Would You??

[Virgil]

I would very gently say that I don't know if this outfit is for you. But do as you please.

[Petrarch's Love]

No, I wouldn't flat out lie to the person when it was obvious that he/she was going to become aware of the sniggering sooner or later. I think I would start by mentioning something that is positive about the person's appearance and then maybe suggest something else like "Well I don't know if those hotpants really bring out all you've got to offer. You should really wear something that brings out the best in you more. You know you've got some beautiful curves girlfriend, and I saw the best dress on sale yesterday that would look fine on you. Let's go shop!" Something like that, so my friend wouldn't feel rejected but she wouldn't go around being a mockery.;)

Same question.

[Dos Santos]

Well I usually go for the brutally honest truth, but I will sugar coat it for some people by being nice about it.

same.

[Pendragon]

Do not and I repeat DO NOT TRY THE HONESTY PART WITH A WOMAN YOU ARE IN A RELATIONSHIP WITH UNLESS YOU WANT OUT OF IT ANYWAY! :nod: With a guy friend, tell him the facts.

Pass the question.

[IrishCanadian]

I find that in my experience those girls (because a guy simply wouldn't ask me what I thought of their outfit like that)are trying to be too extravigant when simple is much more eligant. So I tell them. So far that has not gotten me into trouble.
Here in Canada one of our Provinces (Newfaoundlan to the East) has a tradition of kissing a puffin's bum as initiation to become a Newfounlander. Would you pucker up and smooch?

[rachel]

how utterly degrading to the Puffin! :lol: . And you wonder why we Canadians don't mention where we are from! Dear Irish I love the east but if that is what it takes to become a genuine Newfie the answer is no. I would rather be a regular on Canadian Air Farce and have everyone I know boo me and throw beer bottles at my head. And that's just the elderly ones.(I's the bye what builds the bote, I's the bye that sails em!) :lol:

would you go to a movie you had seen before, knowing you are going to laugh so hard and long that you will probably be asked to leave when someone really really precious begs you to take him/her?

[adilyoussef]

Absolutely a big YES.

Same Q

[Pendragon]

Sure. Those are the ones I usually go to. I can get depressed all by myself. I laughed myself silly Friday watching The Pink Panther. I wasn't asked to leave, because you would have had a hard time hearing me over everyone else! :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: Think pink!

Same question....

[rachel]

well yes, but I would feel sad knowing I was sitting outside waiting for my friends!


would you order a second meal or dessert in an exclusive restaurant that you had taken a friend to for a treat when you realized you couldn't find the stash of cash you had put in your pocket, the waiter was standing there with those condescending eyes wanting you to either pay or order something else, would you-to stall for time?

[papayahed]

I would do the "OH Crap my wallet is missing" and hope my friend could cover the bill or let me leave to get more cash.

hehe, this happened to a friend once - we went out to dinner (he was paying) after leaving the restaurant he told me that I actually paid and thanked me. (He was carrying my money for me at the time.) We got square later on.

Same question

[IrishCanadian]

I would definitely try to get my friend to cover the bill and I'd pay back the next day ... in fact, that is precisely what i did last night.
Same Q

[Virgil]

Do not and I repeat DO NOT TRY THE HONESTY PART WITH A WOMAN YOU ARE IN A RELATIONSHIP WITH UNLESS YOU WANT OUT OF IT ANYWAY! :nod: With a guy friend, tell him the facts.

:lol: :lol: So true.


As to the new question, what else can you do but either hope your friend has the money or do the dishes in the kitchen.

Would you make believe you were sick and play hookey from school so as to watch the Apollo moon landing?

I did, way back yonder.

[IrishCanadian]

Sorry Virgil ... this one I would definitely not do. But then I'm an arts major so perhaps its just not my personality to do something like that.
Same Q

[papayahed]

Heck Yeah I would have done that!!!! (provided I was alive at the time :D )

Would you play hooky from school/work to attended a baseball/football game?

[Pendragon]

Pulled it at school a few times, yes. :lol: We had a sub. teacher once, and convinced her the class had permission to go to the track meet that period, last for the day. She was to be there for three days, so we didn't go to class. On the third day our real teacher showed up at the track meet and busted us all! Whoops! :lol:

Same question!

[Virgil]

Pulled it at school a few times, yes. :lol: We had a sub. teacher once, and convinced her the class had permission to go to the track meet that period, last for the day.

Same question!
Oh man was she slow. It took her three days!

A professional game yes. But my parents would never have allowed that.

Same Q.

[Whifflingpin]

No, why waste a good hookey day on watching baseball?

Same question

.

[Riesa]

I suppose so, you only live once.


same q

[Weeping Willow]

hhmmm that would mean i'll have to go the USA right... a bit reaky here...

but yeah sure why not...

SaME QUesTiON plEazE:

[kilted exile]

Yep definitely - I once played hooky to queue for 5 hours in the rain to buy tickets for a sporting event (Rangers, Champions league tickets saw them play Valencia & Bayern Munich)


Same Question

[rachel]

not for sports I wouldn't(everyone smells bad, yells in five different swear word languages and drink like a fish-and that is just the grandmothers!)
But I definitely would for a rock concert.

Would you take the very last cake in a bakery near closing time when you could hear someone far behind you in line saying how wonderful his grandma was going to feel having a pretty cake given to her in hospital now that she was recovering from surgery?

[RobinHood3000]

No--I like cake, but not enough to sacrifice my heart for it.


Same question.

[Virgil]

not for sports I wouldn't(everyone smells bad, yells in five different swear word languages and drink like a fish-and that is just the grandmothers!)
But I definitely would for a rock concert.

Oh like they use clean language at a rock concert? Sure no beer, but they pass joints around.


No I wouldn't take the last cake under those circumstances.

Same Q.

[kilted exile]

I would buy the cake! but only to prevent anyone else in the queue between me and the kid buying it, I would then give it to the wean

[rachel]

you know Virg, I knew you were going to say that. That is why I SAID THAT! Sorry but you are so Tom Hanks and every now and then I like to see you on fire!And I would do it for a baseball game or soccer, I'd wait in line for a day if Ihad to.

Aw Kilted I knew you would do that. you are not a bit like any of the friends I have, most would have bought it and eaten in front of the rest! I love them though, they do have their sweet points

Would you steal a hockey stick with The Great One's authentic signature on it if you 'chanced' to be in his house in the basement and saw like thirteen of them on the wall, all exactly the same?

[chmpman]

No - a hockey stick seems mighty tricky to covertly sneak from one's house. Plus I'm not a hocky fan.

Same Q

[Virgil]

you know Virg, I knew you were going to say that. That is why I SAID THAT! Sorry but you are so Tom Hanks and every now and then I like to see you on fire!
:lol: Do I get fired up? :D

As to the hockey stick: No, I wouldn't steal anything.

[adilyoussef]

no.

Would you stay home doing nothing instead of working?

[Virgil]

Yes, but it gets charged as a vacation day. I have when I just need a day to myself.

Same Q.

[rachel]

no because then someone would suffer.

would you show up at a symphony concert having paid for a choice seat dressed as raggedy ann or andy due to a bet(lots of money involved) even though you knew a bunch of terribly important people to your career-with absolutely no sense of humour, would be sitting in your row? :brow:

[RobinHood3000]

No--dignity above money.

Same question!

[Virgil]

Well, the way the whole world has gone casual (to my dismay) I see lots of pople dressed pretty casual at the Philharmonic. As to me I guess there may be a price I could be won over (a million bucks?) but it better meet that threshold.

[samercury]

Depends...um....ususally...no

Same question

[Intellectual]

Not really.......the bond imposed upon the couple by the priest would put a tight coil around myself and my partner.....a.k.a. requirement to take care of each other meaning that we would atleast have to like if not love.


I like jelly beans!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :nod:

[rachel]

I don't know what the question was for the above answer(sorry)

Would you take a job tapdancing on broadway for two months to help someone out who broke their leg and would lose their job if they had shown you the steps beforehand and it was okay with the choreographer?(the money isn't that great on Broadway)(oh and your employer is okay with it too) :banana:

[CheshireCat87]

do i know this person or is it just some random guy on the street if i knew them and i was capable of tapdancing then yes i would but if i didn't know them then i probably wouldn't

would you go out with some one if you knew that they were your only hope of true love but they were your bestfriends ex?

[Ryduce]

Absolutely.I would do if they were still together,and then say, "in your face buddy."And my friend would do the same to me,which is why we are best friends.









Same Q

[rachel]

you never fail to amaze me Ry. I love you

I would think long and hard about it and then I would if it was absolutely right and the other person had absolutely no attachement to the ex.

the same question.

[RobinHood3000]

I probably would, assuming my best friend was done grieving. Love knows no boundaries of time, and I'd like to think that I'd have the self-control to hold off serious courtship until my friend's feelings were taken into full consideration.

Same question, this is intriguing.

[Virgil]

Yes, if they were truely ex. What's the big deal, they've split?

Same Q

[chef]

yea because love happens even if you don't want to that's the great thing about it!

same question

[rachel]

love hurts though, ow ow ow ow ow .

would you tell your boss you are sick if you had a ticket to an elete auction that was invite only and was selling some of your favorite author's and actor's memorabilia, once in a life time opportunity?

[Virgil]

Yes, I've called in sick when I haven't been. As long as my schedule is free that day, then what the heck. I don't usually take sick when I'm sick.

[papayahed]

No. I would call in, but not sick. I usually say "I can't make it in today" I don't like pretending to be sick - I fear I'll end up getting sick.

Same question.

[Pendragon]

Been a moot question with me for a while, but I never called in sick when I wasn't.

Same question.....

[rachel]

No I would just ask if I could switch a shift or take a day off and use some holiday pay.

hullo Pen, hugs.

Would you walk the highway in sub zero weather and hitch when you could even though there was a strong possibility you would freeze to death, on a journey of four hundred miles because you just had to see someone who loved and were worried about?(I did when I was seventeen because I was worried about my grandfather.It was frightening but I got there and it was the last time I saw him)

[Virgil]

No, probably not. Four hundred miles is too prohibitive to consider. I would have to find another way.

Same Q

[ElizabethSewall]

I would if I really loved this person.
"And what love can do, that dares love attempt" :nod:

Same Q.

[rachel]

yes of course.have done it several times.

hi sweetheart(hugs,kiss)

would you go on the Orient express if it was completely restored to travel it's original long route, if all expenses were paid for you but all the rest of your companions on the trip were students from the school of mime and refused to speak a word to you, only mime?

[RobinHood3000]

Sure--it'd be the best slumber I've ever had.

Same question!

[Virgil]

Yes, no one to disturb me as I read.

Same Q.

[emily655321]

As long as they didn't insist on wearing face-paint and stretch pants. Other than that, it would be a dream come true for strangers not to speak to me on the train. The less, the merrier.

Would you attend the school of mime if you won a full scholarship?

[Virgil]

Would you attend the school of mime if you won a full scholarship?
:lol: Oh that made me laugh. I guess it depends on what the options are. On balance, probably not. What would I do with it?

[chmpman]

That's sort of what I thought, in Montana, we just don't have the sort of culture that embraces mimes. I think it'd be pretty difficult to make a living as a mime here.

Same Q

[Riesa]

I was about to say, what culture does embrace mimes? but then I remembered seeing Marcel Marceau in New York and he was amazing.

I'd go, it would be a great party trick if nothing else.

Would you ever pick up garbage alongside the highway just to be nice and make our world a little prettier?

[rachel]

I always do and I also make others stop the vehicle when I am a passenger and they have to helpl.they get so ticked, but whatever. And here in the city I clean up as often as I can.

same question

[Virgil]

I try not to pollute, but frankly walking along a highway is fairly dangerous. Unless you have a real reason to being there (car broken down, helping someone in an accident) you should not take the risk of being there. They make you slow down for a reason for highway repair crews for their safety. They do get killed.

No, I won't stop to pick up litter off a highway. The risk outweighs the benefit. I hope you all will keep this in mind. If you are concerned about the litter, push your local government for more frequent clean ups. They must have complaint numbers (we do in NYC) for this sort of stuff.

Same Q.

[Dos Santos]

Well as you all know i run across busy highways all the time for fun so this is a farcry from different. so yes i would.

same

[Pendragon]

I never wander along the highway. If I am found doing that, someone call 911, I'm in bad shape! Around here, the prisoners from the jail are used to pick up trash along the highways. They voulenteer. Why not? They get fresh air for the day, soft drinks, and exercise. The county gets free labor. Win-win situation. I do not add to their labor, I clean my car/truck out at home.

Pass the question.

[rachel]

well this is after all British Columbia and the highways are rather quiet except on sundays and holidays and not that unsafe.It is in the cities that pedestrians are struck routinely and left for dead, it seems to be a passtime of many.
So yes I would but of course not foolishly. I am talking of litter that can cause an accident to some speeder and the people in the cars behind him/her.

Would you cross dress if your boss was a cross dresser and was depressed and asked you to go with him, nothing further than cross dressing, for an evening of fun and the chance to meet'slightly different people?"

[Virgil]

Would you cross dress if your boss was a cross dresser and was depressed and asked you to go with him, nothing further than cross dressing, for an evening of fun and the chance to meet'slightly different people?"
:lol: :lol: :lol:
No. The embarressment of being caught would humiliate me. I could never live that down.

Same Q. Boy, am I curious to your answers.

[kilted exile]

Would wearing my kilt work. People have refered to it as a "skirt" before.

Same Q

[Riesa]

I'd like to see how they looked after they said that to you.

