So Many Questions: Part I

I'm always willing to rehash old blog posts or ideas that I've blatantly stolen from other people's blogs. It's not that I don't feel particularly creative on a given day. It's probably more of a laziness thing. But I don't feel like I'm lazy. I just, more often than not, get home from work and … Continue reading So Many Questions: Part I

Question of the Week #63

Assume there were a technological breakthrough that would allow people to travel as easily and cheaply between continents as between nearby cities. Unfortunately, there would also be 100,000 deaths a year from the device. Would you try to prevent its use? No, I wouldn't. There are risks with everything. While, statistically, flying is the safest … Continue reading Question of the Week #63

Question of the Week #62

If you walked out of your house one morning and saw a bird with a broken wing huddled in some nearby bushes, what would you do? Not to sound heartless, but I would keep walking. Survival of the fittest my friends, survival of the fittest. Besides, I'm not a vet. What would I do with … Continue reading Question of the Week #62

Question of the Week #61

Can you urinate in front of another person? Not only can I, but I have. It wasn't really by choice. There was an emergency situation following a 20oz. Fruitopia on a mission trip. We pulled the vans over and I stood next to a fence and let loose. Suddenly here comes one of the kids … Continue reading Question of the Week #61

Question of the Week #60

Would you add one year to your life if it meant taking one year from the life of someone in the world selected at random? Would it matter if you were told whose life you had shortened? I wouldn't do it. Doesn't matter to me whose life would be shortened. One day it'll be my … Continue reading Question of the Week #60

Question of the Week #59

By controlling medical research funds, you are in a position to guarantee that a cure will be found in 15 years for any disease you choose. Unfortunately, no progress on any others would be made during that period. Would you target one disease? No, I wouldn't. What if researchers are only five years away from … Continue reading Question of the Week #59

Question of the Week #58

A good friend pulls off a well-conceived practical joke that plays on one of your foibles and makes you look ridiculous. How would you react? I'd like to say I'd laugh it off. I mean, I love a good practical joke... as long as it's played on someone else. I'd probably get pissed. I'd get … Continue reading Question of the Week #58

Question of the Week #57

Would you be willing to give up sex for one year if you knew it would give you a much deeper sense of peace than you have now? Well, I've gone this long. What's another year? Honestly, though, I really don't think this is how it works. Otherwise, I should be about the most peaceful … Continue reading Question of the Week #57

Question of the Week #55

This is a day late, folks. Sorry about that. Not sure that I have an excuse other than I got busy yesterday and then when I finished with all I had to do, got lazy. But there are no rules here. If you have a problem with getting this week's question on a Sunday, rather … Continue reading Question of the Week #55
