    I was getting kinda worried when I was reading the options and ALL of them I agreed on. BUT THEN I GOT TO NUMBER 6 AND I WAS LIKE YAY! I can work with that.

    Hmm, for a minute I thought what the hell is this because I couldn't find any option I disagreed with, but then I got to the last option.. I suppose thats the one i don't agree with lol.

    Wow, I think you will get a lot of enteries. I have to agree with a lot of other people that the last one is the only one I disagree with.

    I would love to disagree but that would mean lying about how I feel about any and all of the options you have offered. The contest idea is alright, but I would suggest if you try this again choosing things people are more likely to DISAGREE with than agree. Good luck with your contest.

    I would love to enter, but tragically I agree with all your statements. :/ Well, good luck in judging. I hope the entries are many, but not so many to over work your, and I hope the are all full of amazing and satisfying content, but not too hard to judge. Thank you for taking your time to host a contest that promotes debating and defence of personal opinions with your time, points, and dedication.