I guess so, it might be fun, but passing off as a man would be more difficult than a man dressing as a woman.

same q

[Virgil]

I guess so, it might be fun, but passing off as a man would be more difficult than a man dressing as a woman.

Perhaps, but not as humiliating if discovered. At least I don't think so.

[emily655321]

Oh, of course I would! I've cross-dressed before, though I suppose it doesn't carry as much stigma for women as it does for men. Every year my old college holds a cross-dressing party, called the Gender Bender Ball, and this is me last year as a lumberjack. (I had just had my last performance as Banquo earlier that evening, so I was well practiced in my man-swagger.) Sorry the photo's so dark.

[emily655321]

Next question: Would you pierce a bodypart of your own choosing if someone offered you money to do it? You could take it out after a day.

[ElizabethSewall]

Emily I love the picture!!
No I wouldn't, unless I needed money desperately...

Same Q.

[Virgil]

Really nice pic emily. You really look like a man.

No I would never body peirce.

Same Q.

[RobinHood3000]

Oh, of course I would! I've cross-dressed before, though I suppose it doesn't carry as much stigma for women as it does for men. Every year my old college holds a cross-dressing party, called the Gender Bender Ball, and this is me last year as a lumberjack. (I had just had my last performance as Banquo earlier that evening, so I was well practiced in my man-swagger.) Sorry the photo's so dark.
Come on...you knew this was coming when you put it up...

Sheeee's a lumberjack, and she's okay,
She sleeps all night and she works all day!

I agree, cross-dressing doesn't seem to be quite so much a problem for girls as it is for us guys. For example, two of my female classmates have no problem going to a dance together as friends to save $10 on tickets, so my mom seemed to think it would be a good idea to suggest I go with one of my guy classmates. Blecch. Fortunately, she only suggested it in private (as opposed to taking matters into her own hands, as she sometimes does with other things), at which point I had to explain to her why to do so would raise eyebrows for guys but not for girls.

Depends what body part, how much money, and the retail price of laughing gas.

Same question!

[RobinHood3000]

Really nice pic emily. You really look like a man.
That Virgil sure has a way with compliments, doesn't he? :lol:

[kilted exile]

The complete lumberjack song (and very relevant to the cross dressing topic it is too)


Lumberjack Song - Monty Python
I'm a lumberjack and I'm OK
I sleep all night and I work all day.

Chorus:
He's a lumberjack and he's OK
He sleeps all night and he works all day.

I cut down trees, I eat my lunch
I go to the lavatory.
On Wednesdays I go shopping and have buttered scones for tea

Mounties:
He cut down trees, he eat his lunch
He go to the lavatory.
On Wednesdays he go shopping and has buttered scones for tea.

Chorus:
He's a lumberjack and he's OK
He sleeps all night and he works all day.

I cut down trees, I skip and jump
I like to press wild flowers.
I put on women's clothing and hang around in bars.

Mounties:
He cuts down trees, he skips and jumps
He likes to press wild flowers.
He puts on women's clothing and hangs around in bars?!

Chorus:
He's a lumberjack and he's OK
He sleeps all night and he works all day.

I cut down trees, I wear high heels
Suspenders and a bra.
I wish I'd been a girlie, just like my dear papa!

Mounties:
He cuts down trees, he wears high heels?!
Suspenders...and a bra?!

...He's a lumberjack and he's OK
He sleeps all night and he works all day.

...He's/I'm a lumberjack and he's/I'm OK
He/I sleep all night and he/I work all day.


Now with regards to the piercing, definetely 1 day and I choose where + I get paid. That is a sweet deal


Would you politely smile & eat what someone has cooked for you, even though it is something you cant stand.

[emily655321]

Elizabeth and Virgil— Thank you. :p

:lol: @ Robin and Kilted

You guys are too much.

To answer the question: Yes. I've done that plenty of times. Sometimes I end up discovering a new favorite, something I always assumed was gross but had never felt inclined to confirm. Sometimes I just have to grin and bear it, like when my boyfriend put wayyyyyyy too much pepper in the kielbasa dish he made. In the end, it's only food. Unless you're sure you'll puke all over the table after the first swallow, I see no reason not to be a little adventurous.

Same question.

[rachel]

yes I have to do that a lot. for some reason none of my girlfriends except one can cook. I don't personally know how they eat the stuff they make. It winks at me and I get really scared and pray over it. but I eat it and feel seasick and I never feel seasick on a boat. but i couldn't bear to hurt their feelings. however if I am invited for like a whole day(three meals) I offer to bring a bunch of food...you know to give them a break. They love my food and I get to live another day.works for me. :banana:

would you accept a paid challenge to go into a restaurant where just everyone speaks another language you don't know, to sit down at a table , order and talk to all the people around you pretending to be able to speak their language?The money is quite substantial and paid as soon as you leave and the person watching has recovered from hysterical laughing and you have finished frying eggs on your face. :redface:

[Pendragon]

Considering that I have been in a very crowed store and suddenly broke out into a very broad Cockney accent while asking for help, directions, or something else, I probably would! I love a good gag, even if its on myself, so why not? I once pulled the old "I speak an incoprehensible language on a telemarketer." Fastest hang-up I ever had! :lol: :lol: :lol:

Pass this excellent question...

[rachel]

nope, pretty much rather be dead.

same question

[Whifflingpin]

Easy peasy - I would

Would you kiss the talking frog to get a princess, or prefer to keep the talking frog?

.

[Riesa]

ummmm, I'd keep the talking frog, what on earth would I do with a princess? Can the talking frog sing and dance too?

Hello my baby hello my darling, hello my rag-time gaaaa-alll.

same Q

[RobinHood3000]

Princess--I've seen what happens to the guy that tries to peddle off a singing/dancing frog...

Same question!

[rachel]

I would take the princess and give her hand into the hand of M'Lord, prince of Sherwood forest.

same question

[tn2743]

Definitely the princess, coz I don't like frogs, especially the big green ones..and talking?...scary! Plus I want to go out with a princess once.

Would you keep waiting if someone is over an hour late?

[ElizabethSewall]

It depends of I who am waiting for. But sometimes you just can't leave...

Same Q.

[woeful painter]

Definitely the princess, coz I don't like frogs, especially the big green ones..and talking?...scary! Plus I want to go out with a princess once.

Would you keep waiting if someone is over an hour late?

over three hours...yes...for a very important matter...or the person at least. :D


----
princess? frogs? uhh...nevermind, my eyes are already stolen...by an angel somewhere up there :D

[Pendragon]

Princess--I've seen what happens to the guy that tries to peddle off a singing/dancing frog...

Same question!
Yeah, I recall seeing that guy myself. Quite a string of bad luck trying to get others to believe in a dancing, singing frog. Princess, I guess.

Would you chose to be famous but poor or rich but unknown?

[adilyoussef]

The second, for I'd need money to survive.

Same Q

[woeful painter]

"rich but uknown" for me too. unless fame will garner me money someday :D

[emily655321]

I'm seriously hoping for "rich but unknown." The downside of riches for me would be being on some kind of list, or photographers hanging in trees outside my window. I have no desire to be famous, never have. Thankfully, I'm not especially good at anything that involves performance or being physically present. I would take a lot of pleasure in writing or illustrating something that became quite proliferant, and seeing my drawings everywhere, but leading a life of total anonymity.

Same question.

[papayahed]

Rich but unknown


If your Significant Other asked you to drastically change your hair cut would you?

[RobinHood3000]

To the previous question: Lesse...who was that guy who was famous but poor? What was his name? Gandhi?

Depends if she gives a reason. If I have infestation issues, yes, or if it's a passing preference. If she was coercing me for some shallow reason, though, then the relationship needs SERIOUS work.

Same question!

[AimusSage]

NEVER! My hair is my business. Only I have the right to even think about changing it. Unless it is a great idea about a different style, then I'll consider it. It's like telling a girl that her new cloths look terrible, except my hair looks great and her cloths do look terrible.

Same Q!

[Petrarch's Love]

Oh wow, no. I haven't had short hair since I was four, and I'm not about to cut it now. I don't think it will ever be a problem though. Most of the compliments I receive where looks are concerned are about my hair.

Same question.

[Virgil]

My wife has bugged me on changing my hair style, but I've resisted for over ten years. I guess I'm not going to change it.

Same Q

[Pensive]

Yep, if he would insist, then I would.

Same Question!

[Mililalil XXIV]

How dare you?

Would you make a citizen's arrest if you saw an illegality abrewing?

[rachel]

tried, so yes. My friend Julie and I saw a policman doing something very illegal to someone in Calgary. we were very grownup, sixteen and full of fire. we went right up to him, told him his rights and tried to make a citizens arrest while we got help from another to call the 'police' well that went off well, he smiled and asked us if we would like to find ourselves at the bottom of the Bow river with cement shoes on. we never thought of the police the same after that.

same question

[RobinHood3000]

Yes--I have a hero complex, after all.

To rachel--how dare he?!

Same question.

[ElizabethSewall]

Yes I would. And M'lord would protect Rachel and me of course!

Smae Q.

[AimusSage]

I'dd like to say I would, but if it were a minor offense I wouldn't, not worth the hassle, nor would I if they have weapons, or if I am in any way outnumbered. Afterall, nobody needs a dead hero. I did once stop a guy from getting away after robbing someone, but I wasn't really a citizen arrest, 't was more like running him down and getting the purse back. Couldn't really keep get him back as he was quite eager to get away, so to speak.

Would you sneak into a concert, if you really want to see it, but their were no more tickets available?

[Pendragon]

To be perfectly honest, I don't know. There are few concerts I am interested in. But if The Eagles were somewhere nearby.....well, it's no secret that they are my favorite group. I would hope to overcome temptation, but a man is only human....

Same question.

[adilyoussef]

Yes.

Same Q

[emily655321]

No, I'm such a good little girl. I really, genuinely hate being dishonest that way. I'm also really afraid of getting in trouble, and the fear of being caught combined with guilt would be more than enough to ruin the concert for me, even if I did get in.

Would you go out to lunch, or to other casual social functions, with your boss?

[Virgil]

We do go to lunch together frequently. What would be wrong with that? I rarely go to a social function after work.

Same Q

[rachel]

yes I did and it was a nightmare, the lunch from hell. She got in trouble by the highest boss for being rude to me,I didn't care but he did.She wasn't well so what did it matter. To MAKE THINGS BETTER K took E and I out and you could hear a pin drop during the whole meal. I didn't like it, nope.

Would you model clothes for a runway show even though you are horribly shy because it was for charity and your boss thought you would be perfect for the job?

[Virgil]

I guess I would, but the evening gown better not be too short and expose my hairy legs.

Same Q.

[Mililalil XXIV]

Never!

Would you be a model for elderly fashions at the mall for $1000.00?

[rachel]

nope, I'd rather have hairy legs!

same question

[Pensive]

Yep, I would certainly be for such a large sum of money.

Same Question!

[Pendragon]

Well, they would have to be at a big and tall men's store.... :lol: :lol: :lol: I live in a world rapidly growing too small for a 300+ pound man! Hee-hee!

Same question.

[emily655321]

A thousand? Totally. I'd do it more readily than for "young" clothes, certainly. Less exposed, fewer expectations. And, fewer people would be watching, surely.

Would you model swimsuits in the mall for $1000?

[Virgil]

Sure, if my spare tire around my waist doesn't turn people off.

*second thought* Not if it was one of those bikini bottoms with a string for a backside. No, it would have to be way, way more than a $1000 dollars for that.

Same Q

[rachel]

I am too shy, no way.

same question

[Pensive]

I would do so if I would have shortage of money that time, otherwise no!

Same Question!

[Mililalil XXIV]

Not for all the money in the world!

Would you wear a florescent orange sweater with a picture of mittens on it, every day for a year in order to maybe qualify for a $10,000 winning? You would have to wear it out every day and the chances of winning would be a toss-up between you and one other on the other side of the world.

[samercury]

Yes!!!!! ;)

Same question....

[Virgil]

Just to qualify? No. It would stink after a week or so. I can't imagine after a year.


Same Q

[rachel]

he didn't say one cannot wash it dear Virgil.
i would and I would give it to the Red Cross or doctors without borders for the children.

[emily655321]

A sweater? Every day of the year? Heck, no! I don't mind looking silly (it's a bit of a hobby, actually), but I wouldn't wear a sweater in August for all the money in the world.

Would you agree to publish an incomplete piece of work that you consider quite bad and embarrassing, if the publisher wanted to and you would get paid very well? Or would you pass up the deal in order to finish it, at the risk that the offer would not still be standing in the end?

[AimusSage]

I'll pass and finish the work. If it is good, and deserves to be published, it'll be published. No money can make me sell out like that.

same Q.

[Virgil]

Probably pass and finish the work. Depends if i'm starving.

Same Q

[rachel]

If money was terribly pressing I would go under a different name and change the work into a Harlequin romance type deal(ugh but I read those guys make kazillions) and hopefully none would be the wiser.Then I would apply myself to some really stellar work and go under my own name.

would you tell someone you heard kids laughing quietly in the hall plotting a massacre in the building if you weren't sure they were just joking or role playing and you knew they were a vengeful group of kids?

[RobinHood3000]

Yes, and then I'd go hunting with my bow and arrow. Vengeance, meet justice.

Same question.

[samercury]

Yes- little kids are scary :cold: and often mean what they say- even as a joke

...same question

[Virgil]

Yes, better safe than sorry. They shouldn't be playing and if they are this will enlighten them. The hard way.

Same Q

[Ryduce]

Sadly at the school that I went to guns and knives were commonplace.One time a guy I knew placed a bullet in some other guys locker with a note attached to it(that's pretty gangster).Stuff liked that happened alot,and I never did anything about it.Nor did anyone else.


Same Q

[tn2743]

Mmm. I'd be very scared to see kids in my building to start with, coz it's a secured building apparently and only has one bedroom flats for couples. So yes, definitely, coz they probably mean business.

same Q

[hera-on-earth]

I guess I wud....as Virgil said..."better safe than sorry"

[hera-on-earth]

oh ya!!! and the question!
Same one

[Pendragon]

Knowing what I now know yes. Unfortunately, I was stabbed in the 7th grade and we all passed it off as an accident involving a rusty barbed wire fence since I knocked the guy out anyway. It didn't esculate into anything, but it could have. I have the scar to remind me, I think he's missing a few teeth. But if either of us had decided that we were not through... yeah, that's all it takes is a spark. I've raised three kids to be non-violent and to report any suspicious actions.

Same question....

[AimusSage]

Depends whether I live in the building or not :p but seriously I doubt I would. I tend to let things run their course with minimal interference, besides, I give people the benefit of the doubt, there is enough paranoia in the world already.

Would you panic if you heard on the news that a large comet is going to destroy the world?

[ElizabethSewall]

:lol: Armageddon is on TV tonight in France! Weird coincidence... :lol:

Well I guess I would but more for the people I care about than for me. But the idea of suffering doesn't enjoy me either.

Same Q.

[tn2743]

I would not panic, because we still have Bruce and Ben and, of course, NASA to save us!

same Q

[jackyyyy]

My first question would be, "When ?". I think the last time this happened to the World, Bruce only had two weeks to get his crew ready.. so lots of time

Same Q..

[Stanislaw]

nope, It might be a usefull thing.

Would you launch an asteroid at the earth...assuming you would be perfectly safe?

[AimusSage]

Sure, would make for a nice experiment. :D

Same Q.

[tn2743]

Never! How about the trees and the animals, and ...hmmm ...let me think ...the other people? I'd launch it at Jupiter again though, that was a good show.

Would you kiss someone you really hate for 20 dollars?

[rachel]

I am too shy to kiss anyone I was not in love with except babies but someone I hate no I am no Judas.(i loved talking to you today)

Good God. Is Newport News worst than Brooklyn, NY?


No, if i truly hate someone, which would mean the person is a real low life, not just someone I disagree with, I couldn't kiss him/her. We're talking child molester type here for me.

It has it's days.It's a pretty densely populated city with it's fair share of gangs.There was a girl who set in front of me in science class my freshman year and she was shot in the head.I doubt it's worse than NYC,but it can defintely be rough at times.I have bullet holes in my wall.

NYC on a per person basis is the safest large city in the U.S. But it has it's pockets of problem areas.

[Ryduce]

I think Newport News is a great place overall.Just 20-30 minutes to VA Beach and Norfolk.It has the largest privately owned shipyard in America.The climate is fairly mild all year,and it's right where the James River and Chesapeake Bay meet.Like you said though it has those little pockets that can be pretty frightening at night,but it just happens that I live in one of those pockets.

Actually I sent that shipyard a resume when I graduated college and was looking for a job. I think they even came up to my school to interview. Nothing came of it. It did seem like a nice place to live.

[papayahed]

No, not for $20.


You work with someone that you really dispise, say there was a potluck lunch at work. Would you eat the food that person brought in?

[AimusSage]

Depends if the food is any good, my stomach cares little for my feelings towards other people, it has a mind of its own, so, as long as the food is good I'll eat it.

Same Q

[rachel]

yes and I would complement that person if warranted. The workplace is not the place to bring your hates and or love affairs I think.

would you wear one of those sandwhich boards to advertise a restaurant's opening day even though it was in the most elegant and rich part of town because the friend who owns the restaurant was really strapped and asked you to do it?

[chmpman]

Yes, if he promised me free food. I would do a whole lot for free food, I'm in college.

Same Q

[AimusSage]

I agree with Chmpman, I'd do it to if free food was involved, food is good.

Same Q

[Virgil]

I would do it for the friend. That's not too much to ask.

Same Q.

[Anon22]

I agree with Virg. As long as s/he's my friend.

Same Q

[Mililalil XXIV]

Most certainly.

same question.

[Aurora Ariel]

I'm in the affirmative as well.


Would you give limited sustenance to a poor begger, during an environmental crisis, who suddenly began to terribly abuse you, verbally, for no apparent reason, though if you left them alone, they may perish or find it very difficult to seek further help?

[Mililalil XXIV]

I would.

same question

[RobinHood3000]

I would, but not before a) teaching him/her some manners, and b) teaching him a usable skill.

[Virgil]

I would if limited sustenance meant food. I would not take him into my home. If shelter were required I would inform the police/authorities.

Same Q

[Pendragon]

I have given to people before who seemed abusive and ungrateful, but I would do it again, but like Virgil, food only. No more car lifts, or places to sleep. If they need clothing, I'll give it to them. But if they are wanting a ride, or a place to sleep, I'd contact the authorities for them.

Same Question.

[tn2743]

I would. But then I will try to avoid him the next time I use that road.

Would you confront your neighbour if they make a lot of noise, but only exactly twice a week, every week?

[Aurora Ariel]

I think I would prefer to move or check out the area before I even decided to settle there. Noisy neighbours are not on my list when it comes to assessing the desirability of a location.


Would you choose one year with another who truly understands you or one hundred years of misunderstandings?

[Virgil]

Well, I think you have to clarify that a little. A hundred years of misunderstandings sounds like my wife and me now, but we still love each other. So I would pick the hundred years if there was still love there. And in real life, does one truly "understand" another, even for a year?

Same Q

[Pendragon]

Got it in one, Virgil. No one ever really understands the other person. You'd have to BE the other person to do so. 26 years of marriage and it's our differences that keep us together. If we were the same, we'd drive each other insane. I chose the hundred years... I might say sometimes that I wish people understood me, but then the whole world would be populated with clones of me, and bless my aunt Betty if that isn't a scary picture!

Same question...

[AimusSage]

I think if someone really understood me, her head would explode, so to save her from incuring a slight injury, I'll choose a hundred years of misunderstanding.

Would you trust someone who is known to be untrustworthy, if he makes a promise?

[ElizabethSewall]

I would if it was a person whom I like, and an important promise. At least I would like to trust s/he even if that means I may be betrayed.

Same Q.

[tn2743]

I would too. How much can you trust rumours? If the promise is significant to me, I will rely on my own judgement and... time.

Same Q

[papayahed]

Nope, If I knew for a fact the person was untrustworthy why would I trust him. What's that story about the alligator and the bunny trying to cross the river.


If somebody told you a secret would you tell another friend of yours the secret if the friend lived 2000 miles away and there wasn't a chance that any one will know you told somebody else? And it's a really juicy secret your dying to discuss.

[AimusSage]

No, I don't tell other peoples secrets. Doesn't matter if I'm on earth and the other one is somewhere in the Orion nebula. It simple something I don't do.

Same Q

[ElizabethSewall]

Me neither. I could never betray someone's trust.

Same Q.

[Virgil]

It depends on the what you are trusting him with. If it's two bucks to go buy a loaf of bread at the backery, sure. But your rent money? No.

Same Q

[Pendragon]

Why?

If you were told that you had two choices: you must die or recant everything you've ever considered to be true (this doesn't just mean religion, everything) and live in a brainwashed goverment run society which would you take?

[tn2743]

The latter, of course. As long as there is life, there is hope.

Same Q

[Adelheid]

I'd die first than deny Jesus Christ as the Son of God, together with my other beliefs.

This is a good question. Same Q.

[RobinHood3000]

Rather die, I think. I'd rather learn whether my beliefs were right or wrong before surrendering them.

Same question!

[woeful painter]

So burn me on a stake and cannibalize me! I am a Christian and will never denounce my faith! :D :nod:

same Q.

[AimusSage]

dying doesn't seem like a good option. I could work to overthrow the government from within. It's not like I believe in much anyway, and the truth can be molded into anything.

Would you react aggrivated if someone kept harrasing you about the same thing over and over again, even if you know the person suffers from short term memory loss?

[Virgil]

I would try not to, but I have to admit repeated frustration is hard to control.

Same Q

[papayahed]

yes, I would try not to but I really have no patience. currently I have a guy working for me that needs to repeat everything. I give him a task then he repeats back to me several times how he's going to do it. I try to listen butt there are days when I have to say "I have to go, I'll be back".


Same Q

Just an aside: I would love to work on a project with Papaya. :lol:

i would listen to him and answer every time

would you.....
give your soul if you knew that it would save world from destruction?

[RobinHood3000]

Aye. Green Arrow did it for Metropolis--I would most certainly do it for the world.


Same question.

[chmpman]

Well, I consider this question to be 'would you die to save the world', so yeah, I suppose, but I wouldn't be happy about it.

[Virgil]

Well, I consider this question to be 'would you die to save the world', so yeah, I suppose, but I wouldn't be happy about it.
Yes, I concur with that. I wouldn't like it either, but they better name something important after me. And a few statues too, you know the kind where I'm on a horse and the horse has lifted his front legs up. :nod:

Same Q

[myself]

if it all depended on me......yeah.


same Q

[AimusSage]

Who needs a soul anyway? Well I guess I do, but what good is a soul without a world, or body or anything really, so I might as well give it up.

would you hide your true self if it did not fit in with the world?

[chef]

NO, maybe when i was younger i would but that is no fun, you are like everyone else, boring.... being different makes this world interesting!!!
Same question

[RobinHood3000]

Haven't so far--don't see any reason to start.

Same question!

[samercury]

No because it's me...

Same question

[Virgil]

No one's true self actually fits in the world. But then, as long as we are not harmful to others, we all fit as well. We accomodate with the world and the world usually accomodates with us. Therefore there is no need to answer this question.

Would you go on a planned vacation trip out of town while your father was in the hospital, but he was doing OK?

[AimusSage]

Yes, he'd order me to go too, kicking me out of the hospital straight into the bus.

Same Q.

[ElizabethSewall]

If he told me to go I would, but otherwise I'd stay until he's out.

Same Q.

[Anon22]

Nope... I wouldn't... if everything is ok, well... sometimes things have a way of turning upside-down... I guess it would depend on why he's in the hospital and how severe whatever it is is. If it's not the worsest thing in the world (that times a thousand)... then... meh... sure, why not.

Same Q

[adilyoussef]

Simply no.

Same Q

[Pendragon]

My dad and I have never lived in the same town or even in the same state since I was four. Even during his final illness, I could not be there, and none of us were able to attend his funeral, so we had one here for him. So for me, the question was moot. Sadly, things happen that way with families. Dad had finally moved here for three years before his final illness, and my sister and I made our peace with him. My younger brother never did. Then dad returned to Arizona to "take care of business" as he said, but actually to die. We could not afford the trip, and besides, he went quickly, only one day in the hospital. And a Military funeral, cremation, followed.

Enough though! Would you tell a friend he/she hurt your feeling badly or try to let it slide?

[Virgil]

Nope... I wouldn't... if everything is ok, well... sometimes things have a way of turning upside-down... I guess it would depend on why he's in the hospital and how severe whatever it is is. If it's not the worsest thing in the world (that times a thousand)... then... meh... sure, why not.

Same Q
Actually this was a real life dilemma for me yesterday. I had intended to go this morning, but then last night my father developed fever again (he's got pnuemonia but was doing nicely), and so I cancelled my trip. Digital's response was convincing: "things have a way of turning upside-down."

[AimusSage]

I would tell, because the friend has no way of knowing she hurt me if I never said anything about it. Not that I would be blunt about it, or hurt her in return, but still, it needs to be said. Although for smaller things I am inclined to let it slide, no need to make a big deal out of everything.

Same Q.

[emily655321]

If it was something deliberately mean, with no two different interpretations, I'm inclined to be silent and grow very cold towards them. If, however, it was just a slip of the tongue, them saying something on a subject that I'm sensitive about, I usually let it slide, and try to deal with the problem of my own over-sensitivity. In either case, confronting the person like a mature adult never seems to be an avenue I pursue. :rolleyes: If I get hurt, I tend to blame myself for being weak.

If you saw someone famous, would you ask for their autograph/take their picture/become otherwise unusually excited?

A little while back, a very famous person came into my workplace, and I waited on them and they left, and it was very pleasant. But the person I work with can't stop talking about it, and she got so nervous in the moment I had to do all the talking. I've wondered if there's some innate chemical reaction that causes some people to freak out when they see someone famous.

[Pensive]

Yep, I would ask the person for autograph and I will be really excited.

Same Question (Good one)

[tn2743]

No, unless they're someone I really admire...like Tiger Woods, or Thierry Henry.

Same Q

[AimusSage]

No, I would be hard pressed to recognize them as being famous anyway. It happened once that I was just chatting with someone, turned out she was a famous dutch actress. It was a just chat about nothing really, and I only found out afterwards she was well known. I should have asked her for her digits. :D

Same Q.

[papayahed]

Generally no, but I did get in line to meet Tom Morello and since everyone else was getting stuff signed and it was for his Axis of Justice cause - I bought a $4 poster and had him sign it. I told him I was probably too old for this and he said he was too. but I didn't get overly excited.

Same Q: If you saw someone famous, would you ask for their autograph/take their picture/become otherwise unusually excited?

[adilyoussef]

Never happened to me. How to react I don't know.

Would you ask for help from your foes if you have no way out but to do so?

[Virgil]

I guess it depends on the ramifications. If it's life or death, yes. If I'm out a few dollars, no.

