Game: Ask the Person Below You

[Bakiryu]

yes, it's relaxing

do you like midgets?

[Lezlie]

I have nothing against them.

Do you own any pets?

[papayahed]

Nope but I'm thinking of getting a turtle.


What's the first thing you do when you get up in the morning?

[thelastmelon]

Put my socks on and then go out and start boiling water to make tea.

What are you most happy about at the moment?

[Shurtugal]

i'm alive, i can breath, i can see, i can walk, i can chew (evan though i have a tooth ache), oh, and i'm going to greeny's b-day party to day and just made her an awsome card.

does bullet have a crush on one of the jonas brothers? (the boys on her new avie.:nod: )

[papayahed]

I pretty sure she does.

What should I make for breakfast?

[Pendragon]

You can't go wrong with eggs.

Would you take the time to educate yourself about Bi Polar/Manic Depressive Disorder in order to help understand someone who is going through this or just shun the person as if they were rabid?

[LadyWentworth]

If the person is close to me, I definitely would like to try and understand what the person is going through. I have a family member that is what they called a "textbook case" with OCD. I definitely found out more about it and got to understand it better. How else would I be able to completely understand the person I am dealing with on a daily basis? So, of course I would.


Why would someone shun a person for such a reason as the above question?

[Oniw17]

They are easily stressed like most people. This is probably because they weren't disciplied enough as a child.


Why does everyone insist that life is crazy when I see nothing that I haven't come to expect and anticipate in my daily life?

[papayahed]

Because you've been lucky thus far.

What do you want to be when you grow up? (I know I've asked this before but I'm still looking for ideas)

[Pendragon]

I'm only 47. How would I know?

Why do people blame everything on how a kid was disiplined? If partents try to displine kids, people complain that they are "wrecking their creativity." If they do not they are "raising the next generation of psychos." If you try the middle road, you are "to wishy-washy to have kids." Give me a break! http://i94.photobucket.com/albums/l108/AbsalomKane/Smilies/Grr.gif

[packersfan]

Most people like to blame things on their parents, either by their disipline or lack or disipline. Then they can relate to others and therefore like to blame all parents for all kids "imperfections". Does that make sense?

Do you think parents should disipline their children or not or somewhat in the middle?

[BulletproofDork]

They should definitely disipline their children, but to a certain age, me thinks. I'm only twelve, and my parents spanked me when I was younger, but now a stern reprimand hurts just as much.


Same question.

[Oniw17]

Not disciplining children?! That's crazy! Everyone should discipline their kids(I don't only mean spanking, the corner is incredibly effective)...When they don't, they usually end up claiming that the reason their kids keep getting suspended from school is because they have ADHD and getting them medicated later(I've seen this more than once). Of course, there should be a difference between the way you discipline a 5 year old and an 8 year old, and if your kid has no mental problems, they shouldn't need to be disciplined after they're 10(If they were raised right). It doesn't stunt individualism in the least bit(I'm the weirdest and most abnormal person I know and I was disciplined when I was young).

Same question.---

[Shalot]

yes parents should discipline their kids. this questions reminds me of the stories in the media about Alec Baldwin's voicemail he left to his daughter. She had done something and he was upset with her for it and he left her a voice mail about it. The media got a hold of it and were talking about his parenting skills...

I was thinking (and I don't even have kids) that the kid probably deserved it. All he did was yell at her. It's not like he beat her with a shovel. If parents can't teach their children right and wrong through discipline, then who will? It certainly won't be the teachers at school, because all they want to do is defile the poor kids.

I was listening to This American Life (yes another NPR program - NPR Rules!) and that week it was about kids and discipline and the narrator said something along the lines of "Kids are sociopaths until they are disciplined out of it"

That is not a direct quote because I can't remember exactly what he said, but it's true. Kids need to be taught effectively how to function in society and they need to be called down when they do something inappropriate. You can't just call it ADD or accuse their parents of mistreatment. I guess some people have different ideas about what is inappropriate discipline.

Me personally, I think some kids just needs spankings.

Do you remember getting disciplined and/or spanked for something and how does that make you feel?

[Shurtugal]

i've been spanked... well when i did get spanked i didn't like it. but i've looked around and seen what some people turn out to be. and i know what i could have turned out to be. so now i am thankful.

same question?

