Engineering Polls

You forgot:

8) Online polls are:

a - Posted by raving nutters.

b - Answered by raving nutters.

c - Gloop oobie bloo. Wheeeee!

d - All of the above.

I consider myself more of a nutting raver.

Gleep glort blee!

This points up the one of the troubles with polls. Most of these questions can't be answered (by me) by the answer choices you have given. I will, therefore, give you the shortest answers I can.

1) The acronym UFO means Unidentified Flying Object. There are a number of things in the sky that can easily fit those criteria; mostly because of limited knowledge base, being to far away to see clearly etc. I personally believe they fall into several different categories. I hold open the idea that some could be extra-terrestrial in nature, some secret government testing, some artifacts of light on atmosphere, some tricks of perception.

2) Evolution is an as yet unproven theory. Is it the best possible explanation of the available facts? I, personally, don't think so. Is it bunk? I think that most people that adhere to the concept believe it is right, making it, therefore more of a religion than science.

3) Global Warming – see above

4) Over unity power – I think there are several forms of, as yet, undetected and/or misunderstood sources of energy. Many of these devices (over-unity machines) rely on existing energy sources: magnetics for example. Yet there are sources of 'free' power. The sun shines down on us every day, causing the wind to blow and the water to flow.

5) Big bang – See #2 above

6) Best beer – since I get an allergic reaction to it I'd have to say No such thing.

7) Politics – I am conservative by nature but try to be open minded to the liberal point of view.

1. UFO's are what they say...unidentified flying objects
2 a
3 by definition ...it must be b as people are natural.
4 d
5 a (ish)
6 English.. ok European
7 Furry headed way left of Liberal

Yes, I'm sorry I had to lump the English in with the Europeans - I was schooled in Texas so I don't know enough countries to list them all by name.

4b - It's already been done. The sun and moon are "over-unity" energy devices.

1) b- even if the if aliens their from nature too.

2) a-

3) b man is part of this worlds natural cycles

4) d

5) a

6) a,b,c,d,e,f Its matter of personal taste. To each his own. Most of the best one are not bottled anyway so theres no way to know until you walk in that pub.

7) a,b,c depends on the issue

Ditto Del's answers except for 7) the furry liberal Thang. I'se a Prickly libertarian.

But I like cats.

Hello

1) UFOs

2) Evolution

b - It's bunk!

3) Global warming

b - Caused by natural cycles


4) Over-Unity Power Generation

d - There's no such thing

5) Big bang

c - It's bunk!

6) Best Beer

g - There's no such thing

7) I consider myself a

e) None of the alternatives offered.

Now that my last answer has ruined your statistics, cheers.

Kind Regards from far away....

It'll be interesting to see if there's a strong co-relation between the different areas.

The standard stereotypes would link belief in UFO's (driven by aliens), Creationism, natural cycle G.W., Steady state cosmology and Over unity machines with conservatism, with the opposite views being held by liberals.

If it's true, does it mean that conservatives have a deep seated mistrust of the "powers that be" or is it that liberals just believe anything they're told by the same PTB.

1-b, 2-a, 3-a&b, 4-d, 5-a, 6-d (although further research is needed), 7-a&b

Odd statement...your "doctrine" banner screams of anti-conservatism...I thought you were on teh liberal side of things.

1. WGARA?

2. WGARA?

3. WGARA?

4. WGARA?

5. WGARA?

6. WGARA?

7. WGARA?

8. VOTE for Alfred E. Newman For President!

I. UFO's- d- a conspiracy by the media mogols designed to sell more newspapers.

2. Evolution- c. I am still evolving. I will wait to respond to this one until the process is finished

3. Global Warming- d- a good thing. Beats the alternative of another ice age.

4. Over-Unity Power Genration- e- do you have any stock available for sale (just in case).

5. Big Bang- d. Last Friday night.

6. Best Beer. h. Panamanian

7. I consider myself e- apolitical.

Gee. It seems I'm off the scale on every question...Am I living wrong?

78% of statistics are made up on the spot.

