Shamelessly pinched this idea from another forum I frequent. It works like this. I will ask a question at the end of this post, anybody can answer it. When they have answered it they can roll it over ie repeat the same question, or create their own question. The questions can be deep or trivial to ones choice.

Quote from: "Twentythree"Q: What is your most influential memory?
My most influential memory was my dad telling me a story about how he was being mocked by a kid in high school and he warned him several times to stop, but the kid didn't, and finally when my dad's very long fuse burned up he punched the kid while they were doing a workout for football, and the kid rolled all the way down a hill. Because of that story, I have contained myself in many a situation where I wanted to unleash on someone, but didn't out of fear of the damage that I could inflict.

Fiction - reading, writing, and watching it. I especially love the gothic stuff, hence the name, from Melmoth the Wanderer. I think it deals with basic human weakness in a more sympathetic way than any other genre.

Quote from: "Tank"Q. If you could go back in time and change one thing in your life what would it be?
When I was 5 years old and it was time for my mother to register me for public school, the school system told her that my aptitude test would have allowed me to skip kindergarten and go straight to the first grade. To this day, I still don't get a straight answer when I ask her why she went ahead and put me in kindergarten anyway. I wonder how my life would have turned out differently if she had put me in first grade. I would have grown up with completely different schoolteachers, and completely different groups of friends, probably giving me completely different interests, resulting in my current life being vastly different than it is. I don't have it too bad right now, but I wonder if I would have actually graduated college on time instead of changing my major three times, or maybe I wouldn't have even gone to college at all. I can't help but think things would have turned out better for me if she had allowed me to advance.

Not sure. Even if the space-ray itself doesn't cause the million deaths, it's entirely possible that a world suddenly without religion would result in massive violence and civil wars just from mass confusion.
So again... what if scientists estimate that use of your space-ray would result in approximately 1 million deaths from unintended consequences? Would you use it?

Since two of you asked questions at the same time, I'm going to answer BOTH of you!
Self-confidence without arrogance. More like "being comfortable in one's skin." Not hiding one's personality quirks to fit in with the crowd. A broad (and probably morbid) sense of humor is a must. Definitely the ability to take everything with a grain of salt and not get easily offended. As far physical attraction goes, a nice smile will make me melt.
About six months ago I was at my job during a really intense thunderstorm. I'm a cashier, and I happened to be reaching toward my cash register just as lightning struck the building or power lines or something, I'm not sure what it hit. It killed the power, everything went dark, but I could see the arc jump from my register to my outstretched hand, which was about a centimeter away at that moment, and I felt the current in my whole body. It didn't hurt me at all, it just scared the bejeezus out of me. People on the other end of the room said they heard the "zap" when it shocked me. My boss let me go home after that because I was shaking from head to toe. It's kind of a cool memory now.

I guess it was the acknowledgement of my own existence and how I always viewed the world threw my own eyes to gain a personal perspective. No one else can be a bigger part of me than I am to myself so I am an individual. Being an introverted little child, I always had a sense of individuality. "I think therefore I am" kinda thing.

Quote from: "sillyseal"Q: Which came first, the chicken or the egg?Ah! The ultimate evolutionary strawman question! This illustrates the fundamental miss-understanding of the nature of natural selection leading to evolutionary change. At the level of the individual organism there is no evolution. It's the gene pool that evolves and at any given moment an individual is neither the same as that which precedes it nor that which follows it. A chicken is an abstract human concept applied to a group of organisms that can breed with each other and generally look pretty similar. So the question is an example of ignorant thinking.

I'd probably want to talk to Paul, assuming he existed, and I'd basically walk him through the history of the universe, revealing everything I know about astronomy, geology, biology, physics, and chemistry. I'd want him to have the chance to take a step back and be in awe of the true majesty of the universe, and to expand the scope of his understanding so that this myth he's become so wrapped up in becomes nothing by comparison.

That's a good answer, Tank, but silly seal didn't ask which came first, the chicken (as in a group of animals that are genetically similar enough to reproduce within itself and produce fertile offspring which change the group's gene proportion per generation based on natural selection) or the chicken egg :yay:

I don't collect my dog's poo during her walks. I used to, I would put them in plastic bags and throw them in the bin but I re thought that and changed my ways. I choose stategic places for her to do her business though. I also take (if I remember to) a cloth bag I have when going on quick supermarket trips, to be one less consumer of plastic bags.
Not that those will have a big impact for good, though.

