If we're talking a Sonya/Raskolnikov scenario, definitely.
Would you rather be forever trapped in a morgue, or be completely aware while sitting in a lobotomy chair whilst being operated on?

If we're talking a Sonya/Raskolnikov scenario, definitely.
Would you rather be forever trapped in a morgue, or be completely aware while sitting in a lobotomy chair whilst being operated on?
Neither sounds good, but I'd take the morgue, given a choice.
Would you rather investigate a haunted graveyard or a haunted house?
Either would be fine. There's no such thing as ghosts.
If someone were publicly ribbing you for not wearing a colored ribbon indicating that you had made a nominal contribution to a well publicized charity, would you make it clear that you just contributed much more to a less supported charity of your own choosing, or take the slight and keep the information to your self?
I would tell the offending party to go **** themselves but I wouldn't bother to tell anyone how much I had donated to anything, so the latter.
Would you keep giving your patronage to a struggling business because you wanted to see it succeed even if everything they sold could be purchased online, with same day delivery, for 75% of what they sell for?
Nope.
Would you?
I don't think I would long term, besides they're going out of business with or without me anyway.
Would you trade your ability to speak, read and write English for equal mastery in some other language? Is yes, which language?
No. English is my favorite language.
Would you trade your current citizenship for that of a country in which education at all levels is free (the country has a small population and such phenomenal mineral resources that taxes are not burdensome)?
Definitely not, and actually this is something that bothers me with Canadians in general. I have two coworkers, one from Spain and one from Brazil, I asked both of them where they would most want to live in the entire world if they had the option and they answered (spoiler), Spain and Brazil respectively. Ask any (young) Canadian the same question and you're going to get nothing but 'Sweden', 'Norway', 'Denmark'... mostly because of the "free" education.
Would you say that access to "free" healthcare is an inalienable human right?
Ask me when "free" healthcare actually exists. Until then, how can it be a right?
If there were another "Black Death," where would you go?
I'll wait it out in a small town.
Would you choose to extend your life by seven (healthy) years if it meant that when you do die the method of death is being eaten alive by rats?
No. It would tickle.
Would you want to live forever if it meant that your consciousness were downloaded onto software to be used by a researcher you didn't really know (and your physical body destroyed)?
No.
Would you want to live forever if you could be cloned over and over while retaining your memories?
Not really. There are worse things than dying, some of which may be upon us in a generation or two. I'm not that optimistic about this life.
If someone had told you a secret, an you had promised not to tell anyone, but on reflection you decided that the information would make someone else (suffering acute mental anguish) feel better, would you spill the beans?
It would depend on my relationship to the person who told the secret and what if any damage might be done to them by revealing it.
Would you date someone who had radically different political views than you?
Sure, or marry her. As long as she didn't try to prescribe her political beliefs for me (in other words if there was no PC involved), it wouldn't be a problem. We're going to have to learn to disagree about more important things than that.
Same question.
