Polls: For them or agin them?
#11
RE: Polls: For them or agin them?
BAHAHAHAHA!!!

Whateverist, you jerk! Tongue

I vote "other."

I'm making up my own:

...Only Catholics should be allowed to post polls, and should do so as frequently as possible, with a minimum of one per day.
"Of course, everyone will claim they respect someone who tries to speak the truth, but in reality, this is a rare quality. Most respect those who speak truths they agree with, and their respect for the speaking only extends as far as their realm of personal agreement. It is less common, almost to the point of becoming a saintly virtue, that someone truly respects and loves the truth seeker, even when their conclusions differ wildly."

just tick the box 'I want to include a poll' in the editor when posting a new thread (on desktop version, can't do it on mobile)

It's just it didn't have a place to put the poll options on the first page so I thought I was missing something. Does it open a second page to put in the poll options?

A poll implies curiosity into what other people are thinking.

I can't relate to that . . .
 The granting of a pardon is an imputation of guilt, and the acceptance a confession of it.

Yes it does. Check the box that says to make this a poll and it'll take you to another page.

I voted warnings for no polls, but I also want all polls to only be yes/no answers, no matter what the question.

Since we're talking about polls, I believe there should always be an other option because there's always someone who doesn't agree or has a different interpretation.

No, people who cannot make up their minds should not be humored.  There should never be an "other" option.

Only if it's really an "yes" and "no" question but aside from "Do you believe in god?" I can't think of any.

I wanted to vote for all of them. But since this is one of those fascist polls where you can't do that, I voted for option 4.
