Perhaps questions of an explicit sexual nature..or any other questions that are of an adult nature due to the fact that this thread is not in an age restricted section.. overall beyond that, if you ask something offensive or personal, it isn't directed at anyone in particular.. just whoever comes along and opts to answer.. therefore if you don't like the question, don't answer it.



If cows could talk, but told you they would like to be eaten, would you eat beef?

(Inspired of course by the writings of Douglas Adams)

^^ Greetings omnicognic. I find this question very interesting. I feel that your question implies that there would exist one cow that is a spokesperson (spokescow?) for all cows that currently exist and shall exist in the future. However, perhaps let us consider if all cows could somehow express that they wish to be killed for meat. ^^ I suspect that, if there could be some guarantee that they would not suffer, and that there was no other alternative, then perhaps I would. However, the question must also be asked, "Would such cows suffer if they were not eaten?". If the answer to this second question is yes, then I certainly would advocate such killing. However, I believe that what I have written is highly theoretical and I am very unlikely to experience such a situation that would occur within this very narrow conditioning. I am very sorry if I have been horrible. (Also, I feel that this experiment could include any being as the subject of being eaten, not only cows).

May I please ask, do you enjoy eating pizzas?

do you mean like tobaconnists?? i can't say i have ever been to many, but i generally like specialist shops and places where you can buy lots of different varieties of the same thing. i would like to buy some of those french cigarettes that come in different pastel colours. also my dad used to smoke, and collect, pipes, so i like pipes. i am not that keen on smoking myself, although i do it occasionally.

tell me, do you like cats, and why?

I like cats, because they're very quiet and low-maintenance.

What exotic animal would you like to keep as a pet?

Do you feel it's good to have an imaginative sense of creativity?

Have you ever locked yourself (or anyone else) out of a car by accident?

What a vampire might say.

Which are you most guilty of: overthinking something before you do it, or overanalyzing something after it happens?

I tend to overanalyze something after an event happens..

A single Utopian species, no nations or separation of ANY kind.

No religion.

Just furthering the human race through mass teamwork, reason, and science.

Race and gender would not matter in any situation whatsoever. Marriage, holding a rank in any field be it state or military, etc.

Please do not be offended by any of the above, this is just my shortened version of the perfect world FOR ME.

What living conditions would you have to be in to consider running away from home?(Take this in a literal or a figurative sense, your choice.)
