I guess this would depend on who's life it is. Certainly I would be more inclined to do so for a friend than a stanger. But in both instances, I'm sorry to say, I would lean more towards self preservation, because fear looms large in me.
Same question
There are definitely people that I would do my darnedest for, but if my morals kicked in, telling me that all human life is valuable, and that anything I can do to preserve it is worth it, then I would take the fall so the other person could see another day. I've had some experiences in my (albiet short) life where I would have traded places with someone that was suffering, just because there was nothing I could do, and it was horrible to feel helpless. I do look up to life-savers, because they are certainly doing the "right" thing, and it's so awesome to see someone that selfless. Fear would be a hard thing to deal with, so I hope that I would find the courage from somewhere inside of me to try and help anyway, even tho I might be scared out of my mind.
Passing on the question from Adil: Would you take the risk to save the lives of others, making yours in danger?
Only with some people. I'm very fearful of danger, and to explicitly put yourself in danger seems a very daft thing to do. Selfish I know.
Same question.
"Would you take the risk to save the lives of others, making yours in danger?"
Woah, good question. It really makes you think...
I, personally, would take the gamble. Not just because it seems like the "hero's" thing to do, but because if there were so many lives out there, so many souls, would you really think of yourself as a better person compared to all of them combined? And don't forget, its a risk, not self-sacrifice. You're not doomed to die, you just have to make sure they're taken care of first and that they're safe and alive. If the issue ever came up, I would definately take the risk; its well worth it.
Oops almost for got the question. I'll give the next person a choice. Go on and answer adil's question or this. Whatever...
Would you rather be pretty and strong, or ugly and wise?
Ugly and wise. There's always the gym and burlap sacks to fit the rest.:D
Same Q.
ugly and wise. Pretty and strong is overrated.
Would you rather be on a collapsing bridge or in a collapsing tunnel?
I'd rather be on a collapsing bridge so I could run almost in mid air as the tiles fall from under me like in the Will E. Coyote cartoons.
would you rather be a Matematician, an Engineer or a Phycisist? (Career choice day coming soon, sorry)
Phycisist- science intrigues me, math's okay, and the only thing I can build is the suspense to one of my stories... and a good ham sandwich.
Would you rather read only one incredibly good book in your life or a million bad ones?
If I had the choice of a million bad books, I'd could easily tolerate confining my reading to Ulysses for the rest of my life.
Same question, because I can't think of anything.
same answer
Would you rather hibernate, or go through with winter? (from Logos' blog)
I'd rather go through the winter
Mustache or beard
Both or either.
Cave exploring or white water rafting?
white water rafting- its like a rollercoster, only dangerous! ^_^ Besides, after seeing too many horror movies, I'd rather stay as far away from caves as possible...
Heavy Metal Rock or Sappy Lovey-Dovey songs?
Sappy Lovey-Dovey songs are the best.
"Let's make love, all night long, until all our strength is gone. Hold on tight,
just let go, I want to feel you in my soul..."
Ditch a date or date a ditcher
I was ditching today and as today is a date in the calendar I guess I was ditching on a date but my ditch was created with a spade. Talk about posting drivel - mea culpa. But if anyone dated me then I guess they'd be dating a ditcher. I have never ditched a date! Once I turned up intoxicated. Sweet girl - she forgave me.
UHT or straight from the cow? Hah!!
I don't understand the abbreviation U.H.T. So I'll go straight to the source and take it from the cow.
Would you trade a pence for a penny?
Trade is economic life blood so I guess I would. UHT = ULTRA HEAT TREATED
Romania or Russia?
I would Russia.
Same Q.
They're two different places! Probably Romania, as it's closer to Bulgaria...and closer to Viktor Krum...:p
Would you take someone else's ballpen or quill?
*feeling goofily stupid*
Quill! It's all Harry Potter-ish! (Especially if the quill in question belonged to a certain scar-head...) ^_^
If you were sick and you could only eat jello or crackers, which would ou choose?
Right now, jello. I have a sore throat! ;)
Tough it out or moan and let the world know you're sick?
Tough it out.
sound sleep or light sleep
lately, lots and lots of sleep but no rest. :D
So it's neither, but I guess I prefer a sound sleep.
Cargo of eartly delight or redemption?
I would like to eat first and repent later :p
So cargo of earthly delight.
Why has this thread become 'This and That'? Would you continue like this or bring it back on track?
Would it matter to you if I tried?
No it wont.
Would Aimus like to try and bring back this thread on track? Would you hang on by a star if you were to recieve a free ride of the entire galaxy?
Sorry, my thoughts are very ramdom tonight :D
I hadn't noticed, but if the star is free, and it's in good shape, I'd take a free ride anyday, if it means getting out of this place.
Would you fire a rocket into a planet if the planet is crawling with bugs that bug you terribly?
No I wont. I will be bothered about earthly bugs. :D
Would you be able to drink two gallons of water in one minute?
no, that is unhealthy, besides, I don't even know how much liter one gallon is, and I'm too lazy to look it up.
Would you be able to drink four liters of water in four seconds beyond the rainbow?
No I cant, whether this side or beyond the rainbow.
Would you be able to make a bow from a rainbow?
No, it's all reflections...
Would you shy away from shyness to overtake the loud mouthed fool in the centre of the leechinfested townsquare, if you were there and were an integral part of the performance?
Although I am more comfortable being backstage, but if its important I wont shy away, no matter what the situation. But I dont think I got what your question was.
Would you yell at someone just like that?
Would you ask easy questions?
No I would not yell at someone just like that, I don't yell even when I'm angry, I do not like to raise my voice in anger, I prefer the angry whisper, which is far more effective.
Would you think this is an easy question, or is it still too hard?
It is still too hard... I think my mind is floating somewhere.... way... up... there... zzzzzz.......
Would you give me th answer to your question? I don't wanna think....
Ya it was easy. :D
Would you show me how to express angry whisper?
I don't want to frighten you :p
Would you know the difference between angry whisper and a will o wisp when both appear at the exact same time in space?
I don't think so. I don't even understand what you just said, so the chances of distinguishing between the two are very slim
Would you give your right eye to a person that only has a left eye?
NNNNNNOOOOO! I don't think so too......
Would you dream to be a manimal?
Define manimal.
Edit -- Would you know what to ask when you dont know what to ask?
yes I am, but the question should have been; Would the next person be a morning person?Quote:
