A loaded question.  What does it mean?  Way too vague for most people
to answer.  For example, do you mean that men should have the right to
use the womens' bathroom?  Or that they *should* use the womens'
bathroom?  Or does that not apply here, and why not?

>2.) Are you pro choice?

Seems a bit oversimplified, but I guess it can be answered at least.

>3.) Are you in favor of adoption?

Here's another totally vague question.

>rights and responsibilities before fetal viability?

And another.

>5.) What sex are you?

>7.) What religion are you?

Well, at least these can be answered.  Although, lumping all
non-Demopublicans into one group, and all non-Judeo/Christians into
one group, etc., also seems to be an oversimplification.

Overall, one of the most flawed surveys I have ever encountered.
Which leaves one final question... what connection does any of this
have with BASIC?  What's it doing on alt.lang.basic?  Was this the
mistake of a clueless beginner who never read news.announce.newusers,
or the inconsiderate act of someone who knows better?

Now, where does this thread belong, anyway?
