You are given the power to kill people simply by thinking of their deaths and twice repeating the word "good-bye." People would die a natural death and no one would suspect you. Are there any situations in which you would use this power? That's a horrible power. Unless you're some kind of super-villain. Personally, I … Continue reading Question of the Week #11

Which sex do you think has it easier in our culture? Have you ever wished you were of the opposite sex? Men have it easier. Without question.* I mean, our only responsibilities are to provide meat and make fire. Not to mention that the only discomfort we have to deal with beginning at puberty is … Continue reading Question of the Week #10

Would you accept $1,000,000 to leave the country and never set foot in it again? No, I don't think so. I kind of like living in the US. I like having the wi-fi.

Would you rather be a member of a world championship sports team or be the champion of an individual sport? Which sport would you choose? Well, I don't play well with others, so I guess I'll go with the individual sport route. Although, now that I think about it, it's not so much that I … Continue reading Question of the Week #8

Do you think that the world will be a better or a worse place 100 years from now? Neither. Look, every generation that comes along claims that the world was a better place when they were younger and that things are just getting worse. But the way I see it, that's just an eye-of-the-beholder kind … Continue reading Question of the Week #7

You discover your wonderful one-year-old child is, because of a mixup at the hospital, not yours. Would you want to exchange the child to try to correct the mistake? No. It's not taking a crappy Christmas sweater back to Wal-Mart because it's a bad fit. You don't just return a kid. If you've raised this … Continue reading Question of the Week #6

If a new medicine were developed that would cure arthritis but cause a fatal reaction in 1 percent of those who took it, would you want it to be released to the public? Normally, I would be inclined to say yes. The needs of the many outweigh the needs of the few, or the one … Continue reading Question of the Week #5

So, my typical desire is to post these questions on Saturdays. I'm not sure why, it's not like readership skyrockets on a Saturday. Actually, in my experience, on this and the previous blog, readership drops on the weekend. But I guess it's just because I started the first question on a Saturday, so that's the … Continue reading Question of the Week #4

If you were to die this evening with no opportunity to communicate with anyone, what would you most regret not having told someone? Why haven't you told them yet? I really don't have regrets about the things I've said or haven't said. I'm not much of a talker. So when I do have something to … Continue reading Question of the Week #3
Question of the Week #2
Do you believe in ghosts or evil spirits? Would you be willing to spend a night alone in a remote house that is supposedly haunted?* Ghosts? No. Evil spirits? Yes. I don't believe that the human soul lingers after it leaves the body. I believe that once your body dies, your spirit goes to one … Continue reading Question of the Week #2
