- Would it bother you if your priest, rabbi or other religious leader (teacher if you are not religious) started wearing a plain black mask all the time? If yes, why? if I had a priest, rabbi, or what have you, then I would expect that the person in that role to behave as the role requires - with dignity, respect for office and parishioners, and discretion
- Where do you look for the answers? everywhere. Should you find them, be sure to let me know.
- If you are driving and someone honks at you does it ruin your whole day? uh, no. Others' opinions (or uncontrollable twitches) aren't all about me.
- If you are driving and you get angry at another driver do you:
...yell at them through their and your closed window? I might yell, but not "at them" - ...open the window and yell at them? never
- ...throw things at them? I thought about that just today - but would never do it
- ...stop the car and start a fight with them? ha ha ha ha ha
- ...do something else? definitely something else. Look, I grew up in the hotbed of midwestern-nice. I was yanked out of it and plunked into a fairly big city just outside Detroit. After a few years next door to what was then the Murder Capital of this country, I was picked up and moved next door to Chicago. Not the worst place in the world to drive, but certainly not the sort of place where acting like a pompous or nervy prick is going to get you anywhere. Even now, where I am (and plan to remain, God willing...), getting in peoples' faces is just asking for the sort of trouble that I'm trying to live my life without.
- I'm in the right lane on the parkway. There is an exit only lane on my right. A car pulls out from behind the pack into the exit only lane. When that car gets to the exit he is right in front of me only one lane to the right of me. Instead of exiting the parkway he tries to creep back in in front of me. I get pissed and honk the horn. He (I keep saying he but I couldn't tell) throws up his hands as he slides in front of me. I think this is funny and toot again. He throws up his hands again. I do this about three more times and each time I toot he throws his hands in the air. Then my exit comes up and I have to get off. From the time he got in front of me until I got off the parkway we drove approx. 20 feet. What you think about this situation? "I think this is funny" is the key phrase in that paragraph. If you're acting like a jerk when you drive because you think it's funny, then you deserve what happens to you--and emergency services and the rest of the innocent drivers (and others) around you ought not to have to deal with the results. Get off the road, fool.
- Do you live in reality or in your 'own little world'? to some extent, each of us lives in our own little world. The trick is to keep it in some kind of balance, to not be obnoxious or stupid about it, and to engage in the real world often enough that it doesn't come as a blow.
- Which one is better? obviously, my own little world
- Why is there porn geared towards straight men, gay men, lesbians but none really geared towards straight woman? this question makes me think that you don't understand much about straight women, porn, or the internet
- Is there more to being human than chemicals and impulses? If yes, what? the soul??
- What if all the boys in jail could get out now together? this smells like a movie line or song lyrics that I'm not getting, but I can't be bothered to look it up
- If your shoes could talk what would they say? "we love to be loved by you (and all the others!)"
- How many windows are in your house? 13
- Did you walk around your house and count them all? If not what did you do? I counted them in my head
- Do you think people store memories as pictures or words? some people are visual, some are auditory, some are extrasensory... and most are probably a combination of them
- If you got sent to jail, who would your one phone call be to? (that is a painfully-worded question.) It would depend where I was, and what the circumstances might be. My attorney's cell phone number is in my phone, and my new boss is also a lawyer, so it might be one of them?
- Pick a movie you have seen. Give a 2 sentence review about it. No Such Thing is a monster movie filmed in Iceland. It is also a condemnation of preconception, and the media.
- Pick a song you like. Give a 2 sentence review of it. Best I'll Ever Be is a Sister Hazel song that, every time I hear it, makes me a little sad and a little riled up. It's about knowing that you've found the one for you--and realizing that you're not the one for them.
- Pick a person you like. Give a two sentence description of them. I can't.
- What do these 3 words have in common: hippo, camp, us? they are three nouns that, when combined, make another noun
- If you could save time in a bottle, the first thing that you'd like to do is.. sell it at a monstrous profit. Money is very, very tight now.
- Who is the most powerful person in the world that you can think of? DG
- If you were designing a mini-golf hole, what would it be like? teaser alert: there may be just that sort of thing going into my basement...
- Why do you think certain people become targets for teasing in school or exclusion at work? hmm, is this question the exact definition of victim-blaming?
- Why, in essays, is the word 'I' not allowed to be used when it is our own personal thoughts being expressed? you may want to have your mom make an appointment with your guidance counselor and 8th grade teacher, to talk it over
- What song would you like your doorbell to play? silence
- Would you rather watch MTV or play Go Fish? fish, please
- What is an itch? a wish
- Why did the Holocaust happen? the confluence of an enormous number of factors were required to allow that to be possible
- Would you be capable of torturing another person? I suppose? I don't want to, but I think it's within us all to do terrible things.
- How did Hitler's army do this and still believe they were good people? what makes you think they believed they were good people? That's an element that is generally assumed but cannot be proven, and what is the point? Is it so that we can identify and point at "bad people," to be able to say that "we" are not like "them"? There is no magic formula, no individual element, no one identifying characteristic that would set off a scanner so that it could be weeded out. A terrible thing happened. Terrible things continue to happen. Some can be anticipated, and prevented. Some can be stopped before they go as far as intended. Some...just happen. Searching for reason in the area of horrible behavior is futile.
- Do you like poetry to rhyme? generally not
- Does 'Jewish' describe a race or a religion? yes
- How tall are you? I can usually enjoy the amusements designed for adults, if that's what you're asking
