    A: easy, life of my love. I probably couldn't stand any of the 100 if I ever got to know them.

    Q: Do you support eugenics?


    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) I looked on wiki and eugenics seems to canvas a wide range of things. I don't believe in abortion, but I believe in the practice of genetic altering if it could mean that there will be less people susceptible to genetic diseases in the world. (This will allow genetically disadvantaged people to give birth without worries) In vitro fertilization, umbilic stem cell research seems fine to me, as long as it doesn't kill people. Like for example they are figuring out that stem cells can be used without the death of cloned fetus'. I however don't think science is ready to begin doing these things. We should have more, say, experimentation of nonhumans before we try to research on human lives. (Except perhaps in vitro fertilization) /rant

    Q) How often do you cry because of a drama and/or anime?

    A: hmmm there were 2 animes which made me really cry (with tears)... naruto when zabuza died and Fate/Stay Night... that ending was simply overhelming.. just remembering it makes me sad (oh man now i have to re-watch it.. i hate such endings and love them at the same time).btw, normally i cry in nearly every movie which is about... James Ryan etc...

    i don't know if that is "often", "normal" or whatever, well i like the feeling of tears running down my chin (when i m alone.... in the dark... alone..dark...emo)

    Q: what was your favorite ending in a movie/anime/series

    Hmm there's been lots of great endings, and lots of unsatisfactory ones. But the best ending I remember at the top of my head was the Kaze no Stigma ending. Sniffing hair was never so romantic. >.>

    What is your opinion on energy drinks? Do you hate them? Love/addicted to them? Like coffee or water more? Have an adversity to all liquids in general?

    A: energy drinks are an unhealthy fad that will hopefully fade like beanie babies. It's a poor alternative to eating right, exercising, getting enough sleep, and living healthy. They taste like crap for the most part. I'm starting to like V8 type drinks more, especially the ones from Japan that taste amazing and are smoother going down than V8.

    Q: Do you support negative eugenics, whereby we improve the human race by breeding out undesirable traits, like being short or curly hair or freckles or allergies or chunkiness. I want my Kwisatz Haderach.

    A: If you mean to forcibly do it, no. It should be part of the natural selection process, though with medical advancement, it's a bit hard to let them die out. But either way, no. To me it's an infringement of human rights.

    Q: If the internet was to regulated in such a way that there are no more malicious software/codes, but illegal distribution of copyrighted material is also nonexistent, and information you want to release has to be censored and published/reviewed by a thrid party. Would you embrace or reject such a change?

    A: Reject. Like they say in New Hampshire "Live free or die." If you can gets it into the tubes, you can put it on the interwebs. I have anti spy-ware programs and other free programs that keep my compy alive anyhow, so this censorship bullshit would not be worth such a trade off. Also, piracy will continue.

    Third, your ambiguous "third party" smacks of evil Big Brother overtones to me.

    Q: What is your greatest weakness?

    Humans are different from animals. We must die for a reason. Now is the time for us to regulate ourselves and reclaim our dignity. The one who holds endless potential and displays his strength and kindness to the world. Only mankind has God, a power that allows us to go above and beyond what we are now, a God that we call "possibility".

    A: I swear I'm socially retarded. I'm pretty outgoing and friendly with my few close friends I've known for a long time, but otherwise I'm very shy when it comes to talking to people I don't know and just end up having these really awkward conversations/moments because I have no idea what to say. Same thing when people start talking about feelings and relationships and whatnot, i'm just completely clueless as to what I'm supposed to do/say. Needless to say this means I have 0 skill when it comes to girls, and just end up being ronery. Sad part is I'm not even bad looking either (though I'm no Brad Pitt or anything).

    Q: if you were in a room with Oprah, Tom Cruise, and a Clown, and HAD to shoot one of them(but only one, you cant shoot them all) who would you shoot?

    A: I'm very very forgetful. I tend to forget faces, names, very easily and it gets embaressing some times. Example is that I tend to forget the nicks in this forum and get them confused at times. Other than that I also find it hard to memorise hard facts, but strange enough some times my memory surprises even myself by suddenly remember long lost experiences.

    edit oops: 2 minutes late. Guess I'll leave my answer to the previous question here but answer Mr Squiggles's as well.

