Would You??

[tonywalt]

probably.

Would you want them after your twenties?

[lilimarlene]

(what makes you think I'm in my 20's?)

I haven't completely decided yet,(BIG lifestyle change!!!) but if I did . yes

Would you ask these kind of Qs to someone you didn't know face to face?

[tonywalt]

Yea, but not in a bouncy charming sort of way.

Would you go to the Indian (or kebab shop) after a night out?

[Delta40]

Only if I was drunk

Would you perform in a play where you had to strip naked?

[tonywalt]

Yes. Whether the audience wants that - well, that's another story.

Would you?

[lilimarlene]

ooooops delta40 beat me!!!)
yes in fact I already do... go for kebab and indian food that is ...not naked well naked but not in a play

Would you ever donate an organ in order to save other person's life?

[Delta40]

In the name of art? Probably. I saw a play lastnight where exactly that happened

Would you change lanes during a traffic jam or stay put?

[lilimarlene]

yes I do constantly

Would you ever slap someone for something they said or did?

[tonywalt]

Stay put.

oops. lili got in quick. No, unless they wanted me to- and not in the face...

Would you have a pet other than a dog or cat?

[Hawkman]

Yes, in fact I do and have, but they're working animals too. Doesn't pay to cuddle a ferret, but my hawk was very affectionate. {edit:} I was married once, does that count?

Would you ever do or say anything that would get you slapped?

[Delta40]

all the time but people are civilized enough not to slap me

would you be uncivilized enough to slap someone?

[Hawkman]

That would depend on what they said or did...

If you found a wallet would you keep the cash and chuck it?

[tonywalt]

No. I would return it!

Would you steal little stuff from work? (ya know, odds and ins)

[Delta40]

No but if there was no ID in it, I'd have a dilemma (the police are so corrupt!)

Would you?

[Hawkman]

Tony: Well, the odd case of plutonium might come in handy one day :D

Delta: I haven't yet.

Would you drink a chunder cocktail? (I'm talking real chunder here, and I've seen it done...)

[Delta40]

You mean vomit?

ack no!

what reason on earth would you?

[Hawkman]

Don't ask me, ask the student who did! I think it was a dare thing...

Would you be prepared to assinate a politician?

[lilimarlene]

no

would you be able to shoot someone that was just about to kill someone else?

[Hawkman]

That would depend on who they were going to shoot. If it was a politician then probably not.

Would you give your phone number to a complete stranger?

[lilimarlene]

if he was very charming and attractive, yes!

Would you ever consider going skydiving?

[Hawkman]

Go on then (just kidding)

Yes, I'd consider it.

Would you be prepared to hunt kill and cook your own food?

[Delta40]

If I had to. The chooks in my backyard beckon...

Would you do the dishes?

[lilimarlene]

(:smilewinkgrin: hawkman)

aaaaaaahgggh!! again Deltra has beat me!!!

No, I hate doing dishes


Would you read your partner's (gf/bf/wife/husband)diary if you found it and they weren't around?

[tonywalt]

no, that would come to no good.

Would you really truly and wholly trust your boyfriend/husband in carnal matters?

[Delta40]

ooh diaries! Now this is the rule in my house. They are private UNLESS they are left in a public area!

Would you read one?

[lilimarlene]

oh goody I get to answer 2 Qs!!!!!

Delta: yes, I would read a diary but only if I suspected something.

tonywalt: some bfs I have and some I haven't (those are the ones's who's diaries I would read :yikes:)Bottom line I do believe there are men you can trust, I generally can sense the ones I can't

Would you forgive someone that cheated on you?

[tonywalt]

If a girl cheated on me. Hhhm, that's a bit different. uum, I don't know-maybe. Depends on the whole picture. I've never had the situation.

Rant: i don't believe you girls. The girls I see DO go through my blackberry when I am not there(twice this year it happened). I know it. I let it slide cuz they cannot resist the temptation?

Further rant: Also they get their gf's to get tabs on me when i go out(that's annoying) "so and so saw you at...."

Why do such a large % women so desperately want to dig through "a guys stuff" even early on in the relationship?

