What, if anything, is too serious to be joked about? More and more each day, it seems. I'm not saying it's wrong to be politically correct. I'm not necessarily saying it's right, either. It's just funny how you can look back at movies or TV shows that were made 20, even 10 years ago and … Continue reading Question of the Week #142

Question of the Week #141
Would you accept a guaranteed, lifetime allowance of $50,000 per year (adjusted annually for inflation) if accepting it meant that you could never again earn money from either work or investments? No brainer. Absolutely, I would. Even if it wasn't adjusted annually for inflation, I'd do it. It's not that I don't enjoy work or … Continue reading Question of the Week #141
Question of the Week #140
Would you like to know the precise date of your death? No. Why would anyone want to know that? Look, if you're answering this question with a yes in the comments below, please include your reasoning. I don't know... seems kind of morbid. And if you're the one who knows when someone's gonna die and … Continue reading Question of the Week #140
Question of the Week #139
Would you rather spend a month on vacation with your parents or put in overtime at your current job for four weeks without extra compensation? I'm not sure how to answer this question. I mean, I love my job. So if I were asked to do extra work out of the kindness of my heart, … Continue reading Question of the Week #139
Question of the Week #138
If you began to be very attracted to someone of another race, how would your behavior differ from what it would be toward someone of your own race? This is a stupid question. I can almost guarantee, based on 20+ years of post-adolescent experience, if I like a girl, I'm pretty much going to act … Continue reading Question of the Week #138
Question of the Week #137
Do you find it so hard to say "no" that you regularly do favors you do not want to do? If so, why? No. That was easy. Seriously, though... I don't think I have a hard time saying no. I'm not a chronic people pleaser. I'm not going to tell someone I'll do something because … Continue reading Question of the Week #137
Question of the Week #136
If you knew your child would be severely retarded and would die by the age of five, would you decide to have an abortion? Absolutely not. If it's God's will for me to have a child with any kind of handicap, whatever the case may be, then it's for a reason. If an abortion was … Continue reading Question of the Week #136
The Confusing Middle’s Top 10 Blog Posts of 2017
I did this last year. And the year before that. Being the third year in a row, I guess we can now call the Top 10 an annual tradition. This is the post where I look back at the previous year and make a list of the blog posts that got the most traffic throughout … Continue reading The Confusing Middle’s Top 10 Blog Posts of 2017
Question of the Week #135
Which would you prefer: a wild, turbulent life filled with joy, sorrow, passion, and adventure--intoxicating successes and stunning setbacks; or a happy, secure, predictable life surrounded by friends and family without such wide swings of fortune and mood? This question almost makes the latter option sound boring by comparison. Personally, though, I'd rather have the … Continue reading Question of the Week #135
Question of the Week #134
Would it disturb you much if, upon your death, your body were simply thrown into the woods and left to rot? Why? Well... I'll admit, the thought is slightly disturbing. But, if I'm being honest, it doesn't really matter all that much to me. If I'm dead, I'm dead. What happens to my body doesn't … Continue reading Question of the Week #134
