How was your Labor Day my friend?

Pretty bland. I didn't do anything at all.

[localz]

◘ How many books have you read?

The number is probably somewhere between maybe fifty or a hundred books. In short, not nearly as much as I would like to have read. But that's okay, 'cause I can make up for that later on.

○ What is the last book that you read?

Plague of Ice. It was a D&D novel. Pretty good stuff.

◘ What is your favorite book?

Fight Club (which also happens to be my favorite movie).

○ Who is your favorite character in a book?

It's a toss-up between Tyler Durden from Fight Club and the Gunslinger from Stephen King's Dark Tower series.

◘ What was the first book you can remember reading?

Are You My Mother? It was a kid's book about this bird looking for his momma, or something like that. I guess I was about four or five.

○ What is the most times you have ever read a single book? What book was it?

I've read Fight Club like ten times.

◘ Who is your favorite author?

Stephen King.

○ How many of his/her books have you read?

I think about ten of them, give or take.

◘ What is your favorite book by that author?

The Green Mile.

○ What do you use to keep your place in a book?

I've been using my Magic: the Gathering cards ever since I stopped playing.

◘ Do you prefer hard cover or paperback?

Paperback. It's just something about how it feels in my hands.

○ What is your favorite bookstore?

Barnes and Noble, of course.

◘ Do you believe it is important for children to be interested in reading? Why or why not?

Very much so. Not only will the kids likely grow up to be more intelligent that they would have had they not grown up as readers, but being an avid reader just so enhances your life in the long run. Once I got heavy into reading, I began paying closer attention to my life and noticing details about the things around me that I never would have, not to mention benefits specific to those life-changing books that can just totally alter the way that you think and see the world.

◘ Do you believe that animals go to Heaven? Why or why not?
○ In your opinion, what is the differece between the soul and the spirit?
◘ Have you ever been interested in researching your ancestory? Why or why not?
○ Would you ever consider being a moderator on Foru.ms? If so, which board would you like to moderate?
◘ If someone is in a burning building and they know they will die, do you believe that God would hold them accountable if they jump out of a window instead knowing they had no chance of survival (ie, 200 stories up)? Do you think that jumping out of the window was committing suicide or simply deciding how to die?

◘ Do you believe that animals go to Heaven? Why or why not?

No, because I don't believe in heaven.

○ In your opinion, what is the differece between the soul and the spirit?

There is no such thing as a soul; everyone's got a spirit.

◘ Have you ever been interested in researching your ancestory? Why or why not?

Not really. My dad did research it though, and we found out we're related to George Pickett, a general who served in the Civil War, which is pretty cool.

○ Would you ever consider being a moderator on Foru.ms? If so, which board would you like to moderate?

I wouldn't mind taking up the job if it was offered, but I'm not gonna go applying for it. And of course, I'd moderate the Teens board.

◘ If someone is in a burning building and they know they will die, do you believe that God would hold them accountable if they jump out of a window instead knowing they had no chance of survival (ie, 200 stories up)? Do you think that jumping out of the window was committing suicide or simply deciding how to die?

I don't believe in god, but any merciful god would certainly not judge such an action as wrong. However, it would technically be suicide, since suicide is by definition the decision to intentionally kill one's self.

Do religious questions offend you?

If they did, I certainly wouldn't be a member of these forums.

It was just a question

○ Do you and your family have any special traditions?
◘ Does your family argue a lot or do they get along for the most part?
○ If you could go anywhere charge free, where would you go and who in your family would you take with you?
◘ If your entire family was held hostage and you could only save one person, who would it be? How easily could you make this decision?

◘ Do you enjoy spending time with your family?

I guess. I'd enjoy it more if they ever did anything besides watch tv.

○ Do you and your family have any special traditions?

Not really.

◘ Does your family argue a lot or do they get along for the most part?

We get along well enough, I guess.

○ If you could go anywhere charge free, where would you go and who in your family would you take with you?

I'd go to Ireland and take my parents and sister.

◘ If your entire family was held hostage and you could only save one person, who would it be? How easily could you make this decision?

I really can't say. I love them all too much.

◘ What is your opinion on physician assisted suicide?

If someone wants to die, I believe that they should have the freedom to do so.

Nope.

As long as the patient or the patient's family specifies.