[Oniw17]

I remember experiencing many different forms of discipline.

What is your purpose in life?

[LadyWentworth]

Honestly? I don't know. I just know that I am here and I would like to live a decent, happy life. Thus far, I haven't been succeeding too much!

Same question....

[Bakiryu]

changing the world.

How do you sour milk?

[Shalot]

I am not going to tell you how I sour it but I know you sour it just by looking at it.

Oh wait, this is not the insult thread. I have no idea. I know that it goes sour when it stays in the fridge long after its expiration date. Does that help? :D

Why do songs get stuck in your head?

[Oniw17]

Humans love patterns. Music, as opposed to noise, is, by definition, a pattern.

Why does being drunk feel so good?

[papayahed]

Alcohol interferes with communication between nerve cells and all other cells, suppressing the activities of excitatory nerve pathways and increasing the activities of inhibitory nerve pathways.


If you were one of the three stooges which would you be? (ok there's 5 including shemp and joe)

[Bakiryu]

um, the what?

What's your favorite sappy movie?

[Oniw17]

The Titanic

Is desire really what it appears to be for socrates, krishna and others(pretty much the equivalent of evil) or were these(possibly ficticious) people used as a way to brainwash citizens in the distant past?

[Big Al]

A little from column A, a little from column B.

Would you rather our society put more importance on intellectualism instead of athletics, and you never get to watch sports again, or would you rather our society puts even more importance on athletics, in which case there are even more sports to watch?

[Oniw17]

Why can't we put place more importance on both and less on mediocracy and conformity(that's my answer and my question)?

[Bakiryu]

we're human beings, that means low intelligence and too much conformity.

Why does Oniw17 always ask questions that make you think (on this thread)?

[Oniw17]

That's what type of person I am.

Why is the sunset red(that's fairly easy)?

[Oniw17]

I guess not...Because the light spreads across the horizon and the longer red rays reflect.

What's your favorite show?

[RoCKiTcZa]

I don't watch TV a lot.

Is it wrong to be obsessed with a person?

[Oniw17]

Not unless it's affecting your physical or mental health negatively.


Is it wrong to be obsessed with an ideal?

[ahsiam]

why would it be wrong? ofcourse not.
rather its very much fine. why? are you? (sorry am i being too personal?)


why do we see dreams?

[Oniw17]

are you?
Somewhat.

why do we see dreams?
we aren't staisfied with ourselves

Why aren't psychology and neurology the same subject?

[ahsiam]

because they are not. psychology is about mind and neurology is about brain.
why there are inumerable sad people in this world?

[Oniw17]

Most of them don't know what they want out of life, and those who do usually have high expectationss or realise that they'll never get it.

same question

[ahsiam]

i think the reason is us ourselves, we dont know what we want.

why we fall in love?

[Oniw17]

never have, no idea

Is there a such thing as an absolute good or bad?

[Bakiryu]

no. the word is shades of gray never black and white.

why does cleaning your ears feel so good? :p

[Oniw17]

The same reason that it feels good to clean any other part of your body.

Why is the sky blue?

[Pendragon]

I could go into a long explainition on refractions of light but I think I will quote Charles Schultz, via Lucy: "Because it isn't green!"

Whom do you most admire?

[quasimodo1]

To Pen: Right now I most admire a member with the perspicacity to close a thread that seemed endless and it's premise unresolvable. Thanks, quasi

[HoOkEdOnReAdInG]

How often do you go to the restroom in one day?

[RoCKiTcZa]

Surprisingly, not very often. Perhaps 3-4 times a day. But when I'm there, I remain for a very long time.

What do you do when you are void of thoughts and imaginings?

[Oniw17]

panic


What do you do when you fail at something?

[RoCKiTcZa]

When it comes to grades, believe it or not, I am sometimes passive towards that, and I end up hating myself for feeling that way.

How would you react if you were stuck in the same situation as I?

[Pendragon]

Well, I used to be fairly passive myself-- after all, I had to work my way through high school and then walk two miles home in all sorts of weather, no bookbag, so taking my books home was out. When I returned to school in an attemp to get off disability, even though I had been out of school 20 years, I decided a B was unacceptable. Mainly, I grant you, because I knew people didn't think I could do it. I did. Unfortunately, the job pressure just sent me back into worse times. I think it a phase we go through.

