given the well known reliability of statistics and opinion polls - especially those quoted by such respected sources as the onion (and some others which i won't mention because of the fear of being pounced on) i have decided to do away with all that polling, surveying nonsense and basically, erm, make some up (won't make any difference really). so here goes, breaking news:
MYLOT STATISTICS
0.001% of mylotters have called another user a poo-related word.
35% of mylotters posting in politics have called another user a poo-related word.
0.5% of mylotters negatively rate people simply because they don't like them
40% of politics posters neg away
35% of the people posting in religion have called another user an ambassador for satan.
6% of mylotters clearly have only one interest
60% of politics posters clearly have only one interest
78% of politics posters have been known to lose their tempers
80% of users in religion do not believe that anybody except them and their mams knows the Truth
48% of users in politics thinks the other side are stupid
40% of users in politics regularly points this out.
99.99% of all users avoid politics and religion for the above reasons
ok getting bored now. hope these irrefutable figures make you think.

Hi jb, very glad to see you posted this in pe and not in politics so none of your points can be proven. Personally I never go into politics as opinions from across the pond tend to be ignored, plus for all of the above reasons. I'm really happy though that your incredibly popular pe section for satire has taken off so well.and the no ranting rule has been adhered to.

What great statistics...and I'm sure very well researched, um, before you made them up! I wouldn't be surprised if you weren't pretty much right on point with some of them.

I am just curious as to what your margin of error is on these statistics.....something like + or - 99% LoL
Cute though...certainly gave me a chuckle...and i would almost have to agree with most of it...
