Would You??

[verybaddmom]

okay, so things are slowing down around here lately, so i jacked a game or two from another forum.....

Would You:

sleep with a stranger for $1000.00?

[Ender]

Is the stranger hot? My answer depends on that.

Would you have sex with a clone of yourself?

[verybaddmom]

no. that would just be too weird.

would you....
eat horse or dog if you were in a place that it was common to do so?

[Ender]

Sure

Would you listen to horrible, horrible music for the sake of someone else?

[verybaddmom]

have done...(shania twain)

would you ever streak across a packed stadium on a dare?

[trismegistus]

Only if the "dare" also involved the $1000 you mention in your first hypothetical.

Would you go to jail in defiance of a law you believe unjust? (e.g. the draft)

[verybaddmom]

only if i wasnt responsible for supporting and raising my child (ie: he was moved out and self supporting)

would you shave your head for charity?

[Ender]

Why not? I gave myself a mohawk for someone's amusement last fall.

Would you stand on a street corner with a sign that says "Hugs are free" with your arms out?

[Koa]

no. that would just be too weird.

would you....
eat horse or dog if you were in a place that it was common to do so?

'scuse me, isn't it common to eat horse meat there???

[papayahed]

Sure would, well for how long? My arms might get tired.

Would you rob a bank if you were desperate for money?

[Koa]

Uhm wow... in theory yes, but then I know in reality I'm never able to make those wishes come true even if I have the chance...

Would you forgive your partner if he/she cheated on you? (I mean, going out with someone else etc, not sure the phrase is correct)

[Jay]

Depends on a lot of things. Suppose as dumb as I am I would... but then might also break up with him. Not sure, will worry about that when I cross that bridge ;).

Would you be able to cheat on your boy/girlfriend?

[Koa]

Ah...I don't know, I've always thought I wouldn't be but I sort of wanted to if only I had had the chance... but maybe if it's real love I wouldn't be able.

Would you throw bricks at windows just for fun?
(i'm not good at making questions :eek:)

[Jay]

Geez, is throwing bricks at windows fun? Make it Windows and I'm game ;).

Would you read a book if you had to even though you'd knew it's absolutelly boring or bad?

[verybaddmom]

yes, if i had to, or just to be able to say i have (think: Atlas Shrugged!)

would you every marry someone just to be married, not for love?

[Koa]

no cos i'm against marriage even for love

would you go and visit someone you don't love anymore just because you didnt find anyone who likes you in 1 year of loneliness and searching?
(every link to my own life is absolutely not wanted)
(does this make it a form of yes to the previous question?)

[emily655321]

Would I......huh? Um...I don't think so. I'd be happier just getting a cat. Of course, I've yet to have ONE person who likes me, so maybe once I do it'll kick-start the sense of deprivation when they're gone..

:D If you could finally meet the famous person you idolize, but only if you were naked when you met them, would you do it?

[verybaddmom]

well, i would have to say yes, although i cant decide who it is that i idolize. i just know that if i really wanted to do something, a nakedness requirement wouldnt be enough to stop me.

would you protest for something even if everyone you knew was against that cause?

[emily655321]

Hell yeah. I am a stubborn, self-righteous ***, after all. :p

Would you chain yourself to something (building/tree/etc) in protest?

[papayahed]

I guess so if I felt strongly about the cause.


Would you run for public office?

[trismegistus]

Depends on the office. Any office higher than mayor of a small, sleepy town, definitely not. Anything smaller, sure. Might be fun.

If you could perfect your weakest physical trait at the expense of your strongest character trait, would you do so?

[verybaddmom]

no i dont think so, as physical traits fade with time anyway while character is much easier to maintain while having a bigger impact on your life's successes.

would you give up an organ to save a family member?

[papayahed]

Yes

Would you give up an organ if it was the only way to save the life of a person you didn't like?

[Ender]

If I could get along without it, probably

Would you fly from building to building if you could make webshooters?

[verybaddmom]

absolutely, how much fun would that be?

would you ever date someone you met on the internet?

[Koa]

Yes. Actually, I'v done that already (just to add up to how sad my life is).

Would you choose your studies (like Uni or stuff) bsing only on what's useful, even if you don't like what you'll do?

[verybaddmom]

no. if i were doing that, i would so not be going into teaching (although i guess it may, by some definitions, be useful there is certainly not much of a living to be made there)

would you photocopy your bum if you were alone with the office photocopier?

[emily655321]

Can't say that I've ever had such a desire. No.

Would you make your least favorite animal extinct, if you had the power? (thinking of all the tiny biting bugs, specifically)

[verybaddmom]

bugs? definitely not.
honestly as tempted as i might be to eradicate the worlds snake population, i would be forced to restrain myself, just because i know that i DONT know its total connection to the ecosystem. as icky as they are, they, like all living and non-living things, serve a purpose, no matter how obscure.

would you run your own forum if you had opportunity?

[emily655321]

I've thought about it lately, just for my friends who are never online. But I wouldn't want to run a public website. I don't like being the person in charge of stuff.

Would you make all your own clothes if you had the time and ability?

[Koa]

Oh yes yes yes! I never find clothes I like in shops, and I have a few shirts made by my granny (who used to do that for a living) on my design :D

Would you go to an expedition to the Everest?

[verybaddmom]

not blinkin likely. i hate cold and i really dislike even having to walk up a hill to catch the bus. but thanks for asking.

would you ever live abroad?

[trismegistus]

Without a doubt. I plan on retiring abroad if at all possible.

What is the least amount of money you would require to flash a bus full of tourists? (Full frontal nudity flash, too. No cheating! ;) )

[Ender]

$0. All it takes is a dare really. And a good group of friends.

Would you ever hire someone to come into your house, read your books and make notes in the margins so that you appear well read?

[verybaddmom]

no i dont believe i would. partly because i have read most of my books, and partly because what kind of poser would do that???
yikes

would you ever sell your ...um...products of fertility (ie: eggs or sperm)?

[Ender]

Why not? it's not like I need them to survive.

Would you give something you needed to survive to someone else if they needed it?

[verybaddmom]

that one depends on who it was that needed my 'bits'

would you ever run away with the circus?

[Ender]

Nope.

anywho, would you watch a movie two or three times consecutively, just for kicks?

[emily655321]

Have done. My friends and I went through a serious Rocky Horror phase in Junior High.

Would you try to stop a criminal from committing/fleeing a serious crime if there were no police around?

[verybaddmom]

yes

would you ever wear an outfit to an event and then take it back?

[Miranda]

No

Would you ever lie to a policeman?

[Stanislaw]

Only if they were off duty, and could not haul my butt off to prison.

