Would You??

[Adelheid]

No way! I used to be quite afraid of going down steep hills, especially cos I sometimes lose control of my bike and crash! The rocks have no mercy you know.... neither do the hills or the roads. ;) So I always put on the brakes when I'm going down the hill... and if I knew the bike's brakes were unsure??? I'd never ride that bike in the first place!!! huh! :lol:

There was once when I went down a hill and braked too hard on the front wheel and not on the back. I ended up flying head over heels through the air, and the bike doing a cartwheel and landing on top of me....pretty spectacular. Of course, I was really grumpy that afternoon, as it was my first or 2nd day of holiday and i already blew it by hurting myself..... :brawling:

Would you rather die for what you believe or give in? (of course, before you die, don't forget all the torturers....) ;)

[mono]

Giving in, to me, sounds like a metaphorical death, involving much more self-abandonment. If I died, I would want to remain myself as long as I lived, so, yes, I would rather die (or go to prison, get tortured, etc.) for what I believe.

Same question --

Would you rather die for what you believe or give in? (of course, before you die, don't forget all the torturers....)

[Nightshade]

Die yes definetly

same q interesting

[adilyoussef]

Intresting. I believe that we are born to be tested (not to suffer). That can be a good test and a final one. To die or give in? One can be lost in making his/her mind. But the irony is that we are going to die afterwards. A life without purpose and belief is not worth to be lived. Of course I'd die for what I believe in especialy my religion although I know, and I don't deny it, it would be a difficult decision to make.

I won't say that I like your question Adelheid but I love it.

Same Q


Would you rather die for what you believe or give in? (of course, before you die, don't forget all the torturers....) ;)

[Loki]

Mmm, I'd give in, as long as I didn't have to change my own beliefs. If I had to change my own beliefs...well I *can't* do so intentionally anyway. I wouldn't die for what I believe in, I mean, what's the use? It's not like I'm...some sort of romantic hero or something. :rolleyes:

Would you secretly eat a whole cake at a birthday party if there was only one, leaving nothing for anyone else? (Let's just say you know you can't get caught)

[Rosevn]

Your Q is fun, Loki :). I would not cuz simply I dun like that act.

You are fond of cake, rite?

Same Q.

[Adelheid]

:lol:! Just like Loki.....good ol' Loki. :D Nah... I don't think I would. Wouldn't you get sick of eating a WHOLE cake??!!

Would you rather eat a healthy meal before you die knowing it's your last, or an unhealthy meal, not knowing it's your last? or neither? ;)

[Nightshade]

Ummm Id eat somthing YUmmy not nessearally either whatever I fancy OOOO maybe brussels sprouts :D

Ummm was this a big birthday cake or little birthday cake muffins? I love cake! Huum maybe I would maybe I wouldnt ....
I wouldnt do it secretly though especially if its MY birthady cake Id say" ehhem thanks for the great preseant Ill just go and enjoy it now";)
Cake Q again
Would you secretly eat a whole cake at a birthday party if there was only one, leaving nothing for anyone else? (Let's just say you know you can't get caught)

[Ancestor]

Nope, could not even if I wanted to because my stomach is not big enough for the whole cake. Although if it were chocolate I would give it my best try although my waiste line would grow afterwards.

Would you marry someone if you only knew the person for two days?

[Loki]

Ah, no thanks. :D You know the saying..."Marry in haste, repent at leisure." I wouldn't want to take that *too* far, but two days? Too soon! :D

Same question (good one).

[adilyoussef]

I'm not crazy to do so. Two days is nothing compared with the whole life that you'r going to spend with that person. Once married, you are bound with your partener for life. Why getting married and then looking for divorce to repaire a mistake done in two days time. Only an emotionally fool will do that. So better be carful when choosing than regreting it the rest of your life.

Would you tell the truth, at any condition, or not, according to the situation?

[mono]

Though it may involve some pain, I must say yes, and, for this reason, I try to avoid trouble, so that I will have no reasons to lie.

Would you pick a flower out of someone's prized garden for a loved one, if the garden's owner did not see?

[Chava]

I think i would leave it there, i presume the owner of same prised garden would appreciate it more than some loved on. Besides, some of the most simple flowers are some of the most beautifull.

Would you ever seek to fulfill something you dreamed the previous night?

[adilyoussef]

Dreams are the outcome of our desires and thoughts. In a way or a nother you'll find yourself seeking to fulfill them. Why get in haste? One day or a nother they will be fulfill, at least partially. So I wouldn't.

Would you give up what you are up to when facing difficult conditions?

[Aurora Ariel]

No, I would do everything I could to change the conditions.I would at least attempt to turn the negatives into positives and try to have some control in my own life, by been reflective and using the strong faculty of reason to make an improvement.


Would you board the first mission to mars if there was a high probability that it would fail?


Note:This is the first manned flight, so there is no guarantee
that this space ship will work, though there has been many
safety checks and tests before, without cargo, and all of
the necessary regulations are in place.

...or would the exploration, scientific advancement, chance to view
and analyse mars in person, and be remembered as the first human
in history, on a mars mission, outweigh the risks?


REPLACING THE SHUTTLE

*The August 13th edition of New Scientist reported:

'The general-purpose shuttle will be replaced by specialised launchers
for manned flight and cargo.'

[samercury]

Hard choice...
Let's see.... first human on Mars and high chance of death or... stay right at home being nice and cozy...hmmm. Stay at home (what can I say)
My turn ;)
Learning all the secrets of the Universe to save the world from disaster (knowing that you might learn somethings that might kill you) or stay safe if your happy little world taking no chances

[mono]

Good question.
I suppose if I might learn something that might only kill me, and no one else, then sure, I would take the chance.

If you found a letter on the ground, of which the sending address lay very nearby (not quite a mile away), would you deliver the letter yourself, as a good deed, or would you put the letter in a mailbox one block away?
(this happened to me the other day, ironically, and I delivered the letter, to its receiver's surprise, but, then again, I had nothing else to do :p)

[America141]

if I knew where to go I would take it...from where I live the mail is so slow it would just be wrong to put it back into the system

If you could become rich from stealing someone's invention would you do it? (

[Adelheid]

Well, no. It would be breaking God's commandment. Wealth obtained that way is cursed.

Same Q.

[Taliesin]

No way.
We didn't invent the thing. The other person did it. (S)he deserves the money, not us.

Would you parachoot if it were 95% safe?

[adilyoussef]

Absolutely yes; even if it's 50% safe. This is a thing that I'm longing to do.

Would you chage your nationality and origings to make of yourself another person? Maybe a rich one? Coz I'v notised that many do that nowadays.

[papayahed]

Yes I would, it would be really intersting to become someone else and get a different perspective on things.

Would you ever purchase something you really didn't need because you wanted the free gift that came with it?

[Chava]

eh, well... yeah, i might... sometimes those things can be pretty nifty though!

Would you ever try to become a member of the school board just so that you could advise your principal? (if persay he was decidedly ignoring all your initiatives?)

[Koa]

No... I'm a very passive kind of person so I never take those initiative cos even when i have ideas and want to fight for them I just convince myself not to do it... I don't take initiatives easily.

Would you wait for your favourite singer/band after a concert or at the hotel or whatever just to see him/her/them?

[adilyoussef]

I don't valorise people what ever they are. No I would not. I think I see them enough on TV.

Would you do everything your beloved may ask you?

[Loki]

*Almost* everything. :D

Same question. (In a hurry)

[Kaltrina]

no, not everything.

would you ask someone to help you with a task for which you said before that you'll do it alone?

[adilyoussef]

I usualy do things alone. If I made my mind to do somthing alone, I would not ask someone to help me unless his/her help is essencial for the acomplishement of the task at hand. The quality of what I'm doing is above all. Better do things in a good way with the help of people than spoil it for an act stupid.

