1. Uhhhh... I don't understand your poll. It does not mean I am not interested. I just don't get it.

9. Well......
If you find a Boojatta poll that you indeed do understand, please let the rest of us know......I have yet to find one.

They do make me laugh and shake my head though.

2. I am not at all interested in this thread.
:)

It is a wonder why people will kick and keep alive threads that they are interested in or opposed to. I like this one, because it is the first Boojatta I have ever understood.

5. You can be simultaneously interested in some idea and opposed to it.

In fact, you can make money that way: sell stock short if not only do you oppose the ideas of the managers at the company, but you are also confident that the ideas being implemented by them will soon cause a drop in the stock price.
