As pointed out in a recent transmission, there are some individuals here who resemble one another. There are others whose worlds are similar to others', while others still have worlds that differ radically.

The following is a survey designed to attempt to determine whose worlds are most similar to whose. As a full disclaimer, I am not a trained sociologist/demographist, nor do I claim to be. My credentials extend no further than merely dabbling in disciplines related to those and having studied the science of writing the census briefly when I was younger. Nevertheless, I believe this may be a useful diagnostic tool.

I would encourage everyone who sees this to take a look at others' responses. If you see something familiar, please discuss with the other individual what that similarity is; from there, please try to determine just how similar/different your worlds are.

This is completely optional.

... I suppose I can understand why you would condemn it.

But with all due respect, I do not regret my own actions. Just as I cannot understand the system by which you punish your criminals, I feel that you do not understand the circumstances of where I am from, either.

[ SIGH. ]

... if you must think of me as a criminal, then so be it. I feel that this isn't a matter you would be easily swayed about.

Well -- thank you for your understanding, then.

[ sort of. ]

... it must take a lot of effort to purposely not be kind.

Mm, I'm glad if all of that was of any use.

[ pause. ]

If you ever feel like taking a break from 'not being nice,' I'm sure it would be quite refreshing. Not a permanent change -- just for a while.

Oh, I don't mean 'to me'! I apologize if it came across that way.

It just seems very tiresome for you, is what I meant. Always having to be so strict.
