I thought a lot of them could use qualification in the answers. Like the Marijuana one, it's just a yes or no and I didn't want to choose either. I don't care if people want to sit in their basement and get high but I dont want it to be 100% legal, without restriction or regulation or anything.

Also, the ten commandments and such question. It said should things like that be allowed/posted in public. Well, allowed, yes. But mandatory in posting, no... leave it up to the municipality or whatever.

Just to prove that I don't have enough real work to do at the moment, I have created Dartgod's Planeteer Compatibilty Spreadsheet version 2.0

In this version, I have locked first column so when scrolling horizontally you can easily compare to your answers. I have also calculated the total number of answers that matched at the bottom of each column.

As you can see, Rainman and I have plenty to argue about, as we have only matched 9 of the 20 questions. My program proves that Rainman is clearly a dumbass.

Abortion - I said I'm against it unless fro Rape and Insest, You sad No, never. Again No Big deal.

Kinda a Weird.

Yeah, with the limitation on answers and exclusion of caveats, I figure there are a lot of phantom (or near-phantom) disagreements. Based on your previous posts, I'm not surprised we share a lot of common ground.

I think we might have gone to the same high school (Kearney, MO). I can't remember what gave me that impression.

You're getting closer to what I have in mind, but it would do the comparison for all respondents comprehensively. I can tell I'm going to waste a couple of hours in the wee hours of the morning entering data in your spreadsheet and then building the matrix

Yeah, I'm pretty much done with this because I really do have real work to do. Version 3 is pretty much your baby. Although I do claim rights to royalties.

How can a kid who is going to a fine institution like Mizzou (David.) be so wrong and a kid who is wasting time at a glorified day care center like KU (metrolike) be so right?

Based on this survey, I would have guessed that chiefs4me is a Bronco fan.

How is it possible that we agreed on 13 issues?

Wrong, plain wrong.
