| 811 | I started using SC for a few weeks last summer, then stopped for a few months and picked it up again in December. | How long have you been a user of Survey Central? |
| 812 | karmakat - Since your main issue seems to be in regards to Brian, why didn't you raise that in one of the several surveys that have been written about (or by) him instead of using a survey as a personal forum? I entirely agree that there have been unwarranted personal attacks against Brian and I wish they weren't here. There have also been some warranted criticisms about surveys he has created (for example, using surveys as personal forums) and about his own behavior (for example, continuing to create those sorts of surveys after being repeatedly given suggestions on ways to make the desired points without creating a survey as a personal forum). And there have been compliments as well, though in Brian's case I find it unfortunate that the negative comments and impression have far outweighed the good surveys he's made. You might also want to revisit what you define as "fun" and whether you're attempting to define it for other people. For me, thought-provoking, challenging, critical, sometimes intense discussion (note that I am not using the word "intelligent" on purpose) is something that is fun to read, listen and even participate in. I get the impression that many other people at this site feel the same way, both from their responses to their surveys and from conversations with them in person outside of SC. If someone doesn't want to deal with the level of intensity here, just as you've commented in other surveys the internet is a big place and I'm sure you can find what you're looking for somewhere else, if not create it. | Attitude Adjustment |
| 813 | If the rest of the class was nude, I'd have no problem w/it, otherwise I'd be a little hesitant. | Would you pose naked for a drawing class in your town? |
| 814 | Distasteful is a stenchful pile of rotting garbage. Offensive is a loved one serving that pile to me for dinner. In other words, for me offensive requires some amount of intent. Good survey! | Is there a difference to you between things that are "distasteful" to you and things that are "offensive" to you? |
| 815 | hunter - I pretty much find the smell of regular smokers to be extremely distasteful, on the edge of offensive because the person subjects *me* to that smell. However, I do recognize that there are a whole bunch of issues about me choosing to be around that person and the smoker not necessarily being able to control his/her odor because of nicotine addiction that make it a bit more complex than a simple opinion. | Is there a difference to you between things that are "distasteful" to you and things that are "offensive" to you? |
| 816 | I'd want at least twice my annual salary. | If a Model Agency offered you a year's salary to pose naked for a top adult magazine, would you ? |
| 817 | There's also a kiwi/honey combination made by a company from New Zealand that's really good on toast. | What's your favorite spread on bread / toast ? |
| 818 | I like the plain, regular m&m's - the holiday ones don't do it for me. | What is your favorite kind of M & M's? |
| 819 | There's a false assumption that US intelligence services are all-knowing and US military equipment is all-powerful, so notable failures are assumed to be plots of some sort, especially in the days of _X-Files_. People forget that the majority of the plots that have come to light (such as Watergate) are much more banal. | Do you think the US bombed the Chinese embassy in Yugoslavia on purpose? |
| 820 | Can't think of anything in particular. There are a few things that I've done that I regret, but none of them stands out enough. | What is the one thing you most regret? |
