What about all of the so called "trained" journalists who can't even make poopy ON the paper? Bad little puppies...

Are any of you at SFist trained journalists? These four of my life that I'll never get back, they want to know.

Grad students are usually just full of shit. Grad students in Texas are a little short of the average 8th grader in full of shit-ness. They should stick to lying to their moms about where they are going with their girlfriends. For reals.

Kristin and Chris are graduate students and they write this poorly? They're grad students in Texas. Do you require further explanation beyond that? Brock has never shown any indication that he knows what ethics are, let alone has any to call his own. Someone should warn the grad students of America that Brock will skew their sample if they keep foisting surveys upon him.

Kristin and Chris are graduate students and they write this poorly? Perhaps it is a good thing that Sallie Mae may not be able to fund student loans anymore.

Bitter much? I have to say, the posts recently are just a little too cranky for even my jaded, angry tastes.

Ethics are for girls

The questions are all free-form. Chris and Kristen are going to have their hands full reading all the answers and trying to get any conclusions from them. Perhaps they don't teach stats in Texas? Brock - come over any time and we'll watch All The President's Men and drink scotch under a naked lightbulb.

I wouldn't have been able to finish my MA thesis had it not been for the kindness of relative strangers (VIPs in my field) answering my survey. However, they should have sent you more information. Universities have an Institutional Review Board which has to approve any research that involves "Human Subjects", and anytime they send out a survey, they should have a cover sheet which explains risks, costs, benefits, procedures, etc. This is probably more info than anyone here wanted to know.

If they'd bothered to look at SFist, they'd know it has no ethics. At least when it comes to posting the recently deceased's facebook/myspace pages or photos of people passed out drunk in the street. Anyway, can we have more stuff about San Francisco and less about blogging/the internet please? (Admittedly you've been a bit better about this recently.)

Plus, it is a really stupid questionnaire. "8. In what cases do/would you apply ethics in blogging?" ? Is this for a 10th-grade English class? Give me a break, or ask some thought-provoking questions, snowflake!
