Would you rather? game

[notoppings]

This is a simple game about choice. Rules are simple, just answer the question posed by the member in front of you, then you offer up a choice to the next member. Anything goes, funny serious or spiritual, no restrictions. If we are lucky maybe someone will pose a question that will spin off into it's own thread.

A sample of play: Would you rather eat beef or chicken?

I would rather eat chicken, it is better for you and doesn't stay undigested in your intestines.

Well here goes, I am going to start out with a simple one.


Q: Would you rather be stranded on an island with person who is dumb but compliant to your lust? Or with a person who is mentally stimulating but is undesirable?

[rewhu]

I’d choose the mentally stimulating person. In the long run I’d yearn for conversation over sex. Also, my level of physical attraction is directly related to my level of mental attraction. Personality, intelligence, etc. is a bigger turn on than body type. Also, having a smart companion would increase the odds of survival / rescue.

Although, I might consider the person who is “compliant to [my] lust” based on the assumption that even dumb people can be educated. I suppose if I were to be stranded somewhere with no hope of rescue it might be nice to have a project.





rewhu added to this post, 3 minutes and 17 seconds later...

Oops, forgot my question. Gimme a minute.

Ok...

Would you rather be picked as a contest for Jeopardy, knowing that during the show you’d be competing against two returning champions? Or would you rather be picked as a contest for Family Feud, knowing that the following people would serve as your “family”: Jeffrey Dahmer, Charles Manson, Ted Bundy, John Gacy, Ed Gein?

[le Duc]

Gimme the champion repeats. No stress, since I'd be far and away the underdog. And mentally stimulating, too, unlike... many other things. Wow, what a family, though.

Would you rather be a cowboy who's not-so-good at the fast draw in the old American West, or a kid who's a bit slow-of-foot in a 1950's rough-and-tumble inner city scene?

[notoppings]

I think I would be the kid in the 50's, that way if things got to hard for me I could always stay inside and have my parents to hide me. Also in the 50's at least I would have access to toilet paper, I don't think I could have lived in a time where toilet paper wasn't available.


Q: Would you rather go to prison for the rest of your life, without the possibility of parole, or would you prefer to be executed for your crime?

[Airius]

With those circumstances, whatever I did, my parents would be proud. ;)
Executed for the crime. Hopefully without having to spend too much time on death row.


Would you rather have chronic insomnia or narcolepsy?

[athenian200]

Would you rather have chronic insomnia or narcolepsy?

Chronic insomnia. I'd be able to hide it better. Falling asleep in public would be embarrassing.

Would you rather drink Pepsi or Coke?

(I should get an award for asking the least original question.) ;)

[Tabemashoo]

Pepsi. Definitely. I hate Coke.

Would you rather die from burning or freezing?

[le Duc]

I've heard hypothermia actually feels comfortable in its last moments. No such luck with the inferno, so I'll take the chill.

Would you rather get bad directions and miss a great party or show up on time to a really lousy party? (What a question for an INTJ board...)

[Jakalwarrior]

Hmm... driving around lost or being bored at a lousy party...

I will take the lousy party and leave it ;) less money spent on gas and less frustration... that or get really drunk. Even a lousy party can be okish if I am off in my own little world.

[SiMey]

Would you rather be the person who forgot to ask a question and killed the thread?

or

Would you rather be the person who lurked around the forum and made fun of the person who killed the thread?

[le Duc]

Lurking is always safer. I learned that on another thread where they tried to kill ME!

If trapped in a war-ravaged situation, would you rather attempt suicide and painfully fail, or be captured by thugs and brutally murdered?

(Sorry to stick with the dark topic of death. It popped into my head.)

[le Duc]

Hmm. My talk of death seems to have killed the tread. Alas. It's always a question I've wondered about, though, and I have no idea what I'd do. (But since it's my question, I don't have to answer it, right?)

Let's try a resuscitative question:

Picture two stimulating intellectual debates. Would you rather win a debate on a topic you don't particularly care about, or hold your own but come up short on a topic near and dear?

[NephilimAzrael]

RE first question:
I would rather be murdered brutally, so long as I was fighting back. No surrender.
RE second question:
Come up short on a topic I am invested in.

