What are these people thinking?

[_Jumper_]

What are people that "mostly agree" thinking? What is their hangup?

1. human nature

[_Jumper_]

6. How so

Please elucidate.

[camero]

2. lol

Dunno. Maybe "As long as it's not my daughter"?

:shrug:

[_Jumper_]

7. LMAO!

That is probabaly it!

3. Well, it is a "technically correct" answer.

I know a lot of people who would never answer "completely agree" to any question.

Even to a question with an obvious answer.

Like the one above.

Though I'm sure that doesn't account for everybody who answered "mostly agree".

4. I guess it's like being mostly pregnant!

5. It's so small I can hardly read it

but my guess is the blue indicates liberals and the pink indicates conservatives.

8. It is a question about interracial dating

People in blue completely support it while the others "mostly" support it.

9. The chart doesn't make sense

What's it supposed to add up to? 75 plus 43 equals 118. And that's not counting the "no" votes. ???

[_Jumper_]

11. 75% is the combined total

So 32% "mostly agree".

[donco6]

14. Oh, I see now.

I wonder if the "mostly"s have an objection to a specific race or another - i.e., "I'd let my daughter date a black guy, but those Asians . . . "

Or something equally stupid.

10. a very common technique in surveys

acknowledges the reality that people have different degrees of certainty about their opinions.

[_Jumper_]

12. Right

I am curious as to what their minor hangup is.

[liberalhistorian]

13. A better question would be

why the hell should we even care what people in general think of something so personal for people as this? What the hell business is it of anyone else who perfect strangers date, anyway? And why should the general public have the right to butt their noses in someone else's business, it's none of their damn concern.

15. Touche! eom
