Another Aljazeera Freep

[FormerlyAnotherLurker]

Aljazeera is running the same poll as yesterday. "Is the world a safer place since the "War on Terror" was launched?"

A while ago yes was at 21%, it's now up to 30%.

If you block their cookie you may vote multiple times. Just pretend you're from Chicago.

Vote early, Vote often

A bunch of Freepers managed to virtually turn the results around from their previous polls so the webmaster may be attempting to figure out what happened yesterday. That, or he's lazy.

BTTT.

Seriously, we could take over that site. Just visit it all the time and vote in their polls. Currently we are losing, but not insurmmountably.

*BUMP

[Ex-Dem]

Not bad, up to 40%. Too bad today's a Sunday or it'd be moving up faster.

[Rain-maker]

Site went down while I was voting...LOL.

[liberte]

Freeped ... voted at least 20 times. Come on everyone, it won't take many of us to turn this in the right direction (only ~2800 total votes thus far).

When I vote yes, I get the following:

There we go :).

a) Yes :
49%
b) No :
48%
c) Not sure :
3%

(Hint: Setting the choice to "Yes" and then putting something heavy on your Enter key works wonders...)

[FormerlyAnotherLurker]

COOL!

I just vote, "alt-leftarrow";
Only that box and the stock one reload so it's about a second on dial-up and not reloading the whole page.

Truthfully - I'm not voting, I just "hired" a niece to do it in a separate window while she surfs. One pizza - reasonable price though I could use a freeware I have to automate the Freeping.

[Ex-Dem]

It gave me that message tons of times. Just keeping trying and your vote will eventually get through.

[Rain-maker]

refresh and try again, just means the gateway is getting overloaded from a Freeper assault...LOL

[Rain-maker]

a) Yes :
 52%
b) No :
 46%
c) Not sure :
 2%

[RippinGood]

Thanks all. In fact, I should have made my original message clear that I had indeed played the "Chicago advantage" a few times before I saw this message.

and remember:
"The policeman isn’t there to create disorder; the policeman is there to preserve disorder" RJ Daley

[Rain-maker]

a) Yes :
53%

Darn!

I was just about to post that. Had just clicked on "Preview," went back and reloaded the thread - Too Late.

Thanks, LOL!

[Ex-Dem]

HUH??? Have you gone completely schizoid?

[FormerlyAnotherLurker]

Nope, just took too long looking up the quote.

[FormerlyAnotherLurker]

AND, obviously, was so pissed at my own sloth, I neglected to mention the d_mn quote in the first place. I must be tired.
