I clicked yes because a poll like that is a terrible way to run a poll if you think that's a good way to gauge public views on a matter... sad times for the illusion of democracy or a vote.

Do you like Tim
[ ] Yes
[ ] No I'm a dribbling idiot who likes a moron

See how the above isn't a way to ask a question of a user? you are stacking the odds on a user clicking the option which doesn't attack either them or the reason behind clicking the option they feel is right, if you want to load reasons for an option being right into something then do it in the OP and educate people why your thoughts on the matter are valid.

Because there only is one option. If you believe it's good to put the country behind, ruin the planet, and avoid better methods of obtaining energy -then, I'm sorry, the person is stupid. As stupid as the less than human animals that deny climate change. 

No point putting the poll/thread then if you don't want to possibly hear someone bring up their side of a matter, you just want to bang out what you think and include "anyone that thinks otherwise is stupid" Doesn't invite discussion when you come into something with that mindset.

Maybe you just wanted to use the thread as a soapbox to stand on and shout about something, that's fine, but you have to understand that if you start a debate with the pretense that anyone who would debate against you is stupid, then people aren't going to really bother.

(I'm not just talking about this thread in the slightest btw, I couldn't care less about the EPA or will not lose sleep about someone leaving the Clean Power Plan simply because what goes on there is decided by billionaire business's which fund the people in Government, I'm just saying in general, open discussion doesn't happen with a put down of one side before the word "discuss" comes out)
