Nice twist on a headline with your subject line. Didn't notice the part of the article that stated "Viewers of

All of you idiots need to realize you are arguing over what is probably someone's doctoral thesis.
The population of New Jersey (which is who the poll is talking about, not the entire US) is 8,791,894. Undergrad enrollment at F-D is 8900. Coincidence? I doubt it. But what I doubt more is that the publishers of this poll left the campus to take it. 612???? Out of almost 9 million people to chose from? And my goodness but they went all out over Snookie with 711. I suppose that's bigger news up that way actually.

Everyone wants to be right and no one wants to be wrong......understood.
But to base an argument on a college newsletter just to prove yourself superior to others?
Might want to rethink that strategy.
This was a decided outcome with handpicked information to back it up...........you know....like a thesis?
