change genders every time you sneeze.
Would you rather wear glasses the rest of your life, seeing clearly, or do a daily eye exercise program that takes 1 year for clarity. You can't use prescription glasses during that year.
Would you rather yourself die or have 10 random people in the world die instead of you?
Would you rather have your cities' or countries' womens basketball team win the national championship or have 33 dollars.
I was trying to balance the question in a way that I would be on the fence. Not being especially talented, I don't think I would necessarily mind not hearing myself while still being able to hear others. That, and as rach_4ever knows, being an unbelievable performer would get me SOOOO many chicks. On the other hand, I enjoy learning, but get performance anxiety. So the second option already describes me.
Gratitude turns what I already have into "enough", so I'll just let the women's basketball team win.Would you rather do your piano studies in Paris or in Moscow?Paul
Would you rather be a professional racketball player or have 70 dollars?
Would you rather listen to a full Justin Bieber concert, or having to abstain from any piano playing for 2 weeks?
wyr live in 50 degree heat or minus 50 degrees coldness? No aircon, no heater.
abstain from piano for 2 weeks. I could do a song or two, but a concert is a bit much.50 degrees. My hands are cold at 15 let alone -50. Drinking tons of water would at least make it manageable. -50 and my blood is frozen.wyr puke or fart before every conversation? (puke can go into a garbage can, doesn't need to be on their shoes)
Fart. Because they're not as nasty as pukes, you know?! Because after you puke your breath freaking smells bad and it's really ugly.Would you rather floss with bike chains, or brush your teeth with razor blades?
Would you rather kill 100 kittens or 1 new born human baby?
Would you rather be immortal or have an endless supply of money in your lifetime?
Would you rather torture and kill lostinidlewonder or perfect_pitch (the people from this forum)?
oh really and why would that be an invalid question?
OH and answering the question about killing 100 kittens is ok and people would really do it? and so that means the question that lostin... asked wasn't really a question because noone in their right mind would kill a baby right? but it's ok to kill 100 kittens? right? so I would say that wasn't a valid question either! if questions about killing aren't valid... Or is it just because it's about people from this forum? cause that doesn't make sense either, killing is killing if you know someone or not. and if it's just about killing people, then that wasn't a question at all because it was assumed from the beginning that the person answering the question would choose to kill 100 kittens (and I think that's what lostin... .really wanted). So that was sure not a question! but that was ok right?
No, that was NOT OK. It just didn't see it in time to react the same way.Paul
I think nobody on this forum in his/her right mind could give a good argumentation for killing either of the people proposed.
Im going to throw some cats at you.
Kill the 100 kittens
Lostin... I know what you are about... you can't fool me even if you can fool everyone else.
I mean it's ok, just be the way you are I know you never liked me I never liked you, it's better that we just ignore eachother.
And if I'm a violent person then everyone in the world should be violent and the world would be a better place.
I'm not fooling anyone, I have better things to do. I don't even know who you are to dislike or like you. I am sure extremist terrorists believe the same thing.
I don't know you either but I know what you're like, I know people like you. But don't worry everyone else likes you and I'm not going to try to turn them against you.
You don't know me sorry. You just dont. But you'd like to speculate if its better to torture and kill me or my fellow countryman right... that is a little disturbing to say the least, but maybe your age lets you get away with it, you are just venting your frustrations at the thought of animals getting hurt, that is ok. fwiw I am an animal lover and have 2 pet cats who where strays and I found them as kittens.
No I don't know you. But there are other ways to know what someone is really like.
And I didn't speculate if it would be better to torture and kill anyone.
Since I can't even begin to imagine how it is possible for people to torture and kill others.
I only gave you back the question you asked in the first place and changed it a little so you could see it in a different way.
I think it's disturbing that you have two cats but like to specualte about what would be the right reason to kill 100 of them.
but ok... maybe that's just a game for you and you didn't mean anything bad.
I hope you take care of your cats and don't just see them as your property without feelings. Cause they're not. They have feelings just like people even if you don't believe that.
It's 'would you rather', not a justification for why you WILL do it. It's hypothetical. Nobody's eyebrows are mysteriously disappearing, taking eye exercise classes, killing 10 random people, losing a thumb, soiling their pants, staring at the naked fat guy on my piano, randomly coming upon $33 or $70 for not caring about womens basketball or racketball, becoming invisible, meeting an alien, farting before every conversation or brushing with razor blades.Surprisingly, nobody is killing kittens or people either.
Yeah I don't really take it seriously, but I am curious as to what littletune is on about. "What someone is really like" ? You mean if you disagree with them on something like talking about killing kittens then they must fit a certain box of yours? Life is more complicated than that my deary. But you did with the question to kill and torture me or pp, you can't sidestep that even if you cry innocence. I am sure you have the ability to imagine it or have you never read a newspaper or seen the news on tv, or witnessed the violence in our world? I am sure you could never see yourself actually doing it as the majority of ethical people in this world. See what in a different way? What I see in that question you threw down is that it is motivated by frustration in my previous question. An acquaintance of mine works for the local dog pound and they put down thousands and thousands of animals every year. She puts them down herself but she loves animals and has many pets herself. Do you see that the world we live in is not just a little box that we like to believe, the world we live in is diverse. If you are offended by people talking about things that you don't like then ignore it and don't talk about it. It is not as if what I am saying every time you read it a kitten dies.I did mean something bad in sense of I meant to give a question that was tough to answer but at the same time is obvious to answer. Not everything that is difficult to understand or deal with should be avoided, that's life. If my cats didn't have me they would have been dead. They are my property, they are not little human beings. Of course I care for my animals otherwise why would I have them? To torture them every day? I'm not a satanic psychopath you know.
So do you have sex with your girlfriend who has your moms mind, or have sex with your mom with your girlfriends mind.
wyr be fully covered in thick hair or have no hair while constantly shedding skin?
...I didn't find the 100-kitten-or-1-baby murder options funny at all, even if we were all expected to take it as a joke.
No it's not just about talking about killing kittens, it's about the way you write and talk in general. I don't like it I never have. These things you say about animals just tell me that I'm right about the feeling I have about you.
I did with my question? It was the same kinda question as yours!!!!
I have the ability to imagine all the horrible things in the world that are happening to people and to animals (and it is very disturbing to me sometimes) but I can't imagine (and don't even want to) what happens in someones mind when they decide to kill or hurt someone.
Well I was agry when I said that yes! But that's not what I wanted you to see, but I guess there's no hope for you anyway.
Well if something is the way it is in this world and people accept it it doesn't make it right!
Obvious to answer? Oh why is it so obvious to answer? Because animal's life is worth so much less than a human's life? Well it's not.
It's worth the same, people convince themselves that their lives are worth more but they're not, and I mean I know every species takes care of their own, people are just the same, that's the way it is, but it does bother me when people try to pretend like their lives are somehow worth more... it's not true.
No your cats are not your property! You can imagine they are but they are not.
no living being can ever really be someone's property!
I mean saving someone's life or caring for them does not make them your property!!! That way of thinking is exactly what I don't like about you! And of course you don't think that way about other people because it would not be accepted but if times were different and it would become acceptable you would think exactly the same about people.
We will never get along and we will never agree with eachother, so I really think it's better to just ignore eachother as much as possble (which is what I have been trying to do for the last 2 years already). Have a nice life!
Actually I never imagined this could become such a big deal! It was just like when someone says: you're stupid and you say: well you're even more stupid.
