| 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...

| 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. | |

Also, it's a poll. | I say that your post is flawed, cause you said (1) and then (b), which is most illogical. | |
