Should I Sell Out?
I'm just wondering if I should give up on opinion polls that die after about thirty posts and aim to create one of those monstrous debate threads about how no one agrees with anyone else.
Because I could possibly create the most controversial opinion poll ever. Really. I could. I just need to put my mind to it. If I believe it I can achieve it. Like that one-legged puppy Strongbad once spoke of. So very heartwrenching. So very very heartwrenchingly heartwrenching.
Hmmm... I could just wait until I accidentally create a controversial thread...

honey i think you should go for it....blow us away!
*waits patiently*
Problem: How to create a thread that will blow NationStates away with controversy.
I mean, this forum has honest-to-God Nazis on it! How can I create daring new controversies when every possible controversial viewpoint has already been vehemently espoused?
This will require a great deal of thought... ::ponders::

Not nearly controversial enough.

How about something like:
"Should Jewish Nazi lesbians vote for George Bush before having abortions, or afterwards?"
I know I'll probably get LOADS of flack for this, but maybe that just makes my point better.
Whatever my point is.
I'm tired. I need to sleep.

LOL
If Paris Hilton was a genocidal maniac, would you still be sick of her asscrack?

You need to create a poll where the implication is so offensive that those that agree with it wouldn't choose it and the opposition wouldn't either. I haven't formed how this would work out yet, but it can be done, like
Republicans, cause babies should be eaten raw.
Democrats, because dinner babies should be free-range...
not there yet, but you see where I'm goin'.....

Pretty good, but you need to frame it more offensively.
Don't ask which is the favorite was , ask which one would be the Best . That way anyone who votes is tacitly admitting that genocide is sometimes good. And what is more that there are more to come.
Don't forget to add a few groups too that have not yet suffered.

if its something so offensive that promtpts the Mods to delete it-then it doesnt count. so you really have your work cut out for you now

I still think my Jewish Nazi lesbian one was pretty offensive.
Guess I'm easily shocked compared to the average NS'er
So, despite how offensive "Which minority group deserves to be exterminated the most?" would be, it probably wouldn't count because the mods would annihilate it real fast, right?

Maybe if you couched it in something like "Who has contributed the least to the betterment of mankind?"
That'll start a fight.

think of something that will bend our minds-not something offensive
OK... mind-bending, like...
If a rooster laid an egg while sitting atop a barn, how much would a pound of butter weigh: True or False?

As long as you can argue you position lucidly, the mods won't delete it. For example holocaust denial threads are okay, as long as you can make a good argument.
What you should say is that you believe that society is too multicultural or something in the poll explination, and therefore obviously a group should go, but you are not sure which one should be eliminated to make things better.
Hence the question, which genocide would be best?

True. How is that mind bending?
How about a poll,
"Are you a *insert something here* in a cage?
A: Yes
B: No - (*ISH* on the loose!)

This thread is his "controversial" thread, but I don't see how you're going to make it last 30 pages.
