http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0072752/

its so bad that it actually becomes cult

usually half-bad utterly boring movies are the nastiest to bare, and there are many, many of them

I don't think any experience I have ever had can be definitively explained by science.
Some ideas are so stupid only an intellectual could believe them (Orwell).

Is this because you don't believe subjective experience itself falls within the purview of scientific explanation?

As for redoing my childhood, definately no.  And if I could go back to 20 and redo everything with the knowledge I'd have now, I'd have to say maybe.  I'd certainly change a few things, starting with gong to an out of state college and finishing my degree.  And I sure as hell wouldn't have married my first husband.  However, I'm quite happy with Husband #2, so that part I wouldn't want to change.  :)

Today's question:

Would you change your nationality if you could?  If so, to what?

Hmm. Before I answer, just to clarify, do you mean moving to another country as an adult and officially changing your nationality... or do you mean entirely adopting the culture of another nation personally and making it your own? I know it seems like the same thing, but I know many people who have moved here from their native culture, and while they are Canadian on paper and like the country, culturally they still consider themselves part of whichever country's culture they came from. So I guess I'm trying to ask what you mean by nationality -- what does it involve? :)

Many consider Newfoundland its own nation (we have our own flag!) I feel like my culturally identity is the mostly tied to that place, and I don't think I'd want to change that. Globalization raises some interesting questions about the role of Nationalism, though. I'm not sure that it's as useful of a concept as it once was.
"We've thought of life by analogy with a journey, with pilgrimage which had a serious purpose at the end, and the THING was to get to that end; success, or whatever it is, or maybe heaven after you're dead. But, we missed the point the whole way along; It was a musical thing and you were supposed to sing, or dance, while the music was being played.

I would love to know what it is like to grow up in other countries.  I suspect that no matter where I ever go, I will always mostly see the world through American eyes.  I wish there was a way for me to truly know what it's like to be from a different culture.  I don't know if that answers the question, exactly.
