No one has denied the Iroquois influence.

Here, I hope this salves your sense of outrage:

He was also a political genius; a primary force in the establishment of a successful free government unlike any that went before it in the Judeo-Christian population of the world.

Bwaaaaaaahaaaa!
So now your an Poll analysist? I always suspected that.

Like I said...polls are useless as in most cases they are taken in such a way to get the desired results.. Meaningless and you know it , so don`t embarrass yourself any further.............unless of course you 'Just want to", in which case we will be here for you.

I didn't "want" any particular result

Well now you`ve done it! You have just started costing me money. I now have to go out and buy boots with taller tops. The BS just starting coming over the top of the 17 inchers. I expect it to get deeper , so I am going to be pepared.

ROFL - and why would I want to "get a desired result"? And what "desired result" would that be? What could I possibly have to gain? But I'm fascinated by the interest being shown in my poll which is on a UK website with (AFAIK) ~100% UK posters, given that those who are all of a-twitter about it seem to be at least 3000 miles away. Funny that the board moderator didn't do a skuzzy-scissors job on my poll, and say it was biased. Can you imagine it?

See Rule #37, polls not allowed because they might upset some avacado 4000 miles away

Allow me to paraphrase: "You've held polls in the past, and the results have gone against what I and my cronies believe in. I haven't seen your current poll, but I believe it to be phony because that's what I want to believe. Two people in this thread agree with me and therefore it must be true".

Other quotable quotes in this thread

Quote

"I know your country well. It's dull, there's just a few birds flying around there, and no-one would ever stand up to the government to defend their rights. I know the people there. They are meek subjects. I know exactly how they live and what they do. Oh, and er................... I have never been there"

"All polls are meaningless, unless the poll result is an exact match of my own beliefs."
"Your poll is worthless - I know this even though I haven't even seen it. I know nothing about the poll - I don't even know which BBS it's on. I know nothing of the people who voted in it. I do not know what sort of people they are, where they live, or their occupations. I don't even know what was said in the posts in the poll thread. But I know I'm right because two people in this thread would agree with me."
"Don't blind me with the FACTS - I know what I'm talking about"
[/b]

Still 18-6, with 264 people having viewed the poll thread.

Yes, just done a deal with the local police force. They wanted the turbo diesel version - good for difficult terrain, low speed pursuit, and on grass that is more than 8in high.

Been thinking about this - What proof do you have? Was it a)you did your own poll to ask if my polls were phony, and two people replied yes, or... b) was it something you "heard"?

lazs2 · « **Reply #477 on:** September 30, 2005, 12:47:03 PM »

I meant phony in the respect that you either asked loaded questions or, in this case, handpicked the group that you knew would support your opinion. Like running a poll on a peta BB asking if they thought tyson was being cruel in the way that they raised chickens.

You know nothing about the people who have voted in my poll. Nothing, Nada, Zip. And... FWIW, 25% of them voted NO.

Those that voted at all represent only about 10% of the people that read the poll thread. Like I said, most people aren't really interested in seatbelts, and wouldn't wear one - except of course if usage is mandatory.

lazs2 · « **Reply #479 on:** September 30, 2005, 01:02:11 PM »

you mind telling us again what the name of the BB was that you "polled"?

Like I said... like polling a peta bb about how they felt about puppy torture for amusement.
