Default Weird profound questions.

Post your profound questions, tough questions, fun questions whatever things to think about even if they haven't got much sense. Awnser some of them, and infront of each question post a number (I'm going to post x questions so the next one who posts a question will type x+1 before typing his question) to make it easier for people to answer.

1 If you were offered $1,000,000 right now to have your mother die one day sooner than she otherwise would have, would you take it? What about one year? Using this logic can you place a monetary value on your loved ones’ life?

2 I’ve got a used outdoor garbage can that I want to throw out. What do I put it in?

3 If someone with multiple personalities threatens to kill himself, is it
considered a hostage situation?

4 Is it possible to be totally partial?

5 If a turtle doesn't have a shell, is he homeless or naked?

6 Why is the word abbreviation so long?

7 Why isn't phonetic spelled the way it sounds?

1. No. No amount of money is ever worth the life of someone I love. Someone I'm indifferent to, on the other hand....

2. You put it in your car and take it to the scrapyard.

3. No

4. Partial is not a relative term. Neither is biased. Everyone is both.

5. If a turtle has a shell, is he a property owner or is he wearing clothes?

6. It's a metaphor for mankind's innability to explain simple things succinctly

7. Why would it be?

8. to intend to express or indicate:

I do believe I have solved all your problems.

9 Why are so many people morons?

1. Can I discuss it with her?
2. Just leave it out for the Dustbin/Garbage men with a note to not return it.
3. No it's mass murder.
4. Is it possible to be totally impartial?
5. Neither, it's dead.
6. Use abrv. instead.
7. Why is spelled used instead of spelt?
8. It also means average and hateful.
9. Because you've only seen that side of them.


10. Can the Universe be anything other than what it is?

1. What if you were offered $5 million dollars for your mother to die one second earlier than she would normally die. Would you take that? What about a 100th of a second earlier than normal?

What about a millionth of a second earlier than normal for that money? What about $500 million dollars for her to die a billionth of a second earlier? Would you take a billion dollars for her to live a day longer than she would have? Would you take a million dollars for your mother to live an extra 50 years longer than she would have?

1/ No, money isn't worth that to me

2/ garbage that nobody can see?

3/ depends whether they kill themself or kill one of severage egos

4/ probably everyone is

5/ both

6/ because most other words are shorter

7/ because it originated from a different language eg. latin perhaps?
