47% of Americans Are Idiots

[Zingerific]

My psychologist says that all humans are bisexual, but 95% haven't figured it out yet.

Gore Vidal says that too. Is he your psychologist?

You know, alfaPA, that's a very astute point you've made. The whole problem with poll questions like this one is simply that there are too many terms that need to be defined (like "behavior" and "desire"); who knows what is going on in the head of the respondent? Anyway, that debate gets nowhere fast.

LOL

I don't know that I'd want Gore Vidal as my psychologist.
My psychologist deals with mood disorders and (wait for it) coming-out issues!


WRT the poll, this is one of those things where my sociology prof back when said that larger sample sizes are needed. He had a scale of how hot an issue was, and the hotter it was, the larger the sample size needed, he contended.

My apologies, I'm a slave to humour. I feel bad now.

I should have put one of those yellow winky things after my post.

Seriously, though, it did have something of a Homer Simpson quality to it, didn't it? (Maybe I should stick one of those yellow winky things after this one, too, eh? )

I guess what I/we are saying is that one cannot choose who they are physically/sexually attracted to. For some of us it's only the same sex that we're attracted to, for others (as many as 95%?) any sex will do. That makes a lot of people who could honestly believe one could make a choice, I guess. What is dumb, or annoying actually, are those who assume that those of us who are only attracted to the same sex must not exist or that we should make the choice not to act on our feelings.

I bet you a dollar the number is higher and the American poll takers can’t count.

Maybe you should make a poll about whether or not people think the American pollsters can count. The results could be interesting.

You need to ask 1001 people.

Too funny! The irony slays me.

I did say something and my post got deleted.

But I still believe what I originally pointed out.