My turn,
Is it better to;
a) serve in heaven
or
b)rule in hell

[Tabemashoo]

Serve in heaven. I don't care to be in charge of anything. Interesting question though.

Would you rather be gifted with extreme intelligence or extreme creativity?

[Dragontongue]

Extreme intelligence. I can always get by with moderate creativity. (That was hard!)

Would you rather learn one thing in depth, or many things glancingly?

[NephilimAzrael]

TOUGH!!!
One thing in depth

If you fought your dark side, who would win?

[Tocsin]

FOUL! Non-sequiter!

This is about choosing, not clairvoyance.

How can you know which side would win until you have fought the battle?


Next. Would you rather eat something that tastes good (but is unhealthy), or something that is good for your health (but doesn't taste good)?

****

Oops, I thought you meant "the" dark side.

Hope I would have won over "my dark side," but then again, me and "my dark side" would still both be me, so still a non-sequiter.... unless I had a split personality... which we don't... oops... which I don't.

[sam988]

Health always comes first. I would even choose this option if it had to be a lifetime decision.


Would you rather be abducted by aliens from a much more advanced civilization (that only abducted you after they asked you if you wanted to and you said yes, although you don't know what they're going to do with you) or stay here on earth and die (because if you got abducted maybe you would become immortal, if the aliens are immortal and are willing to make you so too) as just one more out of the 6.5 billion relatively insignificant beings that we humans currently are?

[ScottH]

Give me the experience of the abduction.

Being prone to bad luck, there would be painful experiments and no immortality, but I crave newness and experience.

Would you rather:
1) Make more money at an arbitrary job, or
2) Make far less but really enjoy the work?

[NephilimAzrael]

Make far less but really enjoy the work.

Would you save five of your friends from a fire or one member of your family?

[JustMel]

It would depend on which family member. My kids would come before my friends. My friends would come before my parents or siblings.


Would you rather live with an athiest or someone who is devout in their religion

[NephilimAzrael]

Atheist

Which is more important,
Expression of your opinions
OR
Formulation of your ideas

[Lupin]

Formulation of my ideas is by far more important as I'll be honing and honing them, whittling them down to the best ones but haemorraging the less desirable ones as I progress. There's always someone out there with the right skills and ingenuity to pick up what looks like scraps and make it into something real and potentially lucrative. Have no problem with that but I would have a problem in just expressing opinions like an armchair philosopher.....where does that actually get anyone? Who's going to listen? My limbs would atrophy and I'd never get visitors so that's a no no.

Would you rather be truly, madly, deeply in love with someone in a distance relationship spanning 1000 miles, who you see only every 3 weeks with only a possibility of making it permanent someday, than serial dating in your own locality still searching for 'the one' but knowing once you'd found them they'd be on your doorstep?

[le Duc]

I actually did something similar to the former: married a girl after knowing her for three years, but we'd only spent five weeks total together in person. We were 2,500 miles apart. Our 5th anniversary is next month, and we're still best friends. I'd do it again, too.

Would you rather have to walk a mile empty-handed with rocks in your shoes or fifty miles well-dressed but carrying a load equal to your weight?

[jlines]

1 mile over 50? too easy - ill take 15 mins of discomfort over 12.5 hours any day.

experience everything and end up bored, or experience nothing and be thrilled by anything

[iuniperus]

Experience nothing and be thrilled by everything.

Be given a million dollars upfront or receive 100 dollars a week until it reaches a million?

[NephilimAzrael]

100 each week

Win an argument by truth void of logic?
or
by logic void of truth?

[le Duc]

Truth void of logic is great... but I don't think it's possible to win an argument that way.

Live centuries ago with limited luxury but with much to explore and discover or today with modern conveniences and nowhere new?

[NephilimAzrael]

Centuries ago. And rule with an iron fist, muhahahaha.
In war which how would you prefer to die:
Die on your feet by a hail of bullets taking down others with you
or
by contest of sniping with a challenging rival where both are fatally wounded.

[sam988]

by contest of sniping. At least then i would know until the end that i had the chance to survive if i just killed the rival, instead of having to go matrix to dodge the bullets.



Would you rather be deaf or have an IQ of 80?

[NephilimAzrael]

WHAT? oh deaf by far. There would be little difference to my life, considering the knowledge of sign I already possess, and the deaf members of my family would talk to me with intelligence and I would understand.

Would you prefer to have a child who was:
A genius and isolated by his peers
or
Was popular with an average IQ

[Hctim]

Genius definately. Being a genius would mean they would enjoy knowledge and the search for it and could comfortably spend their time with books and the like, so they mightn't even notice they're unpopular.

Would you rather:
Sleep around
or
Marry

[NephilimAzrael]

Marry. Saves the excess energy expenditure, unless it happened to be a very sexual marriage, in which case Im fucked. ;)

would you kill for survival
or
Kill for advancement?

[Hctim]

Only ever for survival, it'd be hard enough deciding if it was worth it, and only if they were hurting me or someone, i'd never kill an innocent.

Become rich by inventing a new weapon
or
Gain nothing by inventing some way to extinguish poverty

[Seppuku Savant]

Gain nothing by inventing a method to extinguish poverty. It might give my life meaning.

Would you put yourself on a raft that can only hold one adult
or
the two small children on the sinking ship

[Dragontongue]

Oh, hard. I'd like to say I'd save the kids, but since they probably wouldn't be able to survive on a raft until they were rescued... I'd save myself.

Of course, if they were obnoxious children, the choice would be easier.

Would you rather have extreme intelligence, or a superpower? (Your choice of any superpower.)

[le Duc]

Become rich by inventing a new weapon
or
Gain nothing by inventing some way to extinguish poverty

Didn't Nobel kinda try to do both?

Would you rather have extreme intelligence, or a superpower? (Your choice of any superpower.)

I'll take the superpower. I'd like superhuman strength... I think I'm already smart enough that this would be the best combination for me.

Would you rather fall off a ten-story building onto concrete, or out of a low-flying aircraft into water, but in the middle of the ocean?

[Linwenilid]

Gosh! No idea. Let's see: the aircraft, because there's, at least, a minimum chance that I'd be rescued (I hope!)

Would you rather be in a long-term, stable relationship with someone okay, or in an on-and-off, unstable relationship with someone exceptional?

[iuniperus]

Unstable with the exceptional person.

Would you rather lose both sets of pinkie, ring, and middle fingers or both of your thumbs?

[sam988]

I'd keep my thumbs.



Would you rather be born in a very rich family yet your parents don't give you attention and don't know how to raise you or be born in a poor family yet your parents give you all the attention you need and know how to raise you?

[dandylion]

I'd pick the poor family that knows how to raise me. I've found that even if I have lots of stuff and money, I can still be unhappy.

Would you rather sing alone in a packed karaoke bar in your local city where everyone who hears you sing knows you and will see you every day or would you rather sing a duet in front of 5000 people you don't know? (You're sober in both scenarios.)

[sam988]

Sing in the bar with those who know me; my voice is very good.


A light one now: would you rather be a rock star or your favorite sport's star?

[sam988]

All it takes is an easy, light and non-suffering one and no one answers. You bunch of masochists.. anyway, just to keep the game, i choose rock star.

Now let me pose a question that i'm sure you masochists will want to answer. Let me think.. ok this one:


Would you rather throw yourself and save a little girl that's about to be hit by a car and, because now you got partially hit, lose "X" (you pick the limit of what you would be willing to lose to save her, like just some fingers, or an entire leg, etc. you do have to lose at least three fingers of the hand -although you can choose for it to be 2 fingers of one hand and one finger of the other- in this option), or just see her getting hit by the car and die and know that you could have saved her?

[dandylion]

^Hey, I was going to answer rock star, but whatever. :P

I would save the girl and risk losing some body parts. If the scenario was playing out in real life, it would all happen too quickly for me to consider putting myself before the girl. I would simply see that she's in danger and try to get her out of the way as soon as possible. This is one of the situations in which I would act without weighing out my options first.


Would you rather have Santa Claus or fairies exist?

[Hctim]

Fairies, Santa isn't so much associated with other fantasy creatures, where if fairies were real a whole other world might exist.

