Would You??

No. I remember many days, but no matter which one or ones I think of, I cannot tell you for certain if they happened exactly one year ago from today (or any particular day). Birthdays, holidays, fixed points in time, of course are different, but I'm talking about the things little things that all together make up the experience of living a day. Do I remember how that scar on my leg came to be? Of course I do! Do I remember how long ago it was? Yes! Could I put it on my calendar as an "anniversary" of some morbid type? No, because I really don't remember when it happened. If that is true for a traumatic day like that, why would I remember an ordinary yesterday a year from now?


To the next person, let's take this one step further. Can you remember what you said or did throughout the entire day, yesterday?

Yes I do remember. I had a lecture on Feminism & we discussed the various aspects of Feminism & the different ways in which women are subordinated in the Society.

Would you accept your mistake (any mistake) publicly ?

For the most part I accept my mistakes. Publicly I guess depends on the mistake.

Same Q

I certainly agree with Virgil; I could easily admit publicly that I accidentally burned some popcorn yesterday, but could not publicly admit . . . well, I will not admit them here, either! :lol:

To the person below me: would you ever travel to a country in turmoil, or in war (even in a war not involved with your country)?

Not out of the freedom to choose anywhere and choosing such a dangerous place, no. But for freedom, absolutely yes. In other words, for personal or selfish or inward-looking reasons, no, but for altruistic or patriotic or humanitarian or defensive reasons, in the name of a credo I uphold, yes.

To the person below me: How much love or other value would it take for you to willingly give up your freedom or life to prevent someone else from having to give up their freedom or life?

I place very little value on my own life. If it could futher another's well-being, I would die that they might live. It's not for sainthood, it's for I'd finally be free, and have done something right at least once. I'm not looking for pity here, que sera, sera.

That said, if you had a serious medical condition, how far would you go to be "normal"?

Perhaps I'm already normal, and everyone else is abnormal? :D Do I make myself abnormal just to be normal with the abnormal guys? :P I would only go so far to correct my condition if the risk is lesser than not doing anything.

Good question Pen. I think I would try to be as healthy as possible that will not cause me other problems. If the disability allows me to function to an acceptable level then I would be satisfied.

Same Q

With or without a serious medical condition, I would never strive to seem 'normal,' regardless. Just as Emerson wrote (though on a subject pertaining to persistent traveling), no matter how diligently one tries, one cannot avoid himself/herself. Personally, I think it takes much more bravery to acknowledge one's weaknesses and strive for self-acceptance, than to strive for interpersonal acceptance from others in order to appear 'normal.'
In terms of a physical medical condition, such as missing a leg, for example, I may opt for a prosthesis, but it would seem far more for my own benefit (the desire for walking and exercise) than to appear 'normal.'

To the person below me: would you (or have you) ever sing karaoke?

(a friend always tries to convince me, and I have given in a few times, to my subsequent embarrassment :D)

I think I would. I have never done it though, but sounds fun.

For the person below me:

Would you change your religion if the circumstances were: war, political pressure, community pressure, marriage or change in beliefs or any other reason.

I am such a relativist - it would depend upon the circumstances. I wouldn't give up my core religion (Christianity) for the reasons above. On the other hand, I have have compromised my religious beliefs due to marriage plans. My fiancee was Catholic and I was Lutheran - the differences in church dogma didn't matter to me because in essence, we worshipped the same God.

Next poster: same question

Nah, I'm an atheist, and I'm not all of a sudden going to be something else. Nothing in the world will make me see that which does not exist. (although I am considering starting an Aimus worshipping cult, but there doesn't seem to be that many people interested. :( ;) )

When you have a change of heart, would you do everthing in your power to undo what you did before or would you accept and move on, or something in between, or whatever, you get the idea.

I would get upset probably have a couple of panic attacks but YOu cant change the past whats done is done etc so Id probably put it down to learning and move on.


same q is interesting

I dont believe in regrets, stuff happenned I cant change that.


Same Q

I definitely agree with kilted. I can honestly say that I seldom regret things (though I have a few regrets of my past), and whatever occurs in my 'change of heart' depends more upon myself than the situation; though a situation seems easier to alter than myself, I would likely change neither (unless my decision seriously harmed someone, of course), and continue on with life.

To the person below me: if you attended a jury on a very serious court case involving murder, would you sentence the murderer to life imprisonment or a death sentence (capital punishment)?
