12. Another spate of questions...
Do I get a free blender or something for answering these? Anyway, here goes.

1) 9.5 EEE (wide-ass feet).
2) 0, and I'm not self-centered.
3) "City of Ghosts" Mediocre Matt Dillon directed film. Good locations, cool cinematography, great soundtrack, ehh story. Gerard Depardieu has gotten HUGE though!
4) All you DU'ers!!! I'll cook, you guys do the dishes.
5) Print. ALL IN CAPS, too. My lowercase printing is abysmal.
6) Yes. I signed up as an organ donor on my DL.
7) Other than sex? Jeez, now your making it difficult. Computer games, particularly, Battlefield 1942 and Neverwinter Nights.
8) Yes. And I won (not bragging, the other kid started it).
9) Are you asking? He he. Its up to the people involved. Me, yes and often.
10) Technically, lies are lies. For me, the line is drawn by how much karmic debt I want to take on.

9. What are your opinions of pre-marital sex? Within the context of a relationship, it's fine by me. It's just not being DONE by me. HEY!!!!! You said this was safe!!!! Poopy-pants!
10. At what point do you draw the line between little white lies and just plain lies? When the lie causes pain to the person lied to.

Not whether you were personally indulging. I mean shoot, I asked about lies too, but I didn't ask whether you had any you were currently engaged in. :eyes:

14. My answers:
1. What is your shoe size?

9 or 9.5 (sometimes regular, sometimes wide, depending on the shoe

2. How many siblings do you have?

one brother, a year younger

3. What's the last movie you rented?

American Wedding

4. Name a famous person you'd like to eat out with.

Bill Clinton or Tim Robbins

5. Do you write in cursive or print?

a combination

6. Do you carry a donor card?

it's on my driver's license

7. What's your favourite thing to do (excepting sex, and DU)?

read, games with my children

8. Have you ever been in a fist-fight?

once in 5th grade

9. What are your opinions of pre-marital sex?

I love sex, but tend to view it in terms that is is more meaningful than simply a recreational sport, at least for myself. I think in many ways, my life would be easier if I didn't mean so much,at least less frustrating in certain respects. I do not, however, think sex though has to be confined only to marriage.

10. At what point do you draw the line between little white lies and just plain lies?

I'm a terrible lier in most respects. I tend to be guilty of lies of omission, but to draw a line, that would have to be along the lines of whether someone else got hurt.

"Undercover Brother" and it was a lot funnier than I expected

It says I'm a donor on my driver's license

Yup. I didn't start it...but I finished it. :evilgrin:

9. What are your opinions of pre-marital sex?
Yes please.

Even little white lies are still lies. That doesn't mean I don't engage in them...just that I'm not proud that I do.

1. What is your shoe size?
-11 Mens
2. How many siblings do you have?
-2 - 1 bro, 1 sis
3. What's the last movie you rented?
-Rented? "Pirates of the Carribbean". Checked "Chocolat" out from the library this past weekend.
4. Name a famous person you'd like to eat out with.
-Bill Clinton
5. Do you write in cursive or print?
-A scribbled combination of both
6. Do you carry a donor card?

7. What's your favourite thing to do (excepting sex, and DU)?
-Hang out w/ my wife and 2 boys.
8. Have you ever been in a fist-fight?
-Yes, but not in the last 26 years. (I'm 41)
9. What are your opinions of pre-marital sex?
-It's OK, just be smart about it. Make sure it means something, and make sure you are protected. In many ways.
10. At what point do you draw the line between little white lies and just plain lies?
-Little white lies are meant not to hurt some one. Don't like 'em, but they are sometimes necessary. Just plain lies are to either keep yourself out of some trouble you have earned, or to prevent someone from getting what they HAVE earned. Both are wrong. But are possibly forgivable, depending on the severity of said lie.

30. My own answers.
Edited on Wed Jan-21-04 02:14 PM by SOteric
1. What is your shoe size?

7

2. How many siblings do you have?

4. All brothers. All elder.

3. What's the last movie you rented?

Clerks and Dogma, at the same time.

