Temat: Five for Friday 24.04.2009

1. Kill someone.

2. Prepare the right clothes for the funeral, pick the suitable coffin and flowers. Double check if this is really going to be the last day of my life.

3. I think philosophers have already said enough in this matter. I agree with them.

4. Probably something that has to do with teaching children comming from any kind of underpriviledged backgrounds, helping them to find a good job, to do something good with their lives.

5. Probably they're well aware that they may never meet the stranger again, so they just take the opportunity. The spouse waits for their turn.

Ready?

These ones come from Anna Żylińska!

1. Suppose your best friend asks you to do something and you say "no". What could it be?
2. If you had only 1 day left for your life, how would you spend it?
3. What defines an artist to you? What features?
4. What non-profit/aid organization would you most propably volunteer and why?
5. Statistically, when people catch their spouses in a "bedroom act" with s stranger, they usually attack the stranger in the first place. What do you think is the reason for such behaviour?

1. I guess he could "command" me to say "no".
2. I would write a detailed testament. Letters of thanks and recommendations and all. Perhaps a very short novel. Then I would probably have a final bottle of a good whisky and who knows what could happen next ;P
3. Me da igual as Spanish say.
4. My own. If I am not supposed to make profit, let me distribute the funds in order to help others.
5. Impulse.

Thanks for nice questions Anna ;]

And Steve for the administration :)

Ready?

These ones come from Anna Żylińska!

1. Suppose your best friend asks you to do something and you say
"no". What could it be?
Except quite obvious no-nos, like murder or theft? Probably something like “Do you think I need a plastic surgery?”.
2. If you had only 1 day left for your life, how would you spend
it?
I think that’s one of the things you don’t know until you actually face the problem.
3. What defines an artist to you? What features?
Uncommon, revolutionary way of seeing things. Special kind of sensitivity. Courage to differ from others.
4. What non-profit/aid organization would you most propably volunteer and why?
Some kind of organization taking care of animals.
5. Statistically, when people catch their spouses in a "bedroom
act" with s stranger, they usually attack the stranger in thefirst place. What do you think is the reason for such behaviour?
I’d agree with Steve’s point of view.
Plus, perhaps they want to believe that their spouse was just a victim in this “accident” and feel the need to punish the aggressor.Aleksandra P. edytował(a) ten post dnia 24.04.09 o godzinie 20:44

1. Suppose your best friend asks you to do something and you say "no". What could it be?
'Can you pee on my doormat?'
2. If you had only 1 day left for your life, how would you spend it?
Drugs, sex and r'n'r.
3. What defines an artist to you? What features?
Creativity.
4. What non-profit/aid organization would you most propably volunteer and why?
A few years ago I 'worked' with people with MS, a few nights a month. It freaked me out big time, so I guess my choice would be 'go green' - I could chain meself to a tree or sommat.
5. Statistically, when people catch their spouses in a "bedroom act" with s stranger, they usually attack the stranger in the first place. What do you think is the reason for such behaviour?
If the stranger is the same sex as the spouse why not join them instead? And to answer you question: hurt pride, perhaps?Jarek A. edytował(a) ten post dnia 24.04.09 o godzinie 20:52

Interesting!
1. Suppose your best friend asks you to do something and you say
"no". What could it be?

Maybe doing something bad to another friend? Betrayal?
2. If you had only 1 day left for your life, how would you spend > it?

I choose love, intimacy and warmth.
3. What defines an artist to you? What features?

Consciousness, criticism, ability to see the culture from a distance.
4. What non-profit/aid organization would you most propably volunteer and why?

In fact I have been a volunteer for more than 2 years now. I enjoy it a lot!!! I am peer sex educator, every day I deal with youth's problems (puberty, contraception and reproductive health), I do on-line counseling. I also advocate for comprehensive and neutral sex education in Poland.
5. Statistically, when people catch their spouses in a "bedroom
act" with s stranger, they usually attack the stranger in the
first place. What do you think is the reason for such behaviour?

One has to get rid of a stranger in order to deal with a problem in a relationship in private;)

courage to think diffrent and a twisted mind
4. What non-profit/aid organization would you most propably volunteer and why?

