Six probably, I loved grade 1.
Okay, so in the absence of another question from Clopin, I'll ask: if you had to choose (you know, hypothetically) would you take a son or a daughter?
Daughter, I'm a guy and I think sons and fathers tend to fight more often than daughters and fathers. Probably because men try to mold their sons into people like them, I guess.
What's your favorite artistic medium (as a consumer)? Speculate on the reason a little too.
Son if I have to pick, I want both though.
Literature by far, I think it's the most personal and also very didactic. Then music, then a long gap before film and painting/drawing, then whatever else.
Would you rather be blind or deaf and dumb?
Well, maybe not surprisingly, the written word. It's because with writing, the actual art takes place somewhere between the writer, who is encoding a certain vision or meaning or aesthetic into language, and the reader, who is decoding the message in his or her own moment of experience. This happens with all art to some extent, but with writing-reading, the actual experience of art seems to happen much closer to the recipient. The relationship between writer and reader seems more interactive. This is why I don't enjoy books on tapes. To me, it feels like someone else is doing the decoding.
Deaf and dumb by far.
Would you read (and pay for) a book by a confessed and convicted serial killer?
Phew hard one. Deaf and dumb because being blind would still be a bigger inconvenience in day to day life I think. Though I'd miss music hugely of course.
I like literature most 'cause you can pretty much half-sleep through any other medium and kind of claim to have at least experienced it. Reading is powered solely by your attention, though.
What's the most you've gotten away with, in any sense of the phrase, during the course of a salaried job? I'm asking because I'm 'working' as I type this, haha.
If I wanted to read it, yes.
Would you grant Charles Manson parole?
Whoops, sorry Pompey.
I don't think the book would be interesting so no.
Same question I just asked.
As a telemarketer doing debt consolidation I used to make my quota of transfers and then piss around doing crossword puzzles all day... I was still pretty productive though so whatever.Quote:

There are things that happened in the in the early 80s that ought to stay there. Let's just leave it at that. :)Quote:

Wait what? Twenty years? No... that's insane.
Execution for politicians who betray the public and for white collar criminals?
Yeah, it just happened in Georgia. With no possibility of parole (I think). And of our media's attitude is, now that'll teach 'em! Completely nuts.
Nay--but they're the one's who need long jail terms.
Going to a hockey game on a first date?
Definitely not.
From the title of the book whose author I am contacting on behalf of the bookstore I work at: What makes you feel loved?
Tsk, they need to be strung up.
I would, I'm not a giant hockey fan but it's the only sport where I can watch an entire game and not be bored.
Execution ever, for any reason?