Would you set a goal like "A "B" is an unacceptable grade?"

[Oniw17]

More like "not knowing x or being able to solve x problem is unacceptable", or "x person being better than me in any way whatsoever is unacceptable" or "not being able to complete x task is something I have to change." My main goal is to continue to surpress social anxiety, and sadly, that will be my no.1 goal, probably until I die.

What's wrong with the world?

[andave_ya]

sorry, oniw came in first.

It refuses to read.


Why is music so fascinating?

[Oniw17]

For me, it's something that I don't understand and am not very good at, which makes it interesting.

Same question.

[NikolaiI]

I don't know.

Why do you cry, and why do you lie to me?

[Bakiryu]

I cry when I'm sad, and I've never lied to you (yet!~ :lol:)

why do the stars shine so brightly and we cannot see them with this city lights?

[NikolaiI]

Light pollution

Do you like the Beatles? Have you ever met someone who introduced themselves as Beatle?

[Oniw17]

Not reall and no.


How's your life in general?

[NikolaiI]

Much better than Beatle's.

Have you had a stupid argument today with your best friend?

[Oniw17]

Nah.


Can you swim for an hour without stopping in-between?

[NikolaiI]

Yes I think I could! But I wouldn't be swimming very far or fast (just tread, and lay back and wait for the hour to be up :D)

Do you know what a siddhi is? Are you a fleet runner? :)

[ktd222]

I don't know what a "siddhi" is. I'm not a fleet runner either, but I'm consistently slow-footed.

What is the best approach to asking someone out on a date?

[ahsiam]

you are cool...i am cool....wanna go out?
or are you an angel from the heaven.....?

who are you in person?

[Pendragon]

http://i94.photobucket.com/albums/l108/AbsalomKane/Four/Dale.gif More or less.

Why?

[BulletproofDork]

Because . . . . :p



Why is life so unfair?

[Oniw17]

That's just how it is.

Why do people long for the answers to questions that have no answers?

[Bakiryu]

because everything is a riddle and we yearn to solve it.

why are dogs awake when you want to sleep?

[amalia1985]

Because of my reeeeeeeeeally bad luck!

Have you ever watched an ice-skating competition?

[Shalot]

I have watched a few figure skating routines on TV but never the whole thing and never live. Does that count?

why can some people read in the car and others get car sick if they read in the car and why does Sprite but not Sierra Mist help with naseau?

[AdoreroDio]

I 'm not sure about the reading in the car thing- it's not something passed on for sure, I mean my mom and brother get sick is they do but I don't. Maybe it has something to do with childhood- if you were always sturdy and not used to movement a lot then ,maybe you do get sick but if you were used to swaying or not being sturdy than you subconsciously are already used to being focused around movement and not getting sick. but then again that is a theory I just made up so it prolly has a lot of errors. Who really knows?

As for the Sprite and Sierra Mist , no idea. Pick a bottle of each up and compare the ingredients, what's the difference?

What was your favorite year of school and why?

[Bakiryu]

none. School has never made me happy.

do you meditate?

[AdoreroDio]

As in hummmmmmmmm *puts fingers togethor and sits quietly* ?
No, but I do meditate on God's word.

What do you believe?

[RoCKiTcZa]

. . .
I believe in God.

Should I post a picture of mine in the Lit Network Photo Album thread?

[Pendragon]

Yes.

Should we take time to listen to other seriously at times, knowing it could be a cry for help?

[NikolaiI]

I always listen seriously to everyone, and it makes me gullible. - Not saying my mind doesn't wander, but if I am mindful enough to focus on someone, then I give them my full attention...does this make any sense?

Is our culture in decline?

[applepie]

I generally think that it is. We have many of the same issues with our society that it took the Romans (ancient ones) centuries to develop. It didn't end too well for them.

You always hear the phrase "It is better to have loved and lost than to have never loved at all", Is this true?

[andave_ya]

I don't know. Ask me after I've fallen in love and had my heart broken, then, perhaps, I can tell you. :D

Which song should I buy from Itunes next?

