Inspired by realisticphish's thread, I've started this poll in GD:P

I would ask that if any of you know the real answer, you keep it to yourself for the next day or so. I would ask that if you know the theory of cognitive dissonance, and you understand where I'm going with this, you keep the poll kicked. Thanks!

1. Interesting

I do know the answer and it is quite relevant to several issues here! But I won't discuss it at present there, per instructions.

2. hmm

You will probably be able to find some good examples in that thread already.

3. Very intersting

I find the immediate knee-jerk responses very telling, also.

4. Yes, it was telling.

And a good reminder of why I haven't stepped inside GD-P in months.

I did like the Subgenius reply - "Been there..."

(i believe what happened to the cult leader (Ivan Stang) was that he was thrown naked into a small pond and jeered roundly and good-heartedly.)

5. Did you see the guy who's going to ignore the thread?

Out of all of the threads in GDP, this is the one he chooses to ignore? :rofl:

6. I saw that..funny

I also think its funny that even though you mentioned NEITHER candidate, you have supporters from both sides trying to claim use your thread as proof the other candidate is teh devil.....:rofl:

[Pale Blue Dot]

7. Yep. They're proving my point before I even make it. nt

8. I loved the one

where they were accusing you of claiming that being an "enthusiastic supporter" of a candidate is like being in a cult.

You can smell the defensiveness through the screen

9. That's not the only thing you can smell