1. Suppose your best friend asks you to do something and you say "no". What could it be?
anything inmoral or illegal + sex with them (it's still moral and legal but they are friends!)
2. If you had only 1 day left for your life, how would you spend it?
I'd spend it with my son doing everything we love to do together :-D
3. What defines an artist to you? What features?
we differ form each other and the same is with artists so I can't give you any definition.
4. What non-profit/aid organization would you most propably volunteer and why?
I've been doing that so its easy to say. generally, we help people to resolve problems with employment, debts, benefits, housig. I love doing that!
5. Statistically, when people catch their spouses in a "bedroom act" with s stranger, they usually attack the stranger in the first place. What do you think is the reason for such behaviour?
Really, don't know. If I was in that situation, I'd leave the very room and start to pack either my or my husband suitcase (it depend on how big house we had)

1. Suppose your best friend asks you to do something and you say "no". What could it be?
N/A; my friends and I don't ask, we just do things for each other.
2. If you had only 1 day left for your life, how would you spend it?
I'd have a bbq with all my friends and family.
3. What defines an artist to you? What features?
their own perception of the reality
4. What non-profit/aid organization would you most propably volunteer and why?
those that help children from pathological families

Thank you for these questions.
1. Suppose your best friend asks you to do something and you say "no". What could it be?

I suppose a best friend wouldn't ask me anything I would have to say no to. :)
2. If you had only 1 day left for your life, how would you spend it?

Ray Bradbury wrote one of my favourite short stories called "The Last Night of the World". I'd try to preserve my dignity, I guess, by going about the daily activities - I'd probably make dinner and a delicious dessert with the help of my son and we would enjoy a family evening...
3. What defines an artist to you? What features?

The sensitivity to colors, shapes, sounds, words and the ability to transform the reality.
4. What non-profit/aid organization would you most propably volunteer and why?

I don't really know, perhaps something like the science in the public interest.(?) And why? - because it sounds good.
I used to be a volunteer for the children's cancer hospital after my beloved grandma's four years of terminal ilness and during my closest cousin's leukaemia which lasted three years. I don't think I would ever again find the strength to spend time with suffering and dying kids. I hold great respect and admiration for the medical staff at our Wroclaw Bujwida Clinic.
5. Statistically, when people catch their spouses in a "bedroom act" with s stranger, they usually attack the stranger in the first place. What do you think is the reason for such behaviour?

No idea, ask some behaviourist.

why not? it depends on a situation Steve.

What I meant above is that I couldn't have sex with my best friend. it was ages ago when I had an exact situation and I decided not to do that. I loved Tomasz so much AS A FRIEND and there weren't ANY sexual (?) feelings. I felt so sorry but I just couldn't...

what about enemy? what kind of enemy? why is he my enemy? (btw I as far as I'm concerned I don't have any or I don't know that I have :-D)

How does having sex with a friend differ from having sex with an enemy?

I have read your explanation above (good for you! I guess), but if getting jiggy with your mate could afterwards change the relations between you and him/her for worse, then it is equally likely that your worst enemy, once you've given him/her a good shag becomes a valuable and trustworthy ally, if not a friend.

1. Suppose your best friend asks you to do something and you say

probably night out at London West End :)
2. If you had only 1 day left for your life, how would you spend
it?
That would be as simple as going to local aeroclub (Miedzybrodzie Żywieckie/Żar) and having a special last flight with my son on glider. After perfect touch down we would have tasty familly dinner and I would make last phone call to ask my friend to take care about my better half.

I guess prof Zbigniew Lew-Starowicz knows more about that stuff.
generally i don't believe in statistics. ie "Statistically, 9 out of 10 people enjoy gang rape".

I felt like replying to this. I will stay away from Anglosphere right after this, I promise.
1. Suppose your best friend asks you to do something and you say "no". What could it be?
Mixing his/her badly recorded music project/song.
OK, kidding, but I can't seem to find anything closer than that.
2. If you had only 1 day left for your life, how would you spend it?
Writing a long letter. I'd try to keep it limited to 5 pages. The rest, I don't know.
Maybe having sex? Not very creative, I know, but I'm only human :)
3. What defines an artist to you? What features?
Creativity.
If coupled with the productivity... mmmm!
4. What non-profit/aid organization would you most propably volunteer and why?
Greenpeace.
(again, not so creative)
But my organs will be donated once I'm dead and it seems to me the best thing anyone could do before it comes down to volunary work for aid organizations.
5. Statistically, when people catch their spouses in a "bedroom act" with s stranger, they usually attack the stranger in the first place. What do you think is the reason for such behaviour?
Because they don't know the stranger?
It's more fun to hunt down the neighbour's cat in my garden than hunting my own cat.
Doesn't compare?
Get on with it!
:)

btw, if the stranger knew that my spouse's married, s/he also deserves a good punch.
