New Forum Game - Answer the question above you

Post by Zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz »

I've made plenty of these games already and I've decided to create as many of them as possible, in effect throwing as much excrement on to the walls as I can in order to see what sticks.

This is self-explanatory, but if you still need an explanation, here you go:

1. The person above you asks a question
2. You answer the question
3. You ask a question
4. You get it answered
5. Repeat steps 2-4 ad infinitum

If God exists, what would you say to God?

Depends on which God. Is it the Abrahamic, Hindu, or deist God (and also the thousands of others that exist).
I guess in general, I'd look down at the world, look at God and say "Hey God, this world? (thumbs up) Good job man, thank you for making this."

Should another restriction to voting be having a minimum IQ of 115?

No. IQ tests are bogus.

And even if they weren't, voting should be allowed to everybody. What if those people are stupid and want to vote for a government that will give them better education? They will not be able to! It will create a system where only the best educated (who are likely the wealthiest) will be able to vote. This is not a democracy, but an oligarchy.

If you have dinner with any historical figure, who would it be?

I've seen that video before, and I'm not sure if what it says is true.

The problem is, in the United States, the 10th amendment gives each state the right to enforce their own education policies (not specifically education, but it's included in there), unless you can get an amendment that fixes the education system and have most states agree to ratify it, which is unlikely because most people, especially a lot of politicians (who usually call the shots), lack the education to know that stronger education is good (usually because it probably takes a few more tax dollars). It's a Catch 22.

I agree with Thomas Jefferson that a well educated population is essential to a functional and successful democracy. The problem isn't incompetent politicians (well, they're a problem, but not the root of them), but rather incompetent voters. If we had a better ecuated populace, we'd probably would have had our first Female President. Not Jill Stein though, a well educated populace would kick her to the curb faster than Bernie Sanders ;).

Leonardo Da Vinci. He was also a vegetarian, so that'd make for a less awkward meal among it being a very interesting one to say the least.

Since you didn't ask me a question, I'll ask you one: why not?

Because I forgot.
Would you rather be rich or be president?

Really depends how rich. Really I’d need a body of advisors to decide this because there’s a point at which I could become more powerful than the president of US (the only country) with money, so I don’t know, but if I had to pick off the top of my head, I’d pick the president because his powers are more defined than of any given person that is rich.

I meant why aren't you sure that what the video says is true, not why didn't you answer the question. Sorry for the confusion.

I'd say Oxfam, however, I wouldn't recommend supporting them as they have recently came under fire for staff sexual misconduct.

Which famous person (past and present) do you admire above all others?

I don't really admire anyone above anyone else, however in general I like people who do their own thing without caring what others think. So in this case Jesus. Also I like Bob Dylan as a searcher.

What do you think is the best musical era/genre?
