oh yes.
Do you know anyone's behaviour who doesn't change when around different people?
Yes - he's universally idiotic.
Same question!
People change slightly, but underneath it all, they are who they are. Knowing Adelheid, I would point out that Paul said in the Bible that he was all things to all people. To those without the law as without the law that he might gain those without the law. But he remained Paul. As does everyone else, even if they change a bit around different people.
I'll pass your question on:

To the person below me: would you ever sell a gift given to you by a loved one?
No. Never.
same q.
Under normal circumstances, no. THe Gift of the Magi comes to mind. . . . I was always made so sad by that story
Next person: same question
Never. It is like giving a gift of love away. I would be pained if I were the person who gave the gift.
Would you rather write an essay or clean the house?
Adelheid's back! Nice to see you.Quote:

same Q.
As a writer, I prefer to write, on any subject!
Would you spend 30 days with a person whose beliefs and values were diametrically opposite to yours?
Sure - i might learn something.
Same question:

Isn't that called husband and wife? :DQuote:

Same Q.
Oh well, my parents beliefs are very much opposite to mine and I am spending time with them. I am living in their house.
Same Question!
All my life I have lived with my parents despite their thought process being very different. But we have over the years learnt to give each other the space needed while being ourselves. So it is actually not 30 but a few thousand days that I have lived with them, a lot I guess. :D
Same question...
Sure, as long as the person doesn't try to convert me to their beliefs in anyway I don't see why not. I'm sure we'd get along fine, to a certain extent.
Would you remember yesterday a year from now?
Perhaps yes, actually, having completed writing the first act of a play. :D
To the person below me: interesting question, so I pass it along --

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)?
Life imprisonment. Though some crimes may merit death, I have too little faith in myself as a dispenser of judgment to consider myself infallible.
Same question.
If I survived the desperate attempts of both the state and the defendant to eliminate any possible potential jury member who might be capable of independent thought, you mean? Well, assuming they had both used up all their rejections before calling me, then I would be willing to entertain both options. I don't support the death penalty out of a sense of outrage, nor do I oppose the death penalty simply because it is the death penalty and death is so final. Death is final for everyone, and no one is giving me a free pass, therefore I don't reject the penalty out-of-hand without considering the arguments presented before me. Each case must, out of both necessity and law of entropy, be considered individual and must be decided on its own merits and its own merits alone.
If the facts presented merit my judgement for the death penalty, then I would sentence it. If they did not, I would choose the lesser option. This is, of course, what the opposing jurists would ask me and why I would be eliminated. Only the mindless, the careless, the weak-minded and the easily deceived would make it to the final twelve.
Next question: doesn't anyone have any questions?
its appears that they dont,kelly... hmm
would you repeat a question even if you didnt like it just out of laziness?
Yes, I will!
Same Question.
No, I won't!
Same Question.
Why bother? :lol:
If train A leaves Chicago going West at 45mph and train B leaves Denver going East at 45mph at what point will they past? :)
On either side of the last train to Clarksville.
Would you toss an annoying (but expensive) piece of electrical equipment from the window of your flat?
I would rather wrap it & store it.
Would you change a few of your habits for your loved ones - say your wife/husband?
One tries. Yes, if you expect a life long marriage.
Good question. Same.
Yes, I will! At least, I will try if I really love him.
Same Question!
