Would you rather...

Why on earth would anyone crossbreed a lion and a tiger? WHY?

[XanBcoo]

hey, it's not my fault that nature's best killing machine is only available by controlled cross-breeding.

Maybe a Tiger crossed with something else would create the "best killing machine", but not a Lion. Lions loaf around all day and only get into fights if they themselves are attacked. They wouldn't kill you. They're too lazy to give a fuck.

That is a pretty beefy looking Tiger, however.

In answer to the current question, I'd rather eat a dog. Both animals have been eaten in several cultures, but I couldn't eat something I knew came from the sewers.

Even your own wittle Fluffy, the dog that fetches your slippers and you play catch with at the park and helped you meet your wife who happens to be a dog-lover? That's cold-blooded man.

Would you rather make $100k a year and pay $35k in taxes, or make $60k a year and pay $15k in taxes?

Oops, I missed the part where you specified it was pets. In that case I'd eat the rat.

Liger's are the result of a male lion and a female tigress. They somehow have one of their size inhibitors loosened or something making them massive. They can grow to like 1000-1500 pounds and 13 feet long. The males are sterile however. Their skulls are quite a bit larger that might result in a stronger bite. There's not much info about them, nor in the wild to see how they actually hunt.

$100k. Because $65k leftover is better than only $45k left.

[Animeniax]

Yes but you most likely worked harder for that $65k than the $45k, and to see so much more taken away in taxes would be painful, wouldn't it?

Let's say it's a 17 year old guy who plays football and he can punch you wherever, just not more than twice in the same spot.

Would you rather eat dog or sewer rat?

Well, since Ive eaten dog before, I'll go with the known quantity (dog). Plus I raised rats in university, and I don't think it would fill me up the same as dog^^

[Animeniax]

Yes but don't rats breed a lot? So if you caged them and left them to it, you could feed off their young for years. Gross, but you'd survive.

And don't forget, it's not just any dog, it's your pet dog.

[rockmanj]

Hmm, well that is a bit different. The dogs here that are eaten are specifically bred to be eaten; they're pretty much like cattle. But my own dog, or a sewer rat? I'd have to go with the rat. Skinning medium sized-large animals is a bit tricky, and I think it'd be easier to skin a rat.

This reminds me of King of the Hill when Cotton was imprisoned in WW2, was down to eating his last rat but ate its droppings instead. Then he choked a guard out with a rope of braided rat tails.

I'd have to eat the rat but probably only if I could cook it. I might have to go cannibal on myself before it's all said and done.

I was eating a strip of bacon when I read this. Strange how a strip of bacon looks like an unraveled rat tail.

Yum.

[Animeniax]

Looks like a giant gumby bear.

Would you rather have a mentally disabled sibling you have to help take care of or a super-smart prodigy-type sibling whose shadow you live under?

[XanBcoo]

Having a prodigy sibling would be pretty cool. Gives you something to compete with, at the very least. My brother is pretty intelligent, and I have no problems being compared to him, so I don't think it would bother me that much.

Also I have almost no tolerance in dealing with the mentally handicapped. I hate myself for it, but it's true. Having said that, my first child will probably be Autistic now .

Well we're talking about an super-overshadowing sibling, like Jessica Simpson to Ashlee Simpson, not like Lisa Simpson to Bart Simpson. You wouldn't be competing, you'd come up short every time.

That's usually how karma works.

"Well we're talking about an super-overshadowing sibling, like Jessica Simpson to Ashlee Simpson, not like Lisa Simpson to Bart Simpson. You wouldn't be competing, you'd come up short every time."

I love to compete. Coming up short just makes me more inspired to try my best. (I am surrounded by such overshadowing people as well. Who isn't?)

[Animeniax]

True, but this is a sibling whose shadow you've lived under your entire life and always come up short against. You wouldn't be the person you (Sapphire) are today if you had to grow up under those conditions. Your self-esteem would probably be abysmal, people would always compare you to your superior sibling, and you'd always be a runner up.

So would you rather have that or have to help take care of a mentally handicapped sibling?

[Death BOO Z]

I'd go with super brother rather than retard brother.
both cases make you life horrible when you're around him, but the case of super brother doesn't require you to actually be close to him all the time, so if you just keep your friend circle and family circle apart, you can get by most of the year without being compared to him.

also, it's better for the brother. I'd rather have my brother smart than retard.

Like I said before, I've lived my whole life surrounded by people who I have yet to surpass. My brother went to MIT and is nine years my senior, so of course he's always been the most "respected". My best friend goes there, and nowadays all of my classmates in my honors program are absolute geniuses who have already learned the material or can very easily do so.. So of course I'm going to be coming up short until I catch up. That doesn't mean it has any effect on my confidence though. It's a bit shortsighted (aka stupid) to assume how someone will turn out based on one thing, especially when you don't know much else about them.
