Do You Approve Or Disapprove Of The Job George W. Bush Is Doing?

[quote name='Fr. Bruno' post='1578806' date='Jun 21 2008, 02:49 PM']Just a question to the initiator of this poll :
I noticed that " disapprove " appeared twice on the screen, but no way to vote " approve ".
Was this done on purpose ?[/quote]


Yes, it was done as a joke, it was created at the time that a thread exactly like it was made, except with both choices.

You know, I just noticed the double-disapprove, too...like literally 2 minutes ago


not kidding, either.

Lol, is it a really bad thing that I didn't notice?

[kujo]

I disapprove of this thread.

[JustJ]

I don't understand why.

Spending is up like crazy. We're in a war we really do not have any place being in. Our personal civil liberties are being attacked.

Bush is not doing a very good job as a true conservative and defender of the constitution.

I'm not saying a democrat would do better, but this guy is not doing a good job.

I disapprove of repeat threads.















Except this one.












Because I got to disapprove twice.

Also, I found it interesting that most people chose to click the 2nd disapprove instead of the 1st disapprove. What about the second one was more appealing?

















There should be a psychological study done on this.

Hm, I think that people are going by that one poem I use to say in grade school:


"First is the worst
Second is the best
Third is the one in the polka dot dress."

Hmm....I was always under the impression that the third was the one with the hairy chest. That was why I always ended up third...

I didn't read the first option until after I'd voted.

[kujo]

They clicked the second option because it is expected that the first should be "approve" and the second will be "disapprove." It's called analogical reasoning--we make assumptions based on prior experiences that something will be the same way.

Statistically speaking, there isn't *quite* enough evidence to conclude that it's anything more than a coincidence. Unless you are doing a double-tailed test.
