| 20021 | lead vocals, the guy running around in front of the band making a fool of himself - that's me! | If you were in a rock band, which of the following roles would you fill, assuming you were equally talented at all of them? |
| 20022 | I checked most of the above, though some conflicted, I like all kinds of games. I like variety and amazing graphics, I like immersion and games that don't require me to play the same part over and over; I like a good story the pulls on my emotions; I like games that have endings; I like games that don't require a lot of CD switching; I like games with good sounds and characters that talk to me; I like games that show high levels of creativity. Speaking of games, after lisashea's survey on old-style arcade games, I looked around and found an emulator called MAME (Multi Arcade Machine Emulator). It emulates in (DOS or Win95) most of the old arcade games - and fairly well too. I played Sinistar, Tron, Lunar Lander, Ghost and Goblins... It was great, though I have to admit those games aren't as good as I'd remembered them. | Do you like your computer games (not stand-up arcade games)... |
| 20023 | This happens to me a lot. Some of my closest friends are people who I had arguments or spirited debates with before we became friends. I like friends that I can argue with, it puts us on a more equal footing, it's healthy. ...as Phi said, it helps refine each other's thinking. *** Sigh, I think it's clear that this is some odd personal thing with me. I guess I just have a thing about picking (verbal) fights with people I don't know - and some turn out to be friends. **** OK, I thought about this even more, and perhaps I've come up with a better way of expressing the kind of thing that happens to me, here goes... On several occasions, someone I don't know very well will make a statement that I disagree with. If I'm in the mood, and if I have some respect for them, I will often challenge them on their point. Argument ensues, because we don't know each other, it's a little dangerous (the risk of offending is higher), but quite often when all is said and done I've acquired a new friend, and often the bond with which I am connected to such a person is stronger than if our initial conversation was non-argumentative. | Have you ever had a friendship that began with an argument or a fight? |
| 20024 | I have good friends, and old friends, but I see them so infrequently that I wouldn't classify them with all those adjectives. I'm just counting Jen. | How many people would you count as your nearest and dearest, most precious, sacred, cherished friends? |
| 20025 | 11:50pm, can't sleep (went to bed at 10, but failed), sitting in a dimly lit room, wearing only underwear, reading email (none left), looking up "breast feeding" on Alta Vista in another window - got a survey idea. telnet window (F-Secure SSH actually) to apocalypse.org, emacs running in it, editing survey.cgi to have "new comments" link (romkey's suggestion, I like it!). Considering midnight snack... | What other activities are you doing while accessing Survey Central right now? |
| 20026 | monogamy is my only protection. *** Steve, did you notice on the stats page that your age is 29.4? | How has AIDS/HIV affected you directly and personally? |
| 20027 | though I checked "life-or-death", I still feel that the person stealing must replace what was stolen after the emergency abates. Stealing is bad, and people who thinks it's OK really fudge up our society. What of the victim? A better way to phrase this question is "do you think it's OK for someone to steal from you?" | Do you think stealing is ok? |
| 20028 | I don't buy that rationalization Wicksy. Stealing is wrong and immoral. Justifying it does a disservice to those of us who do not do it. I think people steal because they are lazy and see it as an easy way out. Yes, I'll admit that poor people have nothing but hard ways to move in life (menial jobs, bad conditions, etc.), but I truly believe that if they apply themselves, work hard and do a good job they can pull themselves out of poverty. | Do you think stealing is ok? |
| 20029 | I don't recall. The only similar anecdote I can recall is the first year that I knew. 1973 (I was 5 or 6). I remember groking that 1973 was the year, and what a year was and such. *** pomeranian: it's gone! | Do you clearly recall a time in your childhood where you did not know: |
| 20030 | Yes, I give most of my surveys a "good" rating (though a few I've given a "bad" - I have created some surveys just for the hell of it and later regretted it). I think the author's opinion of their survey counts just like any other, otherwise I would disallow their opinion. By the way, if anyone was wondering, here's how approval rating works: So, non-raters tend to cause surveys to gravitate toward 50% (this is intentional), originally I didn't count "no opinions", but this seemed to cause surveys to have wild ratings despite general apathy (e.g. all but one person had no opinion, but that one person gave it a "bad" - it would be a 0% - which didn't seem right).If you answer your own survey, then you are rating it. Even if you leave it as *No Opinion* you are giving it a 50%. It's like a Heisenberg thing, the only way not to rate your own survey is to never observe it. If you observe it, you change it. | When you create a survey, do you rate it? |
