Either you're a better person than me, or a better liar. I would.

No, I'm not a liar. I'd feel terrible knowing that there's a good chance the person I killed would have had a family/people who cared for him/her, and I couldn't live with myself. The only way I can imagine myself killing someone is in self defence or if they manage to make me so angry that I snap (which would take a lot). Even then, I'd still feel bad about it. I guess I'm just not a killer.
| That Guy said: 1. Yeah, there's really no benefit to being the president in my book, so I would probably just stay the way I am. If the question were "being jessica alba's husband" then i'd have to think about it. 2. greatest genious on earth, who cares what the world thinks? 3. I'd take the hot chick. Sorry but realistically how often does sex happen anyways? Out of the 24 hours of your day, how many hours of it is devoted to sex? Probably not as much as you'd think (or as much as you'd like). Okfine so the love making might not be the greatest but what about the other 90% of your life? 4. No, I would not want to be Fred Durst. I'll work with being an obscure poet. 5. I'd walk away. If I had a coinflip's chance in dying, its not worth it. 6. I don't have many enemies. And if I did, its not like they are evil dictators or masterminds who have doomsday devices or anything. My enemies are like "man, that guy is a douche" and they really aren't worth dying over. 7. Vietnam Vet. Especially on a long road trip, I would feel safer with an angry armed vet at my side If I get into a situation where get mugged or something. 8. I would have like 5 years ago, but now as a pet owner, I'd probably say no. That's just messed up. 9. No, plenty of fish in the sea, bro. 10. yes. I'd tempt every single douchebag out there in the world. I'd rather take this deal than the stupid kitten one. |
i like your answer for number seven. i have never thought of it that way before.
The only thing I don't understand is why anyone would take the deal for #10. It's eternal. Having a 1 year break every now and then would not make up for it in the end because eventually your days off would run out and you'd be back to eternal hell. Eternity has no beginning or end, so even if you got 100 years after dying that you didn't have to suffer, you'd just be delaying the inevitable. I'd say no because why would I ever want to purposely make other people suffer for my own false security?
| Kantor said: Everyone saying "no" to number 10, I doubt you would feel the same after five SECONDS of torment, let alone an eternity. |
seriously dude. hahaha.

youre reasoning is correct, but the question is meant to suit our own perception of reality. we cant imagine an existance in which time is not present. this would be eternity. but if you think of eternity in the sense of year after year after year and it never stops, then the question becomes managable to answer. basically, if you tempt somebody, youre off the hook for a year. when that year is up, you pretty much have the choice again.. and again and again and again.
i know a lot of these questions dont make sense talking about immortality and eternity and all, but they are designed to make you think and learn about what kind of choices you would make given the situation.

Well, what if you could tempt people forever and never have to suffer?
| angrypoolman said: 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? President, probably. i'm a megalomaniac.
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? The latter. If I'm just "considered a genius", there is a chance that they are right later, and I wasn't. It would be horrible to be an actual genius, like living together with 7 billion retards.
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? Others called the second option "shallow". I disagre with that. Choosing great sex would be just as shallow. I go with the first, too.
And I don't vant to make others envious, if it's not necessary 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. Crowd, loud music, and such things are totally unappealing 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 fulfillsment 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? I would risk. 6. if by killing yourself, all your enemies will be destroyed as well, would you kill yourself? No, not even if I would have actual mortal enemies, like a superhero has. 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? Christian. Criticism doesn't bother me that much. 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? Actually, currently only the fear from punishment stops me from stomping little girls. I'm dead serious. My avatar doesn't just mean that I like Dexter. I don't have anything against cats, but immortality is promising, so yes, I would stomp it. 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, changing their free will would take away their personality, essentially who they are. 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 just get used to pain, maybe even start enjoying it. |

Well that would have to rely on the longevity of the earth. If we are going by Chrisitan belief, the world will eventually end, so then at that point there would be no more people to tempt and thus you would still eventually begin your damnation and have to suffer it eternally.