[lilimarlene]

I can't speak for all females, but I don't usually ever go through a guys stuff. The only time I have done early on(I think it's been only once, maybe twice) is when I suspected that the person I was dating was a player and was pretending he was a nice guy. …and I was right! So then I knew how to proceed. The other time was in a long term relationship and I felt he was cheating and he was. I have very good intuition but sometimes I don’t follow it cause I’m practical and need proof. When I told a few of my gfs what I had done they were horrified as they would never do such a thing. If I do something like that I know I'm with the wrong person cause if I had a lot of respect for someone I would NEVER do such a thing.

But if this has happened twice this year with I assume 2 different gfs, you either are attracting very intrusive suspicious people or you are giving off some conflicting vibes.

Re: the girlfriends seeing you out....Do you think the gfs were following you? And if they were how old are they?? Or is it possible that they were out and saw you and then told your gf which is a perfectly normal thing to do. That is not exactly spying on you. I think it's perfectly normal to mention to your friends that you saw their friend or bf or gf or brother or sister out, I do it all the time and not because I’m checking up or spying on them. I don't think there is anything wrong with that not unless you have something to hide. I have had friends of bfs do the same thing…Oh sos and so saw you at the supermarket, gas station etc …it’s no big deal.

I have gone out with a number of guys that were very possessive and jealous for no reason. They tried to go through my phone (it's locked, but only because I've lost a couple of phones in the past). I have been stalked etc etc. So it can work both ways.

So why would you continue to go out with someone that went through your blackberry?

[tonywalt]

Funny enough, they all stated the same thing(verbatim) you just stated as the rational for looking in my blackberry. It's still uncool. They didn't find anything but very old sexts.

The girlfriends spying thing is ok, but the context was a warning "I know where you go" - smart move on their part. Also, familiar with this one sense teens. My only "sin" was not committing to the degree they wanted.

Answer: I would continue to go with the girl and just be practical(lock and password).

Would you convert to a religon(no attendence necessary, just the mere formality-a boxtick) for someone you are going to marry or partner with?

[lilimarlene]

(So I'm curious how did you know that they had gone through your bb if you weren't there? and re the gfs friends, so anytime someone you are dating has a friend that sees you out and they mention it that automatically means they are trying to send you the message that they are keeping an eye on you instead of just making conversation and why would that be a "smart move on their part" ?? On a personal level I can say I hope I never feel the need to do that again, I have gone out with lots of people that I would never dream of doing that too. I just need to be more selective in the future)

no, I would not.

Would you lie to help a friend?

[tonywalt]

Yes.

Would you consider changing careers at this point?

[lilimarlene]

yes, I like change and a challenge.

same Q

[Delta40]

Not right now

Would you go on an unknown adventure?

[lilimarlene]

yes, I love adventures.

Would you run into a burning building to save a loved one?

[Hawkman]

Life is, isn't it? You never know what's around the corner. All one can do is try to be prepared....

If you saw someone like a skinhead being obnoxious to an individual from an ethnic minority, would you tell the skinhead off?

[lilimarlene]

yes, I'm small but brave and I hate bullies.

Would you declare your love for someone even if you weren't sure what the response would be?

[Delta40]

err I'm deliberating that very dilemma....I'll keep you posted

Would you kill one to save the many?

[lilimarlene]

:thumbs_up(good luck with that)

no.

Would you give money you couldn't afford to others because they needed it more?

[Delta40]

no - must be the scottish in me.

would you donate your organs?

[Hawkman]

Not while I was using them!

Would you leave your body to science?

[lilimarlene]

ditto

Would you take a chance at love and happiness and run away with someone you barely knew(like maybe someone you met on a forum:smilewinkgrin:)

[Hawkman]

I'll take the fifth

Would you?

[lilimarlene]

I'm thinking about it :devil:


Would you lie to get what you want?

[Hawkman]

LOL!

I'm a terrible liar, consequently I always assume that I'll be found out. Besides, I have a pathological addiction to the truth. So no, I wouldn't.

Would you forgive me if I go to bed now? I'm afraid I'm wilting...

[lilimarlene]

not at all, sleep well....

[Hawkman]

thanks. I think I'll wiat for your last reply though ;)

[lilimarlene]

I meant yes...I forgive you:smile5:

[tonywalt]

mmm, not sure where the last question lies - reboot:

Would you marry someone from a different religon and culture who was devout about both of them?

