This thread is NOT a debating thread, it is NOT a thread for opinion of ANY sort. I ONLY want facts. Please only post facts. If you have an opinion you want to voice, voice it in one of the other thirteen threads about this subject. Mods, if you'd be so kind to keep the thread as clean as possible? I'd much appreciate it. Okay, here's the deal. I'm going to collect the following data and make a pretty chart later. So, if you would be so kind, simply state the following: Age: Location: Social Status (poverty, low-mid, mid, high-mid, high, based soley on household income, not your "classy style" ): Sex (m/f?): Occupation: If you work anything other than 40 hrs/week, please state how many hrs: Spouse/child/parent Occupation: Hours spuse/child/parents work per week: Do you smoke?: Drink?: Do you condone legalization of currently illicit drugs?: Finally, who do you want to be the next President of the United States of America? If you do not quote the above list, please list your answers in order. If you omit any answer because you are uncomfortable giving out that information, please list "none" or "no disclosure" or something of that sort so I can easily see that you omitted that question. If you think another question should be on the list for data collecting purposes, please PM me instead of leaving it in your message here. I'd like to keep the thread as easy to read as possible when I go to make my chart. Thanks! Ubermich (P.S. Special thanks to Dad for the idea) Edit: clarified the "same for spouse/parent/child/ect" as it appears to have confused a few.