Would you canabalise someone if you were starving and stuck on the kootney glacier.

[verybaddmom]

i wouldnt have to, they have the beer out there! (that's where they make kokanee you know)

if you found pictures of your boyfriend/girlfriend with an ex of theirs, would you destroy them if you had an opportunity?

[emily655321]

No. Not my property, plus they're someone else's memories.

Would you read someone's diary if you found it and there was no one around?

[evulik]

I would, if it is my boyfriend's diary :D (too nasty?)

[verybaddmom]

you need to ask a "would you" question, evulik, cause otherwise we all just sit here immobilized, not knowing what to do.... ;)

i'll pick up here, just because i can....

would you ever snoop through your boyfriend/girlfriends computer (ie: email, pictures, history, etc?)

(i do for my son's stuff, to make sure that his web browsing is age-appropriate...)

[amuse]

oh :blush: i have, and boy was that ever WRONG, let me tell you! whew! he was not happy with me for months. at least i was open about it. smart though for you to do that.

would you harbor a grudge against someone if you knew one of you had only 48 hours left to live?

[verybaddmom]

no way jose...i try not to harbor grudges as it is (ex-husband excluded) and could never maintain one if i knew that there would be no time later to rectify it.

would you pole dance in public?

[emily655321]

Which drugs would be involved, and in what quantity?

If you had no one depending on you for daily care, would you ever pack a bag and just leave without knowing where or for how long?

[Jay]

You bet... IF I had money... there's several friends out there I'd so love to visit and meet in person.

Would you go to bed if you had to wake up the next day early but you didn't feel like sleeping though you'd knew you'd be tired as hell tomorrow? (no grammar or stylistic features in my current state of mind :D)

[Kiwi Shelf]

I would attempt to, but I probably would end up staying awake anyways.

Sorry, been away and don't have a lot of back track time, so sorry if my question has been asked. Uh, would you live on another planet if you had the chance?

[emily655321]

No. Again, the lack of puffins. Unless it was a planet inhabited by giant talking puffins...

http://tinypic.com/v0pvhttp://tinypic.com/v0pvhttp://tinypic.com/v0pvhttp://tinypic.com/v0pv

Would you do an advertisement for a product you absolutely hated if someone paid you a lot?

[Koa]

No... I hate adverst, even for stuff I like. I also refuse to buy/wear tshirts that have the label written evidently, cos I don't see why I should do unpaid advert...

Would you try and give up on your internet addiction by trying not to even get near a pc for a few weeks? (I mean, not cos your busy or away, just to try your willpower)

[Kiwi Shelf]

I stayed away from my computer for a full week, and didn't really miss it. I only come on here to do specific things and then off I go.

Would you like a new computer?

[Koa]

No, I dont give a damn about being up to date...the important thing is that I can connect to the internet!!!
(Kiwi, then the previous question didn't really apply to you cos it means you're not addicted! Lucky thing... I want a life :()

Would you tell someone to f*ck off (maybe in other words ;)) cos you can't stand him/her, but they did really nothing bad to you, just they irritate you with their own existance... ?

[Kiwi Shelf]

I've done that before, and it did not make me very popular. Generally I wait for a really good reason, and then tell them right where to go.
(I use to be addicted to computers, Koa, but they lost interest to me...)

Would you climb a mountain?

[amuse]

Would you go to bed if you had to wake up the next day early but you didn't feel like sleeping though you'd knew you'd be tired as hell tomorrow? (no grammar or stylistic features in my current state of mind :D)
that was me this morning - not sleepy until 01:00 but had to wake up at 5:50. nearly cried when i got a 2:30 phone call, was sure i was going to expire today from exhaustion. so, yeah i considered not going to sleep, but instead never woke up, and just went back to bed asap.

re: mntns: oh YEAH!

would you do those scary free-fall diving jumps from a cliff like they do in acapulco? http://www.mlmplayers.com/tips/divers/7.htm

[amuse]

btw, those puffins are the Cutest!!! where's a soft, fluffy emoticon? :D

[hye young]

O_o a fine posture! but did he alive? i wouldn't do it unless i have a good reason to leave this world.

would you marry a billionaire without love?

[Kiwi Shelf]

Not a chance, I would be so bored!

Would you marry someone knowing they had very little of anything?

[emily655321]

Of.course...Well,.I.hope.to.marry.an.artist.or.a.m usician.or.a.writer,.so.I.sort.of
expect.it...:D
Actually,.I'd.be.leery.of.anyone.who.had.a.lot.of. anything,.because.I'd
be.suspicious.of.their.priorities.in.life.

Would.you.go.out.with.someone.really,.really.famou s.if.you.liked.them.and
they.asked.you?

[Ender]

Definately. You only live once.

Would you live more than once if you could?

[emily655321]

Hell no.

Would you stop living right now if an angel or something appeared to you and said, "This is your one chance to go to heaven/nirvana"?

[Ender]

Hell yea.

Would you be crushed if an angel or something appeared to you and said, "There is no afterlife, only this life, which you will repeat in exactly the same manner over and over until the end of time"?

[verybaddmom]

if i were not able to keep the knowledge that i have accumulated? yes. but if i know then all i know now, no.

would you fly across the country to meet someone you met on the internet? (a romantic somebody)

[Kiwi Shelf]

That's a tough question because my mother did that...

Would you like to get married?

[Max Whittaker]

I would love to marry someday.

Would you choose immortality and eternal youth dispite the consequence of watching generation after generation of friends and loved ones die?

[verybaddmom]

Is that a proposal? ;)

actually yes, i would, very much so. Im at the point now that im just waiting for him to ask me (im too old fashioned, apparently, to ask him). its all very amusing, because i have sworn since the day my divorce was final (apr. 1 1994...happy april fool's day!!) that i would NEVER get married again...government*mutter*piece of paper*mutter*silly social institution*mutter mutter*...
now i get all smarmy whenever there is a wedding or proposal on movies and such. silly women.

would you ever propose to a guy (if you are female)?
would you accept if a woman proposed to you (if you are male)?

[Kiwi Shelf]

I actually would like to be the one that proposes, I don't go for old-fashioned stuff.

Would get married outside the norm? (not an old-fashioned wedding)

[evulik]

actually I was thinking about it several times, but I love my mum and she would not survive it, so I guess no :mad:

would you fall in love with stranger you barely spoke to, never seen but receiving an email from him/her makes your heart beat faster? ;)

[verybaddmom]

well, i have to say yes, as that is precisely what i have done. i met my boyfriend on the internet (dont knock it till you've tried it!) and that's precisely how it happened.
from the first email i showed all symptoms of goofyness....heart racing, butterflies etc.

would you ever follow through on such a thing?

