WTF? The correct answer isn't even listed.
-
This is crazy. It's still 2057, right? WTF.
-
The fourth button is the correct answer.
-
Do we get to see the "results" of this "survey"?
-
Who the hell reads the Christian Science Monitor?
-
It's one of the only news sources I trust.
-
According to this, there is no correct answer. You just need to click one of them.
-
Any fule kno it's 4713, the year of the Sheep.
You want multiple choice, there's always this:
-
The chair does not belong, it's inanimate. The hen does not belong, she has two legs. The pig does not belong, it's fat. The cow does not belong--in a house.
-
Pig
Chicken
Chair
CowPig doesn't belong cuz it starts with P
-
which one does not belong?
The chicken is the shortest, so it is the least belong.
-
You can't sit on a chicken without harming it.
-
Pig
Chicken
Chair
CowPig doesn't belong cuz it starts with P
Nope, a chicken because it doesn't have 4 legs.
Or the cow, because it's the only one that has no sane way of telling it doesn't belong. So it's the only one who does belong, so it doesn't belong. Easy, right?
-
Given the site that’s asking this, shouldn’t the correct answer be [url=https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Biblical_literalist_chronology]somewhere around the year 6000[/url]?
-
The pig does not belong. It never does. Because pigs are always more equal than others.
Filed under: If you bastards can pull Clockwork Orange on stuff all the time, I'm allowed this one
-
The cow does not belong because there was no cow involved in any way with my breakfast this morning.
-
The cow does not belong--in a house.
The cow does not belong because it is the only one that is black and white.
-
Blue and white, surely?
-
Thanks. Hanzo'd…
-
The cow does not belong because it is the only one that is black and white
Well, maybe because it is spotted. But the others aren't all the same color.
-
The cow does not belong because swine, chair and chook all have five letters.
-
The Christian Science Monitor has nothing to do with Christianity. Maybe spend 59 nanoseconds educating yourself before embarrassing yourself by spewing ignorance?
But thank you for not posting any retard jokes about that dumbshit image with the chair and cow.
-
Well, you are wrong.
From http://www.csmonitor.com/About:Since 1908, we have been published as a public service by The First Church of Christ, Scientist. For more information, see our FAQ section below.
That paragraph contains a link to a website of an organization that claims to be a christian church.
Could be hacked or something, for all I know.
-
Nevertheless, they have a very good reputation as a newspaper. Definitely viewed as independent of Christian Scientist beliefs.
-
It was founded by a church. It is not a Christian publication.
It's also the ONLY paper I'm aware of that hasn't had a scandal involving a reporter making up stuff about events he wasn't present at, hasn't literally forged documents about Presidential candidates and reported on them as if they were genuine, don't use sensationalist headlines (although they've been getting worse about that one recently), haven't spend literally hours reporting on obviously made-up news stories like the child "trapped in a blimp", etc.
Basically, it's the highest quality journalism you get in the US currently.
Where the heck do you get your news?
Definitely viewed as independent of Christian Scientist beliefs.
They aren't "viewed as" independent, they are independent and have been as long as I've been reading them.
-
They aren't "viewed as" independent, they are independent and have been as long as I've been reading them.
I wouldn't say that they are independent, since they're owned by the church. The church stays out of editorial stuff, but being owned makes them not truly independent, which is why I said what I said.
-
What the fuck ever.
The point is, the morons in this thread going "hur hur Christian Science hur hur hur!" are ignorant idiots who are only embarrassing themselves.
And I'm retroactively adding TwelveBaud to that list, because that's the only way his snark up at the top of the thread makes sense.
-

I did not accuse them of being religiously influenced.Basically, it's the highest quality journalism you get in the US currently.
I guess I'll take a look at their site every now and then.
-

Yes, though I wouldn't hold foreigners' ignorance against them in this case because I don't think it really circulates internationally. The US Americans probably need better maps.

OH YOU WIN VIA PEDANTIC DICKWEEDERY! See I said it has "nothing to do with Christianity" and you replied, "OH WAIT IT WAS FOUNDED BY CHRUDHC!" and OMG that is literally true because I didn't type like a 1960s sci-fi robot evne though it was obvious to anybody who is not a 1960s sci-fi robot what I meant so YOU ARE WINANNNNASRA prize: drugs.

Well fair enough, I'm also confused by the 546374627 UK national newspapers, all of which are apparently unreliable. (At least, every time I post an article from one, IT DOESN'T MATTER WHICH, some wag from the UK comes in and says, "oh that paper's trash. Nobody reads it.")

And each one for a different reason, too

BEEP BEEP
THANK YOU

But let's get back on topic. What's the WTF here, again?
Am I allowed to ruin @blakeyrat's joke like he did with the high / low temperature thing by explaining how control questions work in surveys to see if the person is paying attention?
-

That's like making the best chocolate spread in the world and naming it "Dog Poo". Or maybe "Christan Science Poo".
But then again you have "In God we trust" stamped on your Mammon trinkets, so you have a great precedent for adding religion where it doesn't belong.

I answered this question last night and Google gave me $0.15 for not being a robot.

To be fair, they… kinda inherited that from us:

Lame trolling, man. Barely trying.

What makes you think so?

It takes one to know one. Admit you would have liked to win via PDW.

In NZ, they sell interesting bags of chocolate designed after different animal droppings, including kiwi and sheep. I have no idea if they were any good because though NZ chocolate is better than everyone else's, that's just going too far.

claims to be a christian church
Like some other churches that use Christian or Christ in their names, their teachings do not agree with those of the vast majority of mainstream Christians:
(The onebox cuts off just before the connection between Christian Science and The First Church of Christ, Scientist.)
-
Definitely viewed as independent of Christian Scientist beliefs.
Not always:
In October 1991, after a series of conflicts over the boundaries between Christian Science teachings and his journalistic independence, John Hart resigned.
-
I didn't read the news in 1991.
-
So? That wasn't directed it you. It was just for general
informationpedantic dickweedery.

Not always:
...Anchor of Church of Christ, Scientist's failed attempt at producing a cable TV news show...
I'm not as familiar with their cable TV stuff, and I reject your assertion since we were talking about the paper.
-
Strange name it’s been given, then. Or was it founded by someone called Christian?
-
I'm not as familiar with their cable TV stuff
Neither am I. Probably, neither is anyone, since apparently nobody watched it. They reportedly lost something like $250M trying to expand into broadcast media.I reject your assertion since we were talking about the paper.
True; however, is suggests they might not be completely above injecting viewpoint bias into an ostensibly independent journalistic venture. They apparently did so in their broadcast journalism; they might be doing that in the paper, too, although not as obviously.
-

I wouldn't argue that point. Just that they aren't generally viewed that way.
