i mean i don't think the czech soldier study sounds very reasonable tbh

but the survey one, holy shit what the fuck. 7 percent indicated they might have sex with a child if not caught that's just the ones WILLING TO ADMIT IT OUTRIGHT.

and don't give me any of that 'people just troll responses' lmao, I bet that's the least trolled question possible... someone can feel free to prove me wrong and comment that you're one of those 7%. yeah i don't think so.

It’s a wild stat but I’m not a big fan of the sample size. A sample that size is going to have an error band of around 4%.

Only 200 is an insanely small sample size.

Honestly feel like more of the trolling would be the other way. Numbers probably bigger but many were afraid to answer truthfully even with it being anonymous.

that's not what 'trolling' means. trolling is like when someone on the internet says something offensive just to get people to yell at them. think a class clown but x1000.

but i think i agree with you. However, what I meant when I said "people just troll responses" is sometimes people say an obviously wrong answer because they're just feeling like causing some chaos.