Same Q

[RobinHood3000]

If I had to, certainly. To let a grudge get in the way of an objective (assuming the objective is noble) is just silly and immature.

Same question!

And to the celebrity question: I keep rehearsing how I want to react when I meet someone like that. I imagine they get pretty miffed (or at least bored) when someone goes into a panic attack everywhere they walk. So, I'd try not to, but no guarantees.

[myself]

it depends on what i need, if it is an emergency then yeah maybe

this happens to me all the time: would you keep critisizing your best friend although you know they get annoyed of it?

[papayahed]

Probably not, I've been known to cut off my nose to spite my face at times. But if it was life and death then maybe.

How many emails do you have in your inbox right now? (I just cleaned mine and I'm astonished to find they go back to 2004

[Virgil]

Mine don't go back to 2004, but, I'm not at work, so I don't know the exact count, but it's around 2300. Everyone is astonished at that, but I hate filing them away.

[tn2743]

No. I would only give advice when I'm asked. (my inbox goes back to 1997!)

Same Q

[Pendragon]

I'm nor sure what I have saved in my folders in my inbox, I keep letters from friends, letters from my editor, etc., filed away in folders there. Other than that, I empty it every day-- emails from friends are saved, other import e-mails are also saved, the spam filter dumps a lot of stuff which I sort through, and see if something was accidentially dumped. Can't help it, I'm a neat freak! :)

Same question.

[rachel]

Well, I have so many calls upon my life each day and try to keep our home extremely clean and well organized and my personal space and all that jazz. As for my email inboxes and my pm box just anyone on this forum almost knows that I am ALWAYS getting that dread email from litnet to clean out my box. I am forever downloading the text and cleaning it out and I got a letter from the admin to fastmail begging me to do it regularly as well, so no I only do it if not forced to about once a month.

Would you ever go to dinner with someone you never met on the say so of a good and trusted friend?

[Virgil]

A blind date? Or just dinner with someone? If I were single, I would go on a blind date if I trusted the opinion of the person bringing us together. Dinner alone with someone I don't know just for the sake of meeting a particular person I probably would not. I would have that someone bringing us together come along.

Same Q

[AimusSage]

Blind Date, sure why not, but just dinner, don't really see the point, so I asume you mean a blind date.

Same Q.

[chmpman]

I am painfully single, so I would. If a friend of mine ever felt ambitious enough to try to hook me up with someone I would have to go just to see what sort of person she was.

Same Q (I've got to start thinking of questions before I answer them, I never come up with my own)

[adilyoussef]

Why not! I see it fascinating to come across new people and talk with them. In both cases I would.

Same Q

[emily655321]

I would, but the thing that springs to my mind is "safety." I would automatically start thinking of horrible scenarios in which it starts raining and he offers a ride home, then carts me off to some basement of horrors, or other less outlandish yet equally unpleasant variations. I prefer lunch—less expensive, more daylight.

Would you wear a raincoat and goloshes to work for one full day for $30?

[Ryduce]

Damn straight.Goloshes are sweet.





Same Q

[Pendragon]

Considering I went dressed as a Clown for free, why not? Hee-Hee! ;) Couldn't be a clown now, the makeup would clash with the beard.

What was your most embarassing moment at work?

[Virgil]

I would, but the thing that springs to my mind is "safety." I would automatically start thinking of horrible scenarios in which it starts raining and he offers a ride home, then carts me off to some basement of horrors, or other less outlandish yet equally unpleasant variations. I prefer lunch—less expensive, more daylight.

:lol: A little paranoid, emily? I hope you haven't had any horrid dates like that. I guess for a woman (and me not) it must have to cross your mind.

[emily655321]

No, luckily no such dates as of yet. :p Funny that a thought like that would come to my mind in regard to a dinner-date, though. The first many "dates" that I had, if you could call them that, were alone with my now-boyfriend in his dorm room, sitting on his bed, **innocently** watching movies together on his computer—and the thought of "safety" never even crossed my mind! Luckily he's not the sort of boy I need have worried about, but gosh does that seem stupid now.

To answer Pen's question: The most embarrassing moment at work. (My co-worker is still laughing about this one.) I was feeling dizzy one day, recovering from an illness, and put a pillow (read: merchandise) on the floor behind the counter to lean on while I sat down for a minute. My co-worker was talking to me, so she didn't see until the last moment that MY BOSS was just about to walk in the door. I panicked, and started running to put the pillow back, but it was too late—my boss walked in the door and I stumbled in mid-stride, holding the pillow, and staring at her like a deer at an on-coming car. The woman I work with thought fast, saying, "Oh! Are you okay? That was some trip!" I had to walk over and put the pillow back, and return and talk to my boss, who is—thankfully—pretty flakey, and didn't say a thing about it. After she left, the other woman laughed for about two hours straight. "You should have seen the look on your face!" she said.

Same question. :)

[rachel]

Damn straight.Goloshes are sweet.





Same Q

hey Ry, you are not a Newfie are you? :lol: goloshes are SWEET? :lol: :lol: :lol:
for thirty dollars, yes I guess although I hope they would be red like my face. But I would give the money to a couple of people on the street for breakfast and swallow my shame. :blush:

same question please

[Pendragon]

Heck, I asked the question, so I'll tell on myself. I went to work in a factory right out of highschool, since Martha and I were planning on an early marriage. I worked there and became a minister as well, so I pulled double duty for 16 years. I had taken a better paying job on a different machine, and was lost in my work and singing my head off as usual. That's why I never saw the Plant Manager making his morning rounds that day. It was also why I never noticed that he had the CEO of the Company with him. So the Plant Manager steps into my work area to introduce me to the CEO, and just then I hit the Hydraulic Switch to drop the next load of doors. That whole shelf shot out, as it was supposed to. I was off couse, standing clear. The Plant Manager took it in the hip and went sprawling, almost into the glue containers and the open 55 gallon drum of transmission fluid we used to clean the machine with. I don't hear or see him. Down come the doors, the shelf is back up, I release the clamps, turn around, and freeze. The CEO sticks out his hand, tells me who he is and asks my name. I mange to get it out, but I'm looking at the Plant Manager whose suit is now dirty, and is rubbing his hip and looking daggers at me. I later found out that the CEO told the Plant Manager that he was glad to see someone enjoying their job, obeying saftey rules that were clearly posted on the wall, and that the whole thing was his own fault. But you could have lit a match on my red face when I turned around that day! :blush:

Same Question

[papayahed]

haha, that's good pen!

One of my embarrassing moments: I worked for a small company, everybody knew everybody. The woman that ran inventory control was a real doosie, always ready to blame other people for problems and always ready to point out other peoples mistakes. My lab was on the second floor, the front stair case lead directly into the front office. Well one day I was all excited about something and I have a tendency of running down stairs. This day I come charging down the stairs, I missed the last step, tripped and landed flat on my face all sprawled out in the front office. I look up and the inventory control lady and her right hand man were standing there looking at me like I had lost my mind. I got up, said hello, and walked into my bosses office.


