Oh. And I did not ask about global warming specifically. It's a simple and general question this time.
triple post.
I don't want to ask about that issue directly. Being too specific ends with me putting words in peoples' mouths. I cannot say there is an issue or it ignores blind optimism, which I need to measure.
There's the underlying issue of overpopulation giving enough strain to develop global concern. The hidden question is how this strain will effect the world.
Well it's not the only question I'm asking, and this isn't the only place I'm asking also :P.
50-100 years is a long time, but I don't plan on planning my life with this survey. The goal is to monitor optimism/pessimism in the human population. Age and gender helps see if anyone is more effected, yet that is more of an extra rather than what I am mainly concerned with.
Just a part of university geopolitical research.
Do you think the outlook of the general (your own country/city/ect) public towards the environment will change radically in 50-100 years?
Simply write a number between (and including) 1 and 7.
1 = Nothing will change
2 - 3 = A minority will change their opinion, yet not enough to make a difference.
4 = Environmental Opinion will be mixed, with close to equal opinions eitherway.
5 - 6 = Environmental concern will tip the balance in the future among the people, yet its effect on those in power may not be enough.
7 = Great change will come within this century on global outlook.
First name, gender, and age is decent information, yet none is required.
Also, I need like 10 full data sets. Anyone know anywhere else that would have a varied populace of people who know a varied amount about the subject matter..... on the internet that i can use a message board to poll at?... would be helpful. I've gotten 2 here so far.

While I can understand your point in trying to make it less dull, many (most?) of the answers provided are worded in such a way to portray the most extreme viewpoints, which may alienate people with moderate opinions, and can also throw off your results.
By doing so, you directly measure the degree at which people believe industrialization of China has on the environment—the central point—rather than focusing on other aspects of industrialization that are of little relevance to the topic of overpopulation's effects on the environment.
I expect people to write their own answers, and use the examples to be aware of other opinions. The way you wrote it I'd fall asleep.
Anyway, industrialization has MUCH to do with Overpopulation. China is obviously highly populated, and if that many people all got around in cars, produced and consumed as much waste as industrialized nations.. it would be an Immense planetary crisis. Unbeknownst to the majority of people, the Industrialization of China is perhaps even the biggest problem in the minds of the true think-tanks on the issue.
The idea of NOT progressing is counter-culture and impedes rich from making money, which might be why you aren't aware of this.. but anyone who knows much about this issue WILL know of that problem with China.
Oh also if you could do one more thing... please rate this survey between 1-10.
You don't need to think too hard on the number. Just throw something out :P.
Any other comments about the survey in general would be nice.
That way if she says anything could have been done more 'professionally' I can say that the old ways are too dull to really stimulate the mind, and my kind of surveys engage the participant more... something to defend it so she doesn't take marks like a #$*(^%@(!

Women are Not treated as Sacred in terms of Christians. They went through great extent tearing down women for the sake of undermining Goddess worship, used biblical references to help force women to serve men, and do not allow them into positions of power. Maybe I'll make a thread once I find any of the books I had on that.
I wasn't horribly caring about the topic, it's mostly my girlfriend, but it's easy to see where the truth is. Hopefully I'll get back to you on it.

But knowledge over this issue will never change anything since the media controls information and what "sounds racist" will never be dealt with properly. So I'm not going digging for this stuff.
The numbers used weren't 5 or 10 people, lol. Environment issues should negate themselves at higher sample rates, and if not, then CLEARLY something needs to be done about the environment which IS causing them to be borderline retarded and making stupid decisions which thrust their murder rates up disproportionately.
Damn, sorry for triple post, won't happen again. Just didn't want to get into this, really.
But also, Blacks commit a 5000 murders annually in the States, and according to their population size this number SHOULD be around 750. The White numbers corresponded to their large population proportion. This data was taken from the FBIs database if you want to look it up yourself.
but yes, race has shown to cause other trends in abilities.
It isn't a ridiculous notion.

Yeah, need answers for this for my Adult Ed geography class.
Thanks.
First some basic info for the data (so she knows Im not making answers up or somethin' and knows the data isn't from one group)
You can also pick a choice that best suits your answer, and then write comments; if none suit your thoughts then write your own thing, and if a pre-made choice fits perfectly, just use that.
Age:
Sex:
Income:
Education Level:
1) Is Overpopulation a Problem?
a) Not at all! There's still global warming, terrorism, racism, world hunger, war, and cancer to deal with first. Must save the humans!
b) Yes, but technology will save us in time, easy, so it's not too big a deal.
c) Yes! It will be the end of us all!
d) Babymaking a problem? No way! It's what God wants!!
e) We can just terraform Mars. No biggie.
f) Other (please specify)
2) Visit the site http://www.churchofeuthanasia.org/

d) (answer b plus) ...and I think I will reduce or eliminate my baby-making.
e) Blasphemy! No!
f) Other
5) Overpopulation is a threat to global biodiversity, and following that, a threat to all life on the planet. If you consider yourself Environmentally Friendly (3a), and don't wish to deal with your child production (4e), how do you explain that hypocrisy in your beliefs? Does it bother you, or do you deep down realize that you don't care as much as you'd want people to believe, and you say you care for the environment just to be trendy?
a) It's true, I'm a hyprocritical intellectual-wannabe trend-whore. Shh.
b) The overpopulation problem is exhaggerated. Despite the immense amount of garbage each human life will create, by recycling and paying my taxes I'm doing everything I need to.
c) I said before I didn't really care.
d) Other
6) China Industrializing Is:
a) Ecological Doom
b) Whatever

d) Elimination of All Humans.
e) None! The president knows I deserve FREEDOM!
f) Other
8) "Let's say we had a bad one, and all the plants and animals died, and the earth was clicking hot for a hundred thousand years.

