Banshees Scream 110 Posted November 12, 2008 This will be the first poll I've created since April 9 2005. The curiosity is not viewing the health of those in the latest news headlines but viewing our own. Do we need to take a long hard look in the mirror? Let's remember that we are the people who observe the mortality of others. Does this teach us anything? Do we gain valuable knowledge on how to manage our lives or do we believe no disease can conquer us. I created this basic thread to gather a better understanding of who exactly we are and where we stand. The choices could be more expandable but select anything which is close. I sort of f**ked up "the first poll I created" so let's hope it works out a little differently this time. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Boudicca 702 Posted November 12, 2008 I sort of f**ked up "the first poll I created" so let's hope it works out a little differently this time. Was that the poll which only had one voting option? This is much better. I've decided to drink, smoke and live forever. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
To die for 3 Posted November 12, 2008 I can understand putting in "vegetarian" as a life-style choice that might contribute to health, but "naturalist"? If you meant "naturist", I still don't see how that would give you anything but hypothermia. I voted "drink, smoke, eat, never die", good poll! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Banshees Scream 110 Posted November 12, 2008 I can understand putting in "vegetarian" as a life-style choice that might contribute to health, but "naturalist"? I guess for some reason my assumption was that it was an actual term. It must have been late. I'll rephrase what I said with "natural life style" meaning "You only usually consume natural products and generally you try to avoid anything which is not organic". However, this doesn't mean you are a vegetarian. This life style choice should most likely lower the probability of developing various illnesses. The main reason people are sick revolves around what they put into their bodies. I actually try and follow this routine to an extent but I sort of break the rules. .

Typhoid Harry 23 Posted November 12, 2008 Answer: I do! Edit: The last two options are redundant. I suppose I could fix that... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

For fear of sounding like one of the spam posters advertising Amy Winehouse's shopping list... bon appetit!

deadtowrites 2 Posted November 12, 2008 This poll is utter codswallop. You can tick all the boxes at once, including contradictory statements, which naturally I did to prove my point. The results are completely meaningless. Technically if you expect to live for 50 years then you should live for 10-20 or 30-40 as well and tick those boxes too. God forbid if you only intend living for another 35 or 45 years. Just what is it that they are teaching pupils in school today. Un-be-lieve-able. I despair, I really do. Or should that be dispare, judging by the standards set. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Um execuuuuuse me, but the poll is intended to calculate the whole health situation of common posters here. What's meaningless is this your latest moan of nonesense. Any intelligent person would understand that "If you expect to live for fifty more years" you would only check that box and not all the others. It's not really rocket science. I'm sorry, I didn't know you needed special directions. If you want me to school you on the current mentality you have, I would say look up the definition for ignorance. Inform yourself.

Ok darling I bow to your insuperior knowledge, please do school me, I'd like to see what you have to share. The poll can calculate sh*t all seeing as the responses are not independent. Um execuuuuuse me but I ticked ALL the options, what don't you understand? Hence there is (at least) one person saying they excercise but they don't etc... The fact that people have ticked multiple boxes (and they have, even a simpleton could work that out from the overall number of voters compared to the scores), plus the fact some people may have nulled the vote renders this survey about as useful as a fair trade chocolate teapot sonny. You need to be able to correlate data. Stats 101 would tell you a separate question for each of the topics exercise/diet/life expectancy, whereby you could only answer once for each question, would be a step towards the answers you seek. In brief, it's Billy Bollocks and most people with half an O'level can work that out. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Banshees Scream 110 Posted November 12, 2008 First of all, I understand that you ticked every box and that's because you are an ignorant human being. I've already stated that. Second, only 12 members have voted at this point. The nature of this poll narrows down to me being able to trust that other members will be honest. Maybe I should review that opinion? Personally, I don't believe everyone is that irrational. According to you, everybody will vote with the same ridiculous approach you have. All I really gain from your complaint is a wake up call indicating that everybody votes like a fool. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
