdom of Homer:-
    "Oh, people can come up with statistics to prove anything, Kent. 14% of people know that."
    "Statistics show that if your parents didn't have kids, you probably won't either."
    "Facts are meaningless. You could use facts to prove anything that's even remotely true!"