And after all those years, when the planet was no longer inhospitable, life would again spread over the planet", "The planet has survived everything in its time. It will certainly survive us" (Michael Crichton-Jurassic Park[Novel]).
Is the planet in danger, or just us?
a) Just because he made a movie doesn't make him right. Life is in danger.
b) Only human life is in danger.
c) Everythings OK.
d) As I said before, Maybe the planet will die, but we are invincible. (at least with space travel)
e) Other
9) Pollution from Overpopulation shows a future of "weedy" species (dandilions, pidgeons, seagulls, rats, cockroaches, ect.). Is such an undiverse environment worth environmental apathy, or does it make you want to care more? Is the possibiliy of genetically-engineered-to-toughen birdlife-for-the-sake-of-birdwatchers make it all right? (Hahaha)
a) Wee! Mechanical/Super seagulls!
b) Aww, life would be bland. We've gotta do something...
c) Survival of the fittest, baby.
d) Other
10) How do you feel about the use of genetic engineering on humans for future survival, or on economically friendly crops and animals (The Cows, Chickens, Fishies, ect.)?

b) I'm just worried we'll fuck it up and our creations will kill us somehow.
c) Knowledge is power and Technology is the excersize of this power. Lets go for it.
d) Maybe we should make our world naturally hospitable rather than changing DNA.
e) Other

...... This is probably the most well-backed opinion on Iraq I've seen, and I agree that the fact that most pro-war people don't know who the enemy is, is scary... but the thing is, that's how the government wants it to be. I was going to comment on that myself, but, you beat me to it =P.
To actually add something though, I'd just like to say that the entire world is looking like a really scary place right now. The US government has been killing for money, expansion, and power for a long time now... and right now, for the most part; the people that have the power either agree with all of this, or can't/won't do anything to stop it.
Greed is escalating death and danger to new levels as technology increases, and all I see for the future of this planet is death. It's a scary scary thing and I don't know what I can do to stop it... for now I'll just try spreading more informed opinions on situations like this and hope someone grows up a little more knowledge and stops (impossible, slow is the word I am looking for) this raging insanity.
We're the saddest race in existance; not only do we rape the planet, we rape eachother. There are NO positives to this type of action. We may have benefits and power now, but in the end we are really only depriving ourselves (not to mention the earth, but that is a different topic).
XJUDGEX stuff
Sure, there probably were times where better arguements were brought up but, so what? Don't be rushing to make everyone realize how great you/others are, when we see it, we thank you for it.. that should be good enough. Those who should know you, and who's opinions matter/are backed up usually will =P... Ninja did a waaaaayyy better job than many of the posts that cloud newgrounds up daily, so I am pleased.. I don't care if there was better.

HAHAHA.. That's total government-issued bullshit! There is not a god-damned thing in weed that makes you spontaneusly crave other drugs. It has NOTHING to do with it! It's simply that most people who smoke pot, happen to have friends who do other drugs too. NOTHING to do with pot, and everything to do with that with any illegal drugs usually there's others nearby.

Well, I don't think he thinks that ALL priests are happy. His words betray the strength of his belief in the thing. Or that's what I think he thinks. Just looked like half a joke y'know... "Ha. Those priest rapist must be happy no one is looking at them now". Indirectly draws our attention back to the incident.... For about 20 seconds. Bye bye Priests until someone else mentions you.
Think of it this way... Christmas and Easter Catholics. They pretend they're religious by going then, but they are simply liars. Showing faith when it's convenient. THAT is exactly what basic American opinion is. =P

Well you gotta realize that many people have jobs, family lives, dates, trips... Basically we're all to busy with our days to do anything or really care about anything.
We see the news of the war on Iraq, sympathize with one viewpoint or another, ignore it, and continue on our days.. maybe blab what you think to a friend or two, but face it.. We're too busy with nothing to do anything.

Hm. Lets actually look at this one, usually I ignore this *evil grin* ^_^. So, even though I personally don't like something, others might so I shouldn't say anything? He's the president and if you don't like it, shut up and go "somwhere else" (disregarding the fact that this is the internet, not America)?

Heard this one many times before. Yeah, go for it. Much less deadly than cigarettes and alcohol. One is long term death without the funky ups of pot, the other involves fights to the death, alcohol poisoning, drunk driving... But they're both tradition *shrug* Might as well keep going... f33d the economic machine of capitalism.
