Definitely. I've long been considering personal steroid use and I think I'll dip into them once I naturally reach my weight/strength goals, though I don't compete at any sports.

Same question.

No, and I would turn in all I knew of who were doping so I wouldn't have to compete against them.

If you had a serious neurological condition (say, multiple sclerosis), would you take a drug that would relieve you of about half of your symptoms but would also put you at a significantly elevated risk of developing liver cancer?

Yes considering my life today, maybe not if I had children or dependents, etc.

Would you be capable of eating an entire extra large pizza in one sitting?

Not unless it included bacon.

Would you rather go to a banjo concert or an accordion concert? (No fair saying neither).

A...accordion.

Would you rather go to the moon for one hour (rocket time not counting), or have a free trip around the world for one year?

totally the trip around the world with some extra time in Ireland.

if you had the opportunity, would you go back in your life to one particular point and do something differently than what you have already done? (generic confession allowed)

No. I believe that every moment I've lived; the good, the bad, the happy and sad, is an important lesson learned which will help me face what is yet to come. Besides, if I do go back in time and change one point in my life, how do I know that I would like the outcome of that action? I might end up having to face a much worse situation...

Would you give up your life to save a stranger?

No I would not.

Would you agree to be inprisoned for one year if at the end of it you would be givin a million dollars?

I lean towards not, freedom's huge---but there's a slight possibility depending on if I got to chose the time in my life, and the type of prison.

say you are with Gandhi, protesting something of great significance, and the authorities are about to physically assault you. would you be able to continue in your passive resistance?

No I could not be that much of a pacifist. I would fight back in defense of myself.

If you found out your brother was cheating on his wife would you tell her?

No. They can work out their marital problems without my intrusions.

If you cheated on your spouse, and it ended without detection, and you resolved that it was something that you would never try again, would you ever tell your spouse about it?

there was a M*A*S*H episode about that. BJ had a one nighter and woke up the next day, trying to write a letter to his wife about it. Hawkeye found out, and stopped him from doing it, essentially saying why punish your wife with this.

I like to think that the foreknowledge of the guilt that would ensue, and the desire to be honorable (and honoring), would never land me in that position.

I lean towards saying id confess, I think the guilt would eat me alive, but I can see the incredible difficulty in doing so and given hawkeye's point above, one wonders if there is any selfishness involved in it.

this is a tough question too because im not married. I think it might help to have the essence of the relationship in front of me---how much is it built on trust, mutual respect, and forgiveness, etc.


youre in the divergent universe and have just taken the test to find out what faction you best belong to. you find out you are divergent. when you go to your faction, would you try to seek out other divergents, or would you go about your business, keeping that knowledge to yourself?

No. if I were sent to the divergent faction, and there were divergents there, then logically they would have to be non-divergents to the dopes who just stuck me in the divergent faction. So why would I seek them out? Damned conformists! (Is this a video game?)



Would you drink a safe and reputedly delicious tea made from bug poop?

(spoiler alert!) no its a young adult book series by veronica roth. there is no "divergent faction"---divergents are killed when they are discovered. thus the moral dilemma of keeping quiet about it, or seeking out others of your kind.

so long as no bugs were harmed in the process, I would be willing to try it...but it would take a lot to get over the ewwwwwwwwww factor.

lemme try the hunger games universe this time. you find yourself in the situation like katniss and peeta. would you, like them decide upon mutual suicide, or would you say no, we need to fight until only one of us is left?

I think I would make the same choice they did because I would want to rebel against the system and not just do what they expected me to do.

You have a beloved cat (or dog if you perfer) and the person you are dating cannot stand your pet. If you had to choose would you give up the pet or end the relationship?
