I found this poll to be interesting, but I agree that the respondents might be overselling their virtue. I find it hard to believe, for example, that 48% of Americans are teetotalers.
Do you think the survey results accurately reflect the conditions you observe in your community?
I fit right in.
I pray regularly, floss every day, tell my husband I love him at least once a day, I never drink, and I swear a lot. I read books for entertainment every day, and I work out several times a week.
Where I am out of the norm is in watching TV (I’m a several times a week gal) and thinking about terrorist attacks (I have several friends who were killed in the WTC attack.)
I’ll bite.
Can’t speak for my community (and why should I?) but here goes:
Watch TV: Never - but I do watch a LOT of DVDs. During dinner we put in a DVD instead of TV.
Tell someone I love them: Well, every day, several times a day.
Pray: Never
Floss my teeth: When needed. (I have very good teeth! I brush twice a day, and that’s always been enough!)
Read books: 4-5 books a week, most weeks.
Curse or swear: Probably twice daily.
Excersise: 4 times a week.
Think about terrorist attacks: Well…never, really. What is thinking about them going to accomplish?
Have an alcoholic drink: Once a week.
**Watch television ** Almost every day: news & weather, Daily Show, old movies, Simpsons, Arrested Development.
Tell someone that you love them I’m from Philadelphia. We don’t do that.
Pray God, no!
Floss your teeth Every morning. Honest!

Curse or swear Abso-fucking-lutely.

Think about terrorist attacks In the back of my mind . . .
Have an alcoholic drink Love to, thanks, but I’m allergic to the stuff.
Watch TV: Every day, but I don’t much like it (except rented movies). It’s more that the TV is in the living room, I’m in the living room, and someone in the living room has the TV on. Sometimes it’s me; more often my wife (loves cooking shows); most often my son.
Tell someone I love them: Several times a day.
Pray: Never.
Floss my teeth: Every night. I have horrible teeth.
Read books: Probably a book a week, sometimes two. But only about 1/4 are purely for entertainment.
Curse or swear: Oh yeah. I’ve cut back because listening to my children do it bothers me.
Exercise: 4 or 5 times a week in summer; by fits and starts in winter.
Think about terrorist attacks: I think about them occasionally, but not much in a fearful way. I’m not going to live forever anyway.
Have an alcoholic drink: Once a week. And then I usually have 4. I’m starting to cut back on that, too, because it messes up my sleep schedule for days.