[emily655321]

Even if I thought I liked him, I wouldn't let onto it until I'd met him, first several times in a group setting, then alone just as friends, then I'd see where it went from there. -- In other words, the same way I'd do it in real life. I still don't consider myself to "know" a person until I've met them in the flesh.

Would you agree to be a guinea pig for a new kind of medicine, before they knew what the side affects were?

[verybaddmom]

not a chance....ever read/seen firestarter? lol

would you ever unknowingly put drugs in a friend's food/drink?
ya know, for giggles?
(in high school i had a "friend" put magic mushrooms in an omelette we were making for cooking class.....omg, not a nice experience!)

[Koa]

No, I dont find it particularly funny. Though my friends once put spices in my piece of cake, I realised immediately but apparently they found it funny... If it hadnt been my best friends I might have felt quite bad for being made fun of.

(on an older topic... I met my first, only, screwed, useless, painful, wishiicouldforgetit love on the internet, and ran away on the other side of Europe to meet him... now that I think about it it was crazy, he might have been a serial killer for all I knew... But I was lucky in that ;) Though one of the reasons why the story was so hard and screwed was that I never could accept that we had met that way, it's just a different approach but most people judge it very badly so I felt it was crap and only my best friends knew about it, even now when i talk about it I avoid telling how we 'met', I even lie if I'm asked (of course people wonder how I found and English boy...)... Maybe if I had accepted that some things would have been better, but anyway it had many other flaws, including distance that at first didnt matter much but after a couple of years became unbearable... Btw I'm seeing him again next week just for the sake of doing something for the holidays, but I don' t really feel like...stupid me. Oops sorry, got carried away on the telling-the-story-of-my-life mood... :blush: :blush: :blush:)

Would you participate to a 'game' where you contact people (with the implicit aim of dating) via sms for example? (I mean there's a list of people and you just send a message to someone randomly, without knowing them before... I'm so desperate that for a sec I even thought of doing that, but then I'd be even more ashamed than knowing guys in the net :D)

[Kiwi Shelf]

Nope, you never know the creeps you could run into doing that...

Would you... ummm... change anything major of your appearance?

[Koa]

Good question... I'm quite against changing thing going against nature, but I'd change pretty much everything on me... I mean I wouldnt do it really I think, but if I had a magic wand... Also I should change it by just wearing different stuff or having different styles maybe...
(clear answer uh? ;))

If you were a wannabe famous singer, would you go to those crap tv shows where they pretend to train you at that then you have competitions etc (not sure how it really works), just to reach fame even if it's tv-trash? (I'm sure you have those tv shows everywhere in the world too?)

[nome1486]

No, even if I had a fabulous singing voice and a good chance of a career I would rather earn my fame in some other way, because most people don't think of reality-tv celebrities as legitimate stars.

Would you get a tattoo on your face (and what would it be?)

[verybaddmom]

i would (and might yet) it would be a small bumble bee right near, but not on, my temple.

would you shave your head to ink there?

[nome1486]

no, I might shave my head in wild circumstances (such as for an exorbitant amount of money or something), but not to tattoo.

would you accept a superpower if it meant you would never have a normal life again?

[verybaddmom]

i dont think i would (although members here already know what i think of the word "normal") but i just couldnt give up my daily life with my family unit and my small indulgent pleasures to fly around trying to do good deeds. i'll stick to putting money in other people's parking meters.

would you take a trip to the moon, if they offered vacation packages there?

*edited for spelling. it is early in the am here*

[Max Whittaker]

Yes. The moon is definitely on my list of future vacations.

Would you choose immortality and eternal youth dispite the consequence of watching generation after generation of friends and loved ones die?

[emily655321]

No way, José. One life is more than enough for me, nevermind the aforementioned consequences.

Would you be confident enough in your ability to tattoo or pierce someone else's body? (Upon request, of course. ;))

[Max Whittaker]

No. I might give the guy some icky disease.

Would you dye your hair an unnatural color such as blue, just for fun?

[Kiwi Shelf]

Haha, well, yes. My hair was blue for a while not too long ago.

Would you like a tattoo

[evulik]

oh yeeees.. I was thinking about it several times... but then I have got piercing instead. This can be removed.

would you shave your head completely and visit your ex? :D (well this just crossed my mind, uff, such thoughts)

[Isagel]

Well- I have had my head shaved , and I have paid visit to my ex - but not at the same time. Usually my "exes" (now it sound like there was a multitude of them :-) ) and me stay friends. So no, probably not.

Would you stop drinking coffee if it made your nose turn blue?

[Kiwi Shelf]

I don't drink coffee, so no worries

would you skydive?

[Jay]

I don't think so.

Would you like to spend some time living in let's say... jura? With the BIG dinosaurs?

[Kiwi Shelf]

As long as they don't eat or step on me :)

Would you like to travel to the future?

[nome1486]

yes, as long as I could forget what I saw if I wanted too!

Would you like to travel to the past?

[verybaddmom]

only if i could fix some mistakes and not screw up my present too much (i am one of those sick and disgusting happy people)

would you give up love for money?

[Ender]

True love? Not even death can stop true love ;)

Would you do something stupid and life-threatening on a dare?

[Kiwi Shelf]

I probably already have... :banana:

Would you streak? (for those that English is not their first language, streak means to run across a public place naked. *Warning, not a dictionary definition.* :) )

[verybaddmom]

am i in a place where i dont know ANYBODY??? then i probably would, just for the thrill (please dont visualize this...no ones mind can take that abuse)

would you ever compete in a wet T-shirt contest?
(wet shorts?)

[Kiwi Shelf]

:lol: , no!
I won't even wear shorts, but I have worked my way to capris. As for t-shirts and water, if you can't see anything maybe, but if you can see everything I am not sure. Maybe for my boyfriend?

Would you ever strip in public?

[Jay]

Hell no hehe. Public place would pretty quickly get un-public-ed :D.

Would you like to be there when VBM's about to ... what was the odd word hehe... streak lol? Think watching the people's reactions might be amusing ;).

[verybaddmom]

i would definitely NOT want to be there, although that might be a bit difficult.
and if you like i could describe the reactions for you: imagine that you are watching one of those movies where a natural disaster is headed straight for a crowd of people (think: tornado) and how everyone runs away screaming, trying to save them selves...that's what it would be like!

would you look inside a room if you were forbidden to do so?

[Kiwi Shelf]

It's a possibility

Would you have an affair?

