Would You??

its really unlikely that id be dating someone who wasn't already an animal lover but if I were put in the position of having to choose...id absolutely choose the pet. apart from loving animals to the extent I do, having one is a also a matter of responsibility.

if you had the mental math ability (im reading bringing down the house), would you use it to play blackjack and win hundreds of thousands of dollars?

Yes I probably would

You are on a date and the person you are with tries to scam the restursunt by putting a dead bug on his/her plate. Do you go along with it for the free meal and in hopes of ending the date well or do you tell the staff the truth and risk losing your date?

You ask the trickiest questions, Dark! Hehe. . I remember my dad telling me a story. . like, someone asked a monk, what would you do if you were on a mountain road, there was a tiger ahead of you, and a robber behind you, and you were hanging on a branch. . what would you do? And the monk said, "I wouldn't have gotten myself into that situation." But I suppose I can't use that answer here, can I? :-) I would just laugh it off and pay for the meal I think.

Would you represent your species on a special mission to another planet, in a first contact meeting? If you were chosen for it?

im a huge star trek fan, and I love exploring and star trek: first contact was a great movie (where the Vulcans meet humans for the first time), and I think that would be the neatest thing! so I say yes.

would you give up your all time favorite food for the rest of your life in order to be and feel healthier?

No. Ice cream wins.

Would you be afraid if you saw the ghost of a beloved friend or family member, and the hypothetical specter did nothing threatening, but only crossed the room, sat in a chair, and looked at you?

as I don't believe in ghosts, it would be disturbing maybe, but I don't think "afraid" is the right word...and I might be more bothered by the non-communicative behavior!

different version of my last question above: would you eat something daily that you really didn't like, but that would make you healthier?

Yes. I already do, brussel sprouts.

Would you live on the space station for a year?

Yes! Absolutely. But ideally without expediture of rocket fuel.

Would you be a colonist to another planet or galaxy if, in 200 years, we are able to find and travel there? (And you were chosen?)

Depends what the Earth looks like in 200 years, and what this new planet has to offer; if it's Mars or something then... probably not.

Would you name any cities after yourself if you were a dictator?

As I would not be a slave, so I would not be a master. If I were ever dumb enough to be a dictator, I would name my capitol Bonerville.

If you had inherited a name that your family was very proud of, and the name was Wiener, or Crapper, or Djherkov or something, and you planned on having kids, would you change it?

Yes, if it was something totally preposterous like 'peckerweasel' or 'pissflip'. Also I didn't notice what was wrong with Djherkov for a few minutes. My family aren't the type to be proud of a name anyway so it hardly matters.

Would you (assuming you have the skills to do so quite well) rather adapt an old classic work of literature into a new film, graphic novel, stage play, orchestral score or piece of art nouveau? And what work would you adapt.

I'd do hyper-technological animated movie versions of works that couldn't really be presented in a conventional movie format, like Journey to the West or The Golden As s.

If you were living on a colony on Mars, and you started to run out of food (and couldn't get resupplied), would you raid another colony for food, up to and including cannibalizing its colonists?

Nah I would kill myself before killing other people to eat, or stealing their food and leaving them to starve. If I knew they were getting resupplied though, I would steal from them of course.

Would you move to Sweden to avoid being drafted (or after being drafted) into a war you didn't believe was purposeful or just?

No, if I was convinced it was an unjust war (which would require more than simply not supporting it or not wanting to fight), I would just refuse to go and let the chips fall where they may. Sweden's too damn cold.

From an entirely rational perspective, should a soldier's (or Marine's) life be placed at serious risk in order to retrieve the corpse of a fallen comrade?

Not that I can tell, but I'm not a soldier, maybe it's important to do that for reasons I'm not aware of.

Would you rather be in a submarine, airplane or tank in WW2 (which country you fight for is randomized).