Would you share your home with a stranger asking for help for a short time, let say 1 or 2 days?

[mono]

I have before, but I knew the young man only slightly (and we still remain friends in good contact). If I invited a complete stranger, I would have to live alone (for others' safety), and make many, many restrictions. Regardless, if I had the space, sure, I would, to help someone.

Same question (a good one!).

[Nightshade]

Oh dear well sexist and stupid as this might sound I would share my house with a woman/ girl but never a man they couldnt be a complete stranger either Id have to either know them slightly or they would have know someone who I know at least halfish (ie not a complete stranger )

Same Q:
Would you share your home with a stranger asking for help for a short time, let say 1 or 2 days?

[Chava]

Not so long ago, we let in three refugee's from indonesia (Aceh) refugees of war, but all though we had never seen them or talked to them before, they did know someone we knew, so i guess they weren't complete strangers. To answer, i think i might be too prudish, but yeah if i had some sort of identification. there is a movie about that, can't remember what it's called, but a british guy "orders" a wife on the net, turns out she can only speak russian, and then some of her friends turn up, complete strangers to the guy and one of them goes berserk and tries to kill everybody... or something like that...

eh.. question. would you knowingly risk your life to help others. ex. A third world war zone?

[papayahed]

Yes.

Would you risk your life to save strangers? What if they were convicted criminals?

[Bianca Fransen]

Ouch, I am not very brave. I will answer 'no' to this, though I hope that I will act differently.

Would you give up your job, because you no longer like it when you have no alternative (yet)?

[Koa]

(heh Bianca, hello it's been a while! :wave:)

In theory yes, it's the kind of thing I always think I want to do... in practice I'm not sure I'd be that brave... but I've never had a 'real' job so I dont know...

Would you go to see the same show (like your favourite band's concert) for two nights in a row?

[mono]

I have done so before with no regrets, and would do it again, provided I had the essential finances and spare time.

Would you ever adopt a Machiavellian lifestyle of morals (unnecessarily complimenting others, "brown nosing," in order to increase your status - in essence, using others as a means to your advantage)?

[Nocturnal]

I might...in complete opposition to Kant, I might add.

Would you lie to save someone's life?

[volvoreta]

Of course, I lie for far less important reasons.
Would you kill to save someone's life?

[GruesomeBugman]

I could, yes, but it really depends on the circumstances surrounding the event.

Would you rob a store if you didn't have money to feed your family? (yes, it IS your only option =) )

[volvoreta]

Yes, if that's the only option.
Would you be able to torture someone?

[Loki]

Uh - no. A definite no.

Would you parachute? :D Just to change the topic from robberies and torturings and murderings and I know not what else...

Hmm, to make it more interesting, would you parachute from a high mountain that nobody had ever parachuted from before because it was not considered safe? (Jaggy rocks poking at the sky from the side of the mountain)

[volvoreta]

I am not sure. I always wanted to try skydiving but I don't think that type of mountain would be the right place for a beginner.
Would you work in the space station?

[Chava]

I don't think so. I'm much more "earth bound" than such and I can't see what's so damn interesting about space... well apart from the beautiful starscape, and the funny wieghtless feelings, the rockets, and the weird tube food, and... well no, i wouldn't.

Would you take a time out of your life for a year to live in a greek cave for a year with only books and provisions? (someone I know is currently doing that, last time he speandt some time in an indian cave)

[Satine]

Honest to god, if I had the means and no family responsibility, I would! I'd prefer a log cabin full of books, but I'd settle for a cave. I long to get back to the simplicity of life, you know? It's all just become entirely too complicated. Ah well, I can dream.

Would you eat only live insects for a week if it meant you could take a month off of work, paid vacation?

[mono]

No, I would never eat bugs, not for any reason; and, if I had such a long time off of work or school, I would probably get painstakingly bored. :D

Would you ever adopt a child?

[Chava]

potentially, but that is a question that lies to be confronted.

same question

[adilyoussef]

To adopt a child is a decision that shoud be made by both partners. If my wife or me could not give birth to child, this question will probably occur to my mind. If my future spouse in those conditions whants to, I surely will.

Same Q. It's a good one Mono.

Would you ever adopt a child?

[Kat_Orr]

Good grief, absolutely NOT. I was just fine when I was single... I don't "need" someone else to survive. When I married it was absolutely for love.

Let's see.....would you ever take a vow of silence for a period of time for spiritual growth and reflection? (have no clue where I came up with that, LOL, but it's the only thing I could think of!)

PS...hey.... now I'm not seeing the post I wrote this in reply too... I wonder if I accidently replied to a post that was earlier in the thread? LOL Anyway, the question was: Would you ever marry just to be married, and not necessarily out of love?

[Satine]

I DID marry just to be married. Not out of love. Big, BIG mistake. I'm not the only one, though.


Would you ever leave town and not tell a soul, if it meant saving someone's life you've never met?

[Nocturnal]

Would you ever leave town and not tell a soul, if it meant saving someone's life you've never met?

Hmm....I think so.
I don't think I'd get married, even if I was in love...

Would you kill someone you didn't know to save someone you loved?

[adilyoussef]

I'm not fit for killing. I don't have the blood of a killer. No I would not. My soul wont rest in peace if I do so. I can't do it.

Would you ever marry someone who has a different religion or no religion at all?

[Taliesin]

Why not?

Would you give away your dreams for some reason? (we mean those night-time dreams) Is there a thing that would make you give away your dreams?

[adilyoussef]

The only thing that may make us give away our dreams is the reality of life. Dreams are from our imagination. They are a mirror of what we like ourselves to be and how life should be. Web are gods in them. We creat and manipulate the way we like. Reality is a different thing. It's the interpretation of our dereams with the touls and means available in the real life.

Would you ever do what your parents choose for you to do? (job, clothes, school....)

[Themis]

Would you ever do what your parents choose for you to do? (job, clothes, school....)

Not everything parents do is necessarily wrong or mean or ... ;)
But, yes, I would. Or, actually, I do. Re: clothes

Would you travel to country that is curently (when you're going to go there) at war?

[mono]

It really depends on what countries continue in war. If you refer to a country in war with my country, then no, not out of prejudice feelings, but for my own safety of avoiding getting kidnapped. For other countries at war, not with my country, then sure.

Same question (good one, Themis ;)) --

Would you travel to country that is curently (when you're going to go there) at war?

[Koa]

Probably not...unless it's for a concrete purpose, like a job purpose... but not for tourism or just for the sake of it.

Uhm...same question (in a hurry :D):
Originally Posted by Themis

[Loki]

No! Not safe...not even for a job purpose. I just wouldn't risk it. I'd get another job! ;)

I liked Taliesin's question:


Would you give away your dreams for some reason? (we mean those night-time dreams) Is there a thing that would make you give away your dreams?

[Ancestor]

No not for every cent in the world would I give up my dreams. Dreams are beautiful and frightening but I control mine pretty good.

Would you strike up a conversation with a deceased person's spirit if you could see the spirit?

[adilyoussef]

I don't believe that the death can speak or that their spirit may stay in earth. I would be a good experience although I would not have the chance to do so simply because it is impossible to have an encounter with them.

Would you take medecines for all your life or do an unsertan surgery to cure an illness that you have?

[Nightshade]

I guess i would probably opt for surgery seeing my family history but Id let my family views sway my final dission because if I die then im dead thats it but they my family would have to live with it not me. Also it depends on how much the medicines would interfeer with my life.

Would you consider becoming an organ doner??

[adilyoussef]

I'v lost two organs already and I don't think that I have much to give. But after muy death, why not saving the life of a person by giving him/her what I no longer need.

Would you give up the idea of getting married if the person that you love left you for someone else?

[Nightshade]

NO dont belive in love to begin with so nope.

that is proabbly nopt a good answer so why not heres adils q again
Would you give up the idea of getting married if the person that you love left you for someone else?

[Themis]

Would you give up the idea of getting married if the person that you love left you for someone else?

No way! Otherwise, I would never get a chance to wear a white dress with a veil. .... but seriously, no.

Would you kill someone? Say, if he had killed one of your family/friends?

[Nightshade]

possibly actually probably if I was mad enough yes


same q

[adilyoussef]

Truely I don't know. Maybe yes maybe no.

Would you prefer the company of a book than of people?

[Nightshade]

definetly books are safer and they cant suprise you too much.

hum same q :too lazy to think of any ;)

[Monica]

They can't surprise you and what's more - hurt you too much

same question

[mono]

That really depends on my mood. Very frequently I prefer reading over any typical conversation with someone else, which sounds quite rude, I know, but having a really, really good conversation with someone, which seems rare, always proves worth any sacrificed time.

Same question (good one!).

[Miss Darcy]

I wouldn't be able to live without people (i.e. my family) but if the people spoken of meant general society I'd prefer a book. I'm a little shy with people whom I don't know, and though listening in on conversations can be interesting...well, there's nothing that beats a good old Shakespeare play.

Would you attend a seance? (For skeptics, let's say the whole thing has been scientifically proved. :D)

[papayahed]

Yes I would attend a seance, it may be fun.

Would you ever go on a ghost hunt with professional ghost hunters?

[adilyoussef]

I don't believe in ghost and ghost hunting. No I would not.

Would you ever leave your gests* for a book?

Sorry a spelling mistake. (Yes Glady, I mean Guests).

[Pensive]

Adil! Do you mean 'guests'?

[adilyoussef]

Yes Glady Guests. Sorry for the spelling mistake.

[Pensive]

Hey Adil
It happens sometimes so no need to be sorry :)
I think it depends on the guest. If the guestis a nosy one and has came to critisize/tease you, I would prefer book's company.
But on the same I think I will prefer to entertain guest because I can understand how odd does it looks if someone has came to our house and we have our noses in our books :p

Now my question is Would you prefer reading a book, watching a movie, doing nothing or listening to a song in your spare time?

[adilyoussef]

Reading a book.

Would you spend a whole night reading a book if you really like it till you finish it?

[Pensive]

Reading a book.

Would you spend a whole night reading a book if you really like it till you finish it?

Yeah, I would. I read my favourite book 'Mill on the floss' in this condition in summer holidays.
But it depends if next day it is school or not.
I will also like to ask the same question as it is a very good question. Nice one Adil! :)

[Insomnia]

Well I think that I would, save that I get sleepy

The book need be a real page turner

[adilyoussef]

Hi Insomnia! Welcome to the forum. When you finish answering a question please ask another "would you" question. Thanks and enjoy yourself.

[Nightshade]

Il just pretend weve still got Adil q

Yes I would actually I very seldom go to sleep unless Ive finished the book Im reading otherwise I cant sleepeep for wondering


same Q :D

[Chava]

well, i must confess i do it all the time.

Would you organise a protest demonstration if the government decided to close your favourite bookstore/club? (yes, i'm tired...)

[mono]

Definitely, yes. In one state south of me, in California, I realize that the state had to close the John Steinbeck Library near Salinas, California, which surprisingly made me feel very depressed. On vacation anyway, I planned to visit there and debate justly, but I found out about it too late. :(

Same question. :nod:

[shortysweetp]

i would like to say yes but I am just not that into protesting even though I feel strongly about some things.

Would you risk your life for the sake of being right?
example being that someone said something that you felt was wrong and you corrected them and they got angry and tried to fight you would you just let them win the argument or would you fight?

[Miss Darcy]

I'd let them win the argument. Let them think what they like. I'm a peaceful person!

Would you ever consider creating your own book of original recipes and publishing it? :D

[shortysweetp]

I put together a family recipe book with some of my own modified recipes in and once a year I update it and give it to most of the women in my husband's family.

would you give away a secret family recipe or would you sell it?

[Loki]

I wouldn't do either, if it was a secret. :D

Same question.

[adilyoussef]

I would give it away to my future wife. In this case it remains within the family.

Would you sell your favorit colection of books if you are broken up?

[Taliesin]

As an OT: adilyoussef, i read it as "I would give away my future wife"... :p

[mono]

Would you sell your favorit colection of books if you are broken up?
Absolutely not! I think I would sell one of my organs before my treasured books! :D
Honestly, however, if my own home seemed threatened by poor finances, I would have place to store my books, so if my poverty got too severe, yes, I would sell my books.

Would you ever donate your body to science, for after you deceased?
(I hear that it pays well :brow: ;))

[adilyoussef]

If it pays well, so it is not for scinece. It's for monney. anyway, I don't know. That may help other people and save their lives. But i'm not sure. Maybe i would maybe I would not.

Would you speek with your friends using your language or the one of the country you are in suposing that the language of that country is different of yours and you can speek the two languages fluantly?

[mono]

Hmmm, if I can speak both languages fluently, I suppose either would seem fitting, but it really depends on the topic of which we speak. In a crowded coffeehouse, or something, I often get annoyed when others eavesdrop on a really good conversation, especially if they have nothing to add, but otherwise, I would probably speak the common language.
I remember, sometimes, years ago, I would speak only French with one particular friend, even in public, mostly for practice. Some people, overhearing the language, would get oddly offended. :rolleyes:

Same question:

Would you speak with your friends using your language or the one of the country you are in supposing that the language of that country is different of yours and you can speak the two languages fluently?

[Nightshade]

well the question is obviously can my friend speak both languages?;) And depends on the launguages and whee I am and if iw ant strangers to understand me.

Same q

[Chava]

one of my less "nice" jokes is always to wander into administrative buildings in Denmark and ask for sometihng in Oxford english. It takes a while for people to digest this and then stammer their replies. It's not very nice, but it's awfully funny.

If you caught one of your good friends reading your answers and using them himself for an exam, would you inform the examinators, or keep quite? Remember, the examinators would eventually notice that you had identical exams, and they might penalize you for it.

[papayahed]

No I wouldn't say anything and if the question was raised to me I would ask to retake the test if there were any doubts.

Would you help a friend cheat if they hadn't had a chance to study?

[Themis]

Would you help a friend cheat if they hadn't had a chance to study?


Sure! Been there, done that ... mostly got the person to copy my mistakes. :D


Would you do something just to prove you can do it?

[mono]

Hmmm, it depends on the task, as I can think of some fairly odd things which I might have the ability to do, but I would rather not attempt. If the task proved safe and interesting, then sure, but no otherwise.

Just to twist some of the questions above me, if you had no/little time to study for an exam, and your friend offered you to cheat, would you?

[shortysweetp]

probably not either I learn something or not I dont feel comfortable cheating on exams (now I might copy homework every now and then)

would you study for a trig test even though you think its going to be easy?

[adilyoussef]

Yes I would study for it. I'm not an easygoing person.


I remember, sometimes, years ago, I would speak only French with one particular friend, even in public, mostly for practice. Some people, overhearing the language, would get oddly offended. :rolleyes:

Good mono that's the point I want to get to. people usually get offended when overhearing others speaking a language they don't know.

Would you betray your frind, knowing that you may lose his/her friendship, if that may help you finacially, supposing that you are really broken up?

[Koa]

I dont think so... I'd rather try and ask my friend a loan... I hope I'd act like this at least...

Would you invite a person to come to a place (a concert or a museum or whatever event you want to attend) with you, just to be polite and not cos you really care about the person coming with you?

[Ancestor]

Would you betray your frind, knowing that you may lose his/her friendship, if that may help you finacially, supposing that you are really broken up?

I was answering adilyoussef's question when Koa popped in before so I will answer his also.
Would you invite a person to come to a place (a concert or a museum or whatever event you want to attend) with you, just to be polite and not cos you really care about the person coming with you? Yeah, because I would not mind take someone with even I did not really care for the person. The person would have to want to go and if I can share something I do.

adilyoussef answer: No I would never betray a good friend for anything in the world because I survived through terrible times before and would survive what is to come. Here is a two part question for you all.

Would you cut yourself off from every single human being you know? Would you be happy never making new friends or contacting anyone ever again?

[Koa]

Sometimes I thought I would...I kinda even tried...Now I discovered my social side so I probably wouldnt...

uhmm...my old question again:
(sprry ancestor, your answers are too politically correct ;) If that's your way to be then I'm not complaining, just I was hoping some more evil kind of answers...er im not trying to discourage the next one...)


Would you invite a person to come to a place (a concert or a museum or whatever event you want to attend) with you, just to be polite and not cos you really care about the person coming with you?

[samercury]

...Sure if they don't relly annoy me a lot- especially if they really want to go to the event.

My turn:
Would you stand outside a building in the winter (temperature -20 degrees F and snowing) just to catch a glimpse of someone that you idolize? :D

[Nightshade]

someone no I dont think sobut would i satnd outs side in winter staring up at abuilding
yeah been there done that I love buildings..........

hummm question question
Would you dress up as a pirate at work and generally make yourself a laughing stock for the entertainment of little kids if you knew the newspapers were coming???
:brow:

[Ancestor]

Sometimes I thought I would...I kinda even tried...Now I discovered my social side so I probably wouldnt...

uhmm...my old question again:
(sprry ancestor, your answers are too politically correct ;) If that's your way to be then I'm not complaining, just I was hoping some more evil kind of answers...er im not trying to discourage the next one...)

Do not be sorry Koa I had not realized I was politically correct with my answers. Thank you for opening up my eyes there. :) I do not know if I can do evil but I shall try. As for Nightshades question you bet I am always making a laugh stock of myself plus I do not care what people think of me anyway. Besides anyone who laughed at me I would have to kill them later. :p

Would you go nude for one full day and that means going into work, school, or anywhere outside your house? :banana:

[Themis]

Would you go nude for one full day and that means going into work, school, or anywhere outside your house? :banana:

No. Because it's 'contra bonos mores' (even if not against the law which I believe it might be).


Same question, can't think of any other right now..

[adilyoussef]

Willi willi willi willi. Nude, and in public for a whole day! I even don't think about it. I can't see myself nude in front of people. No and never.

But it is intresting as a question. Same one. I want to read others opinions.



Would you go nude for one full day and that means going into work, school, or anywhere outside your house? :banana:

[papayahed]

Is there a reason for going nude, I probably would if there was a reason, like I won a 100 dollars or something, but to so it just for the hell of it probably not - although I'm not sure how far I would get walking around nude I'm sure at one point I'd be hauled off to jail.

Would you pose nude for an art class?

[mono]

Okay, I have a confession about this one. A friend, a good friend, once took an art-drawing class, and she needed a model - not a beautiful model with a perfect figure (obviously) - and she asked me, privately, so I did. For a whole class . . . maybe.

Same question (good one, papayahed).

[Chava]

Well, i am an artist, so yes, i would. Currently trying to convince my own friends that they should pose for my arts class... hehe.. guilty smile. Not nude though. :) both accepted, and now endure ridiculously long hours of posing. Well. I think it's fun.

Same question (indeed a good one)

[Rosevn]

well I would never :D. It's not only because...hmmm just feel don't like it :brow:

Same Q (yes, interesting one! - would like to hear from Night ;) )

[Nightshade]

well Ill be blessed me :D Why me??

Nope never nuah not in a tribillion years. I used to have nightmares as a kid about somehow forgetting to put my clothes on and being in public in my underware :eek: I would never pose in the nude. And luckely Ill never be asked.


guess what same q :lol:

[shortysweetp]

maybe when I wasnt married (as in before I had my daughter). I always used to wear short shorts and low tops so I might as well of showed the rest of me. I am much more sensible and conscious of my body now.

Would you ever be an exotic dancer (stripper)?

[mono]

I never could, no. Not only do I have no figure for it (short, pale, slender, non-muscular), but I would get stage-fright really easily; it would seem different for the art class, however - less . . . exotic. :D

Though I had another question in mind, I should pass this one along - same question. ;)

[Koa]

never ever... i hate to be the center of attention, and i hate to show myself...and i'd be sooooo bad at it lol it's funny even to think about! (for the naked question, i'd say no in every possible way! i even dont like it at the beginning of summer when i have to start wearing short sleeves!)

uhm im lazy...same question

[shortysweetp]

no i am way to conscious of being in front of people especially being naked in front of people.

would you buy books at the library book sale even if you werent sure when you would get around to reading them?

[Themis]

I do that all the time...!


Same question ..

[samercury]

Of course- I do it almost evry week :D

Would you jump right in front of a car to save someone you really dislike (knowing there's a very high possibility that you might die?)

[YellowCrayola]

Sure, why not. I would die having done a good thing. :D

Would you have allowed Bill Gates to be born?

[Stanislaw]

yes, he's one bad dude!

Would you commit piracy for a friend?

[YellowCrayola]

No way--friendships are important.

Would you be a mascot for a football team?

[Stanislaw]

Only if they were some piratical group, lol

would you make-out with natalie portman??? :ladysman:

[YellowCrayola]

LOL! I don't think so.

Would you make-out with Angelina Jolie?

[Ancestor]

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO WAYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY! I am a straight woman who likes MEN!

Same Q! :) :p

[B-Mental]

Oh I guess so, but Brad can't be anywhere near or he gets a chop suey hand chop. I might just give him the ol' fists o' fury for the heck of it. Really wouldn't be a stretch on that one. Come on over here Angie-pie.

I couldn't help but lmao at Ancestor above. You go girl! OK this one's for straight women, or unstraight men, or straight men (they get the payment stipend).

Would you sleep with Brad Pitt (ladies no money/men$$$$)(I don't know, how much money would it take?).

[Nightshade]

eck no thanks, thanks but no thanks...

same q

[adilyoussef]

Noway thaks. I let you the honor. Just kidding. I won't do that although for money.

Would you dance nude in a show tv if you were asked to? Maybe you'll get money afterward.

[Themis]

No. And if I were to, I certainly wouldnt work on "maybe". I'd make the producers of that show sign a contract... :D

Same question

[shortysweetp]

well i gues it depends on how much money and it better be a whole lot other wise nobody is seeing me naked. (anyway I have horrible tan lines from spending all summer at the river)

same Q

[Koa]

No...I dont ever want to be on tv...even with my clothes on! Let alone that way...

I dont know if this has been asked before, if you by chance happened to travel back in time, would you change something or try to leave things as they are? (like in the movies, where if you touch something then a lot of other things change...) and I'm meaning about the world, not things in your personal life.

[adilyoussef]

Yes you are right. This question has been asked before and I'v answered it also.

I don't think that I would change anything in the past because this past does not belong to me alone. There are people involved and to shange a slightest thing it may lead to a different present that I'll be lost in. We, humans, have a restricted mind and we can't prevent all what can happen. So better let things as they are.

Imagin that one day, or night as you like, you hear a voice clearly that asks you to do somthing for the well-being of humanity. Would you strugle and fight to convince people of what you have heard and do your duty no matter the consiquences, or carry on with your life as nothing has happened?

[papayahed]

hmmm... good question. I guess it depends on what I'm suppossed to do and how loud the voice is and how ofthen I hear the voice. I believe in the "they don't really mean it unless they ask twice" boat. So I guess I would do it if the voice said it twice and it wasn't too hard.

Would you eat nothing but candy for a whole week for 1000 dollars?

[Scheherazade]

I was supposed to be paid for that week??? Where is my $1000???? :mad:

Would you consider getting a part-time job at the library even though you have already got another part-time job?

