Would You??

[Kiwi Shelf]

I am lucky I have money to lend to money I do know at the moment

um... same question...

[Riesa]

my question is, If you don't know them, how could you lend them money?

[Kaltrina]

as I understood the question before it was said that you don't know them in the meaning that they aren't your friends, you don't know them well, you probably say hello to them or met them a couple of times, but you don't know how they really are. I think that was the question before....

and no I don't I'd lend money to someone I don't know...

[Adelheid]

Is it still the same question Kaltrina?

No I wouldn't. Lending makes the borrower your servant. I don't care to make anyone my servant.

Would you borrow money from the bank if you want to but a car? Or would you borrow it from a friend/ relative/ parents?

[Pendragon]

Borrow from a lending institution such as a bank. NEVER lend or borrow from realitives, it will usually cause trouble.

In a break-up of a relationship, can you walk away with no regrets? :nod:




If your Answer is "no", rethink your decision.

[Kiwi Shelf]

I'd like to think so, hopefully I am not going to have a break up and I won't have to find out this time around.

Would you spend Christmas in a exotic location, or are you more for the familiar?

[Aurora Ariel]

Yes, in a heartbeat!I would love to spend the summer holidays in as many interesting, delightful, and exotic places as possible.I dislike the idea of going to the same place all the time for a break, I find that too monotonous and predictable.There are still so many beautiful and enchanting sites I'm yet to visit, but, hopefully, I will get to travel to in the near future.:)

If your good friend was a well known writer and, many years later, they left you all of their belongings, and suddenly one day a literary historian appeared and asked you to give them to him/her(so he/she could write about the poet and publish a book) would you give them up?Though there is no guarantee that they will be returned and this remains your only connection with your deceased writer friend?

[Pendragon]

The question then becomes do I deny my friend the aclaim that he/she has rightfully earned or satisfy my own selfish desire to hold them close to me. I think I must alow my friend that chance to shine, but that one original poem would remain with me, framed and on the wall in a place of honor. I can always purchase the book if the other material is not returned. It may not be the originals, but the words are my friend's communication to the world.

Same question, it's a very good one. :nod:

[RobinHood3000]

Hmm...probably. Emily Dickinson, Edgar Allan Poe...the list goes on of writers who have only become famous after their death. It wouldn't be fair to deprive my friend of a place in the annals of literary history.

Same question!

[radshaw]

I would offer up zerox copies.

same question.

[Riesa]

I like radshaws answer.

would you(and this is borrowed from Zobmondo!!)rather..."for the rest of your life, eat your least favorite foods hygienically prepared or eat you favorite foods prepared in risky circumstances?"

[papayahed]

Depends how risky the circumstances. Will I be finding Band Aids in my food? I think I would go with my favorites.

Same Question.

[Miss Darcy]

If my least favourite food was also healthy, I'd probably go for not risking.

Same question.

[Aurora Ariel]

I would have to say my favourite foods, but only as long as I could wash them myself in some fresh waterfall or with a bottle of water, as I would have to avoid my least favourite foods altogether.I would never choose the meat or chicken, been a vegetarian for five years, sorry there.;)

Would you enter the most beautiful Labyrinth which could take you to some enchanting place or lead your to an early demise( if you do not find it in time and continue walking around for many years), though you don't know which way is home and you may get lost?

[RobinHood3000]

Almost certainly. Labyrinths, by their original definition, have but one path (it just happens to be very long). Did you mean a maze? :p

Same question!

[Riesa]

I am a risk taker, so yes.

Would you like to have more sisters or brothers?

[AimusSage]

Brothers, I have one sister, and I don't care for her much, she's a nuisance.

Would you prefer an extremely emotional person or a calculating rationalist?

[Riesa]

Tough one, I have difficulty with extremists of any sort, but I guess a calculating rationalist would be more tolerable.

Same Q.

[Aurora Ariel]

Neither.I like a combination of both.I think it's desirable if one can have a personality which can sustain boths sides of thought and feeling.

If you captured a rare and exquisitely beautiful butterfly would you keep it for yourself or let it go and release it into the wild?

[Virgil]

It depends for what. As a friend? As a brother or sister? As a wife? As an employee or workmate or boss?

Let me assume friend and say, emotional--although I can see how that can get old.

[Aurora Ariel]

...err..what happened?I thought it was now my question???...

If you captured a rare and exquisitely beautiful butterfly would you keep it for yourself or let it go and release it into the wild?

[Chava]

let it go, obviously.

Would you join a demonstration for the freedom of speech even if you could risk prison?

[Chava]

let it go, obviously.

Would you join a demonstration for the freedom of speech even if you could risk prison?

[Aurora Ariel]

Yes, if it was in the case where I was living in a nation under the rule of a tyrannical leader.

Would you undergo a risky operation to save the life of a good friend, though it may leave you with a permanent scar or emotional trauma?

[Adelheid]

I don't know... maybe, if there is no one else to do it. It depends on how good the friend, on whether one good enough to take care of me if it doesn't go right. :)

Very Good Question, Ariel. Same Q.

[Weeping Willow]

If it is one of my best friend and i'm the only one who can help him then i will..
But i think there is a chance i'll chicken out...

I liked the question too Ariel, good one..
so same Q.

[adilyoussef]

For the scar I already have a prety good and big one. I think yes I would. At least I would give my existance a meaning. But only if it's somebody I truely love (family or beloved). Better call yourself something else than a human if the one you love perished because of your gread and fears. You may lose an organ but you will live proud and with a life worth living. By the end, we will all die.

Here is a bow to you Aurora Arielfor your good questions. Same Q.


Would you undergo a risky operation to save the life of a good friend, though it may leave you with a permanent scar or emotional trauma?

[Kaltrina]

I totally agree with Adil and yes I would do it too. I think it is important to save someones life, to give something for someone who needs to be saved.... I think I'd do that for anyone...

Same q. (a great one Aurora Ariel ;))

[Pensive]

Yeah, I also agree with you Adil and Kalt. One's life is more important than a "scar"

Love is eternal in human's heart so I think that I might even risk my life for the sake of my friend.

(Good Question)

[Pendragon]

My friend's life is more important than a scar or even emotional trauma. Scars eventually become something to talk about and emotional trauma can be worked through, but a life can only be saved by your sacrifice at that moment, whatever it may be. A resounding yes to the question. :thumbs_up

And a very excellent question to pass on to the next person. ;)

[Riesa]

yes, and it reminds me of this slightly purple urban myth:


"Many years ago, when I worked as a volunteer at Stanford Hospital, I got to know a little girl named Liza who was suffering from a rare and serious disease. Her only chance of recovery appeared to be a blood transfusion from her five-year-old brother, who had miraculously survived the same disease and had developed the antibodies needed to combat the illness. The doctor explained the situation to her little brother, and asked the boy if he would be willing to give his blood to his sister. I saw him hesitate for only a moment before taking a deep breath and saying, "Yes, I'll do it if it will save Liza."
As the transfusion progressed, he lay in bed next to his sister and smiled, as we all did, seeing the color returning to her cheeks. Then his face grew pale and his smile faded. He looked up at the doctor and asked with a trembling voice, "Will I start to die right away?"

Being young, the boy had misunderstood the doctor; he thought he was going to have to give her all his blood."

Would you rather clean public toilets or play nude basketball with extremely large, sweaty and hairy men? Sorry, I'm swiping that idea from a Ben Stiller movie.

[RobinHood3000]

Helloooooo, public toilets!!

Same question! (what kind of sick person are you???)

[Riesa]

(grins and snickers wickedly) can you snicker wickedly? how about a horse nickering wickedly?

[papayahed]

I'll play basketball naked with the sweaty guys.

You find a really cute sweater (cool shirt for the guys). There are only two colors green and blue, you can only buy one which would you buy?

(hmmm... wonder where this question came from?)

[Pendragon]

I'll play basketball naked with the sweaty guys.

You find a really cute sweater (cool shirt for the guys). There are only two colors green and blue, you can only buy one which would you buy?

(hmmm... wonder where this question came from?)Well, I'm a guy. Like most guys, I really don't care. But if I'm buying the sweater it will be blue, because I wear jeans most of the time. Also blue is the color of serenity, for those of you who may be into that. Green is a calming color also, but for me, blue is better. Besides, my eyes tend to change color according to what I have on. Freaky. They won't turn brown, but green, grey, blue (all shades).

Can you think about two different things at the same time and keep them straight in your mind? :brow: :D

[Nightshade]

of course! thats how I do evrything in life although yes occasionally the wires cross
:D
same q

[AimusSage]

Well that depends, three thoughts work just fine, two is not quite the right number for me. I Usually combine the two into one actually completely different thing. So I guess that's a no.

Would you fly across the world just to randomly meet people if you could?

[Riesa]

Yes, I'd love to.

Same Q.

[Weeping Willow]

Right now if i could. plane ticket please!

Would you chose eternal life if you'd know the you will pay by seeing every one you'll ever know die before you ?
(since you will never die...)

[RobinHood3000]

Nope. In about five billion years, the world will be broiled away by the expanding sun. If I had to go through that but not die...wow, that'd hurt.

Same question!

[AimusSage]

Living for eternity would mean that I have to trancend the human life, and would become a god basically, so I don't think I would mind living for eternity, I'll just play some card with the other gods of the universe, and maybe created a few new worlds while I am at it.
Or maybe I'll just become a bored decadent grumpy old man who continues to age but doesn't die. Rather not take the chance, so no living for eternity for me.

Same Q.

[adilyoussef]

I don't remember who says this but I like it: I think in a movie, "Troy". "Gods envy us because we are mortals. Each moment we live could be the last. That's why we enjoy each moment as it is the last. In this moment you're so beautiful than ever." Or something like that. That's why I would not opte for eternity to savour each moment I live as to be the last one. Life is short and in its shortness is its beauty. Why suffering the lost of all whom I love and with whom I spent marvelous time, and by the end, I will find myself lonly and isolated from the world. I already miss being with my friends whom I was with yesterday. No for eternity, yes for mortality.

Would you spend your life striving to achieve your goals or never bother and take it easy?

[Pendragon]

As you spend your life you will find, hopefully not too late, that your dreams are the only things worth chasing. To find a dream and spend life chasing it is to spend life well. Maybe in your eyes you may not be a success. But other people watch, and other eyes see. If you could see yourself through their eyes, you might get a shock. The person who is most critical is that way sometimes out of admiration not disappointment. ;)

Same question.

[Riesa]

I find that it's easy to achieve goals once you have them, but finding a goal that I REALLY want to accomplish is the hardest thing. For me it's easiest to float along in life until something makes me sit up and pay attention and once I have an interest I'm after it.....SO I guess it's a little of both.

same question...

[Monica]

Let me qote somebody: "The only limits are the limits of our imagination. Dream up the kind of world you want to live in and dream out loud, a high volume." I always at least try to do something when I want to have it but sometimes trying isn't enough and doesn't even matter.

same q

[Aurora Ariel]

Well, if you don't at least attempt to achieve your goals and make your innermost dreams a reality then what's the point of living and doing anything?
Why get up in the morning, why move, breathe, and create?There is no purpose then, and your life becomes meaningless.I think everyone is capable of reaching their true potential if they persevere and remain dedicated.But no matter what, I think it's good if one never gives up, and holds on to whatever their cherished ideal and vision of irradiating happiness and fulfillment is.Make the future bright!


Would you go and find a stunning forest pine tree to give to a friend for Christmas to decorate in their home?

[Kaltrina]

yes I would, I think that is a perfect gift... :D

same q.

[adilyoussef]

Maybe

Would you tell some one the truth even it may hurt this person emotionally and make "her" heartly cry? (Just hapened to me. And I feel bad, really bad).

[RobinHood3000]

I would, personally. But then, I've always been one to prefer brutal honesty to the alternative.

Same question!

[Riesa]

Um, perhaps. It would depend on how dear a friend it is. Very dear then yes, have done, not fun. Acquaintance, probably let it slide.
Say you had kids, would you let them watch the movies before they read the books?

I'm undecided. I really want my kids to watch 'Narnia', but won't they miss out on so much by not reading them first? Would it be taking something away?

[Aurora Ariel]

Well, I think it really depends whether you are talking about taking them to see it at the movies or just watching it at your home.I think if one was wishing to watch it on the giant screen then they would be disappointed that they missed it, as they will never get to see it like that again.But if it is only on DVD, then I would suggest to get them to read the wonderful books first, then say "Now we can compare it, and watch the film together."


If a friend gave you a pet( any animal) as a present, and you knew you could probably not keep it, would you return the gift and risk disappointing them?

[Virgil]

It might inspire them to go and read it. But it might not. Would it take something away? It depends on the movie. Hard to say. Sorry for being wishy-washy.

Same question.

[Virgil]

Oops.

Now to Aurora's question. (Somebody I bet will beat me to that one too.) Yes, a pet is a big responsibility. It should not be given willy nilly.

Same question.

[Aurora Ariel]

Err...what happened to my question?Here's the one I added:

If a friend gave you a pet( any animal) as a present, and you knew you could probably not keep it, would you return the gift and risk disappointing them?

[Riesa]

Okay, a whole minute has gone by, I think it's safe to reply.

Definitely give the pet back. It wouldn't be fair to the animal to keep it if it wasn't loved.

Would like to go on a month long vacation by yourself?

[Anon22]

Ah bleh, I posted to late, it takes me a while to think up a question. Simply not that great at thinking up questions

Yes. If I were to keep the pet, it would be even more disappointing for them to see that I didn't take good care of it, to see that I didn't take good care of the gift and that I mistreated it. So I would just be honest and say I can't do it... even if I disappointed them, but I'm sure that's what they would prefer.

To answer the new question, no... what's the point if there's no one to enjoy it with?

Having only one opportunity to travel through time, would you go back to the past to change something wrong you did and risk what effects it could have on the future, or would you stay in the present and leave everything how it is?

[Virgil]

Great question!

I would try to think it through. I would try to pick an innocuous mistake. But I think my answer would be yes.

Edit: Same question. Too good a question to leave for only one person.

[Pensive]

I would just like to remove the fact that I have failed my maths exam. SO I will go back to re-give it.

(A Very Good Question)

So Same Question.

[Riesa]

Pensive, are you just too good, or too young to have done anything that you'd like to change???? Cute.

I'd love to go back and change some things. Or someone said elsewhere on this thread "I'd like to go back and give myself some advice."

Same Q

[samercury]

I'd like to go back two years in the past.....

Same Q

[Anon22]

I'd like to go a couple of months into the past to prevent something from happening. It's not that serious so I'm certain it wouldn't affect the future much. Or would it? well... I would be willing to risk it.

If you had one opportunity, and one opportunity only, to get the thing you desire the most in exchange for losing your most important trait(not a physical trait though, an emotional one [like kindness, courage, etc.]), would you do it?

[RobinHood3000]

Never. I'm me simply because I'm me, desires, emotions, and all.

Same question!

[adilyoussef]

No no. To be such a fool, I'm not in it.

Would you watch a movie before reading the book? Like "The World of Narnia." I'm undesided.

[RobinHood3000]

Depends on the feedback. If you hear the movie sucks, watch that first (most negative criticism tends to come from comparision to the book). Otherwise, I'd go for the book first.

Same question!

[Riesa]

Hey, Adilyoussef, look at the top of this page, It's my question too!

[Anon22]

I wouldn't really care... if you read the book, the movie is spoiled for you, if you watch the movie, the book is spoiled for you. Even though, it seems to be worser if the book is spoiled for you, so I would read the book first I guess, but to me it doesn't really matter, I can still enjoy both.

My last two questions were a bit serious... so I'll change that a little. If a wizard was angry at you and you couldn't avoid what was going to happen next, which would you choose to be a chicken or a frog?

[Miss Darcy]

Frog, it's more romantic...a green tree frog, preferably.

If Santa could bring you a gift transported through time/from the mythical past, what would the gift be?

[Pensive]

My grandmother who died.

(Good One)

Same Question.

[Pensive]

Pensive, are you just too good, or too young to have done anything that you'd like to change???? Cute.
Same Q

Riesa, Failing maths is the worst thing I have ever done in my life - thats what I feel. If there are other things but I can't think about them at this moment.

Yup, there is something else which regrets more than it, When my granny died, I wanted to ask her several things so I will go into the past and ask her many things and I will ask her to survive somehow, for me, her children and grand children. I will not let her go.

PS: I can pass Maths again but I can't get my granny back. So my final choice is that I will go back to the past and persuade my Granny to live. I need her and everyone need her. I want to learn needlework from her.

[Riesa]

Oh, Pensive. I wish you could get your Granny back. I'm sorry if I sounded flip. I'm sure next time, you'll pass with flying colors!

I'd like a friendly flying horse, Santa.

Same Q

[adilyoussef]

Hey, Adilyoussef, look at the top of this page, It's my question too!

Sorry I didn't pay attantion. In few days I'll get the film and I have an audio book. I'm both impationt to see the movie but would like to listen to the book first and I have no time to do so.

For the question, I'd ask for what I was before keeping what I'm now so I wont make the same past mistakes.

Would you travel to an unknown place in the midle of the night?

[Riesa]

It's okay :) It's a tough question for me. My children aren't old enough to read these books yet, so I feel like I could be taking away a real personal imaginative experience by letting them watch the movie. But AA had a good point, only one chance to see it on the big screen. Perhaps by the time they are old enough to read it enough time will have passed to make the experience quite new. hmmmmmm. For you adilyouseff, you obviously know how to read, and I think the audio book would be similar to reading it. Since the language is quite simple, of course, since it's written for children, I'd say go ahead and see the movie before you read the book.....sorry this is so drawn out:)

For your question,
It would be a little scary, but why not? Can I be in my car, or do I have to just get dropped off in my pj's and try to fend for myself?

Same Q

[Miss Darcy]

How unknown is unknown? A place I've never been to before or a secret place no one (except a few gnomes perhaps) knows about?...but whichever it is, I'd gladly go...as long as it was practically deserted.

If you had a time machine, where in time would you go?

[Virgil]

Lots of tough choices. How about ancient Rome at the turn of the second century. I'm curious to see what life was like at one of the most prosperous times in history.

Same Q.

[Anon22]

I would go to the future, and see what a life without me turns out to be like.

Your (most precious) friend is being chased by an unstoppable killer, and you are given the chance to protect them, but in order to do so you have to sacrifice your 3 senses (become blind, deaf, and mute) for half a decade. Your friend is in a room in a corner with a frightened look on his/her face while the killer is in front of him/her with a knife in hand. Your in the room also but you know that the only way to protect them is to sacrifice your sense, will you do it?

[Aurora Ariel]

Yes, if it was a close friend who I loved, and it was only for five years, but I don't think I would like to live forever that way.If I was assured a return to my normal state then, yes, definitely.

Would you built your own home somewhere if you could?

*There are five options to this question.

A.To save general resources.
B.To protect an endangered environment.
C.For financial reasons- to cut costs.
D.For the experience alone.
E.All of the above.

[Loki]

Go for a good, solid E. ;)

Same question.

[Pendragon]

E is the answer that makes most of everything.

Now, where would you like this dream house to be located, always assuming no danger to the environment?

[RobinHood3000]

An Agatha Christie-esque remote northern wilderness, like in the movie Deathtrap based on Ira Levin's play.

Same question!

[Nightshade]

Ohh in the tardis :brow:

[Pendragon]

Ohh in the tardis :brow:

:DChoose your Doctor, Night, because that's exactly where I was thinking of locating mine! But with Nine Doctors to choose from, we shouldn't have problems, besides the TARDIS expanding to almost infinity inside!

Ah, same question, folks!

[adilyoussef]

I would for E.

Would you spend your time home when friends are calling you out?

[imaditzyreader]

(sorry, it posted twice)

[imaditzyreader]

I would probablygo out with myfriends, pending on whatthey were doing. If they were doinging something normal and fun...then no doubt. However, if I was engrossed in a good book, I would possibly stay home.


If you could be transfered into the life of any character in any book, who would you choose/would you even wish to give up on this life??

[Weeping Willow]

Jane.. from the Ander's game series..

Same Questione please.

[Anon22]

Nah, I wouldn't give up this life.

Assume that you had done something extremely horrible in your life, and kept a dark secret for 10 years, a dark secret that might make everyone hate you (or so you believe), and in those year(s) you live miserably, secluded, and everybody, due to your deep dark secret (misunderstanding), start to leave. Then in a dark cruel day everyone finds out your secret, are amazed by it, and pity you. An angel then comes down from heaven, and tells you that he can not reverse time, but he can send you to a parallel universe where it is still 10 years ago. All those 6 years of misery, pain, and agony to you (once sent to the universe) will just be a dream, and in that way you'll have a second chance to prevent yourself from living years of pain, nobody will leave you, you never had the secret, you'll live together with everyone else. As said though, this is not traveling back in time, in order to get your second chance you have to leave the world you live in, everybody in the new world will be the same (as they were 10 years ago), but once you leave you can never come back, according to the angel, the explanation as to why you disappeared would be because you died, so to them, once you leave, you're dead (along with that, they'll forget that you ever left, and your secret). They completely understand the situation, and if you need to go they can accept it. Will you go to the new world, and everything would just be a horrible dream, or will you remain in this world?

[RobinHood3000]

Remain in this world, probably--I always said that I wanted to live without shame, and die without regrets. Nothing teaches like experience; just ask any RPG gamer.

Same question!

[emily655321]

Hmm... I can be a big coward sometimes, so if the secret was very embarrassing or upsetting, I might be tempted to run away. But if the people who knew me would think that I'd died, that would be far worse. I don't think I could do that to people I love (it's been my main reason for not harming myself in the past). Also, if the parallel universe was just like this world, would I have a double there? Would she have a mustache?

Would you humiliate yourself on TV for money?

[Loki]

Nah. I don't value money that much. :p

If your best friend was making a fool of themself in public, without being aware of it, would you tell them they're looking bad?

[RobinHood3000]

Of course! That's what friends are for, delivering uncomfortable news in a friendly package.

Same question (lazy today)

[emily655321]

I'd attempt it. Fortunately my best friend is very cool and composed, so it hasn't come up. But there's this nearly-imperceptible thing she does with her face that lets me know when I'm being a fool, and it's really impressive. Sometimes I pay attention to her, usually not. :p

Would you act in a Hollywood movie if someone gave you the chance?

[Miss Darcy]

No. I'm not too impressed by Hollywood movies.

Same question. (Also lazy)

[Pensive]

Never (if I will have nothing else to do, then I will have to do that, otherwise a loud NO)

Same Question!

[Kaltrina]

No I would not... I don't like that stuff...

Would you attend a course for six year just to make someone happy? for example a guitar course (I did that), piano, languages... anything...

[adilyoussef]

Six years! I would have children by that time. No I would not.

Would you work in place that you hate but got very well paid?

[Kaltrina]

No, I don't think I would... My nerves are better than the money.. :D

Same question..

[emily655321]

No. I quit a job after one month this fall because I hated it, even though it paid ridiculously well for the skills needed. Now I'm paid very badly, but, to me, no amount of money is worth being unhappy every day.

Same question.

[Pendragon]

Let's put it this way. I do not believe in coincidence. The genetic bomb that my dad left me was well on it's way to detonation anyhow. But had I not stayed in a job I couldn't stand for so long, where the people were like wolves smelling blood, sensing that I had something wrong, they lost no opportunity to pick on me, I might have lasted longer. But I had a wife and three small children, and the pay and insurance benefits were top for the area. So I held on and finally, my mind snapped. I don't advise people to stay in jobs they hate for the money. Other things can be much worse, such as being disabled, and years of treatment and medicine daily.

Same question :cool:

[shortysweetp]

i guess i depends on what the job was. I might if I really needed the job to support my family But I think its important to get into a field that you know you are going to like.

Would you change your major (in college or university) right before you graduate to something completely different? like going from science major to culinary school?

[Riesa]

If it was right before graduation, why not finish? You could always go to grad school or Culinary school later. Collect degrees!

Would you rather have one long,thick, furry eyebrow across your entire forehead or
an inordinate amount of ear and nose hair that cannot be removed?
(from Zobmondo)

[emily655321]

Eyebrow.

Would you rather be half-bald or all bald?

(Not that there's anything wrong with baldness. I have a friend who shaves his head. Let's not start rumors that I'm an anti-bald-ite. ;))

[Riesa]

All bald, for sure. Look at Patrick Stewart, bodacious baldy.

Would you rather eat a live spider or suck on a live rat's tail for 1 minute?

[emily655321]

Rat's tail. A minute is a long time, but a spider is a spider. *ughh*

Continuing in the gross-out strain...

Would you rather lick the ground (dirt) or lick a toilet seat?

[AimusSage]

depending on the cleanness of the toilet seat, I would lick the toilet seat if I deem it to be cleaner than the ground I have to lick. It's all relative.

Would you rather see evil or hear evil?

[Riesa]

See, then I would know which way to run.

Would you have rugburn on your entire body or be infested with lice?

[emily655321]

Rugburn, but I'm not explaining how it got there. :p

Would you kiss a stranger on the street if offered a large sum of money by a third party?

[Virgil]

if she were pretty enough I would kiss a stranger for free.

same question.

well if i wasnt married or if my hubby agreed and if that person wasnt dirty looking then i guess it would depend on the amount of money. :D

same question

[Riesa]

Can it be a kiss on the cheek?

Would you (from zobmondo) rather pee in your pants at your wedding (everyone knows) or not be able to stop laughing at your grandmother's funeral?

[RobinHood3000]

Would you rather be half-bald or all bald?

Wong Fei-Hung, legendary kung fu master: half-bald.

Funeral laughing--at least then somebody could smack me upside the head and end the mortification.

That was a toughie--same question!

[emily655321]

Laughing. Everyone would just chalk it up to a hysterical episode brought on by bereavement.

Oh... same question, why not?

[Virgil]

Oh wow. I was going to say pee in my pants, but I think Robin thought it out better. I'll go with laughing.

Same question

[Pendragon]

Thinking about it a little, one could easily wind up doing both. I've been to and conducted funerals were things went so laughably wrong that I have seen family members laugh, such as when the minister conducting the graveside service for my wife's great-aunt called her by her daughter's name the whole time while the daughter sat within two feet of him! She later stated that she felt like either strangling him or wetting her pants from surpressed laughter, as the poor man was her cousin. I know I was red from trying not to laugh. (He also laid his Bible down atop the casket, which got everyone uptight to begin with!)

Same question.

[RobinHood3000]

If it's all right, I guess I'll just "ditto" my earlier reply and revive the thread?

Of the following, which would you most rather learn? A musical instrument (your choice), a martial art (your choice), or a dance style (your choice)?

[Pensive]

Obviously, I will prefer to learn a musical instrument. (a part of my dream)

[Pendragon]

Since I already play music on guitar, mandolin, and keyboard, I will hone my martial arts skills, maybe take up kendo.

Same question.

[Kaltrina]

Well I'd love to learn play the piano and violin, I love both... and I would love to learn many dance styles...

Same q.

[papayahed]

I would learn a musical instrument - I have a strong feeling I'd make a pretty good drummer.

If you had to either swim across a mile of shark infested waters or walk 2 miles across lion infested safari land which would you choose?

[Riesa]

I'd guess I'd rather die by lion. At least you'd be able to see your death coming; the thought of mysterious dark water is almost as terrifying to me as the sharks.

same Q

[Hazel-Ra]

I agree with you, however I would choose the water because when I'm tired I can keep on swimming. I can't run for crap!

Would you perform oral sex on yourself if you could?

[emily655321]

Hahahahaha!! :lol:

No.

If they invented really inexpensive and safe jet-packs that ran on hydro-electric power (no pollution, free to power), would you buy one?

[Riesa]

jet-packs? Like strap to your back and fly to the store? Heck yeah! And BTW thank you for posting a new question. :rolleyes: :lol:


Would you rather sit in a dumpster full of restaurant garbage for two days or swim in a pool of eye boogers for thirty minutes?

[emily655321]

And thank you for posting a new question as well. *nudge nudge* ;)

[Riesa]

I hope you like my new question, tee hee.

[water lily]

dumpster, somehow eye boogers seem like they'd have more infectious bacteria to transmit than garbage.

Question: Would you like to know the date of your death, if you could?

[Hazel-Ra]

God No!! I'd be counting down all the time!

Would you risk your own life to save another's?

[Pensive]

It depends on the person whom I will have to save...

Same Question

[Weeping Willow]

I want to say i will.. but my gut tells me there is a chance i will chicken out.. unless what i have to is not "that" rislky!...

Would you like to visit another Forum member in real life?

[smilingtearz]

Yes, Infact I'd like tot meet all the forum memebers!!

Would you do something really nasty and put the blame on another if you got caught?

[adilyoussef]

Then I'll be a real nasty boy. No, I would not.

Would you tell the truth even you may lose your life for it?

[smilingtearz]

I would tell such a truth only if it is saving someone else's life inturn... or doing SOMETHING good.. I mean why would I lose my life for saying the truth if it issn't really necessary to do so... it isn't as if i never lie!

same Q

[rachel]

I hope I would. I once was nearly beaten into unconcsciousness because I refused to lie. my little girlfriend who was eating at our house was so scared she ran home barefoot with the plate of food still in her hand.So I think yes if it was important that the truth be told. Otherwise I would just be quiet and say nothing.

[Pendragon]

Like Rachel, I hope I would. Man never knows until faced with the sitituation, like the young girl in Columbine, facing a gunman and being asked if she believed in God. She said yes, and he killed her. I would hope I had that courage.

Same question.

[Taliesin]

Interesting question.
You know, it really depends on the lie and what is behind the lie and what effects will it cause.
But well, when other lives depended on the truth, we hope we would.

Here is a question for male people:
imagine a scene. You are walking alone in a beach. There is no other soul there. Suddenly, out there is a beautiful mermaid singing on a stone and calling you
Would you go?

[emily655321]

I have a question. What exactly does one do with a mermaid? ;) (Or expect to do, providing she does not kill you.)

Apologies for the digression. Carry on.

[RobinHood3000]

Nah--beauty alone is no good reason to pursue a stranger.

Same question--this is intriguing.

[Pendragon]

I thought Emily brought up an interesting point. The anatomy of a mermaid would seem to rule out any romantic relationship with a human, don't you think? But many a man (and I speak as one) has fallen for a pretty face before.....(sigh) :D :nod:

Interesting question, though, and worth further examination:

[RobinHood3000]

Well, according to Splash, mermaids' fins become legs when dry...

[water lily]

am I to understand that the only object of going out to the mermaid for you men out there would depend on whether or not her fin changed into legs? maybe she's a nice friendly person, who would be interesting to talk to. lol. oh dear.

[RobinHood3000]

Or she could be a Man-eater.

[chmpman]

I think another important consideration is whether or not she would be willing to relocate in the case that things do develop into a romantic relationship (first dependent on whether or not her lower extremities become human when dry). I'm not such a good swimmer.

[rachel]

There seems to be a lot of judging that creature before actually getting to know her.
I think that Mermaid racism is unkind. On the other hand many a hearty deck swabber has lost his life while oogling mermaids(serves them right perhaps, they shouldn't be looking at half naked ladies or mermaids that aren't theirs.)
But I digress. First a guy might be well advised to stand in a safe place and have a conversation with the lady. I'd check out her eyes to see if there were any evil glints.After that perhaps one could trust.....

the question I have is would you keep a wad of money you chanced upon by a bin next to a bank?

[Taliesin]

Depends if there were any people around.

We had somehow had the impression that a mermaid is a normal woman in that department so that wouldn't be a question. Perhaps we are too much used to estonian folklore that we are forgetting what the rest of the world believes.

So, here is another situation.
Imagine that you are living in a beautiful place in a countryside. The nature is wonderfully beautiful.
Then one morning you wake up to discover that it has turned into a small separate planet.(it's diameter is about a kilometer)You have enough food and water for a month, also you have electricity. It is summer.
After a small venture you find that there is a small link in one place where there is a link (like a rope hanging down) to Earth. You don't see what is below. Going down might be dangerous.
Would you go down?

[chmpman]

I would stay in the first place as long as I could, not being much inclined to absolute solitude, but then eventually I think I would be compelled to climb down.

Same Q

[emily655321]

Hmm... Earth sucks. But there are kitties on Earth. I'd probably go.

If someone offered you money to start a small business (the future of such a venture being inherently dubious), would you give up your current job and risk it, or play it safe and keep the life you have?

[Pensive]

No, I will not give up my current job. (good one)

Same Question.

[Pendragon]

When you are disabled, yet have marketable skills, and you go to face another long day of boredoom (disability isn't a cakewalk) you would jump at the chance for someone to take the risk of investing in you! I certainly would! :nod: :nod: :nod: :nod: :nod:

Pass the question.

[papayahed]

If I had a good idea and a direction I knew I wanted to take I would do it. But, I don't have any good business ideas so I'd stick with my current job.


If you were suddenly struck by a weird form of color blindness would you choose to see things in shades of gray or shades of pink?

[Riesa]

I guess gray, pink would be too monochromatic. haha. Gray has more substance. I'm used to it, and pink would eventually cause migraines.

Interesting question, same one.

[RobinHood3000]

I think grey--people with color blindness are capable of seeing certain things than the color-sighted. Besides, if I saw only in pink, I'd never know which was the Barbie aisle at the toy store.

Same question, this is interesting.

[Miss Darcy]

Grey, I suppose...though pink would probably be interesting, too. But I'm sure grey would be more...natural. And more artistic.

Same q.

[Kaltrina]

Grey definitely, because I think pink would be irritating...

same q. , it's a nice one :D

[Pensive]

Yep, No doubt, I will choose Grey because it is not as much irritating as Pink can BE sometimes. (Although light pink is one of my favourite colours)

Would you like to read a book about politics in your free time?

[Riesa]

Do the politics have to be current? I'd be more likely to enjoy it if they weren't. My answer though is:
I guess. I have. Not my first choice to be sure.

Does your everyday conversation follow politically correct guidelines? Would you be appalled if someone wasn't always PC?

[Taliesin]

Erm.. no. And it doesn't bother if other people don't.


Same question. Too lazy to think of another.

[papayahed]

Erm... no also.


If you had to live on a desert island for 2 months and you have a choice of taking an mp3 player or a enough books that you couldn't possibly finish which would you take?

[RobinHood3000]

Books, naturally.


mp3 players need recharging :p.

Same question!

[Pendragon]

Book, naturally. Toss in my backpacker guitar and...http://www.websmileys.com/sm/love/643.gif

Continue with the question.... :nod:

[emily655321]

Books. I can always sing to myself, and Robin makes a good point about mp3 players needing recharging. But a world without music would be an unhappy one. If the stereo at work ever broke, I would be a very sad girl, indeed.

Would you cut your own hair to save money?

[Pensive]

I would cut my hair to save the money if I would have needed money badly at that time.

Same Question!

[RobinHood3000]

Only if my darling girlfriend had a watch in need of a chain. ;)

Same question!

[Riesa]

awww.

Sure, why not? It always grows again anyway if you really botch it.

Would you tell a stranger that their tag was sticking out?

[Virgil]

It depends. Is the tag from his under shorts or under shirt? It makes a difference.

Same question.

[IrishCanadian]

I'm with Virgil ... I would do nothing if it was the shorts, but if it was the shirt I'd probably just go ahead and put it back for them ... or ignor it alltogether depending on my mood.
Would you eat cat?

[chmpman]

Not unless it was life or death.

same q, or dog.

[Pensive]

No, I would prefer to die. (but I am not too sure)

Would you make fun of your friend?

[Pendragon]

A tough question. If you mean in a degrading manner, no, of course not. But we have fun together making snide comments about each other, all in good fun. It's kind of like when me and my brother grew up. Now the two of us fought a lot, but an outsider better not cross either one, because then he had to take on both. My friends and I may snip at each other, but not where outsiders might take it wrong. Jump my friend and you jump me.

A wonderful question to pass on, Pensy. :nod:

[Virgil]

In a degrading manner no; in a teasing manner, I do it all the time.

same question.

[kilted exile]

me & my friends rip each other constantly, but we all know we are just kidding and nobody takes it too seriously usually. If one of us does end up in a strop about it we do something stupid like have flowers delivered to them with "cheer up dumbass" on the card, everyone then sees the funny side and its back to normal.

same question

[IrishCanadian]

I'm the same as the general consensus so far.
Would you visit outer space (given the opportunity)?

[Pendragon]

I'm the same as the general consensus so far.
Would you visit outer space (given the opportunity)?

Why not? My children are almost grown now and I would see things no one on Earth has actually seen before! Carpe Diem!

Would you tell someone you don't like them or string them along?

[Virgil]

I don't know why not telling them would be stringing them along. I would probably just avoid them.

Would you give a speech on a podium in front of an audience if you felt you didn't know the subject well enough?

[Pensive]

If I would know nothing, then I would try my best to keep my mouth shut but if, I would have known a little about the topic then I would not hesitate to deliver a speech.

This is a very good question so I pass it to the next person.

[emily655321]

No, I wouldn't. I'm very poor at BS'ing my way through a speech. I'm a poor salesperson. At work I'm constantly having to "sell" people soaps and lotions by saying, "Oh, yes, this one is excellent"—because I overheard another sales girl say so to a customer—"It's one of our most popular brands"—because they said it used to sell well, even though I've never seen someone buy it—"It has [nearly] all-natural ingredients"—because that's what the sales brochure said, even though it didn't list them. I hate it, I hate it, I feel dirty and cheap. And I feel like I'm lying to people, even though it's my job to be enthusiastic about all the freaking wank we sell. So I'm thoroughly turned off by the idea of trying to weave something out of nothing. If I had a choice, I'd avoid it at all costs. (That is, excepting the cost of my salary.)

Ohh... now I can't think of anything except how I hate my job. Same question.

[Virgil]

Here's what brought this question to mind. About six months ago, my boss assigned another project that someone else was screwing up. The project involves a lot of electronics, which it's not within my expertise. The project also involves a lot of coordination with different organizations. I had to present our progress to them a few months ago when I was not up to speed on the technicalities. It was a mixture of apoligizing and B.S.-ing, but I had to go through it. BTW, I'm catching up and getting the hang of it.

[papayahed]

If I had to yes, but I would try to get my facts as straight as possible.


If you had the choice of being naked for ten minutes in front of a large group of people or had to give a 2 minute speech in front of that same group which would you choose?

[RobinHood3000]

Two minute speech. I'm self-conscious.

Same question (snicker...)

[samercury]

lol
Speech! Speech!!!

Same question

[Virgil]

Yeah, what kind of choice is that. Who would pick the ten minutes?

I'll leave the same question in the hopes that someone will actually take the ten minutes.

[Aurora Ariel]

Two minuet speech. It's not that difficult if one is prepared. I would only refuse if I had not written something down before- that would just be incredibly embarrassing, and I could understand if one would wish to runaway or go somewhere else in a hurry. I'll pass the question...

[Virgil]

I would give a two minute speech on anything, even if I didn't know a blessed word about it, rather than stand naked in front of people, even for 30 seconds.

[Whifflingpin]

What if the people were art students doing a life study?

.

[Pendragon]

I weigh in at about 300 pounds. I carry the weight well, since most of my six foot height is trunk, so I look more massive than fat. (At least clothed.) But I'd give a 10 minute speech on DRYER LINT before appearing nude in public! And I don't think the art students would be looking for someone like me, Whifflingpin, they would like an Adonis. :brow: :blush:

Same question, with Whifflingpin's addition.

[adilyoussef]

I'd give 10 hours speech in front of any group of people that being nude.

Would you spend from your own money to improve your job? (Suposing thatyou work for other people).

[emily655321]

And I don't think the art students would be looking for someone like me, Whifflingpin, they would like an Adonis. :brow: :blush:You'd be surprised, Pen. As an art student, I've studied a few nudes in my day, and one "Adonis" body really looks just like any other, especially when they do stereotypical "this will hide my love handles" poses. Art students like more "interesting" bodies to study, if you ask me. :brow:

I took an improvisational acting course, and we had to stand in front of the other students and just talk for a specified period of time. It was really very fun. If the speech had to make sense, though, it might be a different story. :D

Okay, okay, I'll answer the question. Answer: yes, because I have. I've bought things like matches, pens, paper towels, light bulbs, and things for my workplace, because the owners weren't doing it and we needed them.

Uhh... same question.

[Virgil]

You'd be surprised, Pen. As an art student, I've studied a few nudes in my day, and one "Adonis" body really looks just like any other, especially when they do stereotypical "this will hide my love handles" poses. Art students like more "interesting" bodies to study, if you ask me. :brow:

Uhh... same question.
Well, even though I have an adonis body :cool: *lying through his teeth* I would still not want to be in front of a class naked. Especially art students. They are going to probe and look at every detail.


Would you spend from your own money to improve your job? (Suposing thatyou work for other people).
I have. If you improve at your job, then you might get a promotion. Nonetheless, being good at my job makes me feel good about me, so I see it as in my self interest. My job though in the last decade or so has gotten good at providing requests that will enhance our abilities. For the guys that work for me, I pretty much approve whatever book or training class they want to take, as long as it's relevant and reasonable. I believe that resources of a company/organiztion is not only in the material equipment, but more importantly in the intellectual capital of the personnel.

Same question.

[papayahed]

opps, I meant it to be the other way around. 2 minutes nude vs 10 minute speech.

[Whifflingpin]

"opps, I meant it to be the other way around. 2 minutes nude vs 10 minute speech"

That makes no odds, being nude is shocking for less than 2 minutes - any shame or embarrassment disappears rapidly thereafter. So, for me, if there were a reason, other than mere exhibitionism, to be nude in front of other people, that would be no problem. But then, neither would a ten minute speech.

"Would you spend from your own money to improve your job?"
S'pose so, and have done in small quantities, like buying a useful book or whatever.


Would you stop on your way to work to help a drunk involved in an accident?

[Virgil]

You mean help him if he's hurt? Of course. But I would also tell the police that I suspect he's drunk.

[RobinHood3000]

What kind of hero would one be if one does not help he who cannot help himself?


Same question.

[rachel]

hullo M'Lord. Missed you so much, my green clothes turned blue.



Yes of course I would help anyone. that is not the time to judge people.

Would you accept a ride from a stranger on a lonely road late at night when you had no other means to get home which is more than ten miles away and had forgotten your cell phone at home?

[emily655321]

Yes. But then, I'm stupid.

Would you give a ride to a stranger on a lonely road late at night when home was more than ten miles away and you had forgotten your cell phone?

[kilted exile]

It would depend if I had a long journey ahead of me or if it was just 10 miles to home. If I was travelling some distance I would stop to pick the maniac up. Also it would depend on the weather....if it was raining I'd stop anyway, but if it was a nice night I would be less inclined to.

Same question.

[samercury]

Sure- why not?

Same question

[Virgil]

Not me. I really don't think it's wise to pick up strangers on the road unless you suspected a real emergency. I don't know; tough call.

[Pensive]

I would not give a ride to the stranger. I am too self-centered so I can not be expected to give rides to strangers at the dead of night. *shudders*

Same Question.

[adilyoussef]

No, with all what is happening in the world, I preffer not. But I may do an exeption.

Same Q

[Pendragon]

You understand that I live in the mountains, in a small town. You don't expect trouble here. But we had a serial killer come through, kill at least 3, leave one for dead who surrvived and eventually was the link that sent him to prison. The scary thing is, I went to school with this guy. I knew him, and would have given him a ride without even blinking. Two others that I went to school with are now in prison for murdering their families. You never really know people. Last week, another went up for a serious crime. Safety first is my motto.

Same question.

[rachel]

there must be something wrong with the drinking water over your way!

to answer the question, no I would not, I would walk, walk walk(and hide if I heard a vehichle coming.)
I actually had to do just that once and nearly lost my life. I was nineteen and desperate to get to another city and all transportation had ceased by that hour. The guy pulled over and asked me what I thought if he took me a different direction and .....
I calmly said someone would find out and he would probably lose his life. He thought about it a moment and began driving once more. When I reached close to my destination I hardly waited for the car to stop.


If you were in a thin plastic boat alone in the middle of the ocean and noticed a tiny hole in the floor and there were sharks about, would you risk moving over to try to seal it somehow knowing the very thiness of the plastic might rip under your weight?

[adilyoussef]

Wise and sensitive as usual dear rachel.
That means to strugle for suvival. Any way, what am I loosing, my life? It's worth giving a try.

Same Q.

[Aurora Ariel]

For sure, I think the desire to survive to too strong, even in this challenging circumstance. No matter what one may endure or whatever the obstacle may be, I think many would at least attempt to overcome any dangerous and despairing predicament and live to see the next day.

Would you agree to undergo a partial face transplant, after been horrifically attacked by some animal, if suddenly you were told that the donar was a close friend or relative?

*Doctors recently performed the world's first partial face transplant, in France, after a women was attacked by her dog last year.

[rachel]

yes I read about it , and yet she continues to smoke even though she risks rejection, sheesh.
The thought of it grosses me right out but if it meant a chance to continue my work with the broken, with children and if my relative had specified he/she thought it was a good thing, then okay. really thought provoking question.

hullo dear Adil. a kiss from baby hasia and me.

would you accept a scholarship that meant a wonderful change in your circumstances if you knew that someone really poor from a third world country could benefit from it more and you had the power to transfer it over?

[Pensive]

I am myself from hmmmm, a country of third world. (that was what was written in our Geography book) *red-faced*

So, I guess that I would accept it as I am the person from a third world country according to my "Geography book"

[rachel]

oh Pen,
you know that means nothing. did you know that my country has been downgraded two years in a row and we are now call third world. I have never understood what that really meant as our 'modern' supercool rich countries are in my mind the real impoverished ones. please forgive any hurt I caused. I was only speaking in a way that others speak. It won't happen again dear.

[adilyoussef]

I'm sure that Glady won't take it ill Rachel. I know her, she is a very lively and wonderful person.

As for your question, I'd join Glady's answer. Yes, I'd take it as i'm from a third world country.

Would you forgive even being hurt?

[Pensive]

oh Pen,
you know that means nothing. did you know that my country has been downgraded two years in a row and we are now call third world. I have never understood what that really meant as our 'modern' supercool rich countries are in my mind the real impoverished ones. please forgive any hurt I caused. I was only speaking in a way that others speak. It won't happen again dear.

Oh dear, I am not hurt. It is alright. I know that you did not mean to hurt someone. You ask for forgiveness when you have done nothing. :D

[rachel]

thankyou,I will do a more appropriate one.

Would you pirate or download videos or games when you know it is illegal and is really a form of stealing from the person who made the videos or games?

[Pendragon]

It is something I have had to fuss with my kids about. It is forbidden in this house. Bottom line.

Pass the question.

[RobinHood3000]

NEVER. It's something I'm really uptight about with my friends, but they do it anyway. Jerks.


Same question!

[rachel]

Never, it REALLY upsets me when my friends do it. My friend who is a lawyer's secretary, and her children do it always. I feel sick about it.

would you help a best friend get someone they told you they loved, only you loved that person secretly too?

[IrishCanadian]

That is a very tough question!
In theory I would say yes, I would like to say yes. But I probably wouldn't in the real circumstance. I'm sorry
Same question.

[Chava]

hm.. generally i avoid including myself in other peoples love lives. The whole fuss about "does he love me?" and the "chase" of "catching" someone, annoys me. i have completely different relationships with people, and love seems to evolve untill it hits me in the face, whereupon, i inform the subject of my emotions, usually in some creative way.
wow.. that was a string of unnecessary info. answer no.

Same ques

[RobinHood3000]

I think I would let my friend know of my intentions and then try and find the person-in-question's preference. But only after establishing that regardless of the outcome, my friend and I will be mature enough to remain friends.

Same question!

[Pendragon]

It sounds like a no-win situation. "Playing with the Queen of Hearts. Knowing it ain't really smart."

Same question....

[Virgil]

Let me get this straight: My best friend is in love with someone, and I'm secretly in love with that person too; would I get my friend set up with that person we both loved? Tough call, but sorry friend, I'm going for her myself.

OK, same question.

[rachel]

sigh, I have done just that. It didn't work out for them but by that time I had moved on in my heart.

Would you let a friend borrow your car for a week and to go to the airport to get his/her mom they haven't seen in years knowing he/she was the worst driver on earth-and also knowing that because they didn't have a vehicle and had no other way to obtain one that mom would truly think less of the person if she knew the truth?

[IrishCanadian]

I am really enjoying how circumstantial the "would yous" that you post are becomming. Yes I would ... if I had a car.

