: Poor and intelligent. Stupid people piss me off, and what's the point of having all
that wealth if you're not smart enough to appreciate it, and use it wisely? Besides, I
am fairly poor at the moment, and it's not a bad way to live.
~~ you forgot to add that if you are intelligent , you can probably achieve wealth.
: : 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. The feeling of accomplishment that comes from having your life's
work recognized and appreciated is more important to me than knowing that I am
probably the very best at what I do for the time my body is able to handle it. I think
I'm more of an intellectual than a physical guy, anyway.
~ and aren't you sexy for that? I think tose atheletes take steroids or wierd
drugs..makes them..unnatural
: : 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?
: Probably world peace, but only because I think the Earth is far too overpopulated.
However, I wouldn't make a decision over the life and death of anyone other than
myself. And when you say abortion, what does that entail? 2-nd trimester? Partial
birth? Or do you consider the morning-after pill abortion? It's a fuzzy area, and I
wouldn't know where to draw the line betweens a woman's right to choose and an
embryo's right to come full term.
~~ abortion is necessary for women who want it...anyone with half brain does it in
the first trimester
: : 4. Elvis - OR - The Beatles?
: No contest. The Beatles. Elvis was good- possibly the best at what he did, but The
Beatles were far more in tune with the spirit of the day, and their songs still have
impact today, they are still relevant; I don't mean just those songs about love and
hardship, but almost everything the wrote is not out of place in my CD player,
regardless of the next CD over. Dig?
~ I disagree! Elvis was scandalous..he broke the rules..sure he wasn't as full of the
wisdom and art the beatles finally managed to impart..BUT..He broke the rules..Ed
Sullivan show..and he was unorthodox for the conservative public as we know it