Same q

[emily655321]

Oh, Pen and Papaya, those are both great. :lol:

(I just noticed that this is the "Would You???" thread, not "ATPBY," just for whoever asks the next question. :))

[Pendragon]

Yes, I noticed, Emily. But your story tickled my funnybone and I couldn't help it. Maybe we should start a thread or something. Hee-hee. Great one, Grover! :D :thumbs_up

[tn2743]

A close friend you have been nagging to do her coursework for a long time turns up the night before the deadline and asks for help with it (a lot of help). If you don't help, she will fail her degree. Would you help?

[Pendragon]

Actually, and this is not bragging on my part, I helped a good many of my classmates get their degree when I went back to school to prove to people that I could get one myself, because they, like so many people in this old world, think a person who suffers from my disabillity would be unable to actually complete requirement for a degree. I received my AAS Degree in IST in 2000 Summa Cum Laude, a respected member of the Honors Society. I then worked tech support for a computer firm for almost a year, but alas, it was not to be. But yes, I would help anyone I could, because I have been disrespected enough in life, and told I couldn't do something to sympathize.

Do you tend to make snap judgements about people, or reserve opinion until you get time to know them a little better?

[tn2743]

I do reserve all of my opinions until I am asked about them, or provoked to express them. But I also tend to make relatively quick judgements and am quite stubborn in sticking to them (but I can be persuaded nontheless). Can these two things be compatible?

You're probably right for helping them. I'm sorry to hear about your computing job. But it sounds like you have plenty of strength and courage to achieve many other things. I would help too, I can't let my friends down.

[adilyoussef]

I'm rather an observer, meaning I tend to observe people behaviour miticulously before giving any judgement. Hasty conclusions leads nowhere but to conflict.

Would you adopt someone's a child if you are asked to?

[AimusSage]

No, never, I am not particularly fond of children, and I definitely would never adopt one. They better take care of it themselves.

Would you start a conversation with a stranger if the stranger seemed interesting?

[adilyoussef]

I usually do. Part of my university studies were on cross-cultural differences that's why I'm always ready to talk to strangers or rather listen to them and try to identify what is commen and what is different between us.It helps building one's personality a lot.

Would you argue to deffend your thoughts or listen and try to understand what others whant to prove?

[AimusSage]

I do both, I try to understand, and often find that by putting myself in someone elses position really helps, however, if I disagree with what they are saying, I will offer my own opinion on the matter, and try to explain how I see things, while still having respect for their opinion.

Would you rather spend the night at the place of someone you know but dislike or in a hotel if given the choice?

[adilyoussef]

Whitout further explanation, I choose the hotel. It hapened many times to me.

Would you spend the whole night awake on the forum, although you have to wake up early in the morning, if you are involeved in an intresting thread that you enjoy so much?

[emily655321]

Hehe, not if I have to be up early. If I have a thought that's sticking in my head about it, I sometimes jot down notes to remember what I wanted to say. But I figure the Forum's not going to go anywhere overnight. :) Are you finding yourself in this dilemma, Adil? :p

Would you rather buy someone a present from a store, or make one yourself (like a painting or cookies)?

If it's work or class that I will have to get up for, then no.

Sorry, was too slow before.

I would definitely buy it. With my finess, I stand a chance of losing a friend rather than impress him/her making it myself:)

Same Q

[AimusSage]

Depending on how much I care about the person, I would make them a present, I have done so before. I'll give my sister a model ship for her new house I build myself. But most of my gifts are from stores.

would you do something illegal to prevent something else that is also illegal, but to you is even worse?

[tn2743]

Never! The integrity of the justice system is more important than any individual justice.

Same Q

[emily655321]

Oh, my, that's a toughie. If it's to stop someone from hurting another person, I would like to think I would, especially if my "illegal" thing was a matter of trespassing on open-air property or another harmless act. But my personal inclination is usually to remain within the law in all reasonable circumstances, by which I mean calling the police or another authority rather than becoming personally involved. I think vigilante justice only complicates matters further.

This is interesting. Same Q.

hehe... :lol: you cought me there.

And Go to jail for that! No, unless to save the life of a dearest person.

Emil Question please.

[RobinHood3000]

The vigilante question: Depends. Crime against people vs. crime against property is an important distinction. Jaywalk to stop a bank robbery or a mugging? Certainly.

I prefer to make one myself, if at all possible. It's more personal. I have an understanding with my friends that, if it's their birthday, they will receive a pre-specified sum of money (same for all friends) and a personal, usually humourous card.

Same question!

[Virgil]

Too hard for me to imagine a situation. I would probably go to the police and explain everything.

Same Q

[rachel]

nope.
would you act like you had a nervous tick sort of disorder, saying things out loud and making wierd gestures for a whole day at work when you knew the big boss was going to be there for two hundred bucks from your friend who is already falling down laughing just thinking about it?

[TBtheG]

I might actaully do that, It sounds like alot of fun.

Would you tell anyone If you got raped while camping by yourself?

[rachel]

I would hope so with all my heart but I would have to say probably not. Because of the deep shame and ripping open of the soul. But I would hope I would.
same question

[TBtheG]

Wanna go camping?.... :lol: :lol: :lol: ..jk

I probably wouldnt either.

same question

[rachel]

well at least then you and I could talk to each other about it. That would be a comfort anyway. I am a terrible camper, trust me :lol:

[WaxDoll]

Depends if I was physically injured and how much. If its emotional pain, I probably wouldn't. Too much shame. It would only make it harder.

Same Question.

[papayahed]

Why would I be camping by myself? But yes I would tell somebody, I would go straight to the police, I wouldn't want it to happen to somebody else if i can stop the person.


You are throwing a dinner party and the main course (a meatloaf) fell on the floor, nobody else saw it happen. Would you pick up the loaf and serve it?

[Virgil]

:lol: Good one. If my floor was clean, like at my mother's house (you can literally eat off the floor there) yes. But alas, my house is a pig pen with a dog walking around and dog hair all over, so no, I could not serve it. I might if possible cut off the part that touched the floor.

Same Q.

[TBtheG]

I would serve it, and cut off the part that hit the floor and straight up tell everyone that it fell on the floor but I cut off the floor loaf, so eat it if you want, I am.

same

[Pendragon]

5 second rule applys here. If it wasn't on the floor for more than five seconds, it's edible, and I'd tell any family or friends who were here and they would agree. Unless it hit the carpet--the carpet traps pet hair. Nobody wants that, I'd toss the piece.

When you hurt someone, how long do you think is a proper time to wait before apologizing?

[blondeatheart]

well obviously try not to hurt them in the first place but pretty much as soon as possible even straight after

would you pash ur best friend of the opposite gender for $100?
