:lol: Yes, I probably would, actually, hoping he/she would do the same for me. Another nursing student and I recently interviewed for the same job; I cannot imagine going through that together, but I surely would have mentioned something.Quote:

Hmmm, never looked at it from that perspective :p
I guess I wouldn't at first, but after a while would tell him/her to get lost. In a friendly but firm way. If they still don't get it I will call the cops and tell them I have a stalker.
Would you reveal the true nature of someone to his friends if you find out they do some terrible thing to other people?
If the subject came up, yes. It depends how well I knew those friends.
Same Q
As with Virgil, I would if the comment seemed at all relevant. Though I usually try to appear generally anti-gossip, if it seemed pertinent to tell and applicable, then yes.
To the person below me: same question (good one, Aimus :)).
Yes of course, if it helps.
Same ques.
Well, that is one of the reasons I am a semi-hermit. Often tales get twisted in the telling, so that they can completely ruin an innocent person. I perfer to stay out of things. I hold many secrets that torture couldn't force me to reveal. Why? Because people told untrue things about me, ruined my reputation, and kicked me out of some places where anyone should be welcome. No. I could not tell unless it was to the police and I knew the person was guilty of harming someone.
Would you change anything about yourself to please someone else you loved, or stubbornly say no? :brow:
Of course it depends what it is. If it's a failing on my part I would definetely try to change, although change is very hard.
Same Q.
Even with love, I definitely feel there ought to exist an element of self-preservation. With love, of course, both people often must make some kinds of accomodations, but I would never alter very large, important things about myself; otherwise, I would feel that my loved one searches for someone else, rather than what I present.
To the person below me: would you ever pick up hitch-hikers on the road if they looked rather harmless and in need?
Now that is a good question. I commonly believe in the best of people, so yes, i would without doubt, but i'm also female, and very sensible with respect to my security, and therefore would be sceptical. I think that if i were not alone, i would probably do it. My mother once hitchhiked from greece to england, to see my father, she was armed with a knife but that was it. Once in england a frindly man said he wouldn't leave her somewhere, but drove her all the way to my father's place, wherepon he opened the door, eyes wide with surprise.
Same Question
I really think that hitchiking is a bad idea and should be discouraged. If someone looked like they were really, really in trouble, I guess I would. Otherwise no.
Chava - That must have been some car that drove your mother over the English Channel. :D Did they drop her off in the middle of the channel, where she had to stick her thunb out and wait for another while treading water? :p
Same Q
No, I would not pick up hitch hikers even if they "seem to be" harmless because people nowadays can fake their looks.
Same ques.
Perhaps I would, if the person looked really, really harmless (though I do not know how one would appear that way specifically), or in great need of help. Even if I would, however, I would take very careful precautions, so as not to get hurt, get my vehicle stolen, and such.
To the person below me: would you provide a good job reference for a friend or family member, even though you think this person would do horribly at this occupation?
Well I would try to be as non committal as possible, but I wouldn't lie.
Same Question:
To the person below me: would you provide a good job reference for a friend or family member, even though you think this person would do horribly at this occupation?
Hmmmmmm Yes I would do it if the person is a close family member or friend.
Same Question.
No, I will not, good job references are earned, not given. They will have to prove themselves first. I won't be negative about them either. I'd be neutral about it.
How would you feel when someone who is clearly not as smart as you is right and you are wrong?