[Taliesin]

yeah, sure. Librarianism doesn't seem a very stressful job.
We like libraries, and well, perhaps people go to library after they die, as one of my world states.

Would you eat chocolate with blood (not liquid human blood, but animal blood and it looks exactly like a candy bar) when you were cheated to taste a piece and it turned out to be delicious?

[Koa]

yuck...i'm actually very suspicious of spanish food since I heard they have a sausage made with blood... anyway if I dindt know i would...and maybe if i dont think about it i'll manage that too...

would you go to a meeting in another city even if it's at night and you have to catch the train back at 6 am alone?

[samercury]

hmmm...depends on how important the meeting is and how much and want to go :D

Same question

[YellowCrayola]

No. I am afraid of the dark, especially during dawn. It's always so creepy.

Would you write your child's college entrance essay?

[Nightshade]

Nope cheating is cheating is cheating.

OK here is a situaution You need to go to work work is one hour away by train or bus, bus is $4 dollars cheaper but you get car sick.
Would you takethe bus or the train (also you are ment to be savingmoney!


yeah, sure. Librarianism doesn't seem a very stressful job.
We like libraries, and well, perhaps people go to library after they die, as one of my world states.
Thats what you think! shelving childrens books must be one of the most stressful things in the world! Also theres the satnding and smiling all day and the "yes but the book is stamped and every day after the stamp we charge yo $00.12 and if you didnt bing it back when it was due in march till september you have a fine of $30."
:rolleyes: but other than that itsthe best jopb in the entire world ( okay yes that is a subjective opinion)

[Aurora Ariel]

Well, considering that this would probably never happen to me, as I don't have a car and can't drive anyway and I don't live near a train and we have local trams(which are not that common overseas I think-except North America in San Francisco?) here in Australia, I would have to say take the bus.


Would you agree to go on a literary reality TV show?


*This just came to me recently as I thought briefly that there is probably a reality show(or at least one in progress or pre-production)for nearly everything these days and, seriously, it wouldn't surprise me if the next one is something like POETIC HOUSE, POETS IN PROGRESS or INFERNO(is that Dante calling-anyone?) -Poetic Inferno coming to a screen near you next summer!lol;)- and maby it would be about young students and those who are interested in reading and writing, living in a secluded villa in Italy or Geneva, Switzerland with some young guy who thinks he's the next Lord Byron.Sorry guys, but I think it could happen eventually ;)...

[adilyoussef]

Yes for sure. I would.

Same question. I like it.

[mono]

No, I do not think I would. Not only do I get stage-fright and camera-shy, but just the concept seems strange. A lot of fame always comes with presenting yourself on television (especially 'reality' television these days), and I would not desire that type of fame; literary fame, which I feel indecisive whether I desire it, comes with words, and never image.

Hypothetically, if you had a spare room, or something, would you shelter victims from a natural disaster?

[Chava]

Yes, without a doubt.

Tired, same question.

[Rachy]

Definately

Same question

[Stanislaw]

well... errr...uhmmm...no. I don't really trust people, I would provide food clothing, whatever, but my house is my sacred barrier from humanity.

If you had "the force" would you be a jedi or a sith?...why?

[Ancestor]

Both because I love letting out my dark side every so often.

Same Q. :)

[Nightshade]

neither I would refuse to join either side but watch from the sidelines as arenigade and helped whoever amused me most at the time :brow:

same Q
?

[Chava]

Em never seen Starwars... (i know that it's odd. But I am actually going to a starwars movie marathon this weekend to make up for it. To see all the movies old and new...)

Which animal do you most compare with?

[Aurora Ariel]

......bird.I would have to say birds as if I were given a wish to acquire another characteristic from a foreign species I would say the power of flight.To be able to travel anywhere, anytime would be awesome.I chose to be a dove as I like peace and aerial travel.I would like to have the wings of a dove.I would like to soar over the azure seas and snowy mountains and greet the morning clouds and let my wings glide with the rainbows.Also I seem to fly alot in my dreams.I've dreamt that I soar over things alot over the years.

If you suddenly found an old manuscript would you keep it yourself or hand it over to a museum?

*This intrigues me as I've oftened wondered about finding an old manuscript by a writer or finding some lost poem by a writer from two centuries ago or some secret treasure or book on an archaeological dig.The first thing I wanted to be was actually an archaeologist or Egyptologist.And a few days ago I received this surprize when I opened this book in a secondhand bookshop and found a letter by a writer dated early 1900.I casually opened a page and this two page old ink letter fell out!

[mono]

Good question. I think I would donate it to a respectable museum for others to see. Especially if it came from a very well-respected writer, I could not see keeping it to myself, but more wanting to share.

Same question.

If you suddenly found an old manuscript would you keep it yourself or hand it over to a museum?

[YellowCrayola]

I would photocopy it and then give it to a museum. :D

Would you prefer fame or respect?

[Chava]

Respect, of course, fame is so ridiculous, and if it feels important, then it should be won through respect.

Would you stand up in the middle of the central station and talk loudly to yourself, with a crazed look? (Oh the joy)

[papayahed]

Would I? The question should be how many times have I??


Would you steal a one of a kind art piece, knowing that you were going to send the money for said object to the person you stoled it from in a week?

[adilyoussef]

Why trouble my self. i don't think I would.

Would you invite a crowd of unknown people to share with you a successfull or a happy event?

[mono]

Probably not, but I would invite lots of friends and family members, and encourage them to invite their family and friends, if they preferred. I would want everyone to enjoy themselves by giving them that option, but with complete strangers, I doubt I could.

Would you ever encourage neutering or spaying stray/feral cats to control the overflowing population of neglected cats?

[YellowCrayola]

That's difficult... Well, I fear cats actually, especially stray ones and an overflow would be too much to bear for me. So if I must, then I would encourage it. (I'm not heartless--if there was another way, I would prefer it. In this case, it's the only way. :( )

Would you rather travel back in time or travel into the future?

[Kaltrina]

I'd rather travel back in time, because I already know what happened then, I'm too afraid to see what future brings...

if you found a blouse in the market and wanted to buy it but a person jumps before you and takes it... would you fight over it or you'd stay silent and watch th other person buy it?

[Dailen]

I'd stay silent....why make a fight over a replaceable "noun". Besides, she
most likely won't want it after I spit on it, not to mention the torn sholder
from the tug-o-war - Naw..she can have it.

Not sure if this has been asked (too many pages to go back an read)

If you could completly cure a disabled "public" figure:
like Stephen Hawkins or Michael J. Fox (not limited to these two)
Who would you help? and why?

[Nightshade]

Oooo tough question humm diabled disabled ...how about... no that is to political sorry cant think of any I wouldnt cure a public figur I'd go back two years and cure my cousin before he dies.


same q:
If you could completly cure a disabled "public" figure:
like Stephen Hawkins or Michael J. Fox (not limited to these two)
Who would you help? and why?

[Ancestor]

It would have to be every one who was diabled or fighting an incurable disease because why should those who only are famous be cured of something that affects all kinds of people.

Would you be able to give permission to a Doctor to have a loved ones leg or arm amputated if they were unconscious and could not deside for themselves?

[Dailen]

.....................

[Dailen]

Now, I feel just terrible about this. *sigh*
So not what I was getting at.

[Dailen]

...............

[Nightshade]

Dailen stop feeling sorry for yourself NOW! :smash: Ancestor didnt say anything and I didnt say anything :) And I got the question I realsied it was a humanity vs popularity question but I couldnt decide! :eek:
Okay to get past that and answer ancestors question yes I would if it was a cut it off or die situation but not if it was a cut it off as it will save us alot of bother situation.
mind you I dont belive the second situauton exsists.

Same q its interesting

Would you be able to give permission to a Doctor to have a loved ones leg or arm amputated if they were unconscious and could not deside for themselves?

