5. Badly worded poll: will Live Earth "make you think" about climate change?
I would think the answer would be "yes" for even folks like Jurassic James Inhofe, who would hear about live earth and think "GLOBAL WARMING IS THE BIGGEST HOAX PULLED ON AMERICA SINCE NASA STAGED THE MOON LANDING!!!!".

You'd only vote "no" if hearing about global warming in the news made you roll your eyes and say "Booooooorrrrrrrr... ing."

Badly worded poll.

2. Done. But it may not be so bad...

I mean I saw your point and voted it up, but without hearing your point I could just as easily see that pic of Madonna and vote it down, because celebs sometimes annoy me... :)

3. This is a bad poll because you can vote as often as you like
So if you have a lot of time on your hands you can challenge the one or two freepers who vote on this poll site, (often). Go ahead, re-skew the poll to favor our point of view if you like. I did that once in a poll a couple of weeks ago in-regards to gay marriage. Freeps had voted it down and someone here had called for us to DU it. I voted in it then came back here, posted the tally and went back in and voted again...and again and again...x about 50 times before I felt that a game of marbles would be a better use of my time. Go ahead, vote it up a few times to amuse yourselves but trust me...unlike freepers you'll likely get bored with this one rapidly too.

A more productive time could be spent on contacting the host of this poll and pointing this problem out... who knows, they may even care to quote a non-rigged poll at some point in their future.
:patriot:
