Now here's my conundrum. Food or sex. If you pick food, you'll always have access to whatever delicacy you could wish for and you will never get fat, but you will never feel a hint of sexual desire or pleasure. If you pick sex, you will have whatever partner(s) and whatever fantasy you could ask(and unlimited stamina), but you will never feel hunger and your tastebuds will die. Food paradise with no sex or sex paradise with no food?

Damn you stof. Too difficult.

Actually that's pretty easy for me. I've never been a fan of food or eating, I don't enjoy it as much as some people. To me it's just fuel. If I couldn't taste I'd never eat unhealthy things like fast food or candy, it would be a giant plus for me not to be able to taste.

hey guys whats up, its the angrypoolmanz here for you today and i got a series of queschins that i want you guys to answer.

1. You have to choose your life as it is right now. nothing will get any better, nothing will get any worse. you will maintain the current level of quality in your life for the remainder of your life. or you will become president of the united states of america, but you will be assassinated one year before your term ends. which do you choose?

so there they are. im looking forward to your answers, i need something to lol at.

My current life, if only for the fact that I have no desire to govern anything, let alone a behemoth like the US.

2. would you rather be the greatest genius on earth, but never appreciated in your own lifetime or considered a genius within your own lifetime, but thought of as a mediocre hack after you died?

Genius now. Hell, I won't be around to see people calling me a hack anyway.

3. would you rather have a sexual partner who was great in bed, but was so ugly that they were somewhat of a social embarrasment, or would you rather have a lovely sexual partner who happened to be completely terrible in bed, but made people terribly envious of you?

Wow, they're both better than my current situation! :P

Honestly, it's a toss up. It's not a dealbreaker if the person is butt-ugly as long as you are into the person underneath the shell.

4. would you rather be the lead singer of an extremely popular but mediocre rock band, or would you rather be the greatest poet who ever lived with a small but dedicated fanbase?

Metallica seems to be doing ok for themselves, so I'd take the first option.

5. you are presented with two doors, but three options. option number one is to open the first door, option number two is to open the second door, option number three is to walk away. behind one door, there is fame, fortune, and fulfillment of all your dreams, and behind the other door is an axe wielding maniac who will chop you to pieces the second you open the door. you dont know which of these things is behind which door. do you choose to open one of these doors or do you choose to walk away?

Walk. I'm not a gambler.

6. if by killing yourself, all your enemies will be destroyed as well, would you kill yourself?

I have no enemies, so I have no reason to kill myself. Now, if I could erase an entire ideal or belief from the planet by doing it - say, scientology - that might be a different story...

7. if you had to take a long road trip with either a vietnam vet with a bad temper who had a gun on his person at all times, or a conservatvie christian who quietly judged everything you did, what would you choose and why?

The Vietnam vet would probably be a more entertaining guy to talk shit with, so I'll take the first option.

8. if you could obtain immortality by stomping a little girl's pet kitten to death before her crying eyes every christmas eve, would you do it?

Ugh. I would feel really unclean afterwards, but I'd do it anyway.

9. if you loved someone with all of your heart and they hated everything about you, would you take ten years off of their life if it meant that they would love you in return?

No. Love isn't an entirely selfish thing, you know.

10. if you died and went to hell, and found that it is every bit as horrible as the christians make it out to be, eternal fire, eternal suffering, eternal pain; but the devil offered you a deal. he said that for every soul on earth that you could tempt towards damnation, you will experience a one year reprieve from the agony of eternal hellfire, would you take his deal?

Probably not. Damning thousands of people to save my own neck isn't really worth it.

My current life. I have no desire to be President of the USA, and I certainly don't want to die in 7 years.

2. would you rather be the greatest genius on earth, but never appreciated in your own lifetime or considered a genius within your own lifetime, but thought of as a mediocre hack after you died?

Genius in my own lifetime. People can think what they want afterwards.

3. would you rather have a sexual partner who was great in bed, but was so ugly that they were somewhat of a social embarrasment, or would you rather have a lovely sexual partner who happened to be completely terrible in bed, but made people terribly envious of you?

Ugly, I suppose.

4. would you rather be the lead singer of an extremely popular but mediocre rock band, or would you rather be the greatest poet who ever lived with a small but dedicated fanbase?

Poet. I'd rather know I was good than be like the Jonas Brothers.

5. you are presented with two doors, but three options. option number one is to open the first door, option number two is to open the second door, option number three is to walk away. behind one door, there is fame, fortune, and fulfillment of all your dreams, and behind the other door is an axe wielding maniac who will chop you to pieces the second you open the door. you dont know which of these things is behind which door. do you choose to open one of these doors or do you choose to walk away?

Toughest question yet. I would walk away.

6. if by killing yourself, all your enemies will be destroyed as well, would you kill yourself?

No. I would be dead, why would I care if my enemies were as well?

7. if you had to take a long road trip with either a vietnam vet with a bad temper who had a gun on his person at all times, or a conservatvie christian who quietly judged everything you did, what would you choose and why?

Conservative Christian. He's not going to attack me, the worst he'll do is make annoying comments.

8. if you could obtain immortality by stomping a little girl's pet kitten to death before her crying eyes every christmas eve, would you do it?

That is horrible. But yes, I would.

9. if you loved someone with all of your heart and they hated everything about you, would you take ten years off of their life if it meant that they would love you in return?

Yes. Why would I want somebody who hated me for an extra 10 years?

10. if you died and went to hell, and found that it is every bit as horrible as the christians make it out to be, eternal fire, eternal suffering, eternal pain; but the devil offered you a deal. he said that for every soul on earth that you could tempt towards damnation, you will experience a one year reprieve from the agony of eternal hellfire, would you take his deal?

I would tempt all the souls I could.

so there they are. im looking forward to your answers, i need something to lol at.

1. my life, right now, is on a positive gradient. so i'm happy. but if my death would make a phenomenal impact (positively) on the world, then i guess i'd have no choice, really. self-sacrifice and all that.

2. if i was to be considered the greatest genius whilst alive, people would expect too much from me and i'd never get anything done. if i was that clever i'd know that people would appreciate it eventually anyway, so i choose to be the genius who is respected when she's dead.

3. if i wasn't attracted to someone i couldn't have sex with them. obviously.

4. greatest poet. because my poems are ridiculous, lol. and i cant sing.

5. walk away. fame and the fulfillment of all my dreams doesn't sound too happy. you know the phrase "be careful what you wish for"? it applies here.

6. a) i don't have any (i think)
b) what would be the point in that? i'd rather stay alive and have to put up with them than be dead and not be anything at all. (obviously, if my enemies were a danger to those i left behind i'd maybe do that self-sacrifice stuff)

7. i think the Christian. because i don't care if people judge me

8. immortality? there's no such thing. i couldn't kill a kitten, i don't even like killing bugs.

9. no. that wouldn't be love.

10. what's one year of reprieve when its all "eternal" this and "eternal" that? doesn't make any sense. no.

Life as The President for 7 yrs, as long as you can gaurantee I'll definately be alive for those 7 yrs. And knowing I'd be dead in 7 yrs I'd do everything in my power to completely screw up the world... likely leading to my assasination.

2. would you rather be the greatest genius on earth, but never appreciated in your own lifetime or considered a genius within your own lifetime, but thought of as a mediocre hack after you died?

Be known as a genius after death, then my work would be more likely to have a lasting effect.

3. would you rather have a sexual partner who was great in bed, but was so ugly that they were somewhat of a social embarrasment, or would you rather have a lovely sexual partner who happened to be completely terrible in bed, but made people terribly envious of you?

Lovely partner, terrible in bed. If you're in a long-term relationship you can always 'train' her in the bedroom

4. would you rather be the lead singer of an extremely popular but mediocre rock band, or would you rather be the greatest poet who ever lived with a small but dedicated fanbase?

The rock band. Don't like poetry, all sounds like wishy washy crap to me.