[lilimarlene]

can't see how that would work out as I am non religious, so it probably wouldn't get past the very early dating stage.

would you rather have loved and lost or never have loved at all?

[tonywalt]

Loved and lost (or gained).

Would you move to another country if you fell for for someone foreign?(I know, been asked but a good one)

[lilimarlene]

yes, within reason.

Would you rather have a relationship where emotions are intense, but maybe not that stable or would you rather have a relationship where you and your partner are best friends but maybe the emotions aren't as exciting?

[tonywalt]

aah, practicality and passion. The latter over the former, but friendship is passionate isn't it...

Would you say Grey or Gray?

[lilimarlene]

(friendship passionate? we must be talking about a different kind of "passion" ;))

grey

would you rather be by yourself and lonely or socialise with people you really did not have much in common with?

[papayahed]

I think I would still be lonely socializing with people Ihave nothing in common with so'll go with being alone, whichdoesn't necessarily mean I'd be lonely.


If you saw a fight on the street would you try to stop it?

[tonywalt]

Yes, unless I was famous and it was one of my Israeli trained bodyguards protecting me from hordes of paparazzi.

Would you go up to a celebrity in public and ask for an autograph?

[Hawkman]

Providing I was armed, then yes. By the time they'd made my day the fight would be over, permanently! Fabricate diem punkus! :D

Would you start a fight on the street?

[Hawkman]

No, I don't collect autographs.

I might ask them if they wanted mine...

Would you hang around outside a barrack gate under a lamp post?

[tonywalt]

Only if someone was wearing colours of an rival gang like blue or red or pink and of course a mauve fuchsia swirl combination.

Would you become an casually associated with prison gang in order to survive? (or at least avoid painful sexual trysts)

[Hawkman]

I think I'd rather be a guard but generally, if I really had a choice, I'd stay out of prison altogether!

Would you fight to the death for a lost cause?

[papayahed]

I suppose,ya know if I really believed in it..

What would you do if I sang out of tune, would you stand up and walk out on me?

[Hawkman]

Probably. I'm still waiting to hear the lamp post girl sing :D

If I said you had a beautiful body would you... You know the rest :D

[papayahed]

Yes, I wouldn't hold it against you!

Would you lay your coat over a puddle so I wouldn't get my feet wet?

[tonywalt]

Yes, but I would first try to lead you around the puddle.

Would you join a conga line?

[lilimarlene]

Dum-dah, Dum-dah DUM-DUM.....yup ....I'm in!

Would you run a red light if no one was around?

[Hawkman]

LOL! About time you turned up, I thought you were the one who was supposed to wait ;)

They've all got cameras around here! You do jump 'em and you get a ticket in the post with a nice photo :D So no, I wouldn't.

Would you steal a car for a joyride?

[tonywalt]

no.

Would you revoke your citizenship for another country of your choice for US$3,000,000?

[Hawkman]

No.

Would you undertake a marriage of convenience for money?

[Calidore]

If enough money, certainly.

Would you do reality TV, and which show?

[lilimarlene]

It would depend on how much you're planning to pay me? lol...in all seriousness actually I would not.

Would you provide an alibi for a loved one that had committed a crime

[tonywalt]

Yes.

Would you take and sell pictures/photos of celebrities taken in compromising positions that may cause them grief?

[lilimarlene]

No

Would you seek revenge on someone that had treated you badly?

[tonywalt]

Yes, but I would call it Justice.

Would you normally vote?

[lilimarlene]

Yes

Would you be understanding of someone who sought "justice"from you because they felt you had treated them badly?

[tonywalt]

lol, I treat everyone so good though(stomps feet). (I see your point).

Would you give someone the silent treatment?

[lilimarlene]

Yes....I generally like to talk things out but I can be guilty of using the silent treatment at times.Not a very mature way to handle things though.

Same Q

[tonywalt]

no, it's more a female tactic. I now have effective defence- me thinks:drool5:

Would you plan where you will be in 10 years?

[lilimarlene]

(you would be suprised to know that some men use it as well)
No, I don't make plans that far in advance

Would you be happy if your sister (assuming you have one)was dating someone exactly like you?

[tonywalt]

Yes!

Would you have dated or thought of dating any of your friends boyfriends-given another scenario?

