: This pole has one very important *key* premise - the choices are MUTUALLY EXCLUSIVE. That means if you chose one you will NEVER be able to have the other. No loopholes. Having said that, here goes:
: 1. Would you rather be wealthy and stupid - OR - poor and intelligent? Why? poor and intelligent, because if I wasn't intelligent I wouldn't be able to enjoy my wealth anyway, so what would be the point? At least if I were poor and intelligent, I could use my brain to imagine myself being wealthy
: 2. If you could only have ONE of these accomplishments in your life: Would you rather be an olympic gold medalist at 20 - OR - a Nobel prize winner at 75? Why? Nobel prize winner at 75, because it would feel like so much more of an accomplishment, seeing as I would have worked hard for so many more years...if I won at 20, it would be like, "what next?" There would be nothing left to strive for
: 3. Would you rather have world peace at the expense of the lives of 1/3 of the Earth's population - OR - an end to all abortions everywhere with the full knowledge that those children will grow up only to die in endless wars arround the world? Why? Definitely the first choice, because I believe that women have the right to choose to have an abortion if they want to, and I am a great believer in peace. War is evil!!! And if the cost of world peace would be to lose 1/3 of the Earth's population, then so be it
: 4. Elvis - OR - The Beatles? definitely The Beatles...Not a fan of Elvis...oh, and for the record, he is NOT still alive!!!