5. you are presented with two doors, but three options. option number one is to open the first door, option number two is to open the second door, option number three is to walk away. behind one door, there is fame, fortune, and fulfillment of all your dreams, and behind the other door is an axe wielding maniac who will chop you to pieces the second you open the door. you dont know which of these things is behind which door. do you choose to open one of these doors or do you choose to walk away?

Open the first door, if I know there's a chance I have to face an axe wielding maniac I'll likely have my sword with me for defence. I'll make sure he loses a limb before I die.

6. if by killing yourself, all your enemies will be destroyed as well, would you kill yourself?

Why kill my enemies if I can stay alive and torture them instead?

7. if you had to take a long road trip with either a vietnam vet with a bad temper who had a gun on his person at all times, or a conservatvie christian who quietly judged everything you did, what would you choose and why?

The Vietnam vet, he's bound to have some interesting stories. The conservative christian would either die with my hands around their neck or drive me insane before I killed myself. Unless of course it was a very fit female conservative christian whom I could teach my "wicked" ways

8. if you could obtain immortality by stomping a little girl's pet kitten to death before her crying eyes every christmas eve, would you do it?

No, check my avatar. Plus I'd probably get bored of life.

9. if you loved someone with all of your heart and they hated everything about you, would you take ten years off of their life if it meant that they would love you in return?

Sure, why not? We all gotta die sometime

10. if you died and went to hell, and found that it is every bit as horrible as the christians make it out to be, eternal fire, eternal suffering, eternal pain; but the devil offered you a deal. he said that for every soul on earth that you could tempt towards damnation, you will experience a one year reprieve from the agony of eternal hellfire, would you take his deal?

Yeah, take the deal. It'd be a good laugh.

Everyone saying "no" to number 10, I doubt you would feel the same after five SECONDS of torment, let alone an eternity.

3. would you rather have a sexual partner who was great in bed, but was so ugly that they were somewhat of a social embarrasment, or would you rather have a lovely sexual partner who happened to be completely terrible in bed, but made people terribly envious of you?

A lovely sexual partner becasue the bad in bed can be fixed after a few times ;)

4. would you rather be the lead singer of an extremely popular but mediocre rock band, or would you rather be the greatest poet who ever lived with a small but dedicated fanbase?

Great poet cause poetry can actually be good to right to let out ur feelings AT TIMES(not a big fan of poetry either way but there has been times when  just felt like writing down how i felt) Plus i feel the same way as the guy who said he wouldnt want to be another jonas brothers ;)

5. you are presented with two doors, but three options. option number one is to open the first door, option number two is to open the second door, option number three is to walk away. behind one door, there is fame, fortune, and fulfillment of all your dreams, and behind the other door is an axe wielding maniac who will chop you to pieces the second you open the door. you dont know which of these things is behind which door. do you choose to open one of these doors or do you choose to walk away?

Walk away and not risk my life other wise i wouldve became president and then did this so i wouldnt die cause my dreams would be fulfilled and not dying would be one of them ;)

6. if by killing yourself, all your enemies will be destroyed as well, would you kill yourself?

Nope in life there will ALWAYS be obstacles you just have to overcome them

the christian i can deal with them i know how they can be(first hand) :)

8. if you could obtain immortality by stomping a little girl's pet kitten to death before her crying eyes every christmas eve, would you do it?

Yup i would do it every year until i dotn wanna be immortal anymore and want to die plus i would get her a new kitty better then the last year every year to make up for killing her last kitty ;)

9. if you loved someone with all of your heart and they hated everything about you, would you take ten years off of their life if it meant that they would love you in return?

I dont really know but it really depends cause i know that i can move on and find another girl who i would love just as much

Actually yeah cause if i can get thousands of people then i will have thousands of years out of that hell hole(literally) :)

Or we're just not assholes/we are Christian. I'm working hard at not ending up there since, as a Christian, I do believe there is a Hell, and I know that I don't want to spend the rest of forever there. If I do end up there though, why would I want to make other people suffer because of my mistakes?

EDIT: Random thought; I wonder what DMJ would think of the kitten one...

Doesn't matter if you're christian. It could be the islamic hell.

Here's a simpler one: If you could kill a person you've never met to save your own life, would you?
