Should we LIE to Pollsters?

Partly to protect our privacy, but mostly a little non violent demonstration against how the elite are running the place. Why not gum up the works?

Maybe this is why so many political polls are turning out so wrong.

[+3] - Kolyo - 05/13/2015No. You want your side to win a poll. A lot of people figure out how to think based on what the herd is doing, and your poll answer is your chance to tell them how to think.

Factually, the premise of this post is incorrect.

Most reputable polls are remarkably accurate. Only a couple have been wrong.

Keeping in mind that my main argument is that we should lie, that we already do was more a question.

If everyone in favor of gun control tells the truth to pollsters, and everyone who is against gun control lies to pollsters... doesn't this help people who are in favor of gun control make their case?

This is one case where telling the truth is to your advantage.

I have bigger fish to fry. The Elite needs to see a shot across the bow.

I guess that starts to fall apart when you first have to have a land line before you can even answer most polls.

Should people lie about having a land line to pollsters? If yes, then they won't be included in polls. If no, then they have started by not lying to pollsters.

@parados,

I just dont take polls because most of them are worded so they get the answers they want.

The elite that I want to nail to the wall are those with power who dont believe in equality, and normally believe that they can run my life better than I can. It has nothing to do with me. THe nice thing about being Zen is that I dont feel the need to make every thread about Hawkeye as you all do.

Why would I lie to the Polish? They brought those tasty Kielbasa, and that lively Polka music?

So , still, youve defined "Elites " as those who are in your face and wanting to "run your life"

If I come into your restaurant can I get my eggs and potatoes fried in Lard?
