A: I'm not religious, and I don't believe in 'heaven' or 'hell' as so-called final resting places (Imagine that, a non-zealot American!). I figure that when I die, my spirit will probably either be floating around as a non-entity or reborn. I haven't decided whether to buy into the whole 'rebirth' idea, and I really don't feel like killing myself to find out. I suppose I'll see it when it happens. Until then I can only speculate.
Q: Does the fact that you'll eventually die disturb you?
Now 99% disease free!
A. Yes, because i'm faitly certain that i'll neither go to heaven or hell, i'll just disapear from existence
B. What would you do if you got your hands on death note?
A: i would help people who are in pain and let them die peacefully.. something like "fullfilling their last wish" if that is possible somehow..Originally Posted by The Archangel
Q:do you "believe" in death penalty? do you think its right to kill people? do you think the goverment sets a wrong example if the say "its allowed to kill people"?
A: Capital punishment isn't necessarily a bad thing, but I wouldn't say it's a good thing either. It all depends on the crime. If it's something like mass rape, then no, I don't like it. But, if it's murder or something like that, yes, I do believe it's necessary. The government can say anything they want and get away with it, whether we agree with it or not. America isn't a democracy, despite whatever we may think.
Q: What is true democracy in your eyes?
Now 99% disease free!
A. Some people do deserve to die but i don't believe in the death penalty because the system isn't perfect and there are inocent people incarcerated
Q. Who do you admire the most?
i don't really admire anyone... but if you ask me i would probably say "people who won in the lottery"... you know.. so much money, they don't really have to work anymore if they are clever.
Q:spree killers -> victim or culprit? (for example kids who get go amok because of bullying and so on, i don't want to know whether its right or wrong to kill people btw ^^ because everyone knows that its wrong. i think you get the idea.)
A: Culprit. It doesn't matter what anyone thinks, they are definitely not victims. Try telling the true victims that the killer was supposedly one. I don't get people who call these fools the ones we should be admiring for whatever reason. It just isn't right. It isn't anyone's fault but their own for taking things too damn seriously.
Q: Since nobody (ahem, Archangel) answered my question, I restate it. What do you believe to be 'true' democracy? Is it a political scenario where the people truly rule? Or is it a place like America: the people vote for their favorite representatives to vote for 'the popular decision' without giving everyday citizens any say at all into what laws are passed? (I know, we can actually say something, but the fact that we can't go into Congress and debate our point for ourselves before the law is passed is somewhat disheartening.)
Please correct me if I'm wrong.

A: Hmm. I think though this government was initially created to offset the power of a king and give power to the congress, (which is what, 535 people?) America as a whole has given too much power to the president. I don't know really when this started happening. America has begun to shift blame to the president, instead of his advisors and even the congress, probably because it is easier to blame one guy then 535 or even 2/3 of the 535 people. Of course in times of emergency we give the president power in one or two days to decide things because it's simply his right and that is his job, but over time we've made simply a military position more like a "king" like position. But then that depends on the presidents popularity. If everyone loves him or is scared or something, congress basically will write him a blank check to do whatever, but if he is hated, as I believe Kennedy was, congress won't let them do crap. People only rule as much as they get involved. The election turnout was rather high last election, but before that hardly anyone cared. Your job as "citizen" is to contact your congressman and tell them issues, so they might bring them up as bills to be passed. But instead the only people who do that are lobbyists, so unequal voices are heard. I don't know what law you're talking about, I don't even think the president can go and debate something to the congress, he's only allowed to present bills and veto them. (Actually he is allowed, I remember seeing Clinton debating health care reform all the time [which failed, by the way]) Sorry, you'd just have to get your congressman to do it for you. (You prolly don't know enough about the constitution, or past cases and politics to debate something anyway). In my opinion it's way better for a congressman to be reelected if he takes all the credit for a bill himself, that's why we never see lobbyist doing any talking. /rant

A: i m in the middle of both, because both sides are a bit crazy but both have some good points
Q:arranged marriage.. a good, or bad thing?
Last edited by KrayZ33; Wed, 04-09-2008 at 07:51 AM.
A) Modern times: bad, because it infringes out right to choose. Of course, there's always divorce nowadays.Back then, good. Since it ensures you get married quickly and raise kids before you die at like 30.
Q) Tell us about a dish that only your Mum or Dad can make just right?
If it's not Isuzu-chan Mii~
A) My mom can make very good stew with tomato sauce, brussel spouts, shrimp, spinach, spices, ground beef (to put on rice). She used to make really good "spanish" rice with picante sauce, and my dad can make really good tomato sauce (to put on rice)
Q) Do you or did you challenge yourself in school?
"Leaving hell is not the same as entering it." - Tierce Japhrimel
A: I used to, before I found that it was rather useless. School systems aren't really my thing. I've said this to my friends before, and I'll repeat it here: grades are only conductive to see how lazy or productive you are. It doesn't matter how smart you are; only how much effort you put into it. You can pass on blind luck and rote memorization. Until they mark grades on how much you've actually learned, I don't believe in the stupid system they have in place. So, no, I don't challenge myself in school.
Q: What do you believe will happen (politically, socially, etc.) in the next ten years?
Now 99% disease free!
Sorry bout that python i guess i missed your last question
A. Well, people feel so safe with the current system that unless something happens i'm not really seeing any change in the next 10 years. If it did change it would probably have something to do with either the USA, China, Iraq (terrorism) or all of the above.
Q. Where do you feel completely safe?
A) I feel the safest at home. More so in my room. It's not so much that it's "safe" from danger. It's more the idea that you're familiar with it. An environment that you see day in day out. You feel that no matter what changes, your home is always there for you. (yes, exceptions.....hurricanes......but that's what I feel anyway.)
Q) What's your favourite season?
If it's not Isuzu-chan Mii~
A: Winter. People are less obnoxious when they're shivering with cold. Everything is more serene and peaceful, especially with a nice thick layer of snow covering everything. You can walk outside without breaking a sweat and you feel so refreshed and clean. It's great. Plus you can warm up in front of a fire or under the comforter and spend an entire day just content.
Q: Do you think countries should require service in the military for all males after high school?
“For God will not permit that we shall know what is to come... those who by some sorcery or by some dream might come to pierce the veil that lies so darkly over all that is before them may serve by just that vision to cause that God should wrench the world from its heading and set it upon another course altogether and then where stands the sorcerer? Where the dreamer and his dream?”
A: No.
Q: Do you find it sexually arousing to watch Animal Planet?
A: No I don't, as I'm attracted to humans and not animals
(Try not to answer with one word)
Q: What is something that you wanted to do as a kid, but think is silly now?
"Leaving hell is not the same as entering it." - Tierce Japhrimel
A: Run away from school, build a sled and travel to the north pole, taking only a Power Rangers hoodie with me because it would obviously have been enough to keep me warm.
If you meant as a career, I wanted to be a "scientist" so I could build Zords and fly around in them all day long. Yes, I really liked Power Rangers.
Q: What's something you think is silly now, but will probably end up doing later in life?
<@Terra> he told me this, "man actually meeting terra is so fucking big", and he started crying. Then he bought me hot dogs
A) Acting like a kid when I'm 70.
Q) Do you want to get married? If not, why not? If so, at what age and why?
If it's not Isuzu-chan Mii~
A: Eventually, in about ten years. I think it would be good to finally be out of the high school "oh you can just get another one" ideal.
Q: Taking a look at the world today, what do you believe will happen in the next fifteen or so years? Is there anything you could possibly think or act on changing the trend?
