What is your take on mercy killing?

(The question came to my mind as the recent news about euthanizing the the poor little lost baby whale has been haunting and hurting me:bawling:. Why were we so helpless with all our scientific prowess? See, http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20080822/ap_on_re_au_an/australia_baby_whale)

[aBIGsheep]

Euthanasia should only be considered for those who have a diagnosed terminal sickness with death imminent in 6 months or less, the mental capacity, a doctor's approval, and a relative that would cooperate with the patient. Oregon is the only state that has legalized Euthanasia and I'm pretty sure that's all the prerequisites for an individual.
It'd be more inhuman to prolong something or someone's suffering when it has little to no possibility of survival.

If you lived in the culture, would you commit suicide to preserve your honor or would you allow yourself to live yourself ashamed and shunned?

Why can't we all just get along? (sorry, I've been studying the '92 LA riots for an essay I'm writing)

[kiz_paws]

Well, I think it has to do with ego. People want to protect their ego and do so in anyway that they can. This is how I see it when I dissect a situation that has gone awry.

What is with so many self-help books out there? Is this some new cash cow?

[Beautifull]

i don't know.

do you like to spend your time reading or watching T.V.(or the computer screen)?

Chicken Parmesian.

do I want to know what a danish pastry really is?

[kilted exile]

Yes you certainly do. I would advise you to become acquainted with them as soon as possible.


Do you think reading areas in bookshops discourage people from actually buying the books (reading them in the store instead)?

[papayahed]

I had the idea of doing that but I could never pull it off due to all the distractions and the fact that I like to read naked.


Same question?



(kidding about the naked thing)

[Chava]

No, I think it makes them feel at the store, and even idf they don't buy that book, they'll come back to the same store next time because they remember they had a nice experience, and buy books in the future. The reason we don't have reading areas in most places? It's a pain to get people out of the store when we've closed, people bring drinks and food and mess up the books, the couches need to be cleaned all the time, and us booksellers are lazy. At least this is what my boss told me.

How many countries in the EU?

In the where now? :confused:


Do you think people should be allowed to talk on phones in libraries?

That is a good question, so I pose it to the next poster -- do YOU have a tattoo?

[papayahed]

No, but now that you mention kokopelli...... (I have a kite with kokpelli on one side and a salamander on the other)


Same question.

[aBIGsheep]

Nope, but I want a sneaky-awesome tatoo. It's going to be connect the dotes across my back or arms or calves or something of a giraffe. It'll look like moles so I'll only show people I really trust and admire. It's kinda lame, but I'd love it nonetheless.

Same question. Do you have/want a tatoo?

[Chava]

Don't have one, but I plan on getting one if not several sooner or later. :)

Are you a coward?

[Amundsen]

Who is your favorite poet?

[papayahed]

The person that wrote: "Roses are Red, Violets are Blue....." . Seriously, I'm not a fan of poetry. Actually that's an understatement I despise poetry.

To be fair and since this a lit website, Same question.

[positiveion]

E E Cummings.

The first poet I ever really explored and has stayed my favorite ever since.
If you don't mind, you could read a few of the following poems listed out. To be honest, I'd agree with you most of the time. Most poetry I find dreary and tedious.

But Cummings... the sweetness, the refreshing simplicity... I just love it! Actually, that's just a period of his poetry. But I love it all! Even the darker, more cynical ones.

If I'm not making sense, ignore me haha.

Definitely human biology, whether anatomy and physiology, histology, microbiology, or human pathology.

Go and google-images the graffiti artist Banksy.
Not bad images, for sure, impressive, but not really a question. :thumbs_up:

What do you remember of your last dream?

[aBIGsheep]

Sucks for you.

Who is the Partisan?

[mono]

The biased, stiff-upper-lipped, close-minded one.

I actually ask this for my apartment's benefit, so what small/medium-sized house plants would you recommend that are cat-friendly?

[Chava]

I would have said an orange tree... I think the best thing will just be to train them to leave your precious greenlings alone. Water in a spray can will do the tirck! (But ehy will scowl at you, and tlak about you behind your back)

Same question, in case someone has a more reasonable response.

[kiz_paws]

I'm afraid that I don't know of any plant that is virtually cat-proof. I suppose that the only thing to do is to make sure that the pots are plastic (for WHEN they go down, not IF) and that they are relatively small.

Does this help anyone?

[Silas Thorne]

Leonard Cohen is. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wTwr7CLT5aU

You are reborn after a very mind blowing experience (blame your recent meth addiction) what do you name yourself?