[verybaddmom]

goodness NO!!! absolutely not. and not because of any moral considerations, although they exist. i am just much too happy in my relationship to jeopardize it that way, and i know that even when i am not blissfully happy with him i will still want to work on it rather than take that road.

would you ever swing?

[Kiwi Shelf]

I love to swing, it is my favourite thing to do at the playground, and then jump off when I am really high! :banana:
haha, now, to answer what you are more than likely asking, no.

Do you ever swing? (like on a swing set?)

[emily655321]

LOL! This thread has gotten so bawdy in my absence. :D If I'm with my friends and we happen upon a playground, always. (I'm the crazy silly one around my friends, but when I'm alone I'm very quiet and reserved.)

If you only had a day left to live, would you base-jump/skydive/bungee jump?

[verybaddmom]

no, if i had one day left to live, i would spend it telling my son all i think he needs to know, telling family and friends how much i love them, then having "quality time" with my loved ONE.

would you ever go on that ride they have at carnivals that slingshots you into the air?

[Kiwi Shelf]

I've never seen it, so I would have to before making that choice

Would you climb a tree?

[verybaddmom]

yes of course i would (did) provided i was careful not to hurt the tree

would you ever cliff jump into a river or lake?

[Kiwi Shelf]

haha, no, I have this thing with water, so I generally don't do all that much when near it. I just don't feel comfortable

Would you white water raft?

[verybaddmom]

in a heartbeat! would love to

would you go skinny dipping in a public place in the dark?

[Kiwi Shelf]

Maybe, it would depend on how public and who I was with

Would you act in a movie if you had the chance?

[Isagel]

Done. I got to carry a big gun and look mean. Then I died. Had to lie face down in a pool of fake blood on a cold concrete floor, in the background of an action scene...For almost the whole day, while they shoot the scene over, and over, and over. That was my minute of fame. It did not feel like I thought it would. Never been so bored in my life. But I might do it again. If I do not have to play corpse.

Would you study something just because you like to do it, not because you will have any use for it?

[ravana]

I would. I often do it.

Would you kill the one if you found him/her stirring his/her nose at your presence?
(If "stirring" is right for this meaning)

[verybaddmom]

im afraid i dont understand your meaning ravana? at all.... stirring a nose? maybe a description would help me...

[Jay]

Picking one's nose?? Just guessing...

[evulik]

you mean fingers in the nose trying to dig the secrecy it is hiding? :D

[nome1486]

Well, I guess I would never kill anyone (hopefully not, anyway), so no.

(by the way Isagel, what was the name of the movie you were in?)

Would you change something bad in the past without knowing all the effects this would have on the present?

[Kiwi Shelf]

lol, no, all I would do is screw up my life even more.

Would you do the long distance relationship thing or move to the place with the person?

[amuse]

hehe i've done both. so, yes.

would you model (nude) for an art class?

[Kiwi Shelf]

No

Would you like to paint?

[evulik]

I love it, and I would like to know how to paint...

would you sunbathe one day before exams? ;)

[faith]

No I never sunbath anyway cos I hate it! It makes no differance were there exams or not. Well, but I do recomend taking it easy the day befor exams and ex sunbath, but Im never capabel of taking it easy the day before.

Would you take part in a reality show if you got the chance to? What kind?

[evulik]

well I loved Jerry Springer (if that is the name) show. I was watching it while living in Netherland (we do not have it over here) and I loved it. but I would not do it, actually I was always scared sth like that would happen to me and I would be called there... it was fun to watch but disaster to be part of... I would not survive it... :D

would you walk naked round New York if that can help you to support your ideals?

[peapod]

Hello everyone! My name is peapod and this looks like a great place. I hope I can contribute something. I usually start my day with the following song.

Immanuel Kant was a real pissant
who was very rarely stable.
Heidegger, Heidegger was a boozy beggar
who could think you under the table.
David Hume could out consume
Wilhelm Friedrich Hegel,
And Wittgenstein was a beery swine
who was just as sloshed as Schlegel.

There's nothing Nietzsche couldn't teach ya
'bout the raisin' of the wrist.
Socrates himself was permanently pissed.

John Stuart Mill, of his own free will,
after half a pint of shandy was particularly ill.
Plato, they say, could stick it away,
'alf a crate of whiskey every day!
Aristotle, Aristotle was a bugger for the bottle,
and Hobbes was fond of his Dram.
And Rene Descartes was a drunken fart:
"I drink, therefore I am."

Yes, Socrates himself is particularly missed;
A lovely little thinker, but a bugger when he's pissed

No I would not walk around new york naked to support my ideals, I would not even walk around my house to support them. Maybe I don't have any? Thats a ponder.

Would you fake your own death if you could come back and see what it would be like without you?

[imthefoolonthehill]

if I had to sing that song to myself every morning... i wouldnt fake my own death... i would make it a reality... sheesh.

[peapod]

No sense of ha ha is a good reason for doing one's self in. Where is your question?

[nome1486]

I wouldn't fake my own death, it would be too cruel. Would you pull a stunt like that, one that could hurt your loved ones, if you would be paid $1 million (like on that show My Big Fat Fiance or whatever it was)?

[poehee99]

no I wouldn't. We had a show like that in holland. It was called masterplan. At the start of the show three people could win 1 million guilders (about 500.000 dollars). at the beginning of the show they signed a contract and after that they had no saying in their own life and had to listen and do everything the "master"said for 3 months. During the show they staged someone's death to see the reaction of his family. after this episode was on there was such a row about this in holland that the show got cancelled. i think rightly so, how far can you go with television. but for my own question: If you could live in the future for one day (say in 2099) but at the end of the day you would die, would you do it?

[Taliesin]

Certainly not. Earth in the year 2099 could be a horrible dystopia. I would not sell my life for a glance in the future, that could be horrible.

Would you false testimony to save a person who you love? Or just a friend?

[poehee99]

I guess I probably would. depends on the situation really, but your best friends are worth going to jail for.

If, on election day, you had to choose between two people who are both equally unfit to govern your country, would you stil vote and, if yes, why?

[papayahed]

Yes I would vote. I would either pick the lesser of two evils or I would ruin the ballot by voting for both. I always vote, so many people can't do it. Plus it's like somebody asking my opinion I never pass up the opportunity.

If you could go back and change one thing about your life, would you?

[Koa]

If, on election day, you had to choose between two people who are both equally unfit to govern your country, would you stil vote and, if yes, why?

:eek: isn't this exactly what voting is about??? choosing the smallest evil?