[lilimarlene]

My close friends luckily have different taste in men,so no at least not so far.I have dated men that have dated acquaintances of mine.I wasn't really interested in them at the time but that changed somewhat when they pursued me. There is something about a persistent and sincere man that appeals to me , but while they were dating my friends I wasn't at all interested.

Same Q

[tonywalt]

Same answer.

If you could travel in history what period Would you go to?

[lilimarlene]

1977 NYC Studio 54 :banana:

Would you be able to remain completely sober for a month?

[tonywalt]

Yes.

Would you stay in a Ian Schrager hotel(love studio 54) or a comfy traditional hotel?

[lilimarlene]

(is the comfy traditional hotel 5 star?)

[tonywalt]

(ok, i added 'would you' cuz i dont want break rules:(

4 to 5 stars. (Not that it matters but some of Schrager's furniture is inspired by the tower of pisa, my neck still hurts from a 23 degree sofa looking up at a television that was precariously perched in line with my left clavicle).

The bar, however, was even.

[lilimarlene]

I am very comfort oriented so 5 star traditional it is. I'll meet you for cocktails at the IS hotel bar though:cool:

Would you ever go hunting for sport?

[tonywalt]

No. I did as a kid though.

Would you have named names in the McCarthy hearings-if the alternative was a very marginalized career?

[BienvenuJDC]

I don't know what the McCarthy hearings were about. Therefore I cannot answer that accurately. If I think thought that the people were guilty and needed to be punished, then yes, but I don't know why they should have been protected.

Would you dare to try chancing failure?

[lilimarlene]

(BienvenuJDC, that's what Google is for :yikes: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Army%E2%80%93McCarthy_hearings)

[BienvenuJDC]

Ok...quick read...I still don't know. Seems like a witch hunt, so I'd probably not expose anyone.

[Delta40]

That would depend on what I was trying

Would you 'climb every mountain'

[BienvenuJDC]

Only those that had a purposed goal for climbing.

Would you run for the sake of running?

[lilimarlene]

yes...like the wind.

Would you dance in the moonlight?

[Delta40]

No way!

Would you go door knocking for a good cause?

[BienvenuJDC]

No...most people are annoyed at that

Would you dare go skinny dipping?

[Delta40]

Only at night at the beach in Australia with the sharks....

Would you participate in partner swapping?

[lilimarlene]

it depends on what you have to swap!:drool5:

would you go bungee jumping?

[Delta40]

I would but I'm not allowed to

Would you?

[lilimarlene]

I've jumped out of a plane so I think I could handle bungee jumping.

would you buy something you couldn't afford (credit card) but wanted very badly?

[Delta40]

No.

Would you steal an abused baby if it was the only way?

[tonywalt]

Yes, i could fetch a good price for healthy 'lil sprog (kiddin..)

Would you feel bad for downloading music(and movies) for free-if ya did that sort of thing?

[lilimarlene]

guilty as charged, but no I don't feel bad.:gnorsi: (i like this little guy!)

Would you be envious if a good friend came into a fortune?

[Buh4Bee]

Never, I'd be happy for her good fortune.

Would you shelter a trustworthy fellow in need?

[tonywalt]

Yes. (a fellow or gal...)

Would you vote for someone that you wouldn't really want to have a drink with?

[lilimarlene]

yes i would (oops tonywalt you beat me, but same answer for your Q!)


Would you tell the waiter if he forgot to add some items on your bill?

[tonywalt]

Yes, he might be in trouble for not adding it.

Would you know why the lights in bathrooms are so damn bright?

[lilimarlene]

so we can make sure our makeup is applied properly

would you tell the truth if someone asked your opinion of something they were wearing that you absolutely hated?

[Hawkman]

Yes.

Would you care if you were wearing something that someone whose opinion you'd asked, hated it?

[lilimarlene]

it would depend on the person, if it was a man I wanted to please. it would make a difference, but if it was a random person, I would not care in the slightest.

Would you tell a loved one the truth even if you knew it would hurt their feelings?

[tonywalt]

No

Would you ever use an slightly affected accent? (mm, more of a British concept)

[aliengirl]

I often try different accents, sometimes just for fun.

But I'm not sure what you were talking about.

Would you agree to deliver a lecture if you've got only two days to be ready and you're not an expert in the subject?

[tonywalt]

Two days is just barely enough, but no - not if I am not an expert. I speak in front of people, but only on topics that I know.

(Affected accent - A posher accent than normal-again, I think it's applicable to certain regions/countries)

Woudl you spend 2 days doing purely volunteer work?

[lilimarlene]

I have done so for more than 2 days , so yes.

Would you tell the truth if you were caught red hand or would you 'gaslight'?

[Hawkman]

If you are caught in the act there's not much point in lying about it, I guess one could try and put a bit of spin on it, but most people can see through spin. It reminds me of a of sailor I knew, who, with a mate, decided it would be a good idea to knick the ship's crest off the front of the bridge on HMS Brighton. One stood on top of the bridge roof and kicked it until it came off, while the other waited below. They were both drunk. The crest was made of solid brass and weighed a rather a lot. If it had hit the chap waiting down on the foredeck it would have killed him. Fortunately it missed him and hit the deck with such a clang that it woke the stokers in their messdeck and brought the officer of the day running! The chap on the bridge roof did a runner, but the young lad on the foredeck was found holding the crest, declaring, "It wasn't me, Sir!" Needless to say he wasn't believed :D They both got jankers.

So getting back to the point; no, I wouldn't.

Would you feed meat to a vegitarian and tell them it was quorn?

[Delta40]

lol no I like vegetarians and believe they should have equal rights....


Would you outright lie in a job interview to further your own career?

[Silas Thorne]

Of course. It's necessary for job interviews sometimes. I mean 'where do you see yourself in ten years?' 'Can you use (insert software product here)?' Employers want you to lie, it's all part of having a job interview. The job world is all about lies. Sometimes you just have to be able to lie convincingly and be able to support your lies with hard work later.

Would you be able to run 100 metres without getting puffed?

[tonywalt]

Yes.

Would you rumble/rat out your best mate for a crime you were both a part of if faced with 9 months in jail? (The informing would free yourself)

[Delta40]

Totally. I worked for the Corruption & Crime Commission and am a complete Whistleblower...

Would you risk your reputation for a family member who comitted a crime?

[papayahed]

Depends on the relative and the crime but probably.

Would you move for career advancement knowing your spouse would be lukewarm to the new location?

[BienvenuJDC]

No, mutual agreement would be an absolute.


Would you like to swing on a star, carry moonbeams home in a jar?

[lilimarlene]

......and be better off than I am.....yes.

Would you fall for a shooting star?

[BienvenuJDC]

Probably not, I'm not the "star" type.


Would you fall for a pebble in the sand?

[tonywalt]

Yes.. love the pebbles.

Would you live in Alaska for a year?

[Buh4Bee]

Yes, I think I'd love it.

Would you eat dog, if you were in a place where it was served to you as a meal?

[lilimarlene]

Absolutely not.....not under any circumstances.

Would you rather be overdressed or underdressed at a party?

[tonywalt]

Undressed ideally, but overdressed if i have to choose.

Would you accept a political office if you won by being written in?(not sure of the various laws on the matter, but just go with it)

[lilimarlene]

(that would be an interesting party)

Yes

Would you go into space if you could?

[aliengirl]

Hey, what do you think where I'm from? Would love to go back there.

Would you stay awake till late to complete the last chapter of an interesting novel?

[tonywalt]

Yes.

Would you marry someone your family disliked to the point of ex communicating you?

[Buh4Bee]

I would if I felt that strongly about the person, but I am not sure you can be ex-communicated from your family.

Would you pretend to like someone such as a bosses annoying spouse out of respect?

[tonywalt]

To a certain degree, I can only suffer fools when I know there is a time limit or an escape route, otherwise I'll start to show annoyance.

Would you ever grow less amibitious?

[lilimarlene]

Yes, as priorities change.

Would you consider getting back together with someone you had been involved with previously?

[Buh4Bee]

I never did, so probably not.

Would you care for a dying parent?

[tonywalt]

Yes.

Would you stay in a marriage with kids because it was practical? (also, would anyone honestly answer yes to this question {answer - no_

[Buh4Bee]

I wouldn't stay for the sake of the kids.

Would you get up in the middle of the night to drive a drunk friend home if they called you?

[lilimarlene]

Yes

Would you donate an organ to save a loved one?

(tony, my mother stayed with my father simply for the sake of her kids. If you asked her, she would admit that herself. Some people take their vows more seriously than others and some believe that giving their children a stable family life is more important than their personal happiness)

[tonywalt]

(lil, i believe ya, no worries) just seeing if anyone would admit in first person.

Yes.

Would you buy a firearm for recreation(rather than protection)?

[lilimarlene]

Yes, I like guns.

Would you be ok if one of your exes started dating one of your best friends?

[tonywalt]

Depends on circumstances, but no.

Would you start a relationship with a starving artist?

[lilimarlene]

I guess it would depend on how you classify a relationship and on how talented he was:drool5:


Would you start a relationship with an extremely attractive person knowing that the only reason they were going out with you was for your money or status?

[tonywalt]

Hhmm, tough question to answer honestly- um, No. (The thought of men with power and status dating women for short term reasons..thinking outside the box there...)

Would you go on a date with a guy(at a later time,,days,weeks) that you had a wrong first impression(first 20 minutes of meeting)?

[lilimarlene]

(oh, don't worry I can think outside the box, plenty of woman might take advantage of that dynamic as well)

yes, I would, I realise it is not easy for the regular guy to approach women, so I'm ok with a bit of nervousness and awkwardness, it actually can be charming. What I don't like is when men pretend to be something that they're not, they give off a strange vibe and something just doesn't feel right, that's when the warning signs go off. I did give someone like that a chance and and funny enough my first impression turned out to be right.

Would you pretend to be something you're not (hide your true personality). in order to date someone, knowing that you will eventually be found out?

[BienvenuJDC]

I wouldn't give a false pretense ever. I am who I am.

Would you lie about an embarrassing situation/circumstance that is trivial (like blaming the passing of gas on someone else) to someone that you just met that you might be interested in?

[lilimarlene]

First of all, as a lady, I do not not pass gas:frown2: and if something like that would happen perhaps to someone else, I would expect that everyone would either pretend it didn't happen or laugh it off.

Would you actually mention that it smelt like someone had passed gas to someone you were trying to impress?

[tonywalt]

No.

Would you join a social club?

[lilimarlene]

Yes

Would you ask for help if you needed it?

[lilimarlene]

-------

[tonywalt]

Yes.

Would you donate to charities that didn't solve the underlying problem?

[Nicole82190]

If the charity is causing positive outcomes for people of need, then yes. If its existence is primarily to profit the founders, then no.

Would you want the power to read peoples' minds?

[tonywalt]

Mmm, yea. I think we usually know what people are thinking though.

Would you like being a teacher/professor in terms of work?

[lilimarlene]

(tony, do you really believe you know what people are thinking?)

yes


Would you still work in your same job if you didn't need the money?

[tonywalt]

(mmm to a certain degree yea - I mean I have a good idea what emotion they are feeling - which is alot of information).

No, not really. I would always do something though.

Would you consider planning to never permanently move back to your country of birth?

[lilimarlene]

(perhaps, but the emotion they are feeling could have nothing to do with you)

it would be hard to plan on complete permanency

Would you move to another country, because your partner wanted you to?

[tonywalt]

Yes, but not soley for that reason.

Would you marry someone that you likely were already going to marry so that they could stay in the country?

[lilimarlene]

sometimes a little pressure can make you take that leap of faith required to make a big commitment, especially if you realise what your life would be like without that person in it. But I would not make that decision unless I had already been seriously thinking of marrying them already.

Would you want to be forever 21 years old physically if it meant that you were also forever 21 financially?

[tonywalt]

no, but 23 and you have a deal.

Would you let a friend use your car for a day?

[lilimarlene]

yes as long as they can drive a stick shift properly (most can't)

Would you lend money (let's say $1000 )to someone you weren't that close to, maybe a co-worker that was desperate, with no guarantee of getting it back?

[tonywalt]

Yes, depending on character. Around here you get that alot ("me wah likkle money nuh?)

Would you date someone who flat out did not read and doesn't like to read?

[lilimarlene]

I actually did. My friends could not believe that I was dating someone that didn't read. But we had lots of other things in common and he was able to fulfill my emotional needs, which for me is very important. He was a very smart(practical) and a very successful person that was worldly and sophisticated but he didn't have the patience for reading (I believe there was perhaps a problem w dyslexia) But he loved movies, music and was very adventurous and loving and for the time I saw him, he made me happy!

