Saddam execution

[w¡n9Nµ7 §£@¥€r 123]

Why is this set up as a multiple choice poll? Do you really think there will be people who think Saddam both did and did not get a fair trial?

This question obviously shows your incompitence level. There is two answers to the question YES or NO. Did'nt your mother teach you to think before you speak.

lol. Multiple choice means being allowed to pick more than one answer

And it's spelled incompetence. Try the spellcheck next time, retard.

Are you joking!!!

Multiple choice means there is more than one answer to pick from YOU RETARD. You can only pick one answer.

Who cares where Saddam was tried, we all know that he did it.... The soldiers that found him should have shot him in the whole that the ###### was hidding in. He got what he deserved. I think that his life for the thousands of lives that he took is a fair deal.

That may be correct in normal circumstances, but not here. When you create a poll, there is an option to make it multiple choice, as in a person can choose multiple answers to any given question. The "regular" poll restricts you to choosing only one answer.

I asked two simple questions. There is two answers to choose from per question, thats it. TWO ANSWERS TO CHOOSE FROM.

Multiple choice means exactly that MULTIPLE CHOICE, you get to choose your answer from the multiple options provided, in this case YES or NO. One answer not 3 or 4.

So why did you ask for other opinions if you don't like what is being offered....?

I think there is sufficient question over whether he received a fair trial to call into question its fairness. Fairness not only to him, but to the thousands of other victims who will probably never get their day in court to bear witness to the atrocities committed against them and their relatives.

Therefore I think it was certainly "wrong" to execute Saddam on the basis of such a trial. Like it or not that execution said as much about the state of government and justice in Iraq as it did about Sadaam Hussein. Execution with some sense of respect can at least be called justice. As it happened, this execution seemed like vengeance at best, a lynching at worst.

and for the record, I object to the use of the word retard in this thread.

Gupt's point was that the way the poll is set up, you can choose either or both answers to each question; you can choose both "yes" and "no" at the same time. This is what makes it multiple choice. A yes or no question should only have the possibility of answering "yes" or "no," but not both. There is a different kind of poll set-up for that, which uses "radio" buttons, the kind where only one answer at a time may be chosen.

I only asked for people to answer YES or NO to each question. ONE answer for each, its really easy to do. You select YES or NO. OMG I would hate to ask questions about rocket science.

Oh and for the record Saddam didnt deserve a fair trial because FAIR isnt and has never been in that idiot's vocab!!! However the trial was adhered to under Iraq law not US law. So all the U.S. haters on this thread should learn real quick to be more supportive of the country that they are trying to immigrate to.

OK you didn't like Saddam - who did...?

I see also that you can't reconcile your emotional response towards Saddam with the unemotional/impartial concept of "due process"? Let me ask you this - do you think "due process" is only in Saddam's interest? Saddam was executed for the deaths of 148 people - who do you think will be held to account to the tens of thousands of others he was never held accountable for? Due you seriously think that Saddam, and a half dozen "old men" massacred thousands of Iraqis with their own hands?

As to the question of U.S. haters - YAWN.

Well I expect nothing else from a person with your veiws except a Yawn. Its the only intelligent thing that you have to say.

Those half a dozen 'old men' were quite powerful younger men at the time they ordered the innocent to be murdered. Saddam Hussien has had a hand in 100's of deaths for which there is no recoverable evidence to tie him to.

Im not saying that we can catch every peace of sh it that has killed in Iraq, but he can and is the poster boy for all the killers that acted out his orders.

Im not going to try and get you to agree with me, that wont happen. I will however correct you over the poo that you are speaking in relation to Saddam's conviction and execution.

Well apparently there are with the near50-50 split on both questions. But how would it be a poll if you only had one choice? I see it more as a true/false then multiple choice. Makes sense to me...but then I'm weird...just ask the mena crew like Jenn.

[LaL 418]

being that its a *pick all that apply* poll, I chose all possible answers

[Jenn! 918]

Ok, I think that everyone that doesn't understand what people are saying about the the multiple choice thing should go and try to set up a poll. Note the box when it asks you to enter the various choices. If you check that box (enabling multiple choice), the user can select all answers that apply. Such a poll question might be, "Which of the following foods do you like?" The user can choose more than one answer. If that box is not checked, the user can only select one answer. That is what one would normally use for a question with a yes or no answer. Please just go try it!

Sigh.

nope, i got it perfectly, the poll-maker didnt get what people were saying when the words *multiple choice* came into play. You got the point though, you can choose multiple answers. I was just bein a smartie based on the previous misunderstanding.
