For the record: I answered as well as a "survey" that's put together like this one deserves. I honestly hope this is just some lame gimmick and you're not honestly going to use this for a class. For your sake.

Re: Smoking and Video Games
 

OK, the guy's put this in like 5 forums and this is the only one where he's being taken (what appears to be) seriously. Is Video Games really that friendly of a forum?

1) Smoking and video games, in the same survey...WTF kind of conclusions are you going to draw from this, kid?

2) Way to write objective questions. They don't teach you that in high school do they? I was hoping everybody would give you the reply of "I agree" to "kids should play violent video games all day every day" just to completely skew a terribly written survey.

Well I did that in a couple of the forums before I got tired of it. You can fill in for me on some of the others.

Edit: What the heck, I'll go do that now.

Its not that I necessarily want people to be telling this guy to DIAGF, but NO noob that comes on here with some lame survey has ever gotten the kind of serious replies this guy has...

Re: Smoking and Video Games
 

Hey if you don't want to answer it you don't have to. but I'm trying to do my project, which requires 100 people. The easiest way to do this is through the internet. Did I mention I'm dancing on a due date. All 8 pages of summary, 100 surveys, and 4 paragraphs written from different perspectives is due this thursday. Which is November 29. By the way, I appreciate your survey response.

Hey, I thought you just disappeared after posting the survey all over the place. Maybe you can at least help shed some light on why you set this up the way you did? Maybe address some of the GLARING bias in the questions?

If you can, I'll go back and give you serious answers instead of the jackassery I did earlier.

Re: Smoking and Video Games
 

Happy to oblige. And I do feel very strongly about question 15, kids need to be playing violent video games all day everyday.

Re: Smoking and Video Games
 

Glaring Biass?? Still in highschool here. do you mean like. make smokers feel bad. cuz my teacher told me something like that. but that was before I wrote the questions and printed 100 copies.

Go ahead and re-do the survey. it will only help me in finding the 100 people. In fact, I'm woundering if you could help me with the paragraphs. I have to find a direct quote for each of the four paragraphs. Maybe you could help me in one.

Re: Smoking and Video Games
 

"This survey is poorly phrased and very biased."
--VickreyAuction

"The questions clearly direct the person taking the survey toward responses that support the author's conclusion."
--VickreyAuction

"The survey is rife with sample bias, as people in a video game forum will have very different responses to questions about video games than other people."
--VickreyAuction

"Four whole paragraphs?! By Thursday?!?!??! WOW THAT'S A LOT OF WORK TO BE DONE! It clearly excuses writing a crappy survey and passing it off as real work."
--VickreyAuction

Re: Smoking and Video Games
 

I'm not saying I can't do four whole paragraphs with dirct quotes (from somebody, I still don't know what the hell it means by the direct quotes), with 8 page summary and 100 surveys, printed. I'm just saying, its time consuming. You know I have a highschool life too.

Re: Smoking and Video Games
 

Didn't know you needed quotes. So here's a quote.
"In the violent and war torn world in which we live, a comprehensive knowledge of the weapons of warfare is essential for the well-being of all the children. But when they are very young, they are still too small to be conduct military operations on foreign soil all by themselves. And it would be most impractical to have them carrying out murderous rampages on domestic soil. This is where violent videogames come in. The games should be extremely violent, the bloodier the better, and the children should play these games all day long. They should not waste their time with any other types of activities, except possibly smoking, which will make them feel more adult-like. It is my hope that the small children will grow up fast and learn the ways of high tech ultraviolence before it is too late. For one day they shall truly be America's Army."

Re: Smoking and Video Games
 

i did the survey cuz it only took 2 min and i was bored.

Re: Smoking and Video Games
 

Are you planning on taking over the world?

I don't mean like "make smokers feel bad", I mean like, "do you honestly think anybody in their right mind will agree with statements like 'kids should play violent video games all day every day' and 'I like it when people smoke in my place of work'".

If you can tell me why you chose to put "smoking" and "video games" in the same survey, and exactly what you hope to learn from your conclusions, that would be sweet.

Just an fyi - since you're new here and probably don't even play poker, most of the respected people on these boards tend to be at least somewhat educated and are very into logical processes. Coming on here with a half-baked, last minute, illogical survey isn't going to get much help. I wish you the best in the future if you're serious. We can help you get better, but you have to be willing to help yourself.

Re: Smoking and Video Games
 

I see what you mean. Somebody else also commented about those in some other places I posted this.

I chose "smoking" and "video games" becasue I thought they were going to be seperated from the begining, but instead my teacher told me they were going to be combined into one survey. So I saw this from a different perspective.

Yep, I don't play poker. I would like to learn though. "Last minute" and "half baked" are exact phrases in which all my friends do everything in highschool. from massive projects to simple homework. they end up doing the hoemwork the period before its due. Although I'm not usually like this. almost only on projects. Not on homework though.