Would you be an alibi for a cheating friend even if you were friends with both the husband and the wife?

[tonywalt]

(The vast majority of smart practical successful males don't read-I don't know any investment bankers, brokers, traders etc..who read. I could count the number of bookish guys who are super successful on no fingers){exception, some corporate lawyers do read}

Yea, i'd provide alibi. Turning a mate in for cheating is bad on so many levels.

Would you debate on Serious Discussion Thread(litnet)?

[lilimarlene]

(he was a partner in a large international firm and worked very very long hours plus travelled and had to socialise for work so probably no time for much else, but are right about the lawyers)

(would you still provide the alibi if it was for the wife?)

I might, haven't so far.

Would report your boss to a higher up if you knew he/she was stealing from the company?

[tonywalt]

Yes. oh Yes. (I would ensure that he/she had no more recourse(political or legal) to me first though).

Would you forsee a day that you may become more cynical about the world?

[lilimarlene]

cynical as in "Given to sneering at rectitude and the conduct of life by moral principles; disbelieving in the reality of any human purposes which are not suggested or directed by self-interest or self-indulgence; as, a cynical man who scoffs at pretensions of integrity; characterized by such opinions; as, cynical views of human nature."

I highly doubt I will ever be like that. Though it's healthy to be a bit cynical sometime, a true cynical outlook means a loss of hope and joy...and I for one do not want to ever live that way.

Would you be able to tell someone you loved them if it was unclear as to whether the feelings are reciprocated?

Would you take credit for the work someone else had done if you could get away with it?

[tonywalt]

No, but that behaviour is common as mud. (OK, I would do it if the person was a arsehole and politically weakened so there is no damaging recourse to me).

Would you have gone to Woodstock if your were in that generation?

[tonywalt]

Not really, I would eat other things -I've got a system as I dont eat red meat.

Would you ever ask a couple "...so when are you too getting married" (probably the most annoying and argument inducing question there is)

[lilimarlene]

no...I have been asked that before by well meaning people, while I was in a long term realationship and in front of the person I was involved with. The strange thing is that everyone assumed we weren't married because of he not wanting to marry me, when it was in fact the opposite. I was the gun shy one.

( I don't eat meat either)

[tonywalt]

Would you get angry in a US airport with rude redneck homeland security and never been out the country themselves and that kind of #$#$wit?

[lilimarlene]

Well it's never happened , but if it did and if being calm, logical and charming didn't work and I felt this person was being unreasonable , I would ask to see his/her superior.And yes, I would show my anger in a cool controlled sort of way. The most important thing for me would be to get myself out of the situation, so would use any tactic that I felt would work.

[tonywalt]

Would you raise your kids differently than the way you were raised? (I asked it before, but not sure what the answer was meant to be).

[lilimarlene]

somewhat differently...my parents loved me but weren't as physically demonstrative as I would have liked....I was and am quite affectionate and have no problems expressing my feelings in that way. So without being smothery, I would be hugging and kissing them more.

[BienvenuJDC]

I hug and kiss my children very much...I was the last one to answer this one for tw. I wish my dad would have been more affectionate, but then again...we were "boys"...

Would you enjoy a party where some cameramen hired by the host would shoot photos without asking permission?

I'm not into parties like that...just give me a group of friends who are interacting together. If the host himself (herself) were taking pictures, that is fine, but then it wouldn't be without permission.

Same case here Bien. But I had to attend a party last week where two hired cameramen were snapping photos as if it was their last photo-shoot. It was a very uncomfortable situation and it almost ruined my night.

[papayahed]

maybe if I really liked the gift and the friend.

If you heard your neighbors fighting, would you continue to listen or close your window?

[BienvenuJDC]

Close the window.

Would you jump out of a perfectly good airplane?

[lilimarlene]

Haha! Lilimarlene has me under the ignore button.
I bet she'll just answer right over me. No worries! My students do it all day long.

[BienvenuJDC]

Not at all, why on earth would I do that? I'm was waiting for some friends at a cafe and am using a tablet and got distracted

[lilimarlene]

I speak from experience.. a person that i live with - yes (and I will feign some interest) but that is no longer something I have to deal with

[tonywalt]

To keep the peace with the person..compromise so that I can watch my stuff.

Would you have the urge to pop a balloon at a party?
