    Default Surveys

    I do hope this one will not turn into one that Vernon has to put down.

    We have a Feral erection due before the end of May, both sides are getting geared up for it, could get nasty.

    Today in our shopping center there was a guy asking shoppers for their comments on a number of subjects.

    I became one of them, much to his dismay i feel.

    It was mainly about the upcoming erection but not directly.

    Silly questions many of them.
    But some got him into a Terrible mess.

    'What is your opinion on the subject of climate change'

    Reply
    'Mate, the biggest con ever put on Joe public'
    By his expression not the answer he wanted.

    'Where do you get your news from'

    ;SBS mate, most reliable news source in the country, with world wide coverage'

    'Which social media sites do you use"

    'Non mate, load of crap'

    This had him in a mess.

    'But if you do not use social media how do you get your news or keep in touch with others"?

    'Simple, I use the phone, e mails or face to face, and as to news as i told you I use SBS, when I want social media type fairy stories I can read Enid Blyton'

    I left him with a very funny look on his face.
    Happy daze John in Oz.

    Hi John
    A few years ago my wife was stopped in Penrith by one of those survey people, who wanted to ask her opinion about some rubbish, she asked him how much she would be payed, he said nothing of cours, she said then I don't talk to you, my time is important to me.

    Some years ago, I was sitting outside in a shopping centre while the Mrs had a great time shopping. There were a group of TV people interviewing passers by, about how they felt about a certain event, this was right next to where I was sitting. They were from the BBC, and I heard everything said.
    Over an hour long observation, they must have stopped dozens of people, but only two ladies seemed to give the answer they wanted. I asked if I could be interviewed, they agreed, then I gave them my opinions. They said it would be on the 6pm news, so I got all excited and sat watching for it on the telly.
    They said that they'd interviewed many people, and everyone was agreeing with their "BBC" opinion, but all they showed was the two ladies that had given the right answers.
    So I don't believe much that I see on BBC news.

    That's the thing about these so called surveys , they can filter out , manipulate and adjust the interviewed reactions to come up with the
    reactions that they wish us to believe. Past masters of this black art are the BBC and our own Dutch NPO.

    It was always going to happen once the media became owned by multi billionaires. X & GB news are fine examples.

    Most surveys are set with answers in such a manner they get the answers the survey wants.

    Do not know why but I seem to get them contacting me on the phone. Wanting me to take some sort of survey. They get the same reply? NO. All that they are after is a name to put to their survey as I can imagine that person sitting down with a form with predermined answer boxs. All that they want is for you to tick each box to each question. How the feck can they expect a true survey. They do not they already have their desired outcome. Same response if out.
    That's the way the mop flops.

    My thanks to Brian for this site.

    in my opinion most surveys are just rubbish.
    In the end they take the average answer and say that is what was said.
