Show of Hands

After the obesity poll I think it's safe to say that I'm sufficiently disgusted.

Negative. I didn't know how bad our politics were before SOH. There's no hope for us. I'm ready for state secession.

On user polls things seem so much more civil.
On Soh polls shit gets out of hand quickly.

I cannot wait until all the High School Children get out into the real world and find out what it's like to earn a living, pay taxes, create jobs, meet payrolls, pay more taxes have a family. That's when I would love to have a conversation with them.

Six of one, half dozen of the other. Some people here are so brazenly moronic I'm amazed they haven't eaten the silica packets that come in electronics. But then some are so intelligent and articulate that I'm awed.

Generally positive. There are obviously some negatives, but the good outweigh the bad or else I wouldn't be here.

Very positive.

Good. There's some smart folks on SOH.

Hate em. Hate em all. I just participate so attractive women will talk to me.

In terms of reading the content of comments, very, very negative as of late.
But there's so many awesome and intelligent people on here, which is why I can't get myself to leave.

Positive, because there are good people here and because I know the fringe element that seems so strong here is in fact not mainstream. Knowing that much of what is said by some here would horrify most Americans is reaffirming, in an odd way.

Usually more negative, which you wouldn't think is possible. It's not everyone or always, but it is the majority.

You all need Prozac!!! Bunch of bed wetting cry.............. Oh wait, most of you people are ok...... I guess. :).

SOH gives me hope for humanity than twitter does.

Both really, but overall positive. Most if the folks are nice and civil to each other, and are upfront and honest with each other. There are radicals and morons here, but that's life. Overall it's a positive or I/we wouldn't keep coming back. And

It REALLY gives me hope for the younger generation, but sadly reinforces the idea of being old and intractable.

I know many more open minded people on here than I know in real life. And more people who care about things that actually matter.

I would say that generally my reactions to comments are negative. Social conservatives are particularly verbal here (a group who I tend to be disappointed in) and it seems every group has members incapable of engaging in a skilled debate.

All types of ways. Mostly positive, some bad, a couple alarming.

Verbal abuse of another user is always a negative for me, but I do find that most users show a decent amount of respect for others.

I guess positive in general, I've learned so much here, but some of the serial contrarians can be draining. It is disappointing to see some of the arguments against things like the Coke commercial that should just not be. Oh well, it's 'Murica.

Depends on the user.

Pure curiosity here. my mom was asking why i use the app if I get so heated..but I find I feel more positive about my interactions with the people here.

I feel positive when reading debates.
Every one of us are different and have different thoughts. Coming together and sharing/debating our thoughts, is a wonderful thing. Even the most heated debates, energize me. And, they often make me laugh ;))

For the most part I think it is positive, But when the idiots are out in force, It gets real bad real quick.

More often - than +. But there are days when I go to bed feeling pretty good about humanity because of SoH.

It's more certain users that make me feel negative... not polls and their comments themselves.

Split as hell on this one.
