Following on to Oudis link, here’s a challenging one:

If a person you know wants to commit suicide (like both people in that link did), do you

1. support them and tell them that you don’t want them to hurt anymore so you will let them go even though it will hurt you and you will be sad

or

2. tell them that you will hate them and the memory of them forever if they commit suicide?

There isn’t a third option to this question. You only have these two.

Funny Paper Posted

Impossible choices (e.g., “Sea or Sky”) or more imaginable choices (e.g., “Chocolate or Vanilla”)?

 

Since The sky or the sea isn’t an impossible choice (sky) I pick that one.

Tricky –and you don’t give a third option, do you? Assuming that the suicidal person has a terminal disease –and only if that is the case– then the answer would be number one. Otherwise, I’ll find the third option you don’t give us. (Please more people reply to this question, I want to know your answers).

Question:

Would you do something that you know is morally right, although it’s illegal? Yes? No?

Sorry but i cannot choose option 1 or 2 because i don’t agree to the first without a heck of a lot of stipulations attached and i cannot agree with the second in any way. For a start it depends on the reason(s) why the individual would be contemplating suicide in the first place. It’s too big and complex an issue to get involved in on a Beatles forum.

Question:

Would you do something that you know is morally right, although it’s illegal? Yes? No?

Again it depends on the situation at hand. Its too far reaching to give a blanket yes or no answer.

Would you rather be buried alive or burned alive?

Why do you even bother in reading? There's nothing strange going on around here... Or is it?

Long slow lingering death or unbelievably painful death over in a matter or seconds (hopefully). 

I’d go with the latter as the mental torture of being buried alive would be as painful as being burned alive. One of the most horrific things i have seen on tv in recent years was the death of Dr Vera Juarez in ‘Torchwood: Miracle Day’ who was burned alive. Most of the things that shock me in tv and film are gone in an instant but that’s one of the very few that has stayed with me.

 

Stubbing your toe or getting a paper cut?

Paper cut I’ve stubbed my toe much more than a paper cut

 

Trying to sleep with bright lights or noisy neighbors?

Bright lights. Noise keeps me awake, bright lights don’t.

 

Death thru being eaten alive by wolfs or vultures?

Wolves – they’ve got sharper teeth and bigger appetites, so it wouldn’t take as long. Also, less laughable/embarrassing.

“Shut the door” or “close the door”?

GEORGE: In fact, The Detroit Sound. JOHN: In fact, yes. GEORGE: In fact, yeah. Tamla-Motown artists are our favorites. The Miracles. JOHN: We like Marvin Gaye. GEORGE: The Impressions PAUL & GEORGE: Mary Wells. GEORGE: The Exciters. RINGO: Chuck Jackson. JOHN: To name but eighty.

I usually ask for it to be closed.

“Covers” or “blankets” on the bed?

To the fountain of perpetual mirth, let it roll for all its worth. And all the children boogie.

Covers. Don’t like blankets.

I close the door, it sounds better being more polite to me. Shut the door feels more like an order.

Glass half full or glass half empty?

A little of both… maybe a little more towards beard.

Would you go to the past or into the future?

If we can manipulate things, I’d go to the past.

Flower garden (big like Keukenhof) or forest

Yeah, i know what you want to manipulate @Ahhh Girl. You’d think a mod could control herself.a-hard-days-night-paul-3

 

Forest. I like forests if they are wild and untamed.

Patacake patacake bakers man or The Gingerbread Man?

Id go to the past for the same reasons @Ahhh Girl! Heh-heh-heh.

Those two songs are the same tune aren’t they!

I’m going with the Gingerbread man, unless Ginger Baker, man, is an option.

Ginger Baker or Phil Collins?

If I spoke prose you'd all find out, I don't know what I talk about.

As a drummer, Ginger Baker. But I like some of Phil Collins’ songs very much, so maybe Phil Collins, the composer/singer.

Roxanne by The Police or Roxanne by Sting?

Rain or shine?

This. It just seems more personal. That sounds more distant and cold.
