| 11 | Depends on the food. I try to get a quality of take-out that doesn't involve those packaged condiments. | Do you use the typical condiments that come with Chinese take-out food? |
| 12 | I was in the union when I was a graduate student. I thought it was a pretty good thing, actually. Individual grad students really don't have much power, and there were some things that were real problems about the way things worked. One example would be that we weren't covered by workmen's compensation insurance, so if we were hurt on the job (quite possible in a laboratory), it was very difficult to get the university to pay appropriately. | Do you belong to a labor union? |
| 13 | Yes, but it would be very difficult. | If you knew that somebody very close to you is going to die in a few months, would you tell him? |
| 14 | Just the dog should leave. The person with the allergy should be a buddy for the other person for the duration of the gathering. | How should this situation be handled? |
| 15 | In practice, probably so... but it was a hypothetical question anyway. My point was to find a creative solution instead of reading a moral judgement between two different types of handicaps into the question, which I thought was just silly. | How should this situation be handled? |
| 16 | I don't think there are any rules per se. But people do expect a certain standard of behavior. No ad hominem attacks. Reasoned arguments. Comprehensible language (that's a nice way of saying good spelling and grammar). And last but not least, a sense of humor. I think there is some explanation of this in the introductory stuff for newcomers, but I haven't looked at it in a long time. | What are the societal rules of Survey Central? |
| 17 | The people who elected the party rule the country. If the system of government ("democracy") is well designed, it will prevent the party currently in power from abusing that power (within reason) ("checks and balances"). Not that it works as well in practice as in theory, of course. | Is it legitimate that fascists rule a country if they're elected in a democracy? |
| 18 | Two. I left the rest in the store.
| You have 8 apples. Take away 2. How many do you have? |
| 19 | I don't remember, but it seems quite unlikely. | Have you ever seen any movies on the day they opened? |
| 20 | Given that I'm a farmer, I'd probably wish for X inches of rain this season (where X is a goodly and appropriate amount). | What would *you* ask for? |