[amalia1985]

What kind of music do you like? My current favourite song is "Humanity" by Scorpions.


Is television a useful invention?

[NikolaiI]

Of course, useful: entertaining, distracting, controlling the masses... :D

[papayahed]

Nope.


What am I going to talk about in the car tomorrow with the new boss for four hours??

[BulletproofDork]

The weather. :p


What time do you eat dinner?

[NikolaiI]

Whenever; I like to eat light dinners, though, unless I'm going to be working out or something.

Are you going to travel the world? Live in a country other than your birth one?

[RoCKiTcZa]

Sure. I would love to visit every place on the globe, but there is no way I will leave my country to live in another one. There's no place like home... ;)

Really? Should i post a pic of mine? :D Why?
Hmmmmm.... :idea:

[Chava]

Because you want to.

Do you picture letters or words in colour?

[amalia1985]

Yes, you should see my telephone-numbers agenda!!!!!!!

Do you play any instrument?

[Chava]

I play the saxophone

Do you remember to dot your i's?

[AimusSage]

Always. It's an automatic process. I always dot my i's with a near invisible dot that manages to elude quite a few people, taunting them with their poor eyesight by jumping off the paper, into their beady eyes, causing an irrational fear of dots. :nod:

Do androids bleed when wounded?

[NikolaiI]

No.

Can humans be objective?

[papayahed]

Sometimes.

[motherhubbard]

I was too late

Yes, when it itches I scratch it


when someone is talking to you, do you sit there at think about what other people might be thinking about when you are talking to them?

[tamora]

yes, and I often think other things like "I wonder if my breath stinks" or "I wonder if I remnants of that sub sandwich stuck in my teeth"?

Have you ever gone pee outside and in public?

[motherhubbard]

no, but I have gone outside behind a tree- If I had gone in front of the tree it would have been in public

same question

[tamora]

Oh Yeah! Usually behind something as well. Not too recently, but more than times that I should have or needed to. I am a potty voyeur.

[Oniw17]

Not at all.

same question.

[NikolaiI]

Yes, M. Kundera, as I discovered yesterday.

What author would you take with you if you could only preserve a few books out of all of human knowledge? (The rest being wiped out, except for in memory)

[Oniw17]

Plato, the Socratic dialogues are more important than every other book ever written combined. It sucks that I can only pick one author though.


same question.

[NikolaiI]

Hahahahhahahaha

Dostoyevsky. It doesn't matter, since it's just one author. :D

What's your ideal living situation?

[Shalot]

Ideally, i would like to live in a place that gives me enough space to stretch out and have my own private space to be just me. And if I must have a roommate, at least two bathrooms are in order since I like to spend a long time in there myself and I don't want to get kicked out when roommate urgently needs to go and vice versa

At what age did you stop trick or treating? Or do you know not do that where you're from?

[NikolaiI]

Hm, maybe when I was 7-8...I can just remember doing it with my brother in our neighbourhood out in the country. I know we went to a thing they did every year at Fairgrounds 'couple times...hm. Miss my brother.

London again. I love the British accent. I think I am going to start saying "I sar it" instead of I saw it. Man, I love that accent.

If you could drive any car you wanted, what would it be? Or does it even matter?

[NikolaiI]

Nope. A little, but I can't name five cars, so I dunno...A good one! That gets good mileage and would last a long time.

Same question

It doesn't matter. Do helicopters count?

When feeling melancholy, what music do you listen to?

[AimusSage]

Classical music, Mozart's requiem for one is very good and puts the whole melancholy in perspective.
I also have some great movie soundtracks.
Radiohead
Pink Floyd always manages to lift my spirits.
Muse.
So much more though, just the tip of the iceberg.

What is it that makes people feel melancholy?

[Chava]

I'm melancholic when i'm confused or really tired, because then I can't think positive.

What pleases you?

[AimusSage]

Chava! It's an all ages forum! :eek2: ;)

And playing football also pleases me. As does a good concert by a good band, quite a lot pleases me actually. But it's all derived from selfish interest, which displeases me, so I think it all balances out in the end. :D

What drives you nuts?

[Chava]

My own lack of self discipline actually..

