Would You??

I would do it for the friend. That's not too much to ask.

Same Q.

I agree with Virg. As long as s/he's my friend.

Same Q

Most certainly.

same question.

I'm in the affirmative as well.


Would you give limited sustenance to a poor begger, during an environmental crisis, who suddenly began to terribly abuse you, verbally, for no apparent reason, though if you left them alone, they may perish or find it very difficult to seek further help?

I would.

same question

I would, but not before a) teaching him/her some manners, and b) teaching him a usable skill.

I would if limited sustenance meant food. I would not take him into my home. If shelter were required I would inform the police/authorities.

Same Q

I have given to people before who seemed abusive and ungrateful, but I would do it again, but like Virgil, food only. No more car lifts, or places to sleep. If they need clothing, I'll give it to them. But if they are wanting a ride, or a place to sleep, I'd contact the authorities for them.

Same Question.

I would. But then I will try to avoid him the next time I use that road.

Would you confront your neighbour if they make a lot of noise, but only exactly twice a week, every week?

I think I would prefer to move or check out the area before I even decided to settle there. Noisy neighbours are not on my list when it comes to assessing the desirability of a location.


Would you choose one year with another who truly understands you or one hundred years of misunderstandings?

Well, I think you have to clarify that a little. A hundred years of misunderstandings sounds like my wife and me now, but we still love each other. So I would pick the hundred years if there was still love there. And in real life, does one truly "understand" another, even for a year?

Same Q

Got it in one, Virgil. No one ever really understands the other person. You'd have to BE the other person to do so. 26 years of marriage and it's our differences that keep us together. If we were the same, we'd drive each other insane. I chose the hundred years... I might say sometimes that I wish people understood me, but then the whole world would be populated with clones of me, and bless my aunt Betty if that isn't a scary picture!

Same question...

I think if someone really understood me, her head would explode, so to save her from incuring a slight injury, I'll choose a hundred years of misunderstanding.

Would you trust someone who is known to be untrustworthy, if he makes a promise?

I would if it was a person whom I like, and an important promise. At least I would like to trust s/he even if that means I may be betrayed.

Same Q.

I would too. How much can you trust rumours? If the promise is significant to me, I will rely on my own judgement and... time.
