Q: If you are a girl, will you talk to guys about menstration? If you are a guy, do you get nervous when girls do talk about it? Not at all. Although I never knew that once you marry the cycle lasts for 3 or more weeks out of the month. Don't post this tonight, Al, I have a headache.

A. I expect my physical shell to re-unite with the earth, and yet my sense of self to remain, that same sense of self I have when I use metaphysical meditation, the sense of myself beyond matter and thought.
Q. Do you love yourself?

A: Yes, but it's not reciprocal.

A: I would answer "They're both good ideas, actually."
Q: Should people who use apostrophes for plurals be shot, or should they be slowly tortured to death?

Q: Should people who use apostrophes for plurals be shot, or should they be slowly tortured to death? A. Neither, they've been sent to remind you that you just gotta let some sh!t go. (Apparently you way overestimate our concern with this issue) Q. Do creative writer's need editor's? (how about those apostrophe's? ) Sorry, I way over estimate my comedic ability.

A. Yes - the power of the idea and the expression of the language is what I look to the writer for. Small matters like optimum construction and careful editing where there is repetition should not dilute the sense of it all. Leave that to a technician rather than an artist..
Q. Are you prepared to sacrifice some personal freedoms in order for the State to keep you safe?

Small matters like optimum construction and careful editing where there is repetition should not dilute the sense of it all. Leave that to a technician rather than an artist.. Even though, for the most part, my punctuation and grammar qualify as above average; the flow of the thought is sometimes interrupted by the rules. I'd say that use of the apostrophe is one that I sometimes must stop and think about. That is not conducive to my free flowing energy. I rely on proof-read. spell check and whatever other help is available. The more formal my presentation, the more scrutiny my words receive. This board however, is not where I expect to be reviewed for the 'Pulitzer'. Nor to I hold other people to the minimum standard I have for myself here...... I will admit to cringing on occasion. ;D Yes. Anything to keep those damn Brazilians at bay. (sorry that was tacky)

In that I do not fear death (only that last painful part leading up to it); I would say serious injury or incarceration would be much worse. More precisely - serving a life sentence with no limbs. Q. Why is it so hard to admit that you are wrong on an important matter?

A: Mostly because I *AM* never wrong.
Seriously, it's because when I make an opinion, it's usually after I study an issue from all sides and choose the one that seems most logical (ie, gives most long-term benefit). When I'm presented with new data that contradicts what I've decided (assuming I've reached a decision), I'll naturally assume this new data is faulty somehow - because more often then not, it IS faulty, so those times when it turns out I WAS wrong, it makes my head go all spinny.
Q: What format did you buy your first Kate album on - Vinyl, cassette, CD, or downloaded from the Internet?

A: Internet? What the hell is that? Download? Que? helloIknowthatyou'vebeenfeelingtired...Vinyl. It was vinyl. Yeah I'm old. An old boyfriend's sister, upon playing a record, then said "Wait! You forgot to rewind it!"
Q: What's worse, to be a mean person or to be a stupid person? (stupid mean people scare me)

I think it's worse to be a mean person. Mean people hurt other people more than stupid people do, so I think it's worse to be mean. And when I say mean, I'm thinking nasty, vindictive people. Often I think people mistake honest people for mean people because they say what they think, and that can often be hurtful too, but that's not mean in my eyes. I don't know if it's clear what i'm trying to say here...when I'm talking mean, I'm thinking of someone who, for example, spreads untrue rumours, or deliberately hurts someone. And, I'm not sure a true mean person can be stupid. You have to be reasonably intelligent to be mean, I think... How does George W. Bush fit into this equation?
