    Just wondering. How many of these statistics were made up to satisfy your ego?

    79% of people agree with this statement.

    Umm.. First of all.. where are you getting 79% from? which survey are you talking about…

    in any case, we didn’t make any of these up. and for the obama poll, you weren’t allowed to double vote (the program wouldn’t let you). we have proof for the word week survey if you want to see them. we still have all the word week surveys.

    Chao, I don’t understand why you are being so negative.

    you just keep finding things to twist around and i mean it’s really unfair to say that they made the stats up.
    it says right there that only 158 people took part. obviously it’s probably not a fair representation of the student population, but they probably only did the survey in the first place so they can know what to improve on and what some people DO think. and this is for people who GO to windermere, why would their ego have anything to do with it? again, cynicism.