Ok I asked a question, might as well answer to the previous one... I'm not sure I'd change anything cos there's not a single thing I think would have been better...I mean, I either change everything or keep it like it is. Or, on second thoughts, maybe I'd change my teenage years and I'd go out and do like other teenagers do instead of withdrawing from social life...

Edit: I realised this is not the question games but the would you game so my question doesn't really work...

Would you refuse to buy one thing because it's advertised by a famous person you hate? (I did once, there was this magazine with stuff about my fav. band but I hated the dj who advertised it so I didnt buy it....I'm still regretting it...:D)

[verybaddmom]

i would be sorely tempted but probably wouldnt, just because i would be afraid of how it would change how and where i am now. i am truly happy in my situation (if it werent for financial difficulties of course) but i think if i had changed something then, i wouldnt be who i am now, which has led to the situation im in.

would you ever pierce your privates?

[Koa]

I think you skipped my question mum... :(

No, I'd never pierce anywhere except my ears.

Would you kill yourself cos you can't stand the hot weather (or the cold weather, if you're one of those who love sweating to death)?
(silly question but that's how I feel now :D)

[Kiwi Shelf]

Um, no, that is just a silly reason to die.

Would you move to change climates?

[Koa]

Yes. Definitely. Been planning to do that for ages. I once dreamed of move every summer to Argentina so to get the winter there... And I've just spent 3 weeks in England and one of the purposes of that was avoiding the dreadful heat... But it's not over yet :(

As my mind is too lazy to find a new question (see afew posts above), I'll re-post the unanswered stupid one:

Would you refuse to buy one thing because it's advertised by a famous person you hate?

[verybaddmom]

awww....sorry koa. you are totally right.
*mental note: refresh refresh refresh*

[Koa]

no prob... i have complexes of feeling ignored sometimes ;)

[Pickles]

Would you refuse to buy one thing because it's advertised by a famous person you hate?

Yes, I hate those 'Old Navy' commercials.


Would you do porn if someone you were very attracted to asked you, and
you could be in disguise? ( I'll throw in the money too.)

[poehee99]

and suddenly they all stopped replying. I guess it depends. If it would be for personal use I would but if it's not solely for personal use I would not.

If you could be god (or any other higher being you believe in) for a day, what would be the first thing you changed?

[Taliesin]

I would remove a good deal of hatred.

Now, if you were given a choice - you would write heartbreakingly beautiful and sad poetry and your name would be remebered forever, but you wouldn't live to old age and you would go insane and paranoid in the end of your life and destroy your creation and think you were the king of Poland, would you accept the choice?

[poehee99]

yes, definitely. there's a jiddisch saying: Even one hour in paradise is worth the effort.

if you had to choose between releasing a book you really think is your best work, or a book of which you know it will bring you fame and fortune forever, which would you choose?

[verybaddmom]

definitely best work, although ideally your best work would be the one that would bring fortune (i dont aspire to be wealthy, but i would like to be able to pay my bills and buy lots of plants)

would you ever give up civilization to squat on a piece of wilderness property?

[Pickles]

Sure, but I don't think I'd stay forever.
Just long enough to get my fill of quiet.


Would you give up your lotto winnings to help the poor?

How about half?

[Taliesin]

The whole - I don't think so (unless the poor person of whom we are speaking about is me ;) )
The half - it depends. If the rest of it is big enough that I could live comfortably or be happy with it, then sure.
But I would give a share of it, yes (unless it is like 10.00)

Would you accept a chance if you were offered that you could time-travel, but would arrive in the body of a seven-year-old you in the time and place where you were being at when you were seven? You would lose about one quarter of what you know due to frictions and stuff.

[poehee99]

no, there's a song in holland called "zo mooi wordt het nooit meer" by a dutch singer called harrie Jekkers. The song is about the question what you would do if, after your death, god would ask you whether you wanted to live your life again. and at the end of the song he sings that he wouldn't do that because it wouldn't be as beautiful as the first time it happened. i think he's right about that.

if you found the cure for aids, would you give it freely to the third world countries or would you charge them for it?

[Kiwi Shelf]

Give it freely

Do you trust third world travelling?

[Nemerov]

What the hell? Off course I do.

Would you be supportive if your dad wanted to become a woman?

[Piramni]

Yes, it's his body and my mother and father have slept in seperate rooms for 20+ years now anyway.

Would you make everyone the same race if you had the power to do so?

[verybaddmom]

no no and no...variety is the spice of life. what would we learn about accepting differences and compassion and fairness and justice if we were all the same?

would you ever want to NOT share a bed with your partner in a marriage?

[Piramni]

I can't imagine not waking up next to my husbands smile, ever.

Would you move your child out of a culture filled neighborhood to a rich one to give them a better education?

[verybaddmom]

i dont think so, i think the education one would get in a culturally diverse area may be a more valuable one. in fact i moved from a wealthy (ish) area (that i could barely afford) to a more culturally diverse city (that i can also barely afford) and find that my son is enjoying it far more. i think i would rather his education encompass both life matters AND academics.

would you ever bungee jump?

[Nemerov]

yes

Choose, one of these will be destroyed. What's more important:

the life of one 40 year old man
the Mona Lisa

[Piramni]

The life of a 40 year old man. The value of human life is more precious than any material item.


Would you dance in the rain if you knew no one was watching?

[verybaddmom]

i would dance in the rain even if i KNEW someone was watching...

are you afraid of being laughed at?

[Taliesin]

Hmm, it is both yes and no. I am not panically fobic of it and I sometimes act in a way that may cause that people would laugh at me, but I do not like it much so sometimes I do not take the risk.


If offered a choice, would you became immortal? So that you could never die. You wouldn't age either.

[poehee99]

no, because then you would outlive everyone and I couldn't deal with that. the beauty of life is that it has an end. I don't mean that to sound as if i'm very depressed. what i mean is that the beauty of some things is that it is dangerous. for instance, the thrill you get when bungyjumping or skydiving, is because of the danger. if you couldn't die there would be no thrill in that, would it.

If you were talking of immortality of the human race as a whole, i wouldn't like that either because i believe that society would be much worse with more wars and fighting. and other problems like shortage of food and over population.

if you had proof of extra terrestial life would you make it public with the risk of being mocked?

[Pickles]

Yes, being mocked doesn't scare me.
Heh, I have redirected it and used it to my advantage more than once.
I'm a debate team nightmare.
As far as ET's go, I think they never visit because humans are so sexually aventurous. They are afraid of date rape. ( my view only.)

This question is for those who aren't in Medical school.
If you came into a pile of money, would you quit everything and go to medical school
then dedicate the rest of your life in an impoverished counrty healing people for free?
I sometimes think I would, and sometimes think I wouldn't.