Would you rather have money to buy your child everything, but never be able to spend time with them
or
Spend all the time you want with them, but rarely buy them items they need

[sam988]

Fairies, Santa isn't so much associated with other fantasy creatures, where if fairies were real a whole other world might exist.

Would you rather have money to buy your child everything, but never be able to spend time with them
or
Spend all the time you want with them, but rarely buy them items they need

First option. If i'm capable of buying my child everything, it means i'm rich, and that's what i want to be. I currently (meaning, it can change) don't care for having children and for all i know my child could drown in his toys and i wouldn't care.



If your country was to be invaded by a much more powerful country and you're on the army and total anihilation is at sight, would you rather act as a spy for the invading country and survive or die defending your beloved yet doomed country?

[le Duc]

I couldn't live with myself as a turncoat: that, to me, is one of the ultimate wrongs.

Money, power, health, happiness, but a strange feeling that you're missing something... or complete inner peace while struggling (at some level) to survive?

[NephilimAzrael]

Complete inner peace while striving to survive.

Cure Cancer?
or
Cure Aids?

[Dragontongue]

Cure cancer.

Be a slave for life (no chance of escape or release)
or
be killed resisting?

[sam988]

be a slave for life. to me nothing, and i mean NOTHING, is worth dying for.


be able to feel intensely, on your ups and downs in life, or feel a narrower spectrum of emotions, making you virtually immune to depression, but also to deeper levels of love?

[dandylion]

Feel intensely. That's what life is.

Would you rather discover 4 beautiful, habitable planets or would you rather discover 1 planet on which somehow magic existed?

[rewhu]

Would you rather discover 4 beautiful, habitable planets or would you rather discover 1 planet on which somehow magic existed?


I would choose to discover the four planets. While the existence of magic is tempting, I don’t trust humankind to not abuse said magic. Also, the idea that magic could be used to affect people’s free will, even in a positive light, is just too creepy. And anyhow, the discovery of four habitable planets would be mind-blowingly fantastic. Think of all the research and space travel to be done!

-------------------------------------

Would you rather work as the personal lab assistant of Josef Mengele for one month in the early 1940s, or would you rather work as Barney the Dinosaur for a full year in the 1990s?

Keep the following in mind: as the lab assistant your duties include things like injecting small children with what you know to be poison. As the loveable TV character you will have to wear the Barney suit for a minimum of 8 hours a day for show tapings and live appearances. As Barney you will have to sing with joy, dance with zeal, and spread your news of love to everyone you meet.

[ClaireMD]

Duh! Hand me my leather lab assistant's apron!

Would you rather work inside with no window or outside with no roof?





ClaireMD added to this post, 65 minutes and 57 seconds later...

Okay, okay; I guess I really killed that one with banality. Let's see...

Would you rather be forced to teach kindergarten or be forced to work naked in your present job? (A no-brainer for me.)

[aok]

Teach kindergarden.

Would you rather be blind or deaf?

[hullolife]

Teach kindergarden.

Would you rather be blind or deaf?

deaf.

Would you rather be a parrot for the government or a parrot for a huge corporation?

[Liason]

parrot for a huge corporation. They're less corrupted

Would you rather be mauled by a bear until you died or eat two giant holes(one in each cheek) and live?

[Nikita]

Live.


Would you rather be rich and famous, or poor and powerful?

[auriga vega]

Rich and famous, because if you're rich and famous, you're also powerful.

Would you rather be with the nicest but ugliest person on earth, or the meanest most beautiful one?

[aok]

The meanest most beautiful one


Would you rather be a couch potato or a book worm?

[Liason]

book worm. if i was a couch potato i'd turn fat.

would you rather eat monkey brain or frog brain?

[aok]

Monkey brain. Monkeys have bigger, better brains.


Donkey Kong or Frogger?

[Nikita]

Donkey Kong


Pepsi or Coca Cola?

[aok]

Pepsi


Diet or regular?

[hullolife]

Regular... make that neither

:)

Would you rather invent a new communications method or travel means?

[aok]

Travel


By sea or air?

[rahdam]

By air.

Would you rather have loved and lost or never loved at all?

[Nikita]

Never loved at all.


Would you rather be alone in a survival situation for an extended period of time in Antarctica, the Amazon Rainforest, or the Kalahari Desert?

[rahdam]

the rainforest, because I stand the greatest chance to survive.
And I might be "lucky" enough to have the chance to wrestle an anaconda (lol).

Would you rather be beautiful and brainless or homely and wise?

[Nikita]

Homely and wise.


Would you rather, assume you are a man, be born into a brothel or be born into a drug cartel?

[rahdam]

Drug cartel.
It'll be MY drug cartel in a few years.

Would you rather live in El Paso or Ciudad Juarez?

[Nikita]

hmm I think I'd rather be under U.S. jurisdiction, El Paso


Would you rather be drunk or high?

[rahdam]

High. Being high can dramatically increase my aptitude at certain physical activites.

Have you ever moved beyond pot in the rough heirarchy of illicit drugs?

[Nikita]

I've never even tried pot or any other drugs, actually I've never even tried a cigarette. Drunk twice, never again, is the extent of my exploration of mood altering or other substances.


Would you rather have pyrokinesis or teleportation abilities?

[rahdam]

Teleportation. Imagine all the hostages I could save. (I've actually thought about this before).

Would you rather be like water or stone? (In the spirit of Bruce Lee)

[Nikita]

"Nothing is as soft as water, yet who can withstand the raging flood?"


Would you rather be a Guantanamo Bay inmate, or be sold into sex slavery?

[rahdam]

Guantanamo Bay inmate.
My body is my own.

Would you rather live a whore or die a virgin?

[Nikita]

Die a Virgin


Would you rather die sky diving or bungee jumping?

[rahdam]

Sky diving. I've pondered that situation before, and I'm pretty sure I would have no fear skydiving if my parachute failed to malfunction. The more restrictive scale of bungee jumping makes fear more likely to arise.

Would you rather remain earthbound or become an astronaut, only to have your spaceship shoot past the moon into outerspace indefinitely (thrusters are out of fuel)?

[Nikita]

Geez that's tough. There's a part of me that screams astronaut lost in space for the answer, so I'll just have to go with that.


Would you rather be as strong as 10 men, but without the muscular physique, or have a muscular, chiseled physique and struggle lifting a TV?

[rahdam]

Strong as 10 men
I could armbar people with ZERO technique
Which would be FUCKING AWESOME!
(You have no idea, this is a DREAM).

Would you rather be a midget or a giant?

[Tragic Hero]

Strong as ten men. Travel around the country challenging people to arm wrestles and hustle all their money away.

I would rather be a giant.

Would you rather lose a leg or an arm?

[Nikita]

Arm.

Would you rather be deaf and blind or paralyzed from the neck down?

[rahdam]

Ever seen million dollar baby?

Would you rather undergo an operation that may grant immortality, but may also kill you immediately, or remain mortal?

[Nikita]

Everybody's gotta die sometime, why not go for the unknown and try out the experiment? If it fails your mortality is simply affirmed, but if it works just imagine what you could see of the world and its future!


Would you rather be a movie star, a television star, or a rock star?

[rahdam]

Movie stars have the most clout I suppose.

Would you rather be the President, or his closest advisor?

[Nikita]

President


Would you rather be hunted by an assassin or MS-13?

[rahdam]

MS-13.
I can best fight that which I can see.

If you saw a relative murdered, but you knew that by telling the police, you yourself would be murdered, but the defendent would be charged guilty, would you rather report the crime to the police or remain silent?

[Nikita]

If by remaining silent I could exact my own vigilante vengeance, then silence, otherwise I'd report it.


Would you rather be famous for inventing the septic tank, or for inventing hemorrhoid ointment (assuming there were no profit differences)?

[rahdam]

Hemorrhoid ointment. Both inventions help people, but I like the more personal aspect of the hemorrhoid ointment on the individual level.

Would you rather consume well water or bottle water?

[Nikita]

bottled water


Would you rather, after using the restroom, wipe with poison ivy or sandpaper?

[rahdam]

Sandpaper.

Would you rather not wipe, or use the seashells?

[Nikita]

Seashells would be interesting....


Would you rather your date smell like rotten fish or rotten eggs?

[rahdam]

What's to say she doesn't already smell like rotten fish ;) ?

Would you rather now shower for a month or not brush your teeth for a month?

[Nikita]

eww hmm...not brush my teeth, I could always chew gum (and I hope she does NOT smell like rotten fish, lol *shudder*)


Would you rather pitch or catch? (I am NOT talking about baseball...comment me for an explanation, too graphic to post full out.)

[rahdam]

Pitch I suppose.

Would YOU rather pitch or catch? (assuming all necessary manipulatives are available)

[Nikita]

Pitch, hands down.


Would you rather be a hermit or ignored?

[rahdam]

Ignored.

Would you rather go to bed or stay up postwhoring?

[Nikita]

lol postwhoring, but I really need to go to bed in a few minutes, waking up in less than 6 hours


Would you rather tell the truth and be reviled by the world, or live a lie and be famous and celebrated?

[rahdam]

Tell the Truth. No contest.

Would you rather live in eternal sunshine or eternal darkness?

[Nikita]

I do love the dark, but I think I'd miss the sun more, I feel like I can drink it in sometimes. But then the dark feels warm and safe, and there seems to be more infinite darkness than infinite sunshine since the sun is bound to die at some point....


Would you rather be immortal and feel all of the pain of the universe, or die within the year and never feel pain again?

[rahdam]

Immortal, All the pain of the universe, particularly if I am absorbing that pain from others.

Would you rather be Aphrodite or Athena?

[Nikita]

Athena (Artemis would be my first choice, though, of the Greek pantheon)


Would you rather be Apollo or Eros?

[rahdam]

Apollo. I could not stand to be promiscuous.

Ares or Mars? (dynamic choice here!)

[Nikita]

but they're the same, lol, only one's greek and the other's roman...Ares, "god of bloodlust" since Mars is more strictly battle/military oriented, whereas Ares is, in essence, "slaughter personified".


Would you rather marry Angelina Jolie or Jennifer Aniston?

[rahdam]

I don't know either of them. I prefer Jennifer Aniston from an aesthetic viewpoint.

Do you think marriage is for you?

[Nikita]

Yes and no. If I met the right person, I would get married if it is what would be right for us, but it's not something I seek or need to feel complete. I think it should be about truly sharing 2 individual lives and having a partner, not a maid or a handyman.


Would you rather want children but be unable to conceive, or have a child who dies of leukemia at age 5?

[rahdam]

Unable to conceive, there are already plenty of kids in the world that need good homes.

Would you rather get your tubes tied, or order your hypothetical husband to get a vasectomy?

[Nikita]

lol I wouldn't order a husband to do anything (nor would one order me to do anything, successfully at least) - I think it should be mutual, both should do it - though there is a kind of built in adultery detector in a man NOT getting a vasectomy


Would you rather be circumsized at age 21 without anesthetics, or watch your son be circumsized at 21 without anesthetics?

[rahdam]

VERY interesting question.
I would take that on myself.

Would you rather be executed by firing squad or lethal injection?

[Nikita]

Firing squad, I prefer a more active death


Would you rather burn alive (until you die, of course, assuming smoke wouldn't kill you first) or slowly drown?

[Tragic Hero]

That is not an easy question to answer. I'd rather drown I think. Smelling your own burning flesh .......

Would you rather win an Olympic Marathon or win an Oscar for Best Supporting Actor/Actress.

[Nikita]

Oscar, I'm more arts oriented.


Would you rather design and figure out how to build a house from scratch, by yourself, with no instructions, or, for 10 years, painstakingly draft blueprints for 20 houses that never get built?

[Stormy]

Draft blueprints for 10 years. I don't think I would be able to build my own home from scratch. It would be an awful reck :) I enjoy drafting anyway.

Would you rather have your arm (either one, your preference) or your leg (either one, your preference) cut off?

[rahdam]

Arm.

Would you rather have a family of your own but be unable to provide for them, or not have a family of your own?

[Sliderule]

Not

Would you rather wrestle Randy Savage or Cloris Leachman?

To view links or images in this forum your post count must be 15 or greater. You currently have 0 posts. celebrity%20eye%20candy_1157579865891_221428D.jpg

Pick wisely.

[Nikita]

Cloris would be a breeze to take down, which makes Savage the choice. I don't like an easy fight.


Would you rather pick cotton or mill flour?

[aok]

Mill flour

Would you rather pick flowers or your teeth?

[kubrickfan]

Flowers. Less painful.

Would you rather go through hell or go through heaven ?

[Nikita]

Hell, at least then I'd appreciate the result more.


Would you rather have, widely disseminated, a photograph of you picking your nose, or picking a wedgie?

[rahdam]

Picking a wedgie. As the camera would have to be positioned behind me for such a photograph, I would be unidentifiable to all but those who know the topography of my buttocks.

Would you rather skydive or base jump?

[Nikita]

sky dive (the camera would get your face if you were looking to see if you were getting it... :p)


Would you rather break every bone in your body through some random act or intentionally break every bone in your best friend's body? (considering the consequences of each)

[rahdam]

I haven't broken anything, but I've forced some big hyperextensions on training partners who won't give up. I love to win, but I always feel like shit when they are holding their arm the way they are. On the flip side, a good friend of mine tore my miniscus in training a couple years ago. I couldn't walk for about a week, and the injury took years to heal fully, but I never had a problem with it, or him. Granted, not a broken bone, but a similar structural injury. I would choose to have my own bones broken. Of course, this would likely then lead to the Million Dollar Baby question if ALL bones were broken.

Would you rather save the life of one person or improve the lives in a significant way for 1 million people?

[Nikita]

1 million


Would you rather start a company or run an established one?

[aok]

Start


If you were able to retire, would you work to make more money or just live off the money you had?

[rahdam]

I would live off the money I had and donate my time to charity.

Would you rather have a son or a daughter?

[Nikita]

Either, it really doesn't matter to me. But, if I were going to have more than one child, I would want them all to be boys. A house full of girls would drive me bonkers.


Would you rather give child birth naturally (no drugs) after a 20 hour labor or run a marathon with pneumonia and asthma?

[rahdam]

I'd rather run a marathon with pneumonia and asthma.
I couldn't bear to undergo the surgeries necessary for me to give child birth. ;)

Assume you in the late stages of pregnancy when doctors tell you that if you have the baby, you will die as the baby is born. Would you rather live or give life?

[Nikita]

If I knew the child would have a home and loving support, I'd choose to die and let the baby live.


Would you rather take one homeless man under your wing, clean him up, educate him, and find him a job so that he can support himself, or donate $10,000 to a non-profit cancer research organization?

[ssrprotege]

Donate.

Let's say you are facing death penalty. But there's a "generous" offer: you can choose to have either cyanide or potassium hydroxide (which are highly toxic). Which one would you choose?

[rahdam]

My knowledge of chemistry tells me to take the cyanide. Better to have the electron transport chain shut down and die from lack of respiration than to melt in a base bath. I am assuming that by cyanide you mean hydrogen cyanide, and that in both cases, the concentration is sufficiently high.

Would you rather die by base bath or acid bath?

[rahdam]

In the interest of giving this life again, I'll suck it up and say that I would prefer to be deprotonated to death if given the option between deprotonation and protonation.

Would you rather live in:
A. A log cabin somewhere in Aspen?
B. A mansion somewhere in Wiscansin?
C. A condo all the way up in Toronto?
D. A beach house right on the edge of Costa Rica?
Bonus points if you can name the reference!

[Nikita]

D. Beach house in Costa Rica.
And I can't name the reference. I'm too tired to look it up.


Would you rather gut a large animal while it was still moving and hold its still-beating heart in your hand, or hold and sniff two handfuls of used and bloody tampons?

[rahdam]

Bodily fluids are not particularly imposing.
I could not have been more than 8 years old when I was at my Grandpa's lake house playing with a reasonably powerful BB gun he had in the garage. I saw a bird about forty feet away, and I asked if I could shoot it. Grandpa told me it would be alright; he revealed to me years later that he only agreed because he figured I would miss by a mile and the bird would fly off. When I hit the bird, he did not even flinch. Grandpa walked over to the bird, which was still alive, and put it down. It was a strong lesson for many reasons; there is no reason to gut a live animal.

Would you rather be a ninja or a pirate?

[Nikita]

Ninja.


