I try to ignore them
But I must admit to rising to the bait from time to time.
They always bring out the worst in me.

But occasionally
Just from time to time
They actually write something sensible and illuminating.

Even the truly stupid occasionally say something worth hearing.

Quote:
Go placidly amid the noise and the haste, and remember what peace there may be in silence. As far as possible, without surrender, be on good terms with all persons.
Speak your truth quietly and clearly; and listen to others, even to the dull and the ignorant; they too have their story.

Avoid loud and aggressive persons; they are vexatious to the spirit. If you compare yourself with others, you may become vain or bitter, for always there will be greater and lesser persons than yourself.

Enjoy your achievements as well as your plans. Keep interested in your own career, however humble; it is a real possession in the changing fortunes of time.

Exercise caution in your business affairs, for the world is full of trickery. But let this not blind you to what virtue there is; many persons strive for high ideals, and everywhere life is full of heroism.

Be yourself. Especially, do not feign affection. Neither be cynical about love; for in the face of all aridity and disenchantment it is as perennial as the grass.

Take kindly the counsel of the years, gracefully surrendering the things of youth.

Nurture strength of spirit to shield you in sudden misfortune. But do not distress yourself with dark imaginings. Many fears are born of fatigue and loneliness.

Beyond a wholesome discipline, be gentle with yourself. You are a child of the universe no less than the trees and the stars; you have a right to be here.

And whether or not it is clear to you, no doubt the universe is unfolding as it should. Therefore be at peace with God, whatever you conceive Him to be. And whatever your labors and aspirations, in the noisy confusion of life, keep peace in your soul. With all its sham, drudgery and broken dreams, it is still a beautiful world. Be cheerful. Strive to be happy.

There is absolutely no meaning to any polls on Ozpol.
For a start this forum does seem to attract the loony fringe element so it isn't a valid cross section of the Australian community.

Polls on HERE are absolutely worthless. The sample set is only a hundred or so of which maybe 10-15 will be involved at best.

But real polls out there in the real world run by real pollsters??? VERY VERY  important.

Living in a politically diverse community
I have seen many polls
Each one structured or written to achieve a specific result

Polls also target specific groups to achieve a known result.
IE
Labour polls in labour areas
Liberal in liberal areas

Ie;
How badly has labour done in your area?

Would you rate Labour's failure as
1) very bad
2) bad
3) not good
4) not as bad as it might have been.

Questions that are weighted to achieve a specific negative result against labour

Reported as
Labour was rated as bad in 40% of respondents and not good or bad in 60%

Polls aren't worth the paper they are printed on

You know nothing about polling. Not a thing. But at least you are consistent in knowing little about almost every topic.