[Koa]

actually no, i'd never go to medical school because there's nothing (not even maths!!!) that bores me more than medecine/biology... i also find it impossible to understand - luckily there are people that are passionate for that otherwise there'd be no doctors in the world which might be a problem...

would you like to be enormously famous, or would you prefer to have a normally private life?

[poehee99]

I really don't think that the two are opposites. I think it is possible to be enormously famous and still lead a normal private life, eg. Bono. however, if i had to choose between the two it would be a normal private life.

Would you be willing to die for your country, even if you didn't agree with what they were fighting for?

[Nemerov]

No!!!

Would you like to be young forever?

[Piramni]

No. Youth has it's value, but I want to grow older and retire so I can have the time to read, and learn to knit and all those things.


Would you steal from your company if you knew no one would ever find out?

[amuse]

GROSS!
oh, i mean no.

would you sacrifice your safety to run into a burning building for a loved one?

[poehee99]

I hope I would.

would you move to a different continent and leave all your family and friends, work and hobbies behind to stay with someone you've only known for a few months but are really crazy about

[verybaddmom]

yes, if i KNEW...ya know?

would you tell your employer if you knew someone was stealing from them (like a co-worker)

[Taliesin]

I don't know. It depends how big are the sums and about the thief too. But I probably would.

If yu were offered an option, where you could end either:
*all wars
*famine
*all diseases
*poverty
*all ecological problems (deforestation, acid rains et cetera)
*something else
BUT, it has a price. You and all of your family would die instantly.

Would you accept, and if you would, which problem would you end?

[Monica]

Well my dying wouldn't really be a problem but I'd have to think about my family. I know it's egoistic to care about your relatives when you could save the world but still I think I wouldn't do it. I hope I would, I don't know. If I did it I'd like to finish all wars so that everyone could live in peace, because everyone deserves it.

Would you like to live on another planet?

[amuse]

oh sure. but not until i'm done with this one. and i would like a travelogue first, please. :)

would you convert to another religion to marry someone you love?

[FCUKGOD]

Certainly not. There's no way I'd get married!

Would you sell your soul to the devil if you knew it would allevaite the suffering of the world?

[verybaddmom]

well that presupposes the existence of the devil which i dont buy.

would you change your username if it would keep alot of other users from being offended?

[poehee99]

There is a bit of a contradiction in selling your soul to the devil to do good, isn't there?

and to answer vbm's question I would, because if you can prevent offending others you should.

If you had to choose between giving up freedom of speech or freedom of religion wwhich one would you choose (if you could actually give up the one without the other).

[atiguhya padma]

poehee99:

No there isn't. You assume that good and evil are inextricably polarised. They are not. When people commit the most monstrous crimes, they are assumed by large numbers of the general populace to be inherently evil, and without any redeeming qualities. This is obviously wrong. Even Stalin or Hitler had more human traits than the evil monsters they are portrayed to be.

Neither speech nor religion seem particularly free to me. There are legal restrictions on what you can say, and much religious belief is a result of cultural conditioning. But if the question is rephrased as "what would you prefer to give up the idea of free speech or the idea of freedom of religious belief", then I think it is dependent on whether freedom of religious belief means compulsory religious belief or no religious belief. In the case of the former, I would rather (marginally) give up free speech to preserve my intellectual integrity. In the case of the latter, I would give up freedom of religious belief any day.

The Oxford theologian Keith Ward has recently written a book in which he claims the world is now ready for religious convergence. Can the world ever unite in its religious belief? After all, don't most religions believe in their own absolute truths, which differ from religion to religion?

[verybaddmom]

AP? where is your "would you".
im confused....

[atiguhya padma]

Actually, I'm the one whose confused. Didn't quite understand this thread. So anyway, here's my would you. Would you kill a dictator, if it definitely meant saving numerous lives?

[Isagel]

I probably would not be able to, I strongly dislike violence asa solution to anything.
Humans are strange creatures - I might be able to kill if the same dictator was trying to kill just one person right here before me. I would not even have to be numerous lives - just one, here. But planning for an execution I probably just could not do.

Would you be a dictator if you thought that that was the only way for your country to live in peace?

[atiguhya padma]

No. Not unless I knew that was the only way for my country to live in peace. But quite honestly, I'm not a great fan of nation-states and the nationalism / patriotism that goes with it. I see no reason to align myself with a concept that I am associated with merely out of the accident of birth. Of course, I have many individuals to thank for who and what I am, but that is a very different matter to becoming nationalistic etc. In my book, individuals are always more important than groups, people are more significant than states.

Someone you love has murdered someone. Would you inform the police if you knew? or would you protect them from prosecution? Lets say you know they would never do it again.

[Kiwi Shelf]

I think it would depend on the circumstances... that is a tough call..

Would you marry for money?

[Pickles]

I think it would depend on the circumstances... that is a tough call..

Would you marry for money?

No, and I know this first hand.

Would you say that something tasted good, so's not to
offend the person who cooked it?
Even if you were lying throught your teeth?

[Taliesin]

Been there, done that. Several times.

If offered a choice, would you rather live to 60 and die peacefully in your sleep or to 68 and die painfully but quite quickly or to 75 and die a horribly painful death?

[Piramni]

I would live to 60 and die peacefully. It would be easier on my family that way, and then I can be assured that I had some say in what would happen to my remains (in hope that there were organs that could be used to save others, and no one had to spend more thatn 10k on a funeral for me.)

Would you tell an acquaintance that they had a booger hanging from their nose, or let them walk away in that predicament?

[Scheherazade]

I would tell them... Especially if I don't like them much.

Would you revive old game threads to have more games to play? :D

[Jay]

I could :p

Would you like to play? :D

[Isagel]

You know I would.

Would you choose truth or dare?

[Scheherazade]

Truth.

Would you exaggerate your skills/abilities/knowledge in your CV/resume?

[Koa]

I probably would...a bit...if the lie is not blatant like saying I'm a genius in maths when I can't do the simplest sum without a calculator...

Would you eat something you really dislike just to please someone, eg you're a guest at someone's?

[mono]

I have too many times, but not if it contains meat. :eek:

Would you sleep in a house deemed haunted?

[Jay]

Yeah, I have, lol. Nothing happened whatsoever... if so, I slept through it :p

Would you like to timetravel?

[imthefoolonthehill]

yeah. Who wouldn't?

Would you like to die in a blazing inferno pf pain?

