Questionnaire.

[Big King Sanctaphrax]

I'm studying how age affaects peoples attitudes to films, video games, etc, as part of my sociology coursework at GCSE. I thought a good way to get an unbiased sample would be to ask you guys to fill a questionnaire out. Oh, and don't worry about the last question;I don't need a discourse, really. Just a few words. Just underline the answers to the closed questions. Thanks in advance-

What are you views on the current conflict in Iraq?

I think it's a blatant manifestation of the current administration's imperialist spirit. I do not think that it strengthens our national security, and I think that the benefits from any possible natural resources acquired are offset by the costs of the conflict.




Thank-you for your time.

No

What are you views on the current conflict in Iraq?
That the reasons behind it are not the ones publicly portrayed by the people in charge, that there is no irrefutable link between Iraq and terrorism, and while removing sadam may be a good thing, there may be repercussions that we cant forsee. It also does nothing to alleviate the threat of terrorism is the west, in fact it probably exacerbates the problem.

No

What are you views on the current conflict in Iraq?
I supported the war at the time, and I still support it today. If Iraq becomes the first-ever Arab democracy (as I believe it will), it will be one of the greatest improvements to global geopolitics ever achieved by the U.S.

Quote[/b] ]What are you views on the current conflict in Iraq?

I think that the war in Iraq was an unfortunate but necessary step to secure peace and security for the people of the United States and its allies. I think that the region and the world are a much better place now that Saddamn is gone. Something needed to be done about the globally dangerous regime in Iraq, and I believe that because the U.N. was unwilling to enforce its own resolution the U.S. was forced to gather a coalition of its own allies and act as necessary.

GTAIII

Why? One aspect is to go on rampages, killing as many as possible. Another is senseless, random killing, like just running someone over for no reason.

Yes (all of us have a violent part that is exposed in some situations, just some more so than others)

What are you views on the current conflict in Iraq?

Glad Hussein is toppled, as he was a brutal dictator. Worried that the Bush Admin is not up to the task of rebuilding.


hope this works for you mate

Oopsies. Will restate the Iraq question.

[b]I think that the invasion was more than a little unfounded, but because of it the Middle-East has been moved towards stabilization and the 'new' Iraq should (Hopefully) become the democratic leader of the Middle-East.

Film: Natural Born Killers (most disturbing) / Cannibal Holocaust
Game: ... Maybe DOA Beach Volleyball

Why?
In Natural Born Killers, the way to murder is glorified and the whole make of the film is sick
In Cannibal Holocaust, its so real that the director was tried and had to show to the court the actors to prove that the acts of cannibalism were staged and not real. Its the most gruesome, sick and disturbing movie I've watched.

In DOA. With all that bouncing Im sure the girls would be so sore at the end of day that they cant move a muscle anymore

Saving Private Ryan

Why?
Because of the very realistic violence showed in it

What are you views on the current conflict in Iraq?
It is a good thing done in a bad way, and it may be motivated more by politics than by idealism.