He asked me what I wanted so I asked for the only hair cut I had heard of; a 'short back and sides'. When I got home my Mum took me straight back to the hairdresser and gave him a right bollocking! As she said; I had been going there for four years so why had he taken it upon himself to massacre my hair the way he had! He looked very sheepish and gave me my money back. Nothing he could do about the hair cut that just had to grow out on it's own

Q. Could a Magic Pudding be considered to have a gender and if so what would it be?
EDIT: Trivial Fact if the Day. In fact tanks did used to have a gender. The very first generation tanks came in two versions, one armed only with machine guns and others armed with modified navel 6lb cannons and machine guns. The machine gun only versions were classed as female while the ones with the cannons were classed as male. The older tank in my avatar would be an example of a male tank.

I changed my mind. I'm more afraid because all those whom I love will die off and I just watched a psychology video on Rational Emotive Behavior where it basically stated that our natural state of being is nonexistence and life is just a short vacation. I don't want the vacation to end! lol

Quote from: "missedtheboat"Q: What is the worst date you have ever been on?
We were in a crowded movie theater. I really had a bloated feeling in my stomach, and I knew I had to fart. You know those farts that you're unsure about? You know, where it might be a fart, but it also might be a squirt? Well this wasn't like that. There was no doubt in my mind that I had to fart. It was absolutely, 100%, with all certainty a fart. Being in a crowded movie theater, I didn't want to get up and make a disturbance or miss part of a good movie. I figured if she smelled anything over the popcorn and nachos and hot dogs nearby, I could always blame it on someone else. No problem. The key was not to make too much noise. Thank goodness it was apholstery, not vinyl. So I leaned just a bit sideways so as to spread the cheeks ever so slightly to keep them from smacking together repeatedly and loudly... and...
SQUIRT!!!! OH NO!!! WHAT HAVE I DONE!!! I got up, went to the bathroom, and saw that it was a complete mess. There was no way I was going to be able to hide what I had done. Boxers are not huggies... they do not have leak guards! I felt betrayed by my ability to ascertain the liquid content of my rectum that day.
So I left. She drove herself there, so it's not like she had to find another way home. I just left. She called and left me some nasty messages about ditching her like that, and I felt bad, but at the end of the day it had to be done. I'd rather her tell her friends I was the jerk that ditched her at the movie theater than I was the disgusting guy that crapped his pants during the movie.

Quote from: "missedtheboat"I was possibly responsible for somebodies worst date. I was sitting behind 3 girls and a boy at the cinema and ruminating on the fact that as a id I'd have been happy to get to the cinema with one girl. So I tapped the lap on the shoulder and asked 'How come you get 3 girls to go to the flicks with you?' There was a momentary silence and two of the three girls burst out laughing. It was only then I got a close look at the third girl who was shooting me evils! She wasn't a girl but a very girly looking boy!!! He was not pleased and they moved away and then left. I don't think the girls actually stopped giggling at the poor lad.

Yes I would DEFINITELY wear yellow pants. In fact, make it a Canary Yellow Tux with tophat and tails! Or Robin's Egg Blue! I've always wanted to try wearing those to a wedding. That and I've always wanted to roll out a rug and hit my knees facing east during the Christian invocation at an official change-of-command ceremony here on base. I just want to see what they'd do.

That's a good question. I'd have to weigh out the situation. If I loved ice-cream most, I could probably decide to shift my love. Hm I think things I love most - my integrity/honor, & intimacy with others. Ya seems at the moment there's nothing I love more than those things.

A. I'm not an artist (some people disagree) but work in the creative sector, and have never really been inspired by a piece of art to become creative it is something i have always done. But a piece of art that really changed my perspective that art isn't just about pretty imagery was "Fucking Hell" by the Chapman Brothers it is truly shocking and massively impressive with the amount of work that went into it. I don't particularly like the rest of the work the Chapman Brothers do as its too much about trying to be controversial.
The video doesn't even come close to showing of this piece of work.

A: The age rating system doesn't really seem to make any difference, all i ever hear are annoying little kids shouting and insulting people in games like call of duty. I don't think the two are comparable. If people decide to join the military at the age of 16 then that's there decision and the military seem to be pretty capable of ensuring people are mentally stable before they join. Whereas forms of entertainment that have mature rating systems attached to them are there for parents to make decisions on what there children are exposed to within there home. At the end of the day games like call of duty aren't real portrayals of war, they are forms of entertainment that bring the thrill of danger without any real danger, and is a parents job to ensure there children understand the difference between life and fiction. I do think there are way way way to many games out that rely on fictitious violence as there main core mechanic, hopefully developers can take inspiration from games like portal that buck this trend and do it fantastically well.

A. Sort of, a lady collapsed at work once and stopped breathing, twice. I was the first aider on duty and had to give her mouth-to-mouth resuscitation until the ambulance arrived. She survived and it was a minor stroke from which we made a full recovery. During the incident I was fine, did all the right things. When I handed the lady over to the ambulance medics I went to jelly, shaking like a leaf :)

There was a time I saved a guy from drowning. I would not call it heroic, but some people did. I was just a kid at the time (As was the person in trouble) and being a strong swimmer, I would sometimes swim across the underwater currents. Some fool followed (He wasn't specifically following me - just didn't know there were currents there), but couldn't return. Halfway to shore on my way back from a swim, I became aware of him needing assistance and, following the good maritime tradition, I gave it. I remember it being a bloody torture, swimming against the currents with one arm occupied holding someone else's head above water.
Eventually, a jetski came to aid, but by then I have already cleared the currents... Just.

A. Well depending on how you mean it could be so many different answers. One, no, due to the aging process I am not nearly as good now as I was ten years ago, I am ten years closer to death. Intelegence or understanding of philosophy, yes, I have a much better grasp of ideas than I did ten years ago. As a whole person, yes, my expierances have made me a much more calm, and understanding person, and my patience has grown a lot. So yes over all I am a mush better person.

Q. Do you feel that you are a sum of your actions, and all of the actions of those that have been? Or do you feel free from the influences of others, and independant from the mass populas? And Why, or why not?
A: I believe that everyone is interconnected to some degree. But it depends on the severity of the action. For example, if I hit myself in the face right now, it won't have any effect on anyone except myself. I doubt anyone in the future will be effected by it. But if I go out and kill someone, I will likely change the lives of anyone that person knows or had a chance to know in the future. I am the sum of the actions of those before me, because those actions are what lead to my existence. Had the actions of others been different, perhaps situations would have changed and I would have never been conceived. It sort of goes with the butterfly effect I guess. But I might be misunderstanding your question, so I'll go ahead and copy and paste that as my question and see another point of view...

A person is more than the sum total of their behaviors, whether influenced by others or not. Even if a person were a mere summation of their past and present actions, those actions (even if you don't believe in free will) are influenced by more than that person's environment. Biology is relevant as well.

A: That's actually kind of a tough question. I'd say Buddha, but he wasn't actually a god, so I guess that wouldn't count. The god I have the most knowledge of would be Jehovah, (or Yahweh, I'm not sure which to really call him), but I most certainly wouldn't worship him, since I have a VERY low opinion of him. But I guess if I had to choose someone to worship, I'd probably go back to Greek mythology and go for Athena, since she is the goddess of wisdom and reason.

A:The brain would not degenerate with age. The rest of the body would have to take it chances but our brains are truly where we live and I find it tragic that while so much has/is/could be done to keep the body going the brain is a different issue. When life expectancy was 40 and brains topped out at 70 things were the right way around. The organ that makes us human remained pretty well up to the job.

A: First, you're asking to give an opinion irrespective of personal position. Seems at best very difficult and at worst impossible. Perhaps I'm misunderstanding the question. However, the best answer I can give is no. I do not think it's morally superior. In fact, I believe the other way around is true.

A. I would side with the religious group in nearly any scenario I could imagine. I will assume the organization owns the property, therefor I would fight to protect their property rights. If it were state owned land, let's say this happened in a communist type government than I would again support the church against the government infringing upon their rights to pursue non-violent activities. In the second scenario, I'm assuming government owns all the land.
This is all based on the assumption they are your typical church, not the one around where I used to live that used to make children have sex with animals. (True story.) If it were this kind of church I would side with the atheists.

A: No I'd transfer it into a high interest savings account and leave it there for a decade or so until I was reasonably confident the bank had not missed the money. The original client would have noticed they had not been paid so the bank would have sorted that out. If the bank did ask for the money back they could have their $100,000 but I'd keep the interest :) I'd keep the money as an emergency fund in case somebody got I'll and was injured and use it then.

It didn't hurt much, but I tend not to willingly submit to pain. I did it because I thought it would be cool, and I enjoyed it for a while, but don't miss it at all now that the hole is closed.

I would ban religion in schools, only allowing teaching about religion. Certainly no daily act of worship or intelligent design in science lessons. Pehaps a bit of Karl Popper's philosophy of scientific proof would be nice.
I digress.
I would strip religious organisations of their charitable status. I would prevent the state from supporting religions and get the preaching out of teaching.
I would not stop people from practicing their religions because it wouldn't stop them believing and I think going underground might enhance faith.

