E: No, a total war between the Soviets and West would have been far worse than the Cold War was.
Would you rather read French or Italian literature?
Yes, I probably would have and threatened Russia with nuclear attacks if they didn't disarm. The cold war was won for the west but you need to consider Eastern Europe which is still a travesty and I suspect Mao was worse than Chiang and Mao would never have come to power without a Soviet Union.
Would YOU say Oswald acted alone?
Unless Italian includes Latin, I'd rather read French.
Would you rather have Italian salad dressing or French?
French Literature, no question.
Would you give up a month of your life for a night with Marilyn Monroe?
Yes, Oswald acted alone. Same salad dressing question above.
Good point about Mao, Clopin.
Okay, how about French dressing vs. creamy Italian?
French dressing... I think.
Spicy pasta or creamy?
It depends on my mood, but for today creamy sounds nice.
Red Sox or Yankees?
...Wesley So.
Roses or sunsets?
Sunsets.
Would you rather see the sunrise or the sunset?
Oranges!
Pineapples or pine forests?
Oh sorry, the sunset.
Really dark hair or really blonde?
blonde!
would you date a pop star, if he/she was your type and you were single?
Really dark.
E: Sure, if she was my type. It would be curious that she'd be a pop star and my type, though.
If you could prevent WWI and II, would you do it, if that would also mean that none of 20th C. art would exist?
Yes, that would be curious!Quote:

Would you be scared to live in an exact replica of the Overlook Hotel, from the movie?
If it were just the art, then yes, I would do it in a heartbeat. But it wouldn't be just the art.
Really, really, shiny dark was the right answer to the hair question, btw. And no pop stars for me, even if I was single.
Not scared of Overlook Hotel.
Would you give two and a half years of your life to teach a handful of African villagers not to go to the bathroom in their water supply?
E: I'd probably have time to do something else at the same time, so why not.
Also not scared of Overlook
Ancient Greek art & lit or ancient Roman art & lit?
Greek but I have less experience with Roman.
Would you say it was worth it Pomp?
Greek is more profound but I find most Latin lit more fun.
Would you feel less comfortable to have female physician than a male?
No, more. I had terrible groin pain once when I was 10, and I specifically asked for a female doctor. :D
Would you offer to be the object of practice shots if your mother was training to be a nurse?
No problem. Needles don't bother me.
Would you take a high paying job if you had serious doubts you would do a good job?
Brave man.
No.
Would you say something if you worked at a bookstore and an English major bought a No Fear Shakespeare?
Yes, I'd call him a whorson knave and watch him look it up.
Would you go around talking like a pirate all day even though it wasn't talk like a pirate day?
No. I'm awkward enough IRL as it is.
Would you play a sport you're fond of with the best in the world, just for the experience, even though you would certainly lose?
Absolutely. I would be thrilled to surf with Kelly Slater.
Would you take the side of a friend in a debate against someone you didn't like even though you knew your friend was wrong?
Sure, maybe just to meet the athletes. Only baseball, though.Quote:

Yes, I can't stand large sporting events.
Would you support a terminally ill family member's decision to commit assisted suicide?
Absolutely.
Would you change your professed aesthetic tastes, preferences, and/or favorites to impress people?
Change them? No. Pretend they are different to impress girls? Yes.
Would you ever pursue a friends girlfriend as a love interest if you thought she seriously might be "the one" (or Hell, even if you don't)?
I'd probably try to be friends with the girl, and just sort of wait for them to break up, and get as close to her as is politely possible (close in the emotional sense) while they are still together. So depends on how you mean 'pursue' I guess.
Would you work hard to learn an instrument to impress a girl?
That is pursuing, I would keep you away from my girlfriend if I were your friend in that situation!
And no, but it would be an added bonus.
Would you go on a blind date?
No way.
I won't steal your girl Clopin.
Would you say you are good at keeping secrets?
Alas, there is no girl to steal.
And yes, quite good. I would tell my wife everything though, if it were at all relevant to her, or epjust something I felt she should know.
Would you quit a well paid job if your manager/boss was quite mean/belittling to you?
No, I'm a wimp, which means I'd be really sad about it but be too scared of leaving the familiar.
I'm awful at keeping people's secrets, I need to work on that. I just love sharing gossip.
Would you be in a successful band if you could, but it wasn't great music or people you enjoyed playing with?
If they're successful, yes. Then I could make enough money to follow my own muse when our run is over.
Would you rather play lead or rhythm in a band?
Lead guitar, since that would involve play both rhythm and lead. I'd rather have two guitarists who both play solos, though.
Would you like to hear a drum solo?
I loathe drum solos...except Danny Carey's.
Would you cheat on a test in a required class that meant nothing to you?
No thank you. The neighbors love to complain.Quote:

Yes, all of the most brilliant art combined isn't worth one human life.Quote:

Haha it depends, they are both cute. Probably not, death by starvation has got to be worse than death by fox!
Would you jump really high or scream if you moved something in your kitchen and encountered a live rat?
