Serious guys, this is the most hilarious topic I've had in a while!

In this you see the people who do what they're told, and others who want to rebel and click 'yes'.

I should've asked the question different; "click yes".

I mean, the most funniest comments are the ones trying to figure out where this topic is heading to, and honestly I didn't really started it with anything in mind, other than seeing people's respond to a topic that does not make sense!

I had a great laugh, so to me it was worth, and plus, I got some extra karma too lol...

Besides, one could just click 'yes',and at the same time not give any karma.

By saying I collected ' no's ', I knew many would be tempted to choose for the opposite.
But if you chose for the opposite, the text said you'd have to give karma, which many didn't want to do.
So some probably preferred 'no',while others still chose 'yes', and gave karma.
Still a few chose yes, without giving Karma. (the rebellious ones ) hehe.

I think one can learn more about one's self here; like if one's obedient or not.
And since this poll is anonymous, noone but yourself can see the result of your own vote.

The funniest where the ones who didn't want to vote for 'no', but upon thinking thought I knew about their efforts,and refused to be 'tricked' into choosing yes.
So they chose to follow along the poll by choosing 'no', choosing to rebel against what they believed they would be tricked into choosing ("yes" in this case).


But for truth, I had no further meaning into this poll, but to see how you all would respond to it. And it was funny.

Ow, and Zelda, if you still didn't vote, it's not like you where going to sign up to sell your soul to the devil or so.. I mean, everyone had the right to do what they thought was (or is) right.

Thanks guys for your answers!

This was not an easy decision. Not remotely. Because montsnmags comes from Australia, as everyone knows. And Australia is entirely peopled with criminals. And criminals are used to having people not trust them, as he is not trusted by me. So I can clearly not choose the same option as him.

And he must have suspected I would have known his origin, so I can clearly not choose the option opposite to his.

Oh what a pickle...

Now, now, that's a wildly inaccurate perception, usually perpetrated by royalists and New Zealanders. Australia was declared terra nullius early on its European industry, but we've come a long way since then, 200 years later having been able to declare to the indigenous folk, "Yeah, sorry 'bout that whole pretending you don't exist and trying to make it so genocide-style. Our bad", and it's all better now. So, while most of the Australian population are, indeed, criminals, who would sell their grandmas for dog meat, or their citizenship to become multimedia, multinational megalomaniacs (yeah, I'm looking at you, Murdoch, ya bastiche...wanna fight about it, ya mug?), I would offer that the indigenous of Australia earn a Catholic Blessed Virgin Mary "without sin" presumption, at least those that aren't my brother-out-law and ate the last of the toffee-icecream the other day.

I've never heard of Kool-Aid pickles, but my Grandma made red pickles. They were a family favorite. The red color came from Red Hot candies. I know that sounds almost as odd as using Kool-Aid, but these pickles tasted cinnamony, like spiced apple rings.
