Most of those questions have pretty cut and dried answers, but some DUmmies are too stooooopid to know what to think without being told.

To say nothing of the majority just answering a certain way, in order to fondle the nutz of the mods, so they stay in their good grace and avoid a pizza!

Pathetic, but then we already knew that, didn't we?!

Judging by the responses, the populace of the island is flirting with decimation.  Lurkers and DU moles/trolls, how often must we tell you:  If you have the slightest inclination to rational or independent thought, DO NOT reply honestly on ANY DU poll, unless you just hanker for the taste of granite!