When do you call it quits?

[AimusSage]

I'll do it right now. :)

Same q. since I just called it quits.

I am so uneducated in plays, I don't know hardly any, so I guess I'll say Midsummer Night's Dream.

Is it bad for your car to let the gas go below a quarter tank?

[amalia1985]

It depends on my car's moods, but most often, yes, it is a problem.

[BulletproofDork]

A monkey!!!! :p

[Oniw17]

I used to think it was Dave Chapelle, but it's Demetri Martin. That guy is very funny.

same question

[NikolaiI]

Oh I have a few favourites, though I couldn't name them all by name. I can't remember their names- is Lewis Black any good? There's one guy I can't...I think I like the guy who plays Lewis on Drew Carey...sorry, not good with actors and comedians or other famous people.

How many times have you heard someone say, "If I had money, I'd do things my way"? But little they know, it's so far to find; one rich man in ten, with a satisfied mind.

[Pendragon]

Lotta times. They end up broke.

Say a person is a pathaelogical liar and incapable of telling the truth. What one statement can they never say?

[NikolaiI]

"I'm not a mummy"?

How much $$ would you give Dale (Pen) to dress up in that robe and staff!!!?

[papayahed]

I'm hoping he would do it if I asked nicely.


Would you confront a relative that prepetually lies knowing it's possible he will cut off contact?

[Shalot]

well someone has to tell call him on his lying. I would probably try to come up with some other creative way to get him to stop that didn't involve him getting upset and cutting off all contact. Just because it's good for him, and just because he may get mad and even though he may appreciate it later, his pride or embarrassment may keep him from speaking to you at all later.

good question: pass it on.

[Pendragon]

confortation doesn't help. Been there, done that.

What robe and staff are we talking about me dressing up in here?

[NikolaiI]

in your photo

will you buy me a pizza pie?

[Zelly]

If it's under eight bucks which is all I have on me at the moment.

[Shalot]

on some people they look good - they're okay i guess depending on how well they suit the wearer

Leaving the people to fend for themselves,
Then, the people found out the lie"
-Thetawaves

Do you hate drug-dealers?

[Shalot]

[BulletproofDork]

How 'bout century?? :p

The medieval times.



Same question. :)

[RoCKiTcZa]

The 1930s? I don't know. I'm not so sure. I love pioneers, though, and also the cononial days in North America...
Basically, I'd like to live through the entire second millennium, from year 1000-1999.

What would you do if you had to answer questions about a long novel like Noli me Tangere in just one hour???

[Chava]

Answer the question...Nothing new there

Ballpoints, or free flow ink pens?

[Pendragon]

Which ever my kids won't steal for school.

BTW Nic, I have the staff. I have always used one since I was a kid. Jokers who disliked the fact that my family was devoutly Christian mockingly called me "Moses" for carrying that staff, until they realized I could fight with it! I would wear the robe and even grow my hair that long (Native American blood). I am far from bald, however...

Would you use a skill (like staff fighting) to bully or only if pressed?

[NikolaiI]

I would use it to fight off the aliens.

Do you believe in love at first sight?

(I have 1/128 Cherokee blood :D :p-as you know, I've been doing Inipi a couple of times. I guess in Lakota fashion, or the Lakota way.)

[Gadget Girl]

Same question.

[NikolaiI]

same question

[scarlet pain]

same question

[ahsiam]

Why do we love LitNet?

[Pretty^Athens]

Just because!

why do people get easely insulted?!

[Pendragon]

Irritation, like beauty, is only skin deep and most are thin skinned.

Why do people blattenly lie about things when the truth would be perfectly acceptable to everyone? http://i94.photobucket.com/albums/l108/AbsalomKane/Smilies/GiveUp.gif

[quasimodo1]

To Pen: Speaking of truth, your piece about the photographers is excellent and sadly too common. Many times catching a few minutes of Cnn or the like, it seemed like the same helicopters filming the family on the roof, close to drowning, could go for a rescue instead of prime time. quasi

[quasimodo1]

same question:Why do people blattenly lie about things when the truth would be perfectly acceptable to everyone?

[papayahed]

Habit. Scared.