[mono]

It depends on who I had to advocate for, but I would certainly advocate for a close family member or close friend - someone I know well. Even if he/she has not told me specifically "if [this] happens, I want [this] to happen in result," which I would prefer if he/she told me once upon a time, I feel confident I could decide something in his/her best interest health-wise.

Hypothetically, if you could cure any disease/disorder, what would you choose?

[Ancestor]

whooo, ya'll took that way too personal....the question was ment to
determine if the choice would be, someone who could in some way
help humaity or would the choice be made by popularity alone.

Im also disabled.....so relax.

It was not meant in the way ya'll took it.

I got the question too and was not offended but I guess I misphrased myself when answering your question sorry Dailen.

[YellowCrayola]

I would choose to cure AIDS. Enough said, no?

A possible repeated question:

If you had the chance to meet anyone in history (the past), who would it be? (I'd also appreciate if you'd give a reason. :D)

[Ancestor]

If you had the chance to meet anyone in history (the past), who would it be? (I'd also appreciate if you'd give a reason. )

Abraham Lincoln because it would be facsinating to find out if he truly had forseen his own death.

Would you take time out to drive someone you knew to places that person needed to go if your friend could see to drive him or her self?

[Stanislaw]

:rolleyes: HolyCr@p man, pull yer self together!
Why do we fall master Dailen...So we can learn to pick ourselves up again.
One comment is not the death of you, If it were so, I'd be out in the gallows, as dinner for crows!
I er, ahem started a revolution here once, *cough* *cough* (apologies Logos)
And I don't think that there was anything offensive about your post, so to be a little harsher: 'tis life, no need to over react, get over it, move on, and hang around, just chill out... listen to floyd if thats your thing...I think I have made meself clear.




Great....It seems no matter what site I go too, I manage to upset someone.
Now I have to worry about getting banned....people hating me, and all
the other such niceties that come with the stigma of being a bad person.

Shame....I liked this place.

I'll go crawl in hole, where it seems I belong.

And not to worry- if I don't get banned, I do have short experation date -
I doubt I'll need the social interaction after that.

*hangs head*

I am sorry if I offended, I had no idea it would have been taken personal.

In the "what the most beautiful thing ever said to you" thred.
I had posted that once was said to me:
"The world is a better place with you in it"
He did not know me so well, if he saw me the way others do
he would have never been so nice.
All I seem to do, no matter where I go, I inadvertently hurt others.

ohhh...to be someone else.


To answere the Question:
I would want to meet Adolf Hitler: so that I might remove him from life, before he could affect Germany.

[YellowCrayola]

Would you take time out to drive someone you knew to places that person needed to go if your friend could see to drive him or her self?

I'd do it--it would be a great time to bond. :D

Would you give up your life for your religion/for someone you loved?

[Stanislaw]

Yes, I would for both.

Would you leave someone you love, so that they might be with someone they love?

[YellowCrayola]

As painful as it may be, I must be selfless, so yes.

If you discovered "something" that would enable people to choose what they're children would look, live and be like (similar to Gattaca, so to speak), would you share your discovery with the world or keep it secret?

[Aurora Ariel]

Share your discovery with the world.I think it's better that everyone has access to advancements, so as not to disadvantage others.I don't believe that only the very rich should benefit from things or certain improvements.


Would you keep and rescue an old ladies dog that her "friends" wanted to put down?


*This actually happened just recently.There was this old lady, who had never married and had no family, at the park who had a little white fluffy dog( like the female twin of my own little dog)with the sweetest temperament, but, she developed a neurodegenerative disease and had to be cared for in a nursing home and her "friends" decided to put down her loyal pet and they said it was too expensive to keep and they didn't want an annoying pet anyway.Note: this was a healthy dog with no bad characteristics or illness.This pet had no diseases;was not dying of something and was the perfect little pet for an old lady or young kid.She was not told what was done to the dog, which I thought was rather cruel or callous of them.I would have kept the dog myself if I was offered it or discovered what was to be done, before it was gone forever.

[Pendragon]

I believe I would. I saw on the TV where they made a little boy leave his puppy behind during the Katrina evacuation and my heart bled for that child. I thought, come on, that puppy is all the kid has left and you're taking it AWAY from him? How cruel!

Would you stop to help a complete stranger in dire need of medical assistance, even if it endangered your own life?

*This actually happened in the case of my mother on a hiking trip*

[Nightshade]

I trully dont know I think I might , I hope I might but truthfully I dont know until I got into hat situaution how I'd react although I do have a slight record with helping complete strangers if I can I dont know. I gues if I knew how yes if I didnt Id try and get help


Humm same q??:D

[mono]

I have before, and I would again, in a similar situation, if needed, taking all of the proper precautions. Before attempting anything, however, I would contact emergency services, then give any help according to my ability.

Same question:

Would you stop to help a complete stranger in dire need of medical assistance, even if it endangered your own life?

[Stanislaw]

well, yes, If I could that is. But if I couldn't I would certainly look for someone who could.

Would you break a confidentiality oath (ie. you being a priest or a doctor) if that ment handing over the person to the law?

[Ancestor]

If I knew the person was truly guilty then yes but if the person was innocent and being falsely accused then no.

Would you allow someone else to take credit for your hard work or would you fight for what is yours? Even if the person was your best friend.

[YellowCrayola]

I would definitely fight for what's mine, even it the person was my best friend. I mean, all my hard work and someone taking the credit for it? I think not.

If you had the chance to replace the name "earth", what would it be? :D

[Stanislaw]

In a word: stantopia! :D

Same Question.

[Pensive]

N-M-J-H: lol, it stands for Nourisher, Mother, joy, hardships. This is the only word that came into my mind...
Same Question...

[Nightshade]

I dont think I would change it actually I mean umm whast in a name and all that stuuf about roses and smelling etc etc

same q

[Pendragon]

Well, well.

Ah, Mother Earth, to change thy name,
Should us poor mortals try?
When ages pass, and yet thee last,
And our time swiftly flies by...

I move to pass the question...

[Chava]

utopia?

Fabulous question, i pass it on.

[Stanislaw]

heh, heh, well I would still call it stantopia!

same question

[Dailen]

renaming the Earth - I'd call it Bob.

New Question: What is the most discusting thing You've found in food.

[Pendragon]

Well, you know the nightmares of school lunches! However, the most disgusting thing wasn't IN my food but crawling around on the table--a big, black roach... I lost my appetite very quickly!

Same question, since mine wasn't actually IN the food... http://www.websmileys.com/sm/evil/2.gif

[mono]

The most disgusting thing I have found in food?
I remember I once took a microbiology class, and one project involved bringing home items to take swab samples, and observe any bactera, viruses, or parasites. Already as a vegetarian, I had to bring some sort of meat, so I brought a sample of uncooked pork, and observed the common and potentially fatal parasite, Trichinella spiralis (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Trichinella_spiralis).

Same question.

[samercury]

We did something like that in my Bio class :eek: .....

The most disgusting thing that I've ever found in food was a ball of hair- it was gross. I lose my appetite whenever I htink about it......

Same question

[YellowCrayola]

Two pieces of raw liver that myseriously found their way on my spaghetti. http://www.clicksmilies.com/s0105/sprachlos/speechless-smiley-003.gif It was so nasty--the blood was still present! *gag*
Were they supposed to look like meat balls?

Would you want to be on the Witness Protection Program? (I mean, with all the rules you have to obey and to always be on guard, etc.)

[Stanislaw]

No way: I would put my family on witness protection, and then go after the sobs. (well maybe that is pushing the forum decorum guidlines, but I have experienced this phenomenon) well, not being on witness protection, but loosing friends because of witness protection.

(wicked avy btw :thumbs_up )

Would you ever go on a "roaring rampage" so to speak?