[Silas Thorne]

The first thing I see with words on it is my name. And I am now Mr. Thesaurus, Roget's Thesaurus.

Why does one plus one not equal one, for oneness is absolute?

[Tournesol]

Who could ever think of an answer for that highly philosophical question, Silas?!

Pray tell, what is the answer?

[Silas Thorne]

:) OK, its too philosophical. I could say: out of the need for mathematical calculation.

There are many things that Einstein said that are worth noting, but since you asked for my favorite, well it would be:


"In the end, it's not going to matter how many breaths you took, but how many moments took your breath away" - shing xiong

That was a great question, worthy of asking the next poster. What is your favorite quote?

[BlueSkyGB]

Well Kiz....
I do love that one....
think I will link it with my sig line....
which happens to be a fav. of mine...they seem to go hand in hand

[mono]

Favorite quote? Yikes, impossible to say! One of my favorites comes from Goethe's Faust:

All that philosophy can teach,
The lore of jurist and of leech,
I've mastered, ah! and sweated through
Theology's dead deserts, too,
Yet here, poor fool! for all my lore,
I stand no wiser than before.
Another from Milton:

The mind is its own place, and in itself creates
An heaven of hell, an hell of heaven.
From Coleridge:

Happiness is the end of virtue, and truth knowledge of the means.
Emerson, Woolf, Thoreau, and Dostoevsky also have a million things I can quote, but I will stop there. :D

Why do I keep buying books when I already have many I have to read yet!

What painting or sculpture would you like to see up close?

[mono]

I would love to see some originals by Marcel DuChamp, most definitely, Gustav Klimt, or maybe some surrealists like Rene Magritte or Salvador Dali. I think it would seem interesting to look at 'Landscape with the Fall of Icarus' (http://www.usm.maine.edu/eng/bruegel%20icarus.JPG) by Pieter Bruegel up close - a lot to see. :nod:

Same question.

[oopsycandy]

If given the chance, would you ever have synesthesia (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Synesthesia) for a day, or longer? What would you do to enjoy the experience?

[Chava]

Oh, I have a version of that... I see letters and numbers, even words in colour. I never knew it was a condition, just that my mother and brother have the same; and I just realised that Vladimir Nabokov had this too. But all the other versions, sure I'd try that. I'd go for a walk with watercolours, and paint in the forest, I'd go to a cafe and tlak with strangers, and I'd go swimming in the sea.

What colour is 'C'?

[mono]

Green comes to mind first, but, while thinking of it, I could almost imagine it as a deep blue, like . . . going back to my Crayola Crayon days . . . cerulean.

What instrument would you like to play fluently, other than the one you can already play (if applicable), if you had the chance?

[Chava]

Piano, for sure, I'd love to sit down and masterfully play whatever came to mind on such an impressive instrument.

Which author would you spend a night in a bar with?

[mono]

Yikes, hard question! Either D.H. Lawrence, Ernest Hemingway (who I would try to out-drink on wine), or Fyodor Dostoevsky.

Same question.

[Chava]

Haha, although Hemingway did come to mind, I can't help but think that I'd want to talk with Joseph Heller, especially after a beer or two.

What is the silliest, yet enriching book you've read?

[mono]

Anything by Ambrose Bierce, especially The Devil's Dictionary; The Importance of Being Earnest by Oscar Wilde also comes to mind.

Same question; I feel you may have asked that question for a reason, Chava. ;)

[Chava]

Bleh, Catch-22... :) I can't help it, I love that book.

Which act in the circus are you?

[mono]

Some sort of dare-devil act, such as the balancing-on-the-wire act, the lion tamer, or the jump-from-really-high person. :D

Free transportation provided, where would you travel right now?

[Chava]

I'm stumped, there are so many places, and I did recently get free transportation, and will be going to Paris. Maybe I'd go visit far-away friends.

Favourite mode of transportation?

[mono]

By foot or bicycle for short distance. For long distance, if feasible, I love traveling by train.

Same question.

[Chava]

I'm just gonna sound like a copycat. Bike for short/medium distance, and I love long long train rides (hence Interrailing two summers in a row.)

Is the cup half full, or is it half empty?

[mono]

Half-full - definitely a foolish optimist.

What household chore do you hate the most?

[Chava]

Sigh... Cooking, and eating, and cleaning after cooking.

Which five years of your life where the best?

[mono]

Yikes, difficult question! Either my first 5 years (1-5), when everything seemed peaceful, provided, and with so much mystery; but I recall the ages 19-24 with a time of discovery, ambition, and hardships overcome.

