Here's a bunch of interesting and random questions for ya. A lot of them are from The Book of Questions by Stock. Very interesting book, I suggest you pick it up. Anyhow, if anyone would like to have a long winded I-am-better than you are debate about these questions, feel free to IM me. (If you want I'll post your arguments under the questions)
If you are diagnosed with some horrible disease and you know you will die in 3 months, would you allow yourself to be frozen for 50 years and then reawakened if you knew it would cure you?
What is more important, friendship or justice?
What is more important, what you believe in or what other people think of you?
If you were pregnant and your doctor told you that your kid would be born retarded and would only live for a painful five years (unless some miracle happens) would you get an abortion? If you did have the kid, would you put him up for adoption? Love him less?
You meet this stranger and he offers to give you 1000 bucks if you sleep with him. There is no risk involved, so you won't get AIDS, Pregnant, Pubic Lice, etc. Nobody would know, and you would never see this guy again. Would you do it?
You are hiking in the jungle with your Dad/Mom and your boyfriend/girlfriend/best friend/sibling/crush and they fall into a poisonous snake pit and get bitten by rabid cobras (ala extremely fatal). Unfortunately you only have one dose of anti-venom, and you're in the middle of nowhere. What do you do?
You are on the Titanic with everyone you know and there is only room for 3 on the lifeboat. Who do you save?
If you were diagnosed with cancer and it was one of those very painful ones would you opt for euthanasia (doctor assisted suicide)? What if your mom was the one with the disease?
How would you react if you found out you were a genetic experiment? A clone?
If some kid pulled a Columbine at Irvine High would you run away, grab his gun, or hide? Would you sacrifice yourself to save everyone else�s life?
Would you eat 100 spiders to save a stranger�s life?
Would you rather step barefooted on a cockroach or pull the wings off a butterfly? Why one over the other? Is beauty everything?
Would you shave your head if doing so would feed 5,000 hungry people in Southeast Asia? Would you do it if you weren�t allowed to tell anyone why you did it?
If someone could give you the power to see the future, except that no one would believe you if you told him what you saw, would you take that power? (I'd buy stocks =P)
Would you have your greatest wish granted on the one condition that you wouldn�t be able to tell anyone about it? What is your greatest wish?
Would you rather die without a legacy (no one cares, no one remembers) or would you rather die hated (like Hitler)? (hey, you're dead either way...)
If you could sit down with one person, alive or dead, and have a talk, who would it be?
If you were stuck in a life-threatening situation and you could only save one of your parents, who would you save? Why?
If you were captured by the enemy, would you keep quiet and die, spill juicy military details and get out, or what?
Would you rather be the most beautiful person in the world or the smartest person in the world?
You get the chance to meet and fall in love with the most perfectest person of your dreams. Hooray. Unfortunately, in 6 months the person will suffer a horrible death, out of the blue. (after this conversation, i will wipe your memory, so it really will strike out of no where! muahaha). With the pain that follows, would you still like the opportunity to meet this person? What if I told you that instead of dying, this person would accidentally betray you? This is a once in a lifetime opportunity.
Would you condone the murder of a single innocent person if it would end world hunger? (purely rhetorical and illogical, but bear with me) What if you were the murderer? Or the victim?
On the table in front of you are 10 handguns. Only one of the guns is loaded. You are offered this game: One Billion $$$ if you pick up a random gun, point it at your head, and pull the trigger. Would you play?
Would if bother you to know that after you died, your body was left to rot in the woods?
Would you add one year to your life if it meant taking one year from the life of someone in the world selected at random? Would it matter if you were told whose life you had shortened?
You and your brother/sister/best friend are placed in separate rooms with a button next to each of you. In 60 minutes you will both be toasted by evil gamma rays, unless one of you presses the button. The first person to press the button will save the other person but immediately be cooked. What do you do?
You've been going out with a guy/girl for 6 months, and you realize it's a miserable relationship. Unfortunately, this former S.O.'s got a serious case of the cahooks, and if you dump him/her they'll probably commit suicide. Unfortunately, stick with them and you'll be miserable. What do you do?
If someone gave you $50,000, would you take a loyal and healthy pet to the Vet to be put to sleep?
Would you sell your parents for money? Rent them out?
You know that guy who plugged in his toaster for too long and burned his house down? Suppose that happened to you, and you knew that if you sued you would win, even thought it was your own dumb mistake. Would you still sue?
Would you rather a leader be cruel and talented or nice and not as capable?
If permanent world peace could be gained by obliterating one country, would you be willing to select the country to be sacrificed? If so, which would you choose and why?
If someone tried to make a big bet with you about something you were absolutely certain about, would you try to dissuade him or just take his money?
You're in a building at school with 99 other kids when your lives are suddenly put in danger. The teacher's--I dunno, not there--and you take charge. There are two courses of action you can take. The First would save only 90 people. The Second has a 50% chance of saving everyone, but if it were to fail, everyone would die. Which course of action would you choose? Would your familiarity with the people in the room affect your choice? What if you had to choose the 10 people who would die? Would you rather someone else make the decision for you even if it meant you might be picked?
And finally:
If you were to die tomorrow, assuming heaven and hell (in a non-religious sense) exist where do you think you are headed? Would that be like, a total waste of air, or what? What would you regret the most?