Recent studies show it's closer to 79%.

1 c

2 a C'mon. Are there still people out there who question this?

3 a If you burn all the fossil fuel on the planet, I think the earth will eventually get warmer.

4 d

5 a It is the best explanation, although it is far from the final explanation.

6 a Canadian, (not North American). There is a big difference.

7 b My jaw is becoming slacker every day!

I'm not an engineer, but I love polls!

1. b

2. a - I've taken too many anthropology classes to believe otherwise.

3. b - I agree with Del and ozzb who said that Humans are natural

4. No clue

5. a

6. Beer Margaritas!! (Any flavor)

7. None of the above - Independent!

Hang on this should be fun!

#1

a product of pointy headed liberal evolutionist

#2

same answer to #1

#3

same as #1

#4

hasn't been done yet

#5

same as #1

#6

home made

#7

lets just say I have two RIGHT wings

1) UFOs
d - Misidentification of natural phenomena, birds, airplanes and rarely, secret aircraft.

2) Evolution
c - It depends on one's prior assumptions.

3) Global warming
10%: a - Caused by people
90 % b - Caused by natural cycles

4) Over-Unity Power Generation
d - There's no such thing

5) Big bang
d - It depends on your prior assumptions.

6) Best Beer
h - Home made

7) I consider myself a
e - a cautious independent

So what is it you are looking for, guidance as to how you should think, which side of the fence you should stand on? Not trying to be stand-offish, just asking.

Untill all of the facts are in, opinions aren't worth much, now are they?; except to offer an opportunity for some self-impressed individuals to pretend they have done all of the research, and know more than all of the experts whom are actually performing the research that still haven't arrived at any solid answer. If they had, no need for an opinion, as the facts would loudly speak for themselves.

Of course, that's just my opinion.

Great weekend to all !!!

May you live each day realizing you could be dead tomorrow, so you don't miss out on living when opportunity allows.

1 - B

2 - A

3 - A

4 - I DON'T KNOW WHAT THIS IS.

5 - A

6 - C

7 - I AM A TRUE LIBERAL DEMOCRAT - SINCE 1976 - GO OBAMA! - and it's not what I consider myself. Personally, I am a literal anarchist: I don't believe that government works, but it does seem to be a necessary evil.

BTW, generally, technocrats do NOT like filling out surveys. I filled this one out because it came from a fellow technocrat. This had better NOT be your psychology homework.

Orpheuse

What's the difference between ignorance and apathy? I don't know and I don't care.

1b

2 one of several explanations.

3b

4d

5 of all the theories, it is one of them

6 the one you're buying for me

7 all of the above

I've always been crazy, but it's kept me from going insane.

Online polls are a waste of time!

1) Any flying object that you don't know what it is, is a UFO. If it's a type of airplane you didn't know existed, it's a UFO to you. Many natural phenomena, and a few man-made ones, are often mistaken for alien spacecraft. My meteorology textbook says that lenticular clouds are often mistaken for UFO's.

2) b - We've seen species adapt and change, but we've never seen any species evolve from one into another. Each living being recreates after its own kind.

3) Not sure on this one. I am sure that man is not causing global warming, but we might be seeing urban warming. Most of the thermometers used for official readings are located in urban areas. This could be introducing a bias into the raw data that is not being accounted for.

4) d - Get real if you believe in this. You could put together a system that might appear to produce over-unity gain, but eventually, it will wear out due to losses due to friction.

5) I am an oddball in that I am an old-earth creationist. I won't go into details here, but I will say that the Big Bang seems consistent with Gen. 1:1.

6) IBC Root Beer from International Brewing Company in St. Louis MO.

7) People would classify me as a conservative, but I consider myself to a Constitutional Preambulist. The US Constitution should be interpreted by the clauses of its Preamble.

8) What about naving rutters?

To all my fellow Americans on CR4 and elsewhere, enjoy the Memorial Day weekend, enjoy your freedoms as Americans, and remember those who fought and worked for those freedoms. To everyone else, have a great weekend.