I tried to eliminate that very factor in the wording of the question.
Here are the hypothetical facts: You commited whatever crime, for whatever reason. You being able to justify it is not very relevant - the point is, as far as society goes, you are guilty and you know it.
You got caught. Do you admit to having done as accused? Or do you lie your teeth blue in an attempt to evade possible social vengeance?
A: Few close friends.
Q: Do you have friends who in your book rank higher than active members of your close family? (Close family: parents, children, siblings. Active members: people you know and have regular contact with. A father with whom you have not spoken for 20 years, for example, does not count.)

Q: Do you have friends who in your book rank higher than active members of your close family? (Close family: parents, children, siblings. Active members: people you know and have regular contact with. A father with whom you have not spoken for 20 years, for example, does not count.)
A: Yes, familiarity breeds contempt don't you know.
Q: So if you could get god to change his plan, divert from his image and make us a little different, what would you request?
A trunk, a tail, a brain with replaceable chips, roller skate feet or other?

Probably not. I really enjoy being organic. Feeling both pain and pleasure as a human. I can't help but think of Data from star trek TNG. Try as he might, he can't grasp simple human emotion, like laughter. He's the smartest logical being in the galaxy as an android, but you can see how much it pains him not to experience such simplicity.
I just don't want to age, but I enjoy being in my own skin, thanks.

A. No, t.v. just seems to make the idiots among us more noticeable, it also gives them a forum, along with the internet, to exhibit their idiocy. On a side note, I love when people say, "read a book." As if there aren't books out their with misinformation, poor logic, or even poor grammar. Simply because someone is capable of writing in their native language does not automatically grant them credibility.
As for people who are influenced by shows like "The Hills," I'm fairly certain their is something more deeply wrong with them.

A: On reflection, no. I was tempted by Thatcher, but only for a nano-second. We have not had a political assassination in the UK since god knows when. I would think that such an event would have such a profound effect in the UK that any backlash would far, far outweigh any potential benefit, personal or for society as a whole.
Hitler filled a need in the German people. His death would not have stopped that need from forming. If one killed Hitler there would be no way to predict that a more effective leader would not have filled that need and as a result defeated the UK and then Russia one at a time as Hitler should have done.

A: Colour TV and science programmes. When colour TV came to the Uk there were not many colour TV programmes on the TV. The BBC showed a series called The World About Us. A natural history series designed to exploit and demonstrate the capabilities of colour TV. It aired at 7pm on Sunday evening and it captured my attention and started my interest in all things to do with the natural world and biology in particular.

Q. Do you believe in other life forms in the universe?
A: With a qualification of 'life' to include single celled micro-organisms I would be astonished if not only did it not exist but exist in considerable quantity. If one considers technologically capable creatures capable of abstract communication I would say probability of a few is again almost a certainty. But that would be because there are so many places such life could evolve. I do think that technologically advanced civilisations would be vanishingly rare, and our probability of ever discovering consequently minuscule, as our possibility of communication pretty much non-existent.

Quote from: Aaron SF on June 23, 2011, 09:31:02 AMQ. Have you ever seen the Atheist Experience tv show, and if so what is your opinion of it?I have indeed! I think it's a brilliant way to put atheism out there in the world and demonstrate we're not evil or immoral (or amoral) or that we hate god or something. It also, I think, demonstrates to callers that they should question their perspectives a bit more often.
Philosopher John Rawls, in an attempt to determine the morality of a certain social issue, posited the thought experiment colloquially called the 'veil of ignorance'. Imagine that societal roles were randomly redistributed, but that you cannot see the ultimate consequence of this redistribution because you're behind a veil of ignorance, unable to see where you will end up. You don't know if you'll be born into health or disease, wealth or poverty, talent or normalcy. Based on this thought experiment, one can thus be given a new perspective on the morality of an issue, like slavery or welfare or education. I'd like you to walk through this thought experiment for a moment and see if your opinions or perception changes about the way the world works. In what way has your perception changed, if at all?

Quote from: Sweetdeath on July 26, 2011, 07:01:40 PMOh swimming! I try to swim 3 to 4 times a week doing 30 to 60 minutes of light slow swimming. It's the best thing for lowering my Diabetes. And I've lost alot of weight doing it. Plus I have a leopard halter style swimsuit. It rocks. ;)Quote from: Tank on July 26, 2011, 06:15:17 PM

Are you afraid of a hand coming up from under your bed if your foot hangs over the edge?

Wow, I meant lamb up there. I don't think a lamp would taste very good, unless it's made of meat. O_o...
Swimming is the best workout, definitely.
A: oh gosh, yes. I also have a fear of someone putting their hand over mine as I reach for the light switch in a dark room. T_T
Q: Would you like to switch bodies with someone for a day? If so, whom?
