Would you Rather ?

Would you rather- Been able to stop 9-11, OR The Holocaust ?

The problem with either assumption is that both of these events were not the result of a single action. I don't believe that you could go back in time and kill Hitler and stop the Holocaust, nor do I believe that you could go back in time and kill Osama bin Laden and prevent 9-11.

That said, from an ethical standpoint, the number of lives affected by the Holocaust was over 2750 times the number affected by 9-11. So from a simple mathematical equation, it seems like that would be the one worth preventing.

That said, given circumstances--like both of my grandfather's roles in World War II--I would choose to prevent 9-11. But that is because I am an absolutely self-serving individual and by altering the flow of history before I was born, I may not have existed.

For the next person on the list: Would you rather have become famous for a shallow one-hit wonder, or be unknown for ghostwriting a famous band's catalogue?

That question was just that.. a question.. I wasn't trying to get alot of theoretical views.. it's just a game..
New question.. Would you rather- Have a Zombie apocolyps OR World War III ???

Hmm...that's fine, but I noticed my question posed was ignored.

To answer your conjecture, World War III would be the best option. After all, the world is overpopulated as it is and reanimating the dead would put an environmental strain on almost every resource. Like brains.

A third world war would be interesting as we are now in the midst of a truly globalized--both economically and socially--planet. I imagine that, were it taking place, the third world war would be over a resource. Probably water. That one is pretty important.

So if the population is thinned out a bit, and the remaining water is not tainted, I would imagine that would be the best option. After all, the planet can reset itself. We, as humans, cannot.

I will now answer the following question:
Would you rather cage wrestle a bear or have a race with a shark?

The race with the shark does not imply impending doom. I think that is the obvious choice.

I will again pose my question for the next person to answer: Would you rather have become famous for a shallow one-hit wonder, or be unknown for ghostwriting a famous band's catalogue?

Cheers,

I'd rather write the catalog. Quality of work over a career matters more to me than shallow fame.

Would you rather be able to travel to the past or travel to the future.

Well, rationally- there is no way to travel to the future, as it has not happened yet. Our future is determined by the decisions and actions that we are doing currently.

That being said, I would still choose to travel to the past. More specifically, I would like to travel back to Henry the VIII's early reign of England. Maybe around the time of Ann Boleyn, just to see that whole thing occur. And hey, maybe I could become one of his mistresses! So long as I don't get be-headed.

Hopefully we learn from our pasts mistakes so we don't repeat them in the future, so I think going back into the past and learning things first hand, would help in that process.

New question.. Would you rather-

Have a Zombie apocolyps OR World War III ???

Zombie Apocalypse!!! The only reason why I work out is to kick some Zombie *kitten*

As the previous person didn't set a question I'll answer the last question and set one.

I would let the legal system run it's course. A vigilante is no better than a criminal. For example a person kills because he/she decides that person should die. They then get off or lit ooks like they will. The vigilante goes after them and kills or beats the person up. Their reasoning is; i decided that......... Well the killer decided that......... If that as an excuse is sound then he shouldn't be punished. If it isn't than you are guilty too as you used the same logic or reasoning to reach your decision.

Ok, new question.

If it was only possible to find a cure for one, would you rather have a cure for AIDS or have a cure for cancer?

by the way guys. I think this would be more fun if we just answer the questions as if they were possible. If someone asks if you'd rather have ride a unicorn or a pegasus we don't need to know that that actually isn't a possible choice.

Would you rather, have a short period of extreme happiness. Or live "just okay" for your whole life?

Teleport, that's my superpower of choice.

Would you rather be ugly and rich or beautiful and poor?

Hearing for sure. Communication is tougher but you can still cope with life really well. Lose your sight and its much much harder.

Would you rather be a cat or a dog?

I'd rather eat the lint out of Rosie's bellybutton. *vomit*

Would you rather have to tattoo on your eyebrows (always looking surprised) or eat a stink bug once a week for the rest of your life?

Ooh! I'll eat the bug (do I get to choose which kind? :drinker: )

**damn, too late! I choose the second/deaf option**

Would you rather chew a piece of toenail off a dirty man's foot, or throughly lick his unshowered hairy armpit? :laugh:

Go back to school.

Would you rather only work 20 hrs per week for half of your current pay or have to work 80 hours per week but earn double your current pay?
