Nice thread, Aicha.


If a tree falls in a forest with no one to hear, does it make a sound?

Sure!

What is the fundamental flaw in human nature? Pride - or greed?

I'd say pride, because it helps fuel greed. Would you really want stuff if you didn't have anyone to impress, anyone to upstage?

Are men naturally polygamous?

I don't think so, I think a lot of it is to be with how someone is raised.

Are women naturally competitive with other women?

I think it's something that society kind of imprints in women.

Is the human race essentially good?

I think that we're all born good, yes.

“If all the world’s a stage and we are merely players…” what game are we playing?

The game of LIFE.

Have you been accused of being a genius?

I don't think so, but I accuse my boyfriend of it. <3

In a society where everyone is “entitled to their opinion”, what place is there for Right and Wrong?

When someone's opinion ends up changing society to harm people, ie: people's gripe against gay marriage ends up making it illegal.

Descartes said “I think therefore I am”, how can one prove to themselves that another person exists beyond their imagination?

You truly can't.

If it was never illegal, would you have killed someone by now?

I don't know.

Does everything in the world have an opposite? If no, give an example.

Indifference.

How do you define personal honor?'

Not selling out your core beliefs.

How will you prove that genuine love exists?

I live in it every day.

Will humankind annihilate itself eventually?

I don't think so. I think human kind will progress beyond that.

Given infinity, will all that is possible eventually happen?

No, there's always more to do.

Is it better to be uncertain about something forever, or know the truth and be very hurt through all your life?

I'd rather be uncertain.

If you saw a yellow ball but everyone told you it was purple, who would you believe? If no, what would you do to prove your side?

This is really tough to answer.

Is education the filling of a pail, or the lighting of a fire?

I'd say it's gathering the supplies for a fire. Only you can truly dedicate yourself enough to spark it, but education brings you to what you need to do it, if you choose.

What would you be willing to do to survive?

More than I care to admit

Is a lie a lie, if everybody knows it is?

Yes, because the intent was dishonest.

Imagine yourself experiencing a car accident. What happens and how does everything look like after the accident?

Someone runs a red light and crashes into the side of my car. So much glass exploding. Metal everywhere.

Do you ever wonder if you’re already dead and this is just your life flashing before your eyes?

Oh yes.

Should the conservative Christian husband of an atheist woman allow her to have an abortion if there’s a chance the kid might grow up and turn into a gay Mormon?

What's so bad about a gay Mormon? I love gay people, and Auntie Steph is Mormon, though she's straight.