Same question.

[Chava]

Yeah, 1-5, and I like to think the next five years are going to be awesome.

Who's wish would you grant?

[mono]

My parents - two very hard-working, gentle, generous individuals, who always put others before themselves.

Have you ever thrown a surprise party for someone? If so, what was the occasion?

[Chava]

Years ago my best friend was moving, my friends and I aranged for her to come to my house, we would go to Tivoli (one of the oldest amusement parks in the world) she didn't know it, but all of our friends were at the house, with cake and everything. We were all covered in paint too, from the 'empty the art supplies' day at school.

Has anyone thrown a surprise party for you?

[mono]

Yes, by 10-or-so people, on my birthday in my teenage years - I think I had just turned 15 or 16 - had some good friends back then, not to say that I do not now.

And you, Chava?

[Chava]

Only 'kind of'. When I turend sixteen I had invited friends out for the day, and when we returned to make a bonfire in the garden and roast marshmellows, my mom and brother had arranged a Pink surprise... Napkins, and pink heart shaped ballons, everything. They thouht it was a riot, I was mortified at the time, but played it 'cool' or at least that's how I remember it...

Which age do you look foreward to?

[mono]

Ugh, 26 felt so strange to me. Ironically, I look forward to 30 - one of those transitional ages where you have aged enough that people take you seriously, but still young enough to act daring and have fun.

If you could go back to an age, which age would you prefer?

[kilted exile]

3, just old enough to enjoy what you are doing and understand things, but young enough that folk will still do everything for you

Same Q

[Pensive]

A few months. Wouldn't have to bother about anything :D

Same question.

[kiz_paws]

Twenty-five was a magical year.... so that's my druthers. :nod:

What holiday do you enjoy best?

[NikolaiI]

Janmastami

same question

[crystalmoonshin]

New Year's Day!!!

What's the sweetest thing you've done for a loved one?

[maraki16]

i've done quite a few sweet things....i cannot really remember one now....does comfort him for hours count as a sweet thing?


is there anything you have done or said for which you are not proud of?

[jekan blazer]

yes i told my mom i hated her....



what is your favorite weather...

[a_little_wisp]

Green and gray days.

Let me 'splain...

Nono, it is too much, let me sum up.


Let me explain:
You know when it's really dark and cloudy out, just before a storm, or just after, when the breeze is just right and the leaves rustle in a tired, lullaby kind of way, and you can still feel the humming tension in the air around you? And the trees are vibrantly green against the backdrop of the sky? And after it rains how the wet, blackened trunks bring out even MORE green? Greengreengreen. And you just want to sit outside and write poetry even though you can't think of any words?

Green and gray days.

My question:

Do you read your horoscope daily?

[thelastmelon]

I hardly ever do. Haven't read my horoscope for many months.

What do you wish was different about yourself?

[Zee.]

I wish I wasn't so quick to start a fight.


Are you happy?

[Joreads]

Yes I am most of the time.

If you could be anything what would you be?

[Chava]

I wouldn't want to be anything but me, but a housecat in my next life would do.

What gives you the chills?

[mono]

Oh, all sorts of things! Anticipating anything exciting (such as, while waiting to see Nick Cave & the Badseeds, outside the concert hall, I appeared almost in a continuous chill), feeling dry things (like newspaper) sometimes sends chills up and down me, sleep deprivation (oddly enough), the cold, the warm - I think I this point, I can almost induce a chill. :D

Same question.

[Joreads]

Fear and excitement usually

When you need cheering up what works?

[papayahed]

margaritas.

Same Question?

[Equality72521]

The Complete Works of William Shakespeare (Abridged)....
and a few other substances....ahem....



Whats the best time of day for you/

[Chava]

Morning untill noon

To whom does Hamlet say, "To be or not to be"?

[mono]

Ophelia, I think, but I have not read it in quite some time.

In these threads, what subject do you think of first to make up a question?

[Chava]

I keep thinking of Giraffes? Or Komodo dragons, but theres only a limited amount of questions before that stops being amusing...

Same question (good one)

[mono]

I look around from where I'm sitting, and try to soak in something from my periphery. I have a large window to my left, forming a 90 degree angle in front of me, which overlooks a rich neighborhood, a busy street, and many pedestrians (so I ask about people, nature, travel, etc.); to my right sits a large overflowing bookcase (so I will ask about lit.); and further to my right is the kitchen (so I ask about food, cooking, etc.).

Since I last looked at my kitchen, do you like breakfast, lunch, or dinner best?

