Would You??

[cacian]

Absolutely.

would you say no when you meant yes?

[aliengirl]

Umm...that may happen when I'm too excited. But I'm quick to correct the misunderstanding.

Would you say 'yes' even when you really want to say no?

[Pendragon]

Would, could, and have

Would you try to cheer up a friend by almost, almost now, anyway possible?

[cacian]

I would do what I possibly can within reasons.

[Pensive]

Depends on the situation.

Would you ever support anybody in their lie?

[tonywalt]

Depends on my loyalty to them.

[cacian]

For sure.

[cacian]

Nope.
would you say yes to everything?

[Pendragon]

Nay, sometimes no is the only proper answer

Would you defend someone's right to believe something with which you don't agree?

[JuniperWoolf]

I would defend anyone's legal right to hold whichever opinion they want, even if they think Hitler was right or something, as long as they don't take anti-semitic action. Once they act on their beliefs, deal's off.

Would you eat cat if it looked and smelled REALLY good, and I gave you my word that it's delicious and was killed humanely?

[motherhubbard]

Yes. First of all people would eat ANYTHING if they were hungry enough. Second of all, it probably wouldn't bother me to much anyway. After all, squirrel is my favorite.

Would you purchase a gift for someone and decide you liked it so well that you kept if for yourself leaving them with some other, lesser gift?

[cacian]

Haha...it is a possibility..haha..
would you bake your bread everyday if you could?

[Pendragon]

I'm no cook, but I do like my wife's homemade rolls well enough to eat them everyday if I could

Would you protest at a funeral? I ask because a certain church in Kansas is doing that here, a funeral of a policeman killed at VA Tech (my son's school) last week by a gunman who then killed himself. The students plan to hold a "hands around the gymnasium" where the funeral will take place. So sad that people are that bad...and call themselves "Christians"

[tonywalt]

No, incredibly tacky. However, I would protest at a few births:smile5:

Would you ever quit this forum? And under what circumstances?

[cacian]

No unless I am asked to.

[Pendragon]

If I had the funds, yes!

Would you defend (assuming you're a lawyer) Someone you know for a fact is guilty?

Would you stay awake for as long as you can just to test your limits (my record is 68 hours)?

[Pendragon]

Yes. I made it somewhere around 50 hours...

Would you search the internet for a copy of that one book you need to complete your collection?

[cacian]

Yeah why not..

would you write your life story ?

[tonywalt]

No, can't see that i would dress up traditional chinese.

Would you wear cowboy boots?

[iamnobody]

Never.

Would you wear platform boots?

[cacian]

Of course I would..if it is appropriate that is to a party say.
would you learn a new language?

[Pendragon]

I'd love to learn Spanish, my little area here has a small, but noticeable population of Hispanic people and I'd love to talk to them in their own language. I can speak a little French, but my high school French isn't all that great, and we have no French population here!

Would you turn in a person that you caught stealing if you knew they only did it because they were hungry and poor?

[cacian]

No I would not.
would you cook for 10 people if you had to?

[Pendragon]

If they can stand my cooking, I'd do it!

Would you agree with this statement: "a wise man questions himself, the fool, others"?

[cacian]

No I don't
do you agree that violent televisionmay affects one's wisdom?

[Pendragon]

Not really. A person predisposed to violence hardly needs any encouragement, and often not even a reason

Would you say that rap music is a blight on society?

[tonywalt]

It's something on society, but yes blight is a mild word.

Would you write a book, even without any guarantee of revenue?

[cacian]

Off course! That is my plan ;)

Would you go to another country without any money?

[cacian]

No I wouldn't

would you read in a different language outloud althoug you do not understand a word of it?

[Pendragon]

Would you try to make people who cannot understand your language understand by talking louder?

[tonywalt]

No, but I have seen it happen in Spain...

Would you learn a few useful phrases before visiting a country?

[Pendragon]

Yes. Probably "How do I find the bathroom?", "How much do I owe you?", and of course "Do you speak English? Thank God!"

Would you adopt a child from another race?

