Just another silly forum game. :grin: The rules are simple, I will begin by describing a brief scenario or situation ending with the question 'what would you do?' and the next person answers and describes another scenario for the someone else to answer. And so it goes... ;D
Here's the situation:
You're waiting in a supermarket checkout queue and an elderly man behind you is verbally harassing everyone in front of him, saying things like, 'this cashier couldn't be slower if she tried!' and 'why do people get so many items?! They keep the queue from moving!'. He targets you as well with some comment on your choice of items.
What would do you do?
I'd tell him that he appears to be old enough that he shouldn't be riding the cotton pony. (menstruating)
He takes a swing at me.
What would you do?
Depending on my mood and his overall demeanor of course, but I'd likely engage him in conversation about those choices. Could be some entertainment value for all involved, there.
What would you do if somebody put up a large garish sign advertising land for sale, with an arrow pointing toward your house, because they want to sell a parcel of land that shares access with your place?
Strap him down and yank out his teeth.
What would you do if you found out Kent Hovind was your father?
Tell him to calm the fuck down. I've actually done that before.

You find yourself face to face with Trump. What do you do?

(I gave him my very best googly-eyed death stare.)
;D
I'd ask him how long he has been off his meds. Is it because prescription drugs are so obscenely expensive?
Hmmm. I would look at the clock to see what time it is. If it's 0930 I'd say---good morning, happy wake up time.

What would you do if xSomeOne started a game with very simple rules but the anarchic local cats just refused to be herded?
Is a sharp ZAP! via the electrode all HAFers have cranially inserted on joining an option?
Of course.
And the annoying old guy, well I'd pay a twelve year old speech and drama kid to do a rant.
How about a young rap kid?
Oh ye, na, Bolsonaro has probley declared open season on them.
You young whipper snapper, didn't your mother ever teach you how to act right?
In my day a young person knew how to behave in public.
Why don't you get your hair cut, why aren't you in school?
You just get to the end of the line and let your elders through.

Bozo has declared open season on everyone but his dearly beloved Trump. However, if wit were bullets he would definitely be in the Stormtropper category...can't hit a thing. Instead he shits through his mouth, as if when the time came to design him God didn't get the two ends of the digestive system right.

:notsure: I guess the perfect response meme would be 'OK boomer!' ;D
In Brazil there are preferential queues for elderly people, pregnant women and people with physical disabilities. I don't know why he didn't go to one of those. ::)

Because in the US, a lot of what goes on is, "Hooray for me, and to hell with you!". I moved from the greater Los Angeles area into a less populated area 17+ years ago. I pulled into a gas station for gas here, and when I went to leave, a person waved me out in front of them. I sat there for a few seconds, trying to figure out why it wasn't their middle finger. Turns out that a lot of places have people who exhibit what I would like to call "common" courtesy, and it seems like Brazil is doing it right. I do see it here at local markets, too. Most places, people are so wrapped up in the competition and "not wanting to be taken advantage of", that they are on guard all the time. OK, I'm rambling, it's late, I'm tired. :offtobed:

If by 'doing it right' you mean making it a law, then yes. ;) On buses there are preferential seats for people in those categories, and there are exclusive parking spaces as well. But many Brazilians being people who try to get away with everything and no fiscalization means you often find young, physically able people are in preferential queues, seats and parking spaces.

I am a coward, so would run away while I'm still alive.
i am a pacifist, so my first strategy is run away as well.
but i am also a non-theist, and have no real justification for pacifism.
so if he followed me, found me, and presented a serious threat to my life or safety, or if he threatened anyone in my family, i would kill him.

I'm with you there, but I don't think a belief in any gods is a justification for pacifism; probably just the opposite.

I mean that I think theists are less like to be pacifists, but perhaps I misunderstood what you meant.
My philosophy, if I am going to die, you're coming with me, mother fucker!
Depends on dimensions and characteristics of the hitter.
Aquaman/Conan/Khal Drogo/Ronon: Run/crawl away if not dead before I get hit again.
Woody Allan: Hit him back.
Old demented dude: Watch and don't get hit again

ah
i see. in america mainstream protestants are certainly routinely violent, and roman fatholics practice their just wars. but quake4s, mennonites, brethren, amish, and seventh day adventists are all explicit pacifists.
modern protestant quakers depart from it to the extent that theydepart from traditional quakerism.
You start a simple forum game that devolves into a discussion of pacifist philosophy when nobody follows the rules, what do you do?
you walk up to em in a store and punch em in the face.
what would you do if one day nobody recognized you, nobody had ever heard of you, and there was no trace of your past existence anywhere but in your memory?
Banish them to Ken Ham's arc.
You wake up as the opposite sex, what do you do?
Masturbate like crazy before I change back. A vagina can't lose an erection after orgasm!
You're walking on the sidewalk looking at your cell phone and don't see the open manhole. You fall in. What would you do?
Hope I didn't break both legs on the landing and then try to climb out.
There's an active volcano forming in your backyard. What do you do?
immortalize myself through my footprints.
