WWL has an "assault rifle" poll.

[Sugarbug]

Not sure if this is how the wording always went but now it reads, "Are you for or against banning assault weapons?" This is not a yes or no question, yet these are your only options.

Yeah. What idiot is wording this thing?

Are you for or against killing babies? YES or NO.

idiots.

That is some crazy wording, don't really know how to take it.

Those mother ****ers... I just refreshed the POLL and now the answers are FOR and AGAINST. I'm hoping my previous answer of NO translates into AGAINST.
Seriously, who the hell at that station approved this poll. They need to invalidate all the previous replies and start over again tomorrow.

Of course now I click the CONTACT US link at the bottom of the page and it's NOT AVAILABLE... seriously, there's nowhere on the website you can list an email address other than the ONLY page on the whole thing that isn't working.

I wonder how many emails they've received this morning regarding their crap poll.
Anybody with the stations email address please post it.

Am I the only one thinking that question doesn't gauge anything at all because the wording is so poor? "Are you for or against banning assault weapons?" The choices are "Yes" or "No," so you are either saying "Yes, I am for or against banning assault weapons," or "No, I'm not for or against banning assault weapons." It's like one of those South Park clips where they interview wishy-washy people who all sit on the fence and won't commit to an answer. "Yes" and "No" should be changed to "For" and "Against" for consistency with the original question. It's a bit nit-picky, but those in the media are supposed to have a competent grasp on language and connotation.

EDIT: Looks like several others noticed while I was typing, and apparently the website, too.

jesus christ. are these really the kind of people who are responsible for giving us the news? we now have journalists who cant even form a poll correctly

 

[SamNavy]

I just cycled through every page on the website... the CONTACT US page is the only one not working.
Can anybody think of a single reason they don't want to receive any emails or phone-calls right now? Bueller?

 

[Leonidas]

54% Against banning.

 

[Sin-ster]

Fixed.

That's the worst poll question I've ever heard.

"ARE YOU FOR OR AGAINST BANNING ASSAULT WEAPONS?"

Then the answers are YES OR NO!

Yes, I'm FOR banning assault weapons.
Yes, I'm AGAINST banning assault weapons.

WTF kind of wording is that?

The defense rests.

New Poll--

Do you think the idiots who came up with these polls should be deported?

YES or NO.

See, that wasn't difficult at all.

 

[Hitman]

They changed it!

 

[Emperor]

So they replace it with "Do you question where God was during the Colorado shooting?"

93% say No. Compelling stuff.

No offense to you believers, but if this^ is true; it shows how reality (gun issues) is out of sync with faith issues.

 

[twokids]

Currently 56% against banning 44% for banning.

 

[Gus McCrae]

So they replace it with "Do you question where God was during the Colorado shooting?"

93% say No. Compelling stuff.

How so? I'm just making sure I understand you point.

 

[42]

59% against
41% for

 

[Sin-ster]

How so? I'm just making sure I understand you point.

I was being silly.

It's the second most pointless poll I've ever seen-- other than the one with no clear answer, mentioned above.

 

[Enraged Gecko]

At the time of my vote, 40% were in favor of banning assault weapons and 60% were opposed.

 

[Enraged Gecko]

Just posted a link to the poll on another forum I'm active on, AKFiles.com. Hopefully the number of participants opposed to banning assault weapons will increase dramatically before WWL decides to shut the poll down.

 

[Boutdoors]

My vote is in.
For=37%
Against=63%

 

[Enraged Gecko]

The liberal media can kiss the fattest part of my @$$. THE TRUTH IS NOT WHAT YOU SAY IT IS!