[rachel]

somehow I knew you would say that dear Irish. me too
same question

[Virgil]

A week? What would I do without a car for a week? I can't not have a car for a week. Sorry, no.

Same question

[Pensive]

I have no car. I was watching "An Unfinished Life" and that girl was just 11 when she learnt to drive. I wanna learn to drive!

Same Question!

[chmpman]

This would probably be a good thing for me; I drive to work everyday, even though it's not far. So, yes.

Same Q

[Virgil]

A week? What would I do without a car for a week? I can't not have a car for a week. Sorry, no.

Same question
Let me add to this. I would volenteer to pick his mother up at the airport.

[Aurora Ariel]

Yes, easily, though I don't have a car. I can't even drive. I've never driven any car. My parents have always driven me around anywhere I need to go, but I prefer no car. I would rather take a train, tram, taxi, or walk. I quite enjoy walking and taking in all of the delightful sites, etc.

If a close friend informed you, casually, that they thought someone had been run over (but they were not 100% sure so left the scene) while they were out in their vehicle, would you continue as if nothing had happened, not wanting to risk ruining your friendship or think that it's your moral duty to report your friend to the authorities, behind their back? Though your friend may be in big trouble, and never forgive you.

[Virgil]

Wow. Is that a moral bind, or what. I would have report my friend. I may do it behind his back, though.

Same question

[Pendragon]

If I had a friend who could "causually" mention that he "might have ran over someone", I'd be out the door and dialing 911 so fast the cell phone would smoke! How could one be "causual" about possibly killing someone? That's a psychopath! What else has he "casually" done? Does he have plans that inclue me and a "hunting accident"? *shivers* :eek:

Pass the question.

[RobinHood3000]

Likewise--a hitter-and-runner is no friend of mine if he has no sense of remorse.


Pass the question as well.

[Whifflingpin]

Definitely report it (edit- actually, if it was a friend I'd try to persuade him to report it first)

So what if it were your partner that was the driver?

.

[papayahed]

I'd have to report it. I'd encourage my friend or my partner to turn themselves in but if they wouldn't I'd let them know I'd have to report it.

same question.

[rachel]

to me a hit and run is a heinous crime because, fear or not, to leave someone helpless, lying there, maybe dying is criminal in more than one way. I would understand the fear of the person and I would think of something to say in his or her defence to the police and make sure that person got a good lawyer. But I would drag them to the police station if need be. The person lying there certainly never asked for his life to be changed in an instant.

Would you try to stop a friend from shoplifting if as you wandered around the department store she/he suddenly whispered to you that such a daring event was to take place and you knew that that person already had a criminal record that if added to would preclude him from leaving the country and his family was overseas.

[Themis]

Of course, I'd try to stop him/her. I wouldn't be a real friend if I didn't.

Same question.

[Whifflingpin]

Just say loudly "You can't steal anything from here; that security guard is watching us!"

Would you prefer a present of daffodils or fruit-cake?

[Virgil]

Daffodils. My waist size is large enough; I don't need the fruit cake.

Same question.

[rachel]

Canadians would rather die than eat fruitcake! We use it for puttying before painting.needs a lot of sanding but it works)

For a beautiful Italian guy you don't have a large waist, what mirror are you looking in?

I love daffodils and any flower. I talk to them and they appreciate my jokes and are never unkind in return.

Would you take a boat around the world all by yourself?

[Pendragon]

I might, except for two problems: I don't swim well, and I don't like to be alone.

Would you give a speech in front of a standing-room only crowd you didn't know?

[samercury]

Of course- it might be fun :lol:

I'm not that beautiful. I exaggerate about my waist. I can stand to lose a few inches, but I'm not fat.

Yes I would if my wife and parents could do without me for that time. I agree with Same. It might be fun.

I agree with Same. It might be fun. I occaisionally have to do it right now.

Same question

[Pensive]

I love speeches. Hurray! I guess that I would like to give a speech infront of an unknown crowd.

Same Question!

[rachel]

I would rather be tied up and left on a railroad track. and I don't want that.
Once when I about eighteen a pastor walked up to me, I was visiting, and because he had heard me say something, who knows what, asked me to give a half hour talk in front of people I didn't know. To this day I have no memory of what I said I was utterly terrified, But apparently he thought it was okay. When I did my practicum at the court house I had to deal with all the lawyers. It was AGONY, except for Caroline Wells. I was in hell. I couldn't even talk to one person at a time never mind a crowd.

[Dos Santos]

Hmm if I had to give a speech to a group of people I didn't know i would first get drunk and then do it. That way everyone wins... they get there speech and i don't remember how bad i was at doing it.

Would you ever play real life frogger. for anyone who has never heard of frogger i would first like to say... you are sheltered, and then for anyone who just can't figure out what real life frogger means, well it's when you wait for rush hour go find the busiest street and then on a green light run across the street and try not to get hit... yes i have done it and been hit mulitple times. Thats why i think frogger is the true embodiment of courage, determination, and perseverance. No matter how many times frogger gets run over on his way across the street to get to the pond, he comes back to life to do it all again even tho he knows his chances of making it are almost nothing... frogger wherever you are, I salute you.

[Riesa]

What? No. Why don't you join the Marines, my friend.

Do you a insy-weensy little tiny death wish?

[Dos Santos]

No its more i just get extremely bored and that is one way that i found out to entertain myself. But don't worry I run fast.

[RobinHood3000]

I know what Frogger is, but I don't see him as perseverent and courageous. I see him as insane and suicidal. You ever wonder if maybe it's not the same frog, but one of the previous frog's buddies that tries again?

Nope, however as a child my gran always used to tel me "tae way ootside'n play wi the traffic" I wonder if this is what she meant.

Would you lie on a resume to get a job?

[RobinHood3000]

Depends. If you're seeking political office, one would imagine it'd be expected, but otherwise, NO :p.

Same question.

[Dos Santos]

Well I wouldn't lie persay, more I would simply leave out certain facts that could prevent me from getting the job. Now if that qualifies as lieing then, yes i suppose I would.


would you manipulate a person or group of people to improve your own standings in life?

[IrishCanadian]

If its the govornment or an educational institution then yes. If its peers or a workplace then probably not.
Same Q

[Ryduce]

I believe that it is every human beings primordial instinct to try to better himself or his standings in life,regardless on who he steps on along the way.





Same question fools.

I can't believe it!that is so funny.
My grandfather, on the man who raised me's side, was an Irish and Scottish gentleman who looked amazingly like Matlock and always wore white(he was from Joplin Missouri) We only saw him usually at Christmas and after a southern dinner and a kazillion gifts he would look at all us children and say"it's sunny outside you just run along here and play on the street."
"But granddaddy there are cars and they would hit us and we would die" I responded all wide eyed.]
"And your point is what?" was all he answered. :D

no I wouldn't lie I would be too cowardly.


would you tell someone who is really sensitive that he/she looked good in the new outfit they just purchased even though it looked hideous on him and you could see others sniggering behind the poor person's back?

[Riesa]

Yes, it's better in the end...Wait. What are you saying, Rachel? I thought you liked my new parachute pants and tube top.