Why do birds suddenly appear, everytime you are near? (think The Carpenters)

[NikolaiI]

Because song is how things come into existence.

Why do dragonflies appear, when we drink beer?

[papayahed]

Just like me, they long to be....close to you.

A book a month? The first six volumes of The Encyclopedia Briticania If a book interests me enough, I can finish it (even say The Fellowship of the Ring) in one day. I actually read a set of encyclopedias once when I was about 9. We didn't have much reading material...

What would you consider fair odds to bet your life on?

[Oniw17]

Anything 4/1 or better.

Would Bullet change her avatar?

[Pendragon]

Let's hope so! http://i94.photobucket.com/albums/l108/AbsalomKane/Fortune_teller.gif

Does BP know there is an old comic character called "Bullet Girl" and would she be interested in a graphic?

[Oniw17]

A harvest sown and reaped on the same day in an unploughed feild, which increases witout growing, remains whole though it is eaten within and without, is useless yet the staple of all nations. What am I refering to?

[Gadget Girl]

War :D

You call my name, but I'm not there. What am I?

[kiz_paws]

Yes she is, Nik!

The question is: Do you think Bullet-Girl would look better wearing tights?

[papayahed]

I think she would.


If you could be a superhero who would you be?

[AimusSage]

I would be His Royal Highness the Benevolent and Just King Aimus the first
Ruler of the Infinite Universe, Mars, and the nation of the Glorious Turnip.

Same Q because I'm bored.

[Shalot]

I think I would be Wonder Woman since I had those kind of under roos when I was little and I liked to watch the intro to the show and the part where she spun around and turned into Wonder Woman (other than that, I had no idea what was going on - I was busy with the coloring book)

Same question. I'm dying to know if anyone else had under roos.

[Oniw17]

I'm more fond of anti-heroes, but as super-heroes go....either Lobo or Wolverine. Probably Lobo.

Same question

[BulletproofDork]

Bulletproof, defender of the galactic dorks. :lol:


Same question.

[Zelly]

Captain Obvious, of course.

What did you eat for dinner? Or what are you going to eat for dinner?

[Shalot]

I had my leftover lunch for dinner (steep gas prices and stress at work)

did you or did you not wear under roos as a child?

[papayahed]

Yes I did.

If you had a relative that has a history of lying would you sit and listen to the latest round of illnesses or tell him you think he's not telling the truth?

[Shurtugal]

ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh? *drowls slightly* i dunno.

same q.

[Oniw17]

Even if I thought it was the truth I wouldn't listen, because it's depressing.


What do you do or plan on doing for a living?

[papayahed]

I'm an Environmental, Health, and Safety Supervisor.


Same Q.

[farnoosh]

sleeping to death

[NikolaiI]

Haven't decided.

Did you have any dreams last night?

[Gadget Girl]

Yeah, but I forgot.

Do you like the things that life is showing you?

[NikolaiI]

Some of them.

Have you ever saved a person's life?

[Pendragon]

At least once, maybe more. My brother would have bled to death if I hadn't carried him down the hill on the run, got him in the car after grabbing the insurence card from mom, and broke every driving law in the book getting him to the hospital. He had ripped an artery in his knee.

I stepped between a man and another who was threatening to kill him once in a mental hospital. The guy could bench press nearly 400 lb. so I knew he could kill us both with bare hands. I could read death in his eyes. He had had the back of his skull crushed in an accident as a kid, and he had a tendency to go violent without warning. He backed down out of respect for me, but stated that if the bleep-of-a-bleep crossed him again, nobody would stop him from killing him. This got him locked in the rubber room.

No bragging, any other person would have done the same, I'm sure.

Same question.

[Shurtugal]

three cheers for PEN!!!!!!!!! *cheers!*

once i heard some one screaming in the back of our house... normally i would have ignored it (my neighborhood is known for their screaming) but i had and urge to go see who it was. turned out that a lady was useing one of these gutter things and the rubber gloves she was wareing got caught up in the turning cord, her hand was twisted up and she couldn't brake free, i ran inside and ponded at my parents door like a mad person, we went over there and cutter the gloves free...

not exactly saving someone life, but saving them for many painful hours.

same q?

(p.s. the lady was fine, nothing broken, and i've seen her around several times since)