[tonywalt]

I suppose someone should say "yes" otherwise this game is in checkmate.:cool:

[Pendragon]

Indeed! Would you say chess should be an Olympic Sport?

[cacian]

Yep why not

would you propose to someone if you liked them?

[tonywalt]

Yea, sure, why not.

Would you say no to a marriage proposal right there on the spot?

[Pendragon]

Yes I'd decline, since I have been happily married for 32 years

If you had it to do over, would you accept or decline a marriage proposal about which you've already made a decision one way or the other?

[tonywalt]

I would accept more, volume is key.

Would you go back to another time (albeit temporary)?

[aliengirl]

Yes, quite happily to the days when I was a little girl and dad was with us.

Would you like to go forward in time to find out what future has in store?

[tonywalt]

No, but I would go back to 18..brilliant fun..all was new..

Would you marry a guy for purely romantic reasons and throw practicality to the wind?

[aliengirl]

Nope. I'm of the practical kind. Romance is good but why not be on the safe side.

Would you divorce your spouse merely for money?

[aliengirl]

Nope. I'm of the practical kind. Romance is good but why not be on the safe side.

Would you divorce your spouse merely for money?

[Pendragon]

No way in hell!

Would you marry someone of another race or religious persuasion over-top of your family's protests?

[papayahed]

Yes, but in reality my family wouldn't protest


Would you go on a ghost hunt?

[Pendragon]

Sure! Ben to supposedly haunted places before!

Would you steal something small just to see if you could get away with it?

[tonywalt]

No, not really.

Would you turn in a sibling or parent if they had broken the law by a serious by non-violent crime?

[Pendragon]

Depends. I don't turn in my dad-in-law for hunting out of season, as he actually eats what he kills, and it is one way to afford some meat on the table.

I think I'll pass along the previous question: Would you turn in a sibling or parent if they had broken the law by a serious by non-violent crime?

[tonywalt]

No, I would not.

Same question?

[farnoosh]

Depends on the situation really.But since my parents have never broken the law by PURPOSE I don't think I'll have such a problem ever.:D

Next Q.:Would you wink at someone just for fun?(silly question)

[cafolini]

I have that habit when someone is making a stupid scandle.

Would you kill the snakes to save the mice?

[aliengirl]

Nope. This is the way nature designed it. Why should I disturb the food-chain?

Would you eat (the meat of) an animal or bird if it is endangered?

[tonywalt]

No, but I'm sure an endangered spieces probably tastes delicious:drool5:

Would you write your memoirs and publish them for all to see?

[LiraelG]

No. I'm a pescatarian. ;)

Would you dance in the middle of town to make the people there smile?

[farnoosh]

If I had a partner in crime,why not?:D

same Q?

[tonywalt]

Yes, and without a reason as well.

Would check the mobile phone/blackberry of someone you are dating for messages and then go through each one, then give him endless hassle. Arrrrgggh!! I't hypothetical...

[Pendragon]

Nay. I'm almost cell phone illiterate anyway. The wife and kids pick on me because I have trouble doing something as simple as texting...

Would you ask an obnoxious person on a cell phone in a restaurant to kindly shut up so you can have a quiet dinner date?

[tonywalt]

Yes.

No, I am an American and I wouldn't give that up.

Would you sell your birthright for a bowl of stew?

[aliengirl]

No way.

Would you kill for money if you have no other alternative for sustenance?

[tonywalt]

Only if I get to choose the victim:smile5: (the list is short, but it's somewhere).

Would you write your memoirs and publish them for all to see?

[BienvenuJDC]

No, I like to keep everyone guessing.

Would you eat peanut butter right out of the jar?

[Pendragon]

Oh, yes! A large spoonful of peanut butter is food for the Gods!

If, asked your opinion, you made an accurate statement on any given subject, would you then back down because some complained of being offended by your remark?

[PoeticPassions]

I would apologize if I offended someone, but if I thought my statement was accurate and if I truly believed in my statement on the subject, I would not back down. People will always get offended at something or other...

Would you purposely say something that is offensive just to be offensive?

[tonywalt]

No.

Would you never "burn bridges" in regards to work?

[papayahed]

Would you never "burn bridges" in regards to work?

erm.. too late, already burnt a few.


Would you peek in another person's medicine cabinet?

[tonywalt]

No.

[papayahed]

Yes.

Would you plot to get someone in trouble if they deserved it?

[tonywalt]

Yes.

Would you ever marry for money?

[Buh4Bee]

Hell, yes!
Sorry, I really mean no. I have my own back account!

Would you ever sacrifice a Friday night to babysit bratty kids for parents that really need a break?

Yes, next time I will need a favour.

Would you live in Las Vegas?

[papayahed]

Yes, if they ever built a chemical plant or research facility in the area.


Would you stop dating someone because they had really gross feet? I mean rusty rhinoceros type feet.

[tonywalt]

Yes.

Would you tell a person with rusty rhinoceros type feet why you dumped him? Given that you have already...um, seen his feet...as they say...

[Pendragon]

If I am shallow enough to dump someone over their feet, telling them shouldn't be a problem...

Would you join a Neighborhood Watch given that your neighborhood is extremely dangerous?

[PoeticPassions]

Probably not. Since I hate extra obligations. Besides, I fight crime at night anyway...

Would you intervene in a fight where three guys are beating up one guy?

[BienvenuJDC]

I would do what I think I could without putting myself in too much danger (depends on the setting).

Would you like to see Poetic in her superhero costume?

[tonywalt]

My stock answer is yes.

Would you beat someone up if you do it and could get away with it?

[PoeticPassions]

(I look awesome in my superhero costume, btw)

No. I don't like violence.

Would you beat someone up for a large sum of money?

[BienvenuJDC]

Not at all, only if it was required to protect the oppressed

Would you submit to a group of friends' evening of fun and frenzy?

[tonywalt]

Yes, and often do.

Would you willingly witness in court against your current boss if he/she was charged with a financial crime?

[BienvenuJDC]

I'd pay to be there...

Would you skip a shower for more than two days straight?

[tonywalt]

No, but then again it is quite hot here - hot and sweaty.

Would you petition against having public housing right next to where you live?And by right next I mean within 150 yards.

[Pendragon]

Unfortunately, I grew up dirt poor and lived in Government Housing. A house was right across the street from the laundromat of the complex, and just below the hill where the basketball court was. I never once heard Jerry and his family complain, even when we romped through his yard. I'd like to think I learned something from ol' Jerry about how to treat people.

Would you take in a boarder?

[tonywalt]

Yes. I have taken in a few and they were all lovely girls.

Would you sell an heirloom given your financial situation was stable?

[Pendragon]

No, I'd have to been desperate for money

Would you intervene if your friend was suicidal?

[PoeticPassions]

yes. I'd try to do whatever I could to get her/his some help.

Would you sleep with a complete stranger?

[aliengirl]

No.

Would you testify in court if you witnessed a complete stranger murdered before your eyes?

[tonywalt]

Yes.

Would you take a year off and go around the world(I mean really do it!)?

[papayahed]

With some planning yes.

Would you decide at 10 am on friday to go off for a weekend getway?

[tonywalt]

Yes.

Would you go on vacation outside your own country by yourself?

[Pendragon]

Probably. I'm a bit of a loner sometimes...

Would you walk the entire Appalachian Trail just because it's there?

[tonywalt]

Yes.

Would you accept an honourary title such as Knighthood or Lady and actually use it?

[papayahed]

I would accept it but I don't think I would actually use it every day. I might bust it out on special occasions or where I might get some perks.

If you had a dollar would you give me 99?

[Pendragon]

Cents? Possibly. Dollars? Remember I have only one as far as you know! :smilielol5::smilielol5:

Would you visit a person in prison?

[PoeticPassions]

Well if I knew the person, and particularly if I was close to them, yes.

Would you ever write a prisoner that you did not know (other than through the media)?

[tonywalt]

Yea, sure.

Would (or could you) be reasonably objective in a civil conflict? Or would you just camp with you own uum tribe, for lack of better word?

[aliengirl]

I could be quite objective during those moments. Alas! we have too much of those occasions and the media always fans the frenzy of one group or another.