*expects same answer*

[mono]

Though I do not consider myself a Hedonist, it does not sound particularly appealing.
(I hope you feel much, much better soon, fool. Small amounts of caffeine with low sugar have shown good results in getting rid of migraines :))

Would you make yourself blunt and straight-forward in avoiding someone who annoys you, or "grin and bear it," so to speak? :p

[Miss Darcy]

Grin and bear it. I can never bring myself to hurt someone's feelings if it can be avoided.

Would you skydive?

[Helga]

will do just that next month...can't wait!! :D

would you sit in a 'kiss for a dollar' booth for charity?

[mono]

No - too shy. I would try to find charity in different ways. :lol:

Same question.

[Bianca Fransen]

Ehm.. noop. Bad breath, I'm afraid. Would be afraid that I would have to give people money to kiss me ;) Would also have to find other ways for charity.

Would you apply for a job you really want and would get if you know you're colleague wants and needs it more than you do?

[Rachy]

Not if they needed it more than me!

Same question!

[kilted exile]

It would depend on two things: 1) Am I happy at my current job & 2) Do I like my co-worker.

Would you rob a bank if you knew you would never be caught?

[Nightshade]

No I dont think so
a) because it would be cheating and get rid of the nice justified feeling you get when you are paid and
b) It would take the fun out of it, why rob if there is no risk involved??

Would you consider space travel??

[Helga]

YES COUNT ME IN..... I wanna meet some Klingons and Andorians and most of all Vulcans....

would you date a gorgeous person with no brain?

[imthefoolonthehill]

well d***ed if i'm not trying to.

and d***ed if i don't feel terrible about it.

and d***ed if i tell myself every day i shouldn't even try.

and d***ed if i didn't call her ten minutes ago

and d***ed if i didn't get an answering machine again

and d***ed if i wasn't half relieved half dissapointed.

and d***ed if i do

and d***ed if i don't.


would you date someone you knew was going to die in two years?

[shortysweetp]

yes but thats 2 years away

would you bungee jump?

[Miss Darcy]

No. *sheepish grin*

Would you dress up in period style as a member of the opposite sex for fun, at a party where you knew a lot of people (and perhaps didn't want to be recognised :D)? *even sheepier grin*

[Bianca Fransen]

*thinking hard* No, because I am a perfectionist.. and I would be afraid that my voice gives me away.. Though I might be able to play a boy. Hmm. Difficult. If I didn't want to recognized I would probably try to disguise my face with a veile or lots of make-up..

Would you adopt a child?

[imthefoolonthehill]

I'd rather adopt, I wouldn't wish my genes on anyone.

There's enough kids in the world without parents... I wouldn't adopt unless I was married, though.


would you date someone who barely spoke your language?

[Koa]

I've never dated/been slightly liked by anyone whose native language was the same as mine (oh ok except once), so I guess I would again... unless you mean that we have no languages in common, then I might not... I get hugely bored if I cant talk. (there was a guy in Hungary who once seemed to be trying to ask me out but his English was terrible and my Hungarian even worse...so I just avoided him). But if the guy is interesting and we can somehow communicate, then I might try anyway....(thinking of a guy I had some sort of conversations with even if the situation was the same as the abovementioned one).



Would you learn Chinese?

[mono]

Sure, but I do not think I would choose it as my first preference for another language.

Do you think you would respond well to an emergency situation (i.e. an accident or someone dying)?

[CheshireCat87]

thats not a would you question thats a do you question and i will not answer it instead it will skip it so there. that right i went there. out o my face i do wha i wan

and the question is........................

would you kill some one because he/she/the goat ate the last peice of turtle pie? (for those of you who do not know what turtle pie is u r missing out (it is icecream pie made with chocolate, carmel, and pecans much like the turtles choclates that most people only see around festivus time (festivus is a holiday invented by george's father for the sake of reason i will now say christmas or winter holidays)))

[amuse]

yes, mono; no, Cheshire Cat 87.

would you tell a lie (white or black (little or big)) to make someone feel better about her/himself?

[CheshireCat87]

yes i would...... i think you r cool...... is i did

would ever tell some one the truth if it would make them feel worse about themself

[Jay]

depends on a few things but I guess so

would you start being not really overly nice to others right after signing up on a forum?

[CheshireCat87]

probably im not an overly nice not-in-person person but i am a fairly nice in-person person you know

would you kill someone you didn't know to save someone you did know's life????? or would you buy a book for the soul purpose to read it on the toilet and then return it to the book store knowing that the person who would purchase it would never know that that book had been in a bathroom and covered in fecal particals?

[amuse]

oh help! i never want to buy a book again! thank goodness for this forum! :D :( :D :(

*passes answer duty to next person :nod:

[chmpman]

No, but I don't really read on the toilet often, or really at all. As for the first question I really doubt it, although it might depend on my involvement with the person, and the ages and lifestyle pattern of each of them.

Would you be honest breaking up with someone if you found them completely shallow and devoid of a personality? (honest in the nicest way possible)

[Koa]

I probably would. And probably not in the nicest way... I can be a real monster... :blush:

Would you go to a concert of a band you really dislike but your best friend likes and take you there?

[mono]

I have too many times before, and still had a fun time, such as when my father won tickets to see Neil Diamond - I cannot call myself a fan, but I can say that he put on a good show. :D

Though my previous question did partially consist of a "would you" worded differently, for the purposes of certain others, I will phrase it differently, which may, in turn, sound confusing:
Would you, do you think, respond well to an emergency situation (i.e. an accident or someone dying)?

[shortysweetp]

I think I do but i'm not sure if it were someone close like my hubby or daughter.

would you purposely be mean to someone that annoys you, so that they will leave you alone?

[Koa]

I really think I would... I've probably done it before. I'm not a fan of being good at any cost.

Would you move to another country? (not for reasons like a partner or a friend being there...just out of nothing)

[shortysweetp]

yes i would. i think i would like the change

would you ever move for love?

[Koa]

I'd move for any reason... but I wouldnt if I wasnt convinced of my love and had things I prefer to finish here (cos that's what I've done, I preferred to finish Uni before moving and anyway the thing didnt last that long and now I think that if I had been in love I would have left anyway)

Would you play a joke to someone like substituting their drink for another similar-looking one?

[Bianca Fransen]

Noop, I must admit I am boring in that way.. but then: I do not like it really when people play a practicle joke on me.. and I always picture myself in their shoes. That takes the fun out of it.

Would you kiss someone just for the experience?

[Koa]

(LOL Bianca I feel exactly the same about jokes!)

I definitely would cos my life has been so poor of kisses that I badly need some more experience. And I dont believe in doing things for love. But then at the practical moment I'd probably have big troubles as I'm too shy to even get near someone if I dont feel totally at ease.

Would you go to a club alone if they had a night with your favourite music but noone wants to come with you?