[Chava]

Breakfast is the easiest meal - yoghurt, I am very well versed in yoghurt, and müesli, with a cup of coffee. However, when I am feeling more adventurous, and actually prepare a god meal, or when others prepare one for me, I love dinner. Lunch, is a meal I tend to forget, or rather, I always remember the moment I'm hungry, and due to its inconveniant position in the middle of my life, it just bugs the hell out of me.

As addictive as thread hi-jacking has become, I'm going to bed, and will end on a less interesting question, for which the rot of inspiration might be fairly obvious;

Do you have nice fingernails?

[mono]

Funny question, but yes. I call it funny, because I have a weird idea about hands - we use them frequently as our most well-acquainted tools. I think if a person has nice, well-kept hands, it reflects upon self care. Though, at work, I have to wash my hands quite possibly over 20-30 times per night, I attend to them well.

Same question.

[Equality72521]

Well, yes and no. I usually take pretty good care of them, but since I play guitar, I find it hard to play with longer fingernails...and I tend to bite them in times of desperation and no...clippers or whatever. But overall, they tend to usually be well kept.

Favorite Band of the 60s?

[1_winged_angel]

deep purple!

[Joreads]

twilight - no I am not joking

What is the one book you feel you should read but can not?

[Bakiryu]

Great Expectations

What do you think about Bloom's Taxonomy?

[zanna]

I think it can be useful . . . helped me survive my history and english lit classes, lol!

What's the funniest or most embarrassing thing that's happened to you? (That you can share, anyway!)

[Joreads]

There are far to many to name. What I can tell you is if there is something to run into, slip over or bump into I am there - you can guess the rest.

What is the most important thing you look for in a friend

[Dori]

Originality.

What's the most important thing you look for in a lover?

[Equality72521]

Most definately wit.

same question

[kiz_paws]

I think being a good listener was one of my top-ten things I looked for in my husband.

Have you ever picked out the raisins in a baked item that had raisins in it?

[Chava]

No no, I love raisins.

Do you use a calculator for simple arithmetics?

[Schokokeks]

No. Being good at that is just a question of practice, and I'll continue trying to get there :).

What's your favourite piece of clothing you own?

[Chava]

My hat with bells, that my mom knitted for me this christmas.

No.


What would you like people to say about you?

[Dori]

Anything, even if it's only a word.

Same q.

[aBIGsheep]

It's made from the Lokta plant, made by Taiwanese women in Taiwan.

What do you say about other people?

[Chava]

I say "You can learn more about a person from what they say about others, than what others say about them"

Do you gossip?

[Pensive]

Not much, I think. I try to avoid it as much as I can. It seems to me that many of the evils originate from this thing we call 'gossip'. There are better things to talk about.

Same question.

[aBIGsheep]

Only on how slutty they are and how much it disgust me.

When you're dead and you're standing before a panel made up whatever pile of divinities you believe in, if any at all and if you don't pick one for the sake of the question, how would you introduce yourself?

[Chava]

"Hello I'm Sunniva, I hope I'm pleased to meet you"

What colour is your toothbrush?

[Equality72521]

yellow.

whats your favorite book cover.

[Chava]

hmm, for a person that has a bad habit of judging books by their covers... Not sure... I tend to naturally pick up the books with redish colours, and preferably dont have overly edited images of pretty girls or something. yik.

Is your second toe longer than your big toe?

[Dori]

Just barely.

What are you afraid of?

Who decides?

[Remarkable]

Me.

Do you still get to do homework?

[Chava]

Haha, no, no homework at Uni. It's just school work that you do at home if you fel like it. Well, if you don't feel like it you migt as well forget it.

If you were a bird, what colour would your beak be?

[zanna]

If I were a bird, I hope I could have a brilliant blue beak. =D That would be awesome.

Name a book you put off reading forever, but then finally liked, once you decided to read it.

[1_winged_angel]

cut!
what is the best book you ever read?

[Chava]

There is no way, I can answer that.

Have you ever been talked into buying a book?

[bouquin]

Yes, 2 thick ones actually. And I don't think I'll ever get around to reading them!


What talent do you admire the most?

[amanda_isabel]

hmm. not sure. things i can't do but somehow dream of doing!

what can't you do?

[crystalmoonshin]

I can't act. When it comes to performing in class, I always end up laughing because it's one way to somehow lessen my fears and anxieties. And I have a rather monotonous voice.

Do you believe in banshees?

[Oniw17]

Not really


Where do you see yourself in two days?

[Chava]

In Paris!

Where would you like to be in two days?