Would you risk your life to save some stranger's life?

[Pendragon]

I have before. Fortunately, I was successful, and the aggressor backed off, later surrendering to authority. Not a hero, just doing what I felt was right.

Would you pick up a hitchhiker?

[JuniperWoolf]

Yes, I once picked up a hitchhiker just because he was attractive and topless. Also, everyone in my area hitchhikes, there are no busses so it's the only way to get to the next town if you don't have a car.

Would you eat cat if you were in a country where it's not frowned upon and everyone was doing it?

[Pendragon]

To visit a country would be to sample its customs, so yeah, I would.

Would you completely immerse yourself into a primitive culture, ergo: food, dress, rituals, etc., so as to study them better?

[tonywalt]

No.

Would you be a moderator for onlit?

[papayahed]

erm, yes.:leaving:

Same question:
Would you be a mod?

[tonywalt]

I don't think the "Regime" would allow such a thing- but yes.

Same question..

[JuniperWoolf]

Nope.

Would you get branded?

[Pendragon]

Definitely not my thing!

Would you shave your head?

[aliengirl]

Not for the world. I LOVE my hair.

Would you sleep in an open space without any blanket or any other covering?

[tonywalt]

Yes, if I had to do it.

Would you walk out on a job?

[papayahed]

I don't think so.

Would you try to sneek into a concert?

[tonywalt]

Yes.

Would you live in New York or London for 2 years at twice your current income?

[BookBeauty]

No.

Given the opportunity, would you learn Mandarin Chinese?

[Pendragon]

Yes. I'd learn all languages if I could.

Would you volunteer to search for a missing person who is in all probability deceased?

[papayahed]

Probably not. If it was somebody close to me or someone in my community maybe.

If you got into an arguement with a coworker would you hold a grudge?

[Pendragon]

As much as I would like to say no, the answer is probably, at least for a time.

A case in point. One guy on my job had been hassling me for weeks. I tried a lot of solutions, but no go. So I pulled a good one. When we were given our pay stubs (direct deposit), he left his laying on the work table. I copied the address, and sent him a free magazine offer on what to do if you suspect that you may have contracted a vernal disease. He got rather quiet after that, even though he couldn't prove I did it. I understand that his wife threw one hell of a fit! HA! HA!

Would you pull something like this?

[MystyrMystyry]

Amusing, but no - or at least not quite, because Bad Karma can be caused by inadvertently causing someone else grief (in this case the wife, whom, at least as far as we know, is a completely innocent party). Thus a better solution would have been to send vacation brochures to exotic locales - she may then ultimately get a bonus holiday, and he may be the one who has to foot the bill.

Would you post back all advertising junk clogging your letterbox for a year to the senders, without stamps, until they get the message?

[BookBeauty]

Nah. Advertisements are best ignored, in my opinion. No need to waste energy on it.

Would you go sky-diving?

[Pendragon]

Probably.

Would you go back in time if you could?

[BookBeauty]

Of course. But, only if I didn't cause parallel time lines that could erase all existence as I know it, and other crazy paradox issues.

Maybe if I could just go back as a harmless observer. :D .. We are talking history, right? Or do you mean, would I go back and change my own actions if I could? Again, of course.

Would you eat at McDonalds?

[tonywalt]

No.

Would you join a demonstration?

[Sancho Panza]

Not really, I prefer to voice my opinions from afar, in the safe and cosy confines of home. Confrontation is not for me.

Would you rob a bank if you could be certain you would get away with it?

[Pendragon]

It would be awful tempting...

Would you cheat on your taxes?

[BookBeauty]

Nah, I couldn't.

Would you burst into dance in the mall randomly, if you knew others would join in?

[Snowqueen]

Maybe not.

Would you cheat on your wife?

[BookBeauty]

Never. Not for anything.

Would you join Greenpeace?

[Sancho Panza]

No, for the same reason I wouldn't join a demonstration. I would cheer them on from afar though as what they do is great.

Would you cut off your right hand in order to get into heaven?

[BookBeauty]

No. Mostly because I can't take the concept of 'Heaven' seriously, but also because I don't see the sense in cutting off one's hand for any reason, unless it were life-or-death, or saving the life of a loved one. Kind of reminds me of the Saw movies.

If it was proven to be both hygienic and incredibly healthy (We're talkin' miracles here!), would you eat live worms, and/or insects?

[farnoosh]

No. I don't think they taste that good.:P

Would you dare someone to kill a cat?

[Pendragon]

Never! Always have loved cats!

Would you own a very large and very dangerous dog?

[BookBeauty]

No, I don't think I could handle the responsibility.

Would you go to a life drawing session?

[tonywalt]

Yes.

Would you live in a country that has long cold winters? {of course, question for those who live in warmer climes}

[aliengirl]

I may but I would get bored. I love sitting out on the terrace on moonlit nights.

Would you keep a horse if someone gives it to you as a present?

[Sancho Panza]

Of course, it would be the ideal replacement for this dinkey I've been riding around on all these years.

If literature was made illegal, would you risk it?

[Pendragon]

Absolutely!

Would you burn what are deemed to be "controversial books"?

[Sancho Panza]

Certainly not, I'd prefer to collect them.

Would you buy a book that had been written by a known criminal?

[BookBeauty]

Yes. Let us not forget: Many great literary works were the subject of the minds of criminals. It provides insight into the human psyche, Freud's superego, the id, and so forth. Many great literary works were the subject of such scrutiny.

Would you commit murder if it meant protecting a loved one?

[Delta40]

Since we're all capable of murder I'd say yes under the right circumstances. I'm not sure what those circumstances would be, although it would probably have to involve my children rather than any other family member.

If you found an ingenius way to evade tax saving you $$$$ per year, would you use it? Would you tell others?

[aliengirl]

No. I would not indulge in such a guilty pleasure. ;)

Would you sing aloud at midnight?

[Sancho Panza]

I would and often do, provided growling along to Heavy Metal counts.

Would you eat food that's past its sell by date?

[BookBeauty]

Yes. Unless it smells weird, or looks weird. And when it comes to cheese, you can always cut off the green parts. :D

Hypothetically, you've been given a ticket to a free lecture on Molecular Physics... By Stephen Hawking. Would you attend?

[Pendragon]

No. It would all be far over my head

Would you drive recklessly if no one else was on the road?

[Delta40]

No. I don't hold a driver's license.

Would you donate a kidney to an estranged family member if you were their only hope?

[Pendragon]

Probably, although estranged family members are usually estranged for darn good reasons...

Would you try to find your birth parents if you were very happy with your adoptive parents?

[aliengirl]

Nope. Some secrets are better left unveiled.

Would you go on a world trip all alone without informing your family of your plan?

[Pendragon]

No. I wouldn't have them worry about where I was, or if I was alive

Would you join a cult?

[BookBeauty]

It depends.. Do they have cookies, or koolaid? :D

If given the opportunity to take a space shuttle to one of Jupiter's moons, separated by friends and family, would you?

[tonywalt]

No, I would need at least a friend.

Would you resist a military draft order in Peacetime?

[BookBeauty]

Nah, it'd be a good experience, and it'd toughen me up! Give me much-needed discipline!

If given an instructor for the craft, would you learn to carve wooden statues?

[Pensive]

Sure! I am very interested in art and crafts.

Same question!

[Pendragon]

Sure! I'm currently taking up pipe carving

Would you shop on line?

[BookBeauty]

Sure, and have done.

Would you purchase an exotic animal, such as a ferret or ostrich?

[aliengirl]

Nope. They feel better in their natural surroundings.

Would you ring up your friend at 2 a.m. just to tell him to go to sleep early?

[Pendragon]

Aye, as a practical joke!

Would you pull an elaborate practical joke on a friend or co-worker?

[papayahed]

yes

Would you tell a friend her mae up looks bad even though you know she'll be mad at you?

[BookBeauty]

I don't think so. I wouldn't want to cause unnecessary conflict. Make-up is such a trivial and insignificant thing to gripe about.