Would you rather eat a peanut butter and mayo sandwich or a bowl of anchovies and ice cream?

[rahdam]

Neither of those are particularly useful options.
Mayo is probably worse for you than ice cream, and peanut butter/anchovies are largely a wash, depending on what I need at the time. I'd go for the ice cream and anchovies.

Would you rather be Captain Ahab or Moby Dick?

[Nikita]

hmm I've never read Moby Dick, but I'll go for the whale, at least then I'd get to live in an ocean and breathe underwater.


Would you rather be caught...loving yourself...by your mother or your father?

[rahdam]

Father! No homo!

Would you rather...ahem..."love yourself" while conscious, or allow your body to "love itself" while you are asleep? Because physiologically, one of these MUST happen! (Note for females: pretend you are male.)

[Nikita]

hmm...well asleep you'd basically just increase the number of times you do that, so bring on the night time maleness, lol


Would you rather watch a Lifetime Movie marathon in one sitting or watch Terms of Endearment, Bridges of Madison County, and Ya-Ya Sisterhood in one sitting?

[rahdam]

Lifetime movie marathon. My testosterone levels might drop dangerously close to zero by the end of it though :(

Would you rather be an Alien or a Predator?

[Nikita]

hmm well based on the characters no idea (never seen the movie(s))...based on name alone, Predator


Would you rather be named Alouicious or Bertha (assume this would apply to either gender and it could never be changed or shortened)?

[rahdam]

Bertha sounds, ironically, more manly.

Would you rather be named April or Jeffrey? (assume this would apply...etc etc.)

[Nikita]

Jeffrey.


Would you rather be superman, batman, or spiderman?

[rahdam]

Superman has the ability to literally save the world.
You could defuse ANY situation with his powers, which are akin to invincibility and teleportation (faster than a speeding bullet). To choose batman or spiderman here would be to make a serious error.

Would you rather be named Benjamin or Greta?

[Nikita]

Greta.

Would you rather be named Wanda or Wally?

[rahdam]

Wally! (This is hilarious, it's an inside joke I have with someone)

[Nikita]

lol still Greta


Would you rather be named Ben Dover or Amanda Hugginkiss?

[rahdam]

I'd take Ben Dover. I think its the more heterosexual choice of the two. Albeit, in a relative sense.

Would you rather be an expert with a .50cal Desert Eagle or throwing knives?

[Nikita]

(LOL unless you're in prison)

throwing knives, I think the aim and skill required would make me more versatile

Would you rather drive a Veyron or a Rolls Royce?

[rahdam]

If I'm going to be a pretentious asshole, I'm going to go all out and go for the Bugatti Veyron. And I laughed really, really hard when I saw the picture going around the internet with the douchebag who crashed one into a telephone pole or a tree, I forget which. There is also something rediculously awesome about 7 mpg, but I can't put my finger on it.

Would you rather drive a Geo Metro or an Abrams tank?

[Nikita]

The tank! Is there even a question?!


Would you rather crash a Bugatti Veyron or a Rolls Royce?

[rahdam]

I'd rather crush a Bugatti Veyron, for the same reason; if I'm going to be a pretentious asshole, I'm going to be a pretentious asshole!

Would you rather have AIDS or be suicidally unhappy with your life?

[Nikita]

Suicidally unhappy.

[Nikita]

Good one, hmm...part of me wants to say burning, though another part would say freezing because the pain would be much less.

[dalidaisy]

Donkey through a canyon.

Would you rather go sky diving or scuba diving?

[MaJor LeAguE]

Would you rather be stuck in a room with Oprah or Polly Shore?

[tp6626]

Don't know who either of those are, but I like the name Polly more, so I'll go with that.

This one was on Jimmy Carr's new DVD which I watched last night.

Would you rather:
A. Fuck your Dad to save your Mum's life.
B. Let her die.

He left it open to males and females alike, and picked on a guy in the audience for an answer - whose parents were both there with him! How harsh is that?

[dalidaisy]

Let her die

Would you rather skip or hop?

[kubrickfan]

Would you rather be completely ignorant or painfully aware?

[rara avis]

Love is the basis of it all.

Would you rather a man express his affection physically or verbally (physically is not to be taken as sexual here)