    A: I'd shoot the clown. I hate clowns.

    Q: Which is more important? Job satisfaction or a well paid but boring job?

    A: Job satisfaction all the way. As long as I make enough money to afford a place to sleep, food to eat and a little on the side, money's not that big of an issue for me.

    Q: What are your thoughts on marijuana? Is it bad and should stay illegal? Do you think it the laws are unfair and that it should be legalized? Or do you not really care either way?

    EDIT: Shit, too slow.
    A: Job satisfaction, hands down. You can do a job that's well paid for a while, but it slowly eats at you. If you hate your job, you will become a miserable person (probably depressed) very quickly. It's kind of like a sliding scale. Though there is a limit to how low you can be paid (mine happens to be minimum wage of $7.65. With $20/hr, I would be very happy as long as I loved my work). Right now I somewhat enjoy my job (as a recent hire, I don't always have stuff to do), but I'm paid really well.

    Moving on....

    A: I think pot in the US should be legalized but under strict gov't regulation and taxation. It's the only way the fuddy-duddies in D.C. would ever agree to it. It could also bring in some decent revenue. As long as you make it competitive with the dealers, some government group can make sure that all of it is safe (not laced with something bad like you occasionally hear on the news), and it will destroy the drug revenue that causes the crime they are so worried about. It would empty a lot of our prisons and solve a lot of our problems. I don't use pot myself, but it's a problem we should deal with since the "War on Drugs" is an utter failure.

    Q: What foreign culinary dish would you really like to try and learn how to make? (It cannot be a dish from your own country, if you're not sure if it is or not, we'll forgive you.)

    A) Oh wow that's a tough one, since I already know how to make what I eat daily. I would prolly want to learn how to make spanish rice. I kind of know how to make it my -own- way, but not the delicious restaurant or authentic way. That and the yellow rice from like India or something (with no peanut oil, since I am allergic.) Different kinds of rice, I guess.

    Q) Are you allergic to anything? If you are, what is the worst reaction you've ever had? If you aren't, what is the worst reaction you've seen?

    (lame) Answer: i m not allergic and i havn't seen a really bad reaction yet, just some very red faces or crying eyes

    Q: what would you do with your last day in life? (you know you gonna die within the next 24 hours)

  14. #34
    A) Become insane in an extremely short amount of time, or try to contact everyone I know and tell them I love them. Maybe write out a will if it matters.

    Q) Are you good at math?

    A: I can't remember, it's been so long. But do you mean basic math or more complex stuff like Calculus or Diff Eq?

    Q: Do you think anyone can learn anything if they just put their mind to it?


    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?

    ((I meant any math. I am good at everything up to Calculus, and then I need helppppp))

    A) Yes, as long as they aren't lazy, given enough time.

    Q) What is one thing in the past that you have been obsessed with?

    A) Mortality. I've had several brushes with death or close calls one would say and ever since I was a kid it seems as if I've always been surrounded by it. Guess I'm just unlucky.

    Q) Do you believe in fate, in destiny. Do you believe that what you will become in life has already been predetermined?
    Dreaming impossible dreams.

    A: I believe the general guideline has been laid out, especially the major points (wealth, spouse, children) but how you fill in the rest is up to you.

    Q: So if you think anyone can learn anything, then the entire population of the world could become quantum physicists who understand the intricacies of the space-time continuum? Also, anyone can learn complex mathematics that currently grant genius status to the few who can do it?

    A) Yeah, if they have the time and resources then everyone has the potential to learn these things. I believe you can make yourself get smarter through hard work, though there are also many people naturally gifted who don't have to work as hard.

    But of course many people in the world are too lazy, not interested in those subjects, don't have the resources, etc.

    Q) What's your favorite sport? If you don't like sports, what's your favorite activity? (Other than anime! XD)

    A: hockey, since it blends aspects of all the other sports so well.

    I call bs on your theories about people learning whatever they put their efforts and resources into, but that's for another thread.

    Q: Do you watch American Idol?