If your friend asked you for your honest opinion about their weight, and you thought they were quite fat, would you admit it?

[Pendragon]

Yes. I have often told people not to ask for my HONEST opinion if they don't really want it...

Would you feel obligated to marry someone with whom you are having a child?

[BookBeauty]

No, but I do not define marriage as a necessity to remain in a serious relationship. I would feel obligated to be with them, because I loved them enough to conceive a child with them.

If you had to choose between taking the life of a beloved pet, or a random individual, would you choose the pet?

[papayahed]

yes


Would you drive three hours for a really good meal?

[BienvenuJDC]

Only if it was with good company

Would you walk around in your kitchen in the buff if the neighbors could possibly see in?
(Would you look in your neighbor's kitchen if...?)

[iamnobody]

No, and, of course. (Not a full-out ogle, but I'm sure I couldn't help but look.)

Have you ever worn pajamas as regular clothes?

[papayahed]

no.

Would you join a rock band?

[Quanika]

never

Would u like playing online games?

[tonywalt]

I play poker online - so, yea, sure.

Would you take a "package" deal from your company(not owned by yourself) if it were one year salary for redundancy?

[papayahed]

Probably.

If your flight was delayed and you didn't get home until after midnight would you go in to work late the next day?

[tonywalt]

Oh yes, definately.

Would you consider doing 'adventure tourism' in say... Iraq?

[BookBeauty]

Well, I'd consider it at least, if it were presented with full accommodation...

You've found a 20 dollar bill on the ground! Would you look around for the owner before pocketing?

[Veho]

I probably wouldn't pick it up. I'd just leave it for the next person who came along. Someone once told me to consider what if it'd been the last money of a poor mother or tramp and they came back to trace their steps and it was gone. I sound awfully self-righteous, don't I. I don't mean to though.

Would you have an affair with a married man/woman? :aureola: or :devil: ? :D

[Delta40]

No I wouldn't because I deserve better than:

a) A person who wants the best of both worlds without any responsibility for their actions
or
b) A person who is unhappy in their marriage and uses other people to escape.

Would you turn in a drug addicted friend to the police if you knew it would get them the help they needed?

[BookBeauty]

If I knew? Hmm... I don't think so. Because I don't think I could really know it would get them the help they need.

But, if I'm humouring you and assuming that I do know anything, let alone this, for certain, I probably would.

I was the kid on the playground that tattled on other kids when I thought what they were doing was wrong, and if I thought that tattling was the right thing to do. I didn't have any friends for that reason. I was too honest. Social ineptitude for the win. :D

If you witnessed a man or woman in a grocery store with their child, being rough and, in your opinion at least, borderline abusive (Grabbing, dragging, etc) , would you intervene with their parenting methods?

[PoeticPassions]

No, it's not my place to do so. Though if they were severely beating the child, I would have to at least say something.

Would you?

[BookBeauty]

If I thought they were being borderline abusive, I'd call them out on it, yeah. They may continue, or because they've been given a public spotlight, maybe they would re-evaluate their choices.

Sometimes we do the wrong thing without knowing it before we're shown. A recent study shows that people who do unethical behaviour only do so because they are not shown disapproval by people in public.

I'd likely approach them and say something along the lines of, ''I'm really very sorry to bother you, sir or madame, and I don't wish to push my beliefs on you or to be rude, but I think that the way you're treating junior is disturbing the customers as well as the employees.''

At worst, I could be insulted, or attacked verbally for speaking out and going into another person's business. If attacked physically, then that would prove the justification of my speaking. In either scenario, the perceived consequences of my actions don't bother me.

Would you be dishonest everyday in order to live forever, or tell the truth and die tomorrow?

[martunia99]

be dishonest for a while and then when I would get very old and all the people close to me would die I'd tell the truth.
Would you bath in someone's blood in order to look young and live forever?

[tonywalt]

I have never thought of it, but in a word or more - No, I doubt it. Plus it is too hypothetical for my way of thinking.

Would you write a book without an advance?

