Never and ever!
Well, that's their result (of 19/05/2009), more than 60% replied with "Never".
I wonder how a university in the Magic Kingdom, or elsewehere, contribute in changing the wrong behaviors of some students?
It is a correct and valid question, but in the wrong place!  |

Over 1000 votes for "no" or "never". Scary stuff, actually. Especially since the student body understand the question and can visualize what the words "wrong behavior" implies.
Of course they could be voting "no" for a variety of reasons. |

I like the "Rather" choice - but is it the "British Rather" or do they mean
"Occasionally?" Somehow, I doubt it's the British one.
Choices Percentage Number Of Votes
Yes 216
Rather 489
Never 1077 |

I can imagine quite a few "wrong behaviors" but am curious what you imagine students may infer. Is this code for a specific behavior? |

I would also like to hear some interpretations of "wrong behaviors".
Serious ones only. I can hazard some guesses, but I\d like to know how others interpret it. |

I was under the impression that it was a code word for 'deviant behaviour' which is the phrase the Interior Ministry uses for sympathizing or being a member of Al-Qaeeda. |

This could very well be... since it is not explicitly stated as such ...your guess is as good as any...  |
