Post a hypothetical question and answer other questions.

Members can answer any question that they want.

I'll start. If you could give up one year of your life to receive five million dollars now, would you do it? Give up two years, get 10 million now. How many years would you give up, or would you not give up any?

For example, if it's in the cards for you to live to be 85, would you die at 84 to get five million dollars now?

And hypothetically speaking, there are no religious implications.

If you could go back in time and poison Hitler before he gained power -- would you, knowing it would save millions of lives and prevent a World War?

This is a tough one...of course, I would like to know what people really think of me. But, then again, would I really want to?

I'll go with yes. Only because my curiousity is overwhelming.

Professionally speaking, if you could be anything in the world, what would you be? A successful doctor, athlete, famous actor, etc?

Would you want the power to read people's minds? yeah

If you could go back in time and poison Hitler before he gained power -- would you, knowing it would save millions of lives and prevent a World War? yeah

Would you rather be rich and average looking or exceptionally beautiful and of average financial means? the latter; there's nothing really that negative about it. nor the other one.

As long as I could still live comfortably and wouldn't be poor or anything, I'd rather be exceptionally good looking.

If i could turn it off when I wanted to... but if it just constantly streamed in (like in "What Women Want") I wouldn't.

that's a toughie... i mean, 5 million would be really nice to have... but I think i'd end up regretting it when I hit 84...

If you found out that you had the opportunity to relive any moment in your life, what would you relive?

I think I would choose my mother's last day, when I was saying good-bye to her. Just to hold her again.

Broadway actress, hands down. The hell with Hollywood actresses... I don't want a big house. I don't want 4 cars. I don't want Emmy and Golden Globe awards, none of that will make me happy. I just want to get on stage and sing my heart out.

I would probably only give 1 year of my life for 5 million dollars. 5 million would be plenty to live off of. To buy my mom her dream home, to buy me a home, and to do a bit for charity. 5 million would be more than enough for me.

Would you want the power to read people's minds?

Absolutely not. I have trouble dealing with my own mind, why the heck would I want to deal with everyone elses?? I'd probably go even crazier than I already am.

Would you rather be rich and average looking or exceptionally beautiful and of average financial means?

Rich and average. What's wrong with average. Some of the most attractive people Iv'e ever seen were the ones classified as average.

if you could go back in time and poison Hitler before he gained power -- would you, knowing it would save millions of lives and prevent a World War? Yes

Hmm...just a year, huh? Yeah, probably. I value other people's lives and their presence in mine more than I value my own.

If you had a genie, and could only make 2 wishes, what would they be? They could be ANYTHING in the world...

Rich and average looking. I'd like to think they money could take me farther than the looks could. Besides, in the end, it's not supposed to be about looks.

I'd be on a TV show I created. And it'd be on of those modest hits that seem to last for years and years. Not #1, but people still love it.

I still would. The life of a child vs. the lives of soooo many people who were only guilty of practicing a different religion doesn't equate to me.

Question: Professionally speaking, if you could be anything in the world, what would you be? A successful doctor, athlete, famous actor, etc?

I would be a professional Screenwriter/Director. Writing a movie is one of my goals in life, and being able to write and direct more than one film, is my dream.

Question: If you found out that you had the opportunity to relive any moment in your life, what would you relive?

Probably the day before my Oma died. Oddly enough, I called her a day before she died. I say oddly enough because I previously hadn't talked to her for a year, so me deciding to call a day before she died was a miracle!! I'd like to live it over though, because I'd like to actually be with her on her last day on Earth, instead of just talking to her on the phone.

If you could only choose one person in the whole world to spend the rest of your life with on a deserted island, who would that be?

Would you want the power to read people's minds?
I keep thinking about this question. Yes, I can think of a couple of people whose minds I'd love to read. You know, to get a feel about them, get a perception of their life, why they think the way they think, and so on. However, there are probably certain things about them I wouldn't really like to know. That could get scary. :eek:

I agree wholeheartedly.
