How much a contrarian are you?
How often you intentionally take an opposite position to other people just to annoy, anger, irritate, or just because you are in a foul mood?
As opposed to (  ) you taking an unpopular position because you conclude that is the correct position after much thought and analysis?

I know everything I say is right so I just don't worry about it.

This poll is not clear : I can be intentionnally contrarian when I know I am right, AND intentionnally contrarian on other issues to annoy or irritate etc: this can result certain days in 100% contrarian postures, most of them with good faith of course.

Coincidence that only one person voted for "I am not intentionally contrary"?

Never, I always say what's on my mind... Just so happens that it offends or irritates people, because they know I speak the truth...

I am not intentionally contrarian, and I am contrarian all the time.

I voted 81%-99% Just because no one else had. Although those numbers are probably correct when talking to my mother.

So, I guess this thread just be "How much do you troll?"
If that was the case I would have to say 81-99% of the time. Yet, I always troll with topics I know you commie social pig-dogs would bite on...

That choice "1-20%" looks like it should have been split into five equal parts, each with a 4% range.

Maybe if I'd found it before my friends pestered me for 3 weeks to "look at home star runners, strong bad is really funny" I'd have found it funny. But no. Strong Bad is gay.

not intentionally contrary, but I always have the opposite opinion than other people
especially my rightwing fag0try familymembers always complain about me being contrary, I simply never share their opinion
annoying because they stick together so it's always me being contrary!

A little... only when I'm feeling really debatable.
The vast majority of the time, I'll air my own opinions, backing up those that support them, and critiquing those oppose etc. Still, its good for your debating skills to play devils advocate now and again.
