    Do two positives make a negative?

    I voted Yes Yes - being able to emphasize my opinion in a poll is a definite plus for me...

    Ofcourse the poll is flawed. Anyone can see why.

    Of course it's flawed. (1) It's already been done, and (b) It embodies the logical fallacy of bifurcation.

    Also, it's a poll.

    Hey, Inq - can something be logical AND a fallacy at the same time? Isn't that a logical fallacy in itself?

    It's flawed because I cannot chose yes three times. Who says that I only want to emphasize how flawed it is with two yes votes, what happens if I really really really think that it is flawed?

    Plus, there is no undecided, maybe, requires more research, perhaps, possibly, or i 'unno, options.

    It is flawed-

    1. You can vote in more than one category, therefore you can inflate the statistical figures

    2. There is no category for 'I do not care'

    3. There is no category for 'I want a muffin'

    Whoops. I realize this whole poll has been done before, recently even. Which makes this poll even more flawed and an overkilled joke. Oh well. I'll go back to thinking up other ridiculous polls.

    Hello, new running joke that mrbiggs will use over and over again until it is totally dead.

    You get a rep point for giving it to me, though.

    I say that your post is flawed, cause you said (1) and then (b), which is most illogical.

    I gave you rep, and did not sign my name. It was me. I said "I want a muffin." And I do. I'm hungy.

    I want a muffin...

    Freshman year in high school, my nickname was muffin in art class.

    now.. you did you get a name like that?
    I want to be remembered when I'm dead. I want books written about me. I want songs sung about me. And then, hundreds of years from now, I want episodes of my life to be played out weekly at half past nine by some great heroic actor of the age.

    No one told me, but I'm pretty sure it was my hair. It wasn't so curly back then, and instead went straight down, then, at bout ear level, made a right angle and went straight out. It looked really stupid. And it made my head look like a muffin.

    You can feel free to call me muffin. I actually had to respond to that name until the end of the year, when all the pothead seniors who were involved graduated.
