' Most Australians think asylum seekers who arrive by boat are not genuine refugees and there is strong support for the Abbott government to treat boat arrivals more harshly '

oh, ok.  was just about to repeat what I said on the Oscar Schindler thread.

could you remind me what you said in the Oscar Schindler Thread. please? even jog my memory a bit?

I was objecting to comparing Oscar Schindler who saved the Jews from the Nazis putting his own life at risk,  to today's people smugglers who do so for profit and have no regard for people's lives.    I went into a lot of detail to justify my objections.

I just lervvv  surveys

http://www.hookingupsmart.com/2012/07/25/whatguyswant/askmens-great-male-survey-results/

16. How often do you fake orgasms?

Never: 33%

Rarely: 26%

Often: 15%

Every time: 26%

Don’t do it ladies, you’ll only paint yourself into a corner it is very difficult to crawl out of.

4. At what point does the number of former sex partners that he/she’s had begin to bother you?

If he/she’s slept with more than 10 partners previously: Men 43%, Women 24%

If he/she’s slept with more than 20 partners previously: Men 21%, Women 19%

I don’t care how many previous sex partners he/she’s had: Men 20%, Women, 14%

If he/she’s slept with more than one other partner previously: Men 10%, Women 32%*

If he/she’s slept with more than 100 partners previously: Men 6%, Women 11%

*This is the other wacked result IMO. Manwhore shamer that I am, even I don’t believe that a third of women are bothered by a guy’s having had 2 previous partners.

The survey of almost 3100 Australians found 74 per cent believe the world’s climate is changing.

When asked a different question about the causes of climate change, which removed the reference to personal beliefs, 90 per cent of respondents said human activity was a factor.

Just 5 per cent said climate change was entirely caused by natural processes.

The study by Queensland’s Griffith University surveyed more than 3,000 Australians across the country and found 74 per cent believe the world’s climate is changing and 90 per cent believe human activities are playing a role.

The research found less than 6 per cent of Australians are true climate change sceptics.

Thank you to everyone who took the 2012 Less Wrong Survey (the survey is now closed. Do not try to take it.)

Below the cut, this post contains the basic survey results, a few more complicated analyses, and the data available for download so you can explore it further on your own.

You may want to compare these to the results of the 2011 Less Wrong Survey.

I don't think anyone is doubting the survey result.  They are, however, decrying the sentiment.
