Smoking and Video Games

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...

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.

[EvilSteve]

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.

"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."

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.

[EvilSteve]

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."
