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.

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.

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

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.

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.

It sounds like you've planned this out brilliantly.

I thought this was going to be a thread about how much fun it is to chain-smoke and play video games [img]/images/graemlins/frown.gif[/img]

Hello. My name is Omar Mata and I am a student of Williams High School. In
my Biology class, we have been assigned a Bioethics Study project. I was
hoping you could help me by simply filling out this survey. I have to get 100 people to fill this out. Please help me. Thank you very much.