[DocHeart]

Sure, if royalty percentage was decent, or if the publisher was female and was at a time wearing a blouse that allowed her bra shoulder strap to show. (I'm cheap. In reality, I'll write for jar of olives.)

Would you eat a can of dog food if there was nothing else in the cupboard (and the dog had already eaten)?

Would you like to travel back to the past? Before answering, remember that anything you do there might effect the course of history.

Would you change your major if you were to go back to school?(Old question, but good)

No, probably not... there's nothing to change my major to... I picked my major by default (it was the only one left after I ruled all the others out), and that pretty much remains the case to this day!

Would you tell your professor (or boss, or whomever, an authority figure) if they had their fly down or something in their teeth?

Would you keep a chicken as a pet?

[tonywalt]

I have a few chickens in my yard, so i've kept them mostly for Sam (my welsh corgi) who thinks of them as a sort of dog.

Would your memoirs, if written honestly, be better off with a pseudonym and and your real identity unknown?

[papayahed]

I have a few chickens in my yard, so i've kept them mostly for Sam (my welsh corgi) who thinks of them as a sort of dog.

So your pet has pets??? That's cute!

Would you admit your weakness in a (cliched, but still used) job interview format?

(Quite easily the most abused question in the Corporate World-and anyone who would or did answer it honestly is now a Stub of a person marginalized to a Dilbertan Dickensian Cubicle ("DDC") and at this very moment is contemplating finding themselves in India (or Possibly Rio).

[lilimarlene]

I would only admit to a weakness that was unimportant.

Would you marry someone you were not in love with for practical reasons?

[aliengirl]

You need to elaborate upon 'practical reasons'. If a hundred innocent lives or the fortune of my nation depends upon such a marriage, I'll jump into it. Who knows I may come to love that person later on? Love is a very unpredictable feeling. You may develop it for some quite unlikely persons. Likewise you may come to dislike/hate someone you've deeply loved.

Have you come to dislike/hate someone whom you adored in the past?

[tonywalt]

No.

yes.

Would you like someone is much different* than you or similiar interests?


*Much different - Someone who just doesnt read books for example. Purely practical and void of conversation of any intellectual depth. In summary, someone who would never get on this forum. But intelligent/smart - essentially utility driven.

[lilimarlene]

common interests are important but more important for me are core values and emotional needs. In a perfect world we could have it all but I think I have a 1 in a million chance of that happening. I have also been in relationships where we had lots of interests in common but there were fatal character flaws that I overlooked because we were a good fit. I require someone intelligent and cultured that enjoys communicating but my criteria would not be if they could have a conversation about a book I had read. Of course I would need them to share some things in common, but more more importantly for me would be, did they have integrity? could they express and show love? could I depend on them if I needed them? were they kind? did they have a good sense of humour? were they stable? could they fit in my life, did they make me happy?

Would you ever say yes to someone even if you meant no?

[tonywalt]

Yes. But deliberately.

Would you ever try to publish?

[lilimarlene]

yes...my memoirs as they would make for an interesting read :-) ( strange I was going to ask this Q as well as the 'how many careers Q' in 'this or that')

Would you go back to a particular point in your life to reverse decision you made if you could?

[togre]

No. It's not that I haven't made (major) mistakes, but I know that I still do. I'd rather live at peace being forgiven for my faults than be scrambling to undo the past when I'd be sure to muddle it still.

In what type of competition would you most highly excel when compared to the entire population?

[lilimarlene]

as a certified bon vivant I excel at enjoying myself and socialising. There are very few that can rival me in this field :-)

would you ever consider egg or sperm donation?

[tonywalt]

Hell yes. There was good money in that during the lean college years. (Wonder if you still get magazines or if the fluffer tools are now digital - must check it out).

Would you ever head up/lead a volunteer orgainization?

[lilimarlene]

[tonywalt]

Would you live in Las Vegas for a year for a 30% increase in compensation(but you must stay in Vegas)?

[tonywalt]

No.

Would you go to a military parade and hold up a support the troops banner or similiar after a very far away foreign military campaign that was not a direct threat to your country and not a humanitarian campaign? - (hypothetical question, as many countries don't engage is such campaigns).