4. Name a famous person you'd like to eat out with.

Viggo Mortenson?

5. Do you write in cursive or print?

Usually I print, but on formal documents, I write cursive.

6. Do you carry a donor card?

I probably should. Most of my stuff doesn't work well enough that it would be much of a prize to get it.

7. What's your favourite thing to do (excepting sex, and DU)?

Spend time yattering with friends. Snogging with my cats.

8. Have you ever been in a fist-fight?

Actually yes. Sort of. I was about 12. I was explaining to a young girl in my class, a girl of African descent, that she was indeed a "Negro." I then went on to mind-numbing detail of exactly what that meant. She didn't care. It sounded too much like an insult to her and she flattened me. It's worth observing that by junior high, she and I were close friends.

9. What are your opinions of pre-marital sex?

First and foremost, I don't think it's any business of a government. I believe that any parties engaged in premarital sex should be consenting adults. I know the definition of adulthood varies from person to person, and that some children/teens develop faster than others. I'm really just trying to point out that many young men and women haven't the emotional base necessary to understand and deal with sexuality, with vulnerability and rejection; much less the risks of STD and pregnancy.

Once it's been narrowed to consenting adults, it's pretty much between the individuals involved, their conscience, and any gods or goddesses in whom they have faith. It's really not my business, and my judgement hasn't been all that good in my own life; I'm not sure it's wise to turn it lose on someone else.

10. At what point do you draw the line between little white lies and just plain lies?

From what I read, I think I draw the lines broader than most. It's easy to determine in simple matters where someone's giving you a polite answer about your new outfit, or when someone has floated a malicious lie which could end your career or relationship.

But it get's more difficult when you consider that many folks are hurt by the very act of the lie. Some, perhaps even most, feel hurt and outraged to learn that someone they're close with has floated even a relatively harmless lie. So hurt isn't really the determining factor for me: It's intent.

If a friend embellishes their intelligence or accomplishments, then I see that as being derived from insecurity. The intent isn't to make me feel foolish (even if that's a side-effect) it's to make them seem more likable, more worthy. While it indicates work to be done in the matters of self-esteem and communicating, it's not what I would classify as a malicious lie.

Obviously, concocting something hurtful with the intent of sabotaging someone else's relationship, - that's a malicious lie.

46. I should be working, but...
Typing sounds like working when no-one can see your monitor, so:

1. What is your shoe size?
9 (which is a US Mens 10).

2. How many siblings do you have?
2 - Older sister, younger brother.

3. What's the last movie you rented?
Dog Soldiers, maybe? It was quite a while ago, thanks to the magic of the Internet. :evilgrin:

4. Name a famous person you'd like to eat out with.
Jon Cusack.

5. Do you write in cursive or print?
Print. I do cursive, but it makes my hands ache now they've adapted to keyboard.

6. Do you carry a donor card?
I used to - I have no idea what happened to it. I should get another one, I guess.

7. What's your favourite thing to do (excepting sex, and DU)?
Y- err... sleep. Yeah, sleep, that's it.

8. Have you ever been in a fist-fight?
Plenty, when I was a kid. I assume anyone answering "no" to this one sprang forth fully-formed and 18 years old from their parents' forehead.

9. What are your opinions of pre-marital sex?
My take on it is that it may be good to "sacrifice" your own earthly pleasure to a "higher power/principle" by not indulging in pre-marital sex. However, choosing not to make that sacrifice doesn't make you *bad*, it makes you normal. Indulging in pre-marital sex for the sake of pure personal physical gratification, rather than as an expression of feeling for your partner, is the bad. And if both parties are clear on a "no harm, no foul" one night stand, maybe not even then.

Does that make sense?

10. At what point do you draw the line between little white lies and just plain lies?
When they're being told more to prevent harm to me than to prevent harm to another. Obviously there's loopholes and exceptions in that, but it's a useful first cut.