[YellowCrayola]

Thanks. It's a dancing pill. :D

I don't think I'm capable of going on a "roaring rampage". When overcome with anger, the worst I've ever done was throw a chair to the wall, that's all. http://www.planetsmilies.com/smilies/ashamed/ashamed0004.gif

Would you want to be a stunt driver on action thriller? Say, jumping from a 90-story building with but a string of harnest on your back as your life-line?

[B-Mental]

This reminds me of a very funny joke, off color, and not suitable for this site but what the heck... I better be careful in case big sis is watching

If by roaring rampage you mean roaring like a lion, well yes I already have. If you meant going postal, then the answer is no. I am trying to avoid the violence of my past. Roooooaaawwwrrrr!

Would you ever enter those competitive food eating competions? RRROOAARR!!

[B-Mental]

drat! and double drat. Roaring at YC jk(lol)

I'd love to be a stunt driver. As long as I checked the safety of the equipment I'd jump off of most anything?

Would you ever enter those competitive food eating competions? RRROOAARR!!

[YellowCrayola]

Lol. Hmm... I'd love to be on those competitive food eating contests! I can chow down 5 hotdogs in 2 minutes. ROFL. That's not much, is it? http://clicksmilies.com/s0105/ernaehrung/food-smiley-002.gif

Would you want to work in the FBI? With all it's enigmas and mystery? http://www.abestweb.com/smilies/detective.gif

[Kaltrina]

yes i'd love to work with the FBI. I love solving enigmas but I mostly love to work in forensics.

would you work with old people as a volunteer?

[Pendragon]

Yes, I would. The only problem is I myself am disabled. That aside, I would love it! I used to go sing for residents in nursing homes and for homebound members of the family. But I am very tender hearted, and it grieves me to see them neglected.

Would you try to make friends with someone who is your total opposite, i.e., to find some common ground?

[Dailen]

Yes, I've recently tried that, it did not work out...she kept wanting
booming rap/techno on the radio, I was wanting country/classic rock.
We irritated each other.

You walk into a public bathroom and your about to burst, you notice
this is perhaps the most nasty place you've ever been. Do you, do your
best to not touch anything, or do you pray to make it to another
pit stop. (this is more of a women question) men have it easy. :)

[Nightshade]

ha oh dear laughing to hard to answer ...

Same q

[papayahed]

I'm going!!!! and I'll do my darndest not to touch anything.

Since were on the bathroom topic, Do you go #2 in public restrooms?

[Pendragon]

Under pressure, you'll HAVE to someday!

Would you deliberately eat something that looks or tastes gross in order to not appear to be rude?

[YellowCrayola]

Yes, and I've done that many times. You get the hang of it, though! http://www.planetsmilies.com/smilies/ashamed/ashamed0004.gif

Would you want to have prevented the Abraham Lincoln assassination?

[Pendragon]

I would not, no possible good could come from messing with time... However, a story about someone who tried won a short-story contest and a $50 prize for me! (He ends up causing, rather than preventing.)

Winning at a game of chance, would you quit while you are ahead, or always hope for one last big pot?

[B-Mental]

I always quit when I'm ahead. Gotta know when to fold 'em.

If you saw your boss, but didn't like him/her, would you tell them they had something on their face or just let them walk around all day with it in obvious view?

[samercury]

....depends what mood I'm in.......I say let him/her walk around with it :D but would be kind of mean oh well

Would you eat raw ramen on a dare?

[YellowCrayola]

I have, on some occassions. :D I probably would eat raw ramen again, though. Heh.

Would you want to be a test patient for a medicine that can cure a worldwide epidemic? (Like polio with monkeys)

[Pendragon]

Probably not. I think I've been a test subject for too many new drugs over the past eleven years. It's like that with a chronic illness that resonds to treatment, but when your metabolism gets used to drugs too quickly. They have to find new combinations, and so they try every new thing on the market! That's how they discovered a brand new one I was allergic to--sent me into seizures!

Let's see, what haven't we asked? Do you think you would have the patience to read Don Quixote in an unabridged edition, which I believe runs about 1,000 pages?

[Dailen]

Definately...

If you were given, 10 minutes of totally free air time on CNN,
what would you talk about?

[Loki]

I'd talk about global warming and how we should try to save our environment. :D

Continuing on the subject of dares, would you eat a hot chilli if you were dared to?

[B-Mental]

Yes, I once ate a habanero at the bottom of the Grand Canyon on a dare. It wasn't all that bad, but I chugged what was left of my nalgene bottle full of water, and then had to wait it out.

same question.

[samercury]

Yes I would :D... they're not that bad actually (with lots of water that is ;))

Would you watch the whole 1st season of the "Teletubbies" with your little sister if you were bored?

[Ancestor]

No, for one I do not have a little sister and two my little brother is 35 going on 36 in March. Three I would have to be extremely bored to watch even Barney. :)

Would you date someone who had a sex change operation who was born the same gender as yourself?

[Themis]

No way! That would be really weird ...


If you were in love with someone, would you be the one telling him/her how you feel(first)?

[Kaltrina]

No I would never do that. I'm too proud to be the first to make a statement of love...

If someone told you a secret that it concerned your best friend and you were made to swear not to tell would you do it anyway?

[Pendragon]

I try to pride myself on always keeping my promises. Therefore if I swore not to tell, I would not. A man in my humble opinion is only as good as his word.

If you were somwhow caught in a frightfully embarassing situation, would you try to laugh it off and remain calm or go all to pieces?

[mono]

Considering that I can get embarrassed either very easily or with much difficulty, while embarrassed, I tend to use a lot of humor and sarcasm to relieve myself, laughing at my faults, but falling to pieces inside. :eek2:

Same question. ;)

[rachel]

never, and i mean never. i have been alone now for quite a long time and lots of guys have come slithering about( i use that term because they knew nothing about me only what i looked like) and most are rich. but i can eat my bread where i want and sit at a table of friends wherever and go home to my children and be happy. i have friends that have done that and they look O L D just from the stress and then there's the yukky part. i would have to be so in love with someone to give that away.
but then this is just my point of view. you guys seem more either brave or less bothered by oh i don't know nervous breakdowns or being arrested for murder if you went thru with it !

"and so with a kiss i die." shakespeare's romeo and juliette

[Pendragon]

I am hurt and bleeding inside. When I asked the question:

If you were somwhow caught in a frightfully embarassing situation, would you try to laugh it off and remain calm or go all to pieces?

I did not intend any should take it as sexual misconduct, but as any type of embarassing situation, heaven knows life is full of them. I trust everyone understands that, OK? I wish to offend no one.

[samercury]

Usually when I'm caught in an embarassing situation (i.e.- tripping in the middle of the school hallway or stepping on someone's foot and making them fall) I laught it off- try to anyways. On the inside, I start crying.....

Same Question :D

[Aurora Ariel]

Well, it really depends on the degree on the situation.But if it was something quite minor, then I would not worry about it at all.Only in an extreme case would I be really concerned.I don't think everyone has to be worried much if a few laugh or if you are having a good time yourself and want to share the experience.


Would you agree to go undercover if your life was in danger?
Hypothetically:you have to give evidence to the police and they wish you to enter a witness protection program and leave all of your family and friends?

[samercury]

Of course I would if I was in danger .

Would you go live in Antartica for 3 years if you had the opportunity? :D

[rachel]

pendragon,
let me make clear that i didn't even read anything you said. i was responding to the question would you marry someone.....
i think you are referring to my comments which were directed to someone else.

[Aurora Ariel]

Sure...but I would try a rainforest first.Can get pretty cold around there!
Good preparation.Make sure I don't forget my scarf...;)


Would you buy the old property where a beloved poet or other writer once lived; and renovate it and live in it yourself or open a museum in their honour(to keep their memory and poetic contribution alive etc)?

