I'm gonna try my hand at one of these silly game threads. See how this hits you.

A user posts a choice of two, the next user chooses one, justifies the choice then posts another choice of two...

For example:

user 1: would you rather be a man or a woman?

user 2: a man because men don't bleed like women do. would you rather be a cop or a criminal?

user 3: a cop because cops get free dounuts...

Me first:

would you rather be extremely physically attractive or exceptionally intelligent?


P.S. And you can also do 'rather have' like "Would you rather have herpes or gonorrhea?"

-S-

 

Exceptionally intelligent because looks would fade faster than intelligence.


Would you rather be a doctor or a lawyer?

 

A lawyer because I have the moral flexibility to be one of those asshole rich ones. :mrgreen:

Would you rather be a dog or a cat?

-S-

 

A cat; cuz you can climb fences and land on your feet when kids drop you.

Would you rather be David Letterman or Jay Leno?

 

Letterman because he's cooler than Jay. Not so smug.

Would you rather be Laura Bush or Barbara Bush?

-S-

 

Jay Leno because of his car collection.


Would you rather be caught in a blizzard or stranded in a desert?

 

Sorry, Shake, we posted at the same time. I'd change mine but I don't like your choices for the last one, someone else can do yours.

 

I'd rather be caught in a blizzard because freezing to death can't be as tormenting as dying from dehydration.

Would you rather go hunting with Dick Cheney or Scuba Diving with the late Crocodile Hunter?

 

Hunting with Dick Cheney because I have a phobia of deep water.


Would you rather be tongueless or dickless? (what a choice, huh? )

 

Tongueless; I have a feeling modern medicine will have an acceptable substitute forgoing tastebuds sooner than they'll have a phallic prosthetic that I deem acceptable to my standards.

And a classic; To have loved and lost, or to have never loved at all?

 

Dickless!!! Cause I don't have one now, so I wouldn't miss much! hehe

Would you rather have hemmerioids or chicken pox?

 

Chickenpox. When I got it, it was mild and hardly itched at all.

Would you rather be Hitler or Stalin?

-S-

 

:: puts on his flame-retardant shield ::

Assuming I don't have to walk into either situation with their respective agendas, I'd much be rather in Hitler's position. I will still maintain to the day that had he focused his efforts on the western front and the African campaign, he could have brought Germany through the war as a major power, even despite a victory or loss outcome.

If I was cast directly into their personas, though, I'd side with Stalin. He brought Marxism into one of its most workable forms under the Soviet banner, and even though it may or may not have lasted post-WWII, he did a remarkable job of balancing domestic and international affairs given what he had to work with.

Now lets travel even further back; would you rather be a medieval vassal, or a Roman-era patrician?

 

Even though I would say I have quite flexible morals also they aren’t quite flexible enough for me to be a lawyer. I have been told since I was a kid I needed to be lawyer so I put some thought into it. As a lawyer I think you would be in the business of screwing people over, many of which probably don’t deserve it. I know I would much rather take the case I know I shouldn’t win, because when I did it would be more of a testament to my capabilities rather than the merit of the case. I really can’t justify screwing up people’s lives to make me feel better about myself.

Patrician hands down. Not only do I think it was a higher station in life than a vassal, I would much rather be part of such an age of philosophy…………and orgies, than the religiously charged dark ages.



Would you rather sleep with a hermaphrodite or a or a midget?

 

Honestly? Both

But if I had to choose, it'd be the hermaphrodite... always willing and able to try something new

Would you rather be loved by one, or desired by many?

 

First, let's hear a round of applause for Shake finally lowering himself to the standards of the rest of the forum!

*waits*

Mkay, good.



I'd like to be loved by one, rather than having to be under the duress of trying to please a bunch!

Would you rather have a calculator that could talk the answers, or a friend who could do math like there's no tomorrow and never shuts up!??

 

The calculator. I can turn off when I'm done. I can't turn off the friend unless I drug him, stick him in his car and roll him off a cliff.

Would you rather be a rock star or a movie star?

-S-

 

Movie Star, they aren’t as tied to expected personas. Since the rock star is solely responsible (or at least supposed to be) for their own art, a singular persona is created in contrast to that of the numerous personas of an actor. For example, when I saw this hot virgin on the Howard Stern Show trying to get Marilyn Manson to sleep with her, he kept saying “I am in a committed relationship.” Immediately he lost credibility in my book but would not think such a thing of any actor in a similar position.


Would you rather give a loved one over to slavers or personally perform a heart transplant on them with only one week of text book study to guide you?

 

This thread was doomed from the start.

Best Wishes

 

It at least ask for some insight into the way people think, which I think gives it a little more value than most of the game threads.