[mono]

I have a few times in the past, so why not again? No one I knew liked Ben Folds, for example, and I really wanted to see him; so I went alone, and never regretted it - a very good show!

Would you give an impromptu speech about a subject you know well to an audience of roughly 2,500 people?

[Nightshade]

Yes and no
I wouldnt get up and give a speech as such but if I thught people had the wrong idea I would get up and try and fix it ;) but I would never plan to give a speech to that many people!!

Would you like to be someone else for a day??

[mono]

Sure, but only for a day. If you ask "who?" I have no idea.

Same question (a good one).

[Koa]

Well I've often wished to be someone else...not only for a day. Someone else in general, just not me, with another kind of life, possibly an ordinary life... Or someone whose brain is void, cos I'm sure life would be easier.

Would you sing at a karaoke club? :D

[kilted exile]

I have sung at a karaoke club on a couple of occassions (usually 500 miles), and I have been laughed at on each occassion. Some among you may well be asking yourself "if you cant sing, why do you inflict your terrible voice on people kilted?" The answer is quite simple - drunkenness.

Would you make a fool of yourself for charity?

[Helga]

of course, I'm a fool everyday so it would be great to do it for a charity


would you commit a crime if you knew you wouldn't get cought?

[shortysweetp]

no i dont believe in breaking the law and setting a bad example for my daughter.

would you ever go to group therapy just because (like on fight club)?

[Molko]

I suppose so, if I needed it

Would you travel to another state (or even country!) just to see your favourite band in concert?

[Bianca Fransen]

Yes, I think so.. but then I am talking about Jerry Lee Lewis. He is almost 70 now.. so every concert I see, I fear it is going to be the last. I would probably travel to France, Germany of Great-Britain to see him. I have travelled to Germany, just across the border, for Udo Jurgens.

Would you buy a pet for the child of a friend?

[Nightshade]

If I had the parents permission.
Would you (if it exsisted) drink the elixer of life so that you would be immortaL?

[imthefoolonthehill]

yes.

would you start your life over from scratch (as an infant) if you could? no memories, nothing learned - nothing.

[mono]

Probably not - too many memories and knowledge to cherish - even the negative aspects.

Would you ever chop off all of your hair to donate it to children with long-term medical hair loss (such as 'Locks Of Love:' http://www.locksoflove.org/)?

[shortysweetp]

yes I have thought about it many times. I really need to do that I want to cut my anyway.

would you ever train for some like the tour de france?

[papayahed]

yes. I've started to train for a duathlon, ok it's not the tour de france but it's still training.

Would you cut off a limb to save yourself from certain death?

[shortysweetp]

ohh probably depending on what it was

same question?

[Bianca Fransen]

Oh, just the thought of it scares me. No, I probably would not. Other people still have to persuade me to use something to decontaminate (can you say it like this) a small cut. If the cure itches I just leave the small wound like it is..

Would you babysit a small child if the parents wanted to leave for several weeks?

[Monica]

I guess I would, but I'm not sure if it would be good for the baby... :D

Would you sing in front of 70 000 people?

[Bianca Fransen]

If I wanted them to leave :brow: . No, honestly, I would not have the guts or the talent.

Would you drink a suspicious-looking cocktail in a bar that somebody you know recommends you?

[Koa]

Well it depends on what makes it suspicious... if I'm in the right mood I drink almost anything, providing it contains alcohol :D If I'm not in the mood, only plain water for me please. So I guess I might.

Would you make prank calls to your maths teacher? ;)

[Jack_Aubrey]

These are pretty tame.

Yes I would make prank calls to my math teacher.
Would you watch an abortion?

[shortysweetp]

NO. I recently had a miscarriage where I had to have a (DNC --> http://www.swmedicalcenter.com/12110.cfm ) and it emotionally almost killed me. I mean if someone else wants to do that that's fine but I could never watch it.

would you kill a pet if it was in pain and going to die anyway?

[odin2]

No, But I would have some one else do it...


Would you eat your best friend if you hade to???

[amuse]

no, i would die and then hang out with him/her in our afterlife. :)

do birds eat butterflies? *saw one chasing the other, nearly into a brick wall. rather a swoopy, darty dance.

[mono]

Not that I know of, but I have no clue, as a fact.

Would you travel to space, if given the option?

[shortysweetp]

yes when I was little I wanted to be an astronaut.

would you want to know the future even if it meant seeing your own death or the death of a loved one?

[Koa]

Absolutely not, I want life to be a surprise, otherwise what am I living for?

Same question.

[mono]

Probably not; some things seem far better unknown (consult Greek character Tiresias about that one).

Would you ever travel to the Mariana Trench (in a safe submarine) to see what exists there?

[Helga]

sure, why not


would you stalk a person if you were certain that you wanted to be with him/her?

[Bianca Fransen]

Yes, I would. But I would try to hide it and be ashamed about it. I once thought I stalked a boy.. Turned out later he had never seen me :cool: . Guess I can really blend in a crowd :brow:.

Would you take a very large loan to make your dream come true.. even if you didn't know whether you could ever pay it back?

[Jack_Aubrey]

Yes, some risks are worth taking.

Would you ever base jump?

[mono]

Maybe someday, but it may seem a little too daring for me. :p

Would you lie to someone to hide a painful truth?

[Bianca Fransen]

Depends for who the truth is painful. If it is someone really close to me and the truth is painful, because it is embarrassing to me.. I would tell it. If it is painful for the one I am talking to.. or if it is embarrassing to me and I do not know the other person well - I would keep it for myself.

If someone died and left you a very brilliant script of a book - would you let it be published as your own?

[Koa]

No... I hope the thought would cross my mind!!!

Would you prefer to be locked for a whole day in the part of the house where the bedrooms are (therefore without food) or in the kitchen part? (therefore with no bahtroom?)
(inspired by my best friend ;))

I'd pick the kitchen, this may sound really gross, but there's always the kitchen sink in an extreme emergency.

This one came to me this morning: If you could write a book and have it considered one of the greats and have your name mentioned alongside Hemingway, Salinger, etc.. would you spend half your life as a a drug/Alcohol addict?

[mono]

I have noticed how so many brilliant writers frequently used drugs and/or alcohol: Poe, Hemingway, Wilde, Kerouac, Swinburne, etc.
To answer your question, well . . . okay, I admit, I have "experimented" some, and with some . . . substances, I felt especially . . . creative, but the after-effects felt miserable. So, the answer: yes, but not an addict. :D

If someone seriously hurt someone you love, would you "take care of the matter" yourself, or turn him/her to law authorities?