[samercury]

Hard choice....... I guess that I would open a museum in honor

That was a good question :D
Same question

[Pendragon]

pendragon,
let me make clear that i didn't even read anything you said. i was responding to the question would you marry someone.....
i think you are referring to my comments which were directed to someone else
He who opens his mouth publicly, should apologize publically. I wasn't really directing it at you alone, but I can certainly understand how it has made you feel. I'm am very sorry for upsetting you unduly, as you had done nothing wrong and I jumped the gun. Here, before the hundreds that veiw this, I humbly ask your pardon, I was in the wrong.



As to this question: Well, as a poet/writer myself, I would probably renovate and live in it, but be careful to maintain as much of the original as possible. Perhaps some of the other writer's inspiration would rub off on me!

Same question...

[mono]

Would you buy the old property where a beloved poet or other writer once lived; and renovate it and live in it yourself or open a museum in their honour(to keep their memory and poetic contribution alive etc)?
I could never renovate such a place into my own, but would definitely devote it entirely to the poet/writer, perhaps as a museum, or a memorium. Afterwards, however, I may live very close nearby just to call myself a neighbor of this once-living poet/writer. :D

Hypoethetically, would you ever save a very loved pet to live with you, even though your apartment complex does not allow pets?

(a friend of mine seems in this dilemma presently :p)

[samercury]

If I really loved the pet then I would probably do it..... :D

Same question.........

[rachel]

Pen,
don't mention it , it is forgotten. i would definitely save a pet, i don't believe all rules are right or just and after all manmade one's can be pretty self serving.
Would you keep quiet if you saw a dear friend's loved one in a compromising situation with another woman/man?

[samercury]

Hmmm, let me think... NOOOO I wouldn't

Same question

[Kaltrina]

neither would I.

if someone does you sth wrong would you leave things as they are for further opportunities or you would revenge on him/her immediately?

[Nightshade]

sadly Id probably sit anfd plot and illabrite revenge but by the time Ive finished planning Ive decided its not worth bothering about and ignore them instead.

same Q

[Pendragon]

It is done, Rachel. Shalom.


A lot depends on whether I allow my flesh or my spirit to take control. The flesh will want revenge, that is the way of the flesh. But the spirit says "Forgive and forget." If I listen to the right voice, I'll forgive and forget...

I pass this question on to the next person...

[papayahed]

I would forget about it, some how some way they will get their due without me trying to hurry it along.

If you knew an aquantence took something from you, say a CD. If you had the oppotunity would you steal it back?

[mono]

I would not steal it back immediately, but if I asked the person on multiple occasions to return the item, then I would simply tell the person I wanted to take it back if I saw it.

Seeing that I have found myself in this position a number of times, I pass along the question:

If you knew an aquantence took something from you, say a CD. If you had the oppotunity would you steal it back?

[YellowCrayola]

It depends on what the thing is. :D If it doesn't bear much value, I wouldn't steal it back.

If you could witness a specific event in history, what would it be?

[samercury]

...........I think I would just let them keep it and not try to get it back (since they went to SUCH trouble to get it) However, my opition of s/he would go down a lot :(

...Same question

[Aurora Ariel]

I would also just let them keep it if it was not something that important to my needs.If it's something quite trivial, I would not worry about it at all; they can have it and I can always get another one.


Would you go on a survival adventure in a dangerous jungle or arid desert to test your endurance and sleep alone in nature or would you be too concerned of the threats, strange insects and beasts and seclusion from the rest of humankind?

[Pendragon]

If you could witness a specific event in history, what would it be?
As your question seemed to have been skipped, I will answer it myself. The Sermon on the Mount. I cannot speak nor understand Hebrew or Aramic, but somehow I don't think it would matter. But to hear HIM preach that great sermon, yes, I would have loved to have been there.

Please proceed to the next question which is:

Would you go on a survival adventure in a dangerous jungle or arid desert to test your endurance and sleep alone in nature or would you be too concerned of the threats, strange insects and beasts and seclusion from the rest of humankind?

Posted by Aurora Ariel

[adilyoussef]

I will opte for the latter.

Same Q

[rachel]

if i felt in my spirit i was to go, i would trust and go even if i was shaking in my shoes for i know there would be something i would have to conquer and learn and i would have to follow my destiny.

"to go where no man has gone before" startrek

[samercury]

Is it still the same question?
If it is- I would definitely go :D

Same Q

[Pendragon]

What is life but an adventure? I like what the guy on TV, forget his name, but he says "be a traveler, not a tourist." When I hike on the Appalachian Trail I want to notice EVERYTHING, which is why I'll never be a "through" hiker. They can't spare the time, they must stay on schedule. I'd go for it, the wonders of God's nature are to be enjoyed!

I pass the question. :thumbs_up

[Aurora Ariel]

...Yes I also would.I'm very adventurous and can see this as providing an opportunity to test my own limits and gain a great experience in the very heart of nature.It would be a good time to soak in the wild sites and explore a foreign wilderness, while seeking to take your mental ability to the next level, and overcome any lingering fears.I would be able to sleep under the stars everynight and power on through the threats while I'm building up my own inner strength and personal endurance.Who knows-I might set a world record and become like a explorer-hermit-researcher engrossed in the unusual surroundings and tranquil beauty of nature;as long as I remember my bed net-those jungle mosquitoes can be pretty big outthere!;)

Would you escape into the lush fields and spent the afternoon picking wildflowers and making daisy chains, even if you forget to tell your friends and relatives and they think that you have been kidnapped, murdered or runaway forever as you cannot return and have to sleep alone in the depths of darkness and dream in the flower bed?

[samercury]

yes I probably would. Why? 'cause whenever I see pretty flowers I just have to stop and look at them closely- I can do it for a long time. Whenever I walk with someone and I do that they tend to leave me behind :(. But flowers are soooo fascinating, aren't they?

Since I can't think of another one, I pass on this question :D

[Darlin]

No though I would love to linger I couldn't worry my family like that and there's always, usually, tomorrow.

SQ

[Loki]

No, I wouldn't escape into nature without telling my family first. They'd be shocked if they found I was missing.

Would you live for three months in a wood cabin in the Swiss Alps in utter solitude, self-sufficient foodwise, in the spring?

[B-Mental]

Man that would be like a dream. I used to study glaciers, and I love to snowboard on the spring snows cutting like a big butter knife. :):):)

I like it, so same question

[Darlin]

Yes as long as I had books, plenty of paper and pens and pencils I'd be in heaven.

SQ

[Pendragon]

I'll bet it's lovely there. Like Darlin, I'd need my books and writing materials. The solitude might do me good.

Pass the question...

[Aurora Ariel]

Yes, I would definately agree to this if ever afforded the opportunity.
It reminds me of poems formulated whilst one was staying around the Swiss Alps.Mont Blanc(1816), by Shelley, comes to mind.I would like to see what I could express in this natural glacial wilderness.The complete solitude would grant me alot of time for precious reflection; and serious studying in a snowy and pristine environment.But I would need at least some of my books, paper, and pens else I would get extremely bored doing nothing.I hope to visit Switerzland one day in the near future.A Winter-styled Wonderland is on my travel next wish list.

Would you travel to a war-torn nation, ruled by a cruel tyrant, to help save an endangered species from absolute extinction;even though you might be imprisoned and tortued by governmental officials?

[Darlin]

Um, not unless the dangered species was a tribe of people.

SQ

[adilyoussef]

No I'm not such a hero.

Would you ever try to have a book that is under copyright for free or buy it whatever the price?

[Kaltrina]

I think i'd buy it whatever the price.

would you buy the first edition of the book even if it costed too much, or would you just buy any other edition?

[Adelheid]

I'd get any other book as long as it's not abriged. I dislike abriged books.

Would you rather be a fool but rich, or poor (not starvation but not being able to afford luxurious items) but wise?
