I call BS

I'm always dubious about polls. This is one of the times my dubiousness may have some foundation to it. A new poll says 92% of American's consider themselves "happy." I call bullshit on that poll. There's no way they consider themselves happy.

First, the poll was conducted during the farking holidays. That alone disqualifies the damn thing.

Second, most people are not going to tell a stranger calling them their lives are shitty, shitty, shitty.

The poll is not only dubious, however, it's also moronic. It shows the sheer selfishness of the American body politic, who is so self-obsessed that all they give a damn about is themselves to define their happiness. How about looking at world, look at what is happening in Iraq/Pakistan/Afghanistan. More of a reason to disbelieve this poll. Millions of people are over in Iraq, or know someone close who is, and they still claim themselves to be "happy." PLEASE! GO FUCK YOURSELF. Happy fuck-New Year!
