I read a book/books about a man that claimed he has conversations with God.
So that is why I am putting this in the religious section. He asked his readers if they had to choose, which would they prefer to see or be most comfortable with seeing outside in the streets.
A. people making love to each other
Or
B. people killing each other.

Which would you prefer?

Definitely people making love to each other, it's a natural beautiful act, although better done behind closed doors, I'd still rather that then people killing each other.

I would however have to cover my kids eyes, not ready to have the entire "sex talk" yet. ;)

God help anyone who would answer B.

I will stick with A thank you.

Sonador101 · Jun 13, 2008, 08:30 AM

OK I'll admit it I am a little of a prude, but if I had to choose one I'd choose it would be A. now why would anyone want to see people killing each other?

You did not specify other background information that could influence the approach to an answer to this question.
Excluding the situation in which the community the person - who is asked to answer lives in - is under deep stress and under threat of being attacked and destroyed (so where self-defensive is required), each person here will answer possibility A, that people make love to each other .

But actually that answer is just as illogical and objectionable as answer B, as making love to all people around you is also not a realistic option.
Keeping to my own position half of the people who live around me are males, and I have no need or wish to make love to males. Also I feel no need to make love to the majority of women. I have a very good woman as permanent mate, but occasionally meet another woman who by her presence and approach activates hormones in my body that remind me that males are natural "hunters" in all aspects of life.

The question should have been : A. people who love each other, or B. people killing each other.
If it was asked that way, my reply would be A.

:D

Cred
I asked the question as the author of the book asked it.

Plain and simple. Which would you rather see, not which you would rather engage in.

Choux · Jun 14, 2008, 12:14 PM

It is a totally ridiculous question except in times of the total destruction of civilization!

NEITHER, thank you. :)

Alty · Jun 14, 2008, 12:42 PM

Wow, you all are taking this a bit too seriously, it's a question, with only two
Very specific answers, one or the other, which will it be? It's really not
Difficult to decide based on the way the question is phrased and the answers
That are available. It's a no brainer really. ;)

Fr_Chuck · Jun 14, 2008, 12:49 PM

Rather not see either but at least the naked people can both be arrested and no innocent person is hurt.

bushg · Jun 14, 2008, 12:56 PM

Lol fr.. love it

The problem with that approach is : why do you repeat a question by someone else, if that question is meaningless and/or irrelevant because of it's incorrect wording ?

:rolleyes:

Alty · Jun 14, 2008, 05:05 PM

Credendovidis, it's called freedom of speech and freedom of the press etc. etc.
It may be irrelevant to you, but obviously it wasn't to the author. The fact of the
Matter is that this is the way the author wrote it, and this is the question that he/she
Has put forth. You don't have to answer, that's up to you, as you also have freedom
Of speech, nes pas?

The laws of the US republic are not relevant in this discussion.
My point is that the question is meaningless because of it's incorrect wording.
One may of course post meaningless questions.
But I may of course just as well also post my response in which I explain why such questions are meaningless...

:rolleyes:

bushg · Jun 14, 2008, 05:18 PM

Cred, If I had wanted an input on the wording, I would have pm'd you. Why must you try to control every thread (nah don't answer). Bye, Go away, shoo.

Alty · Jun 14, 2008, 05:22 PM

Well Credendovidis, I don't live in the US either, but I still covet my right
To say what I feel and think, because that is a human right. You are in fact
Using your freedom of speech at this very moment, so I think you may agree
With that.

And yes, you do have the right to state your opinion about the question, you also
Have the right to not respond if you find the question or post to be silly or not relevant
To you or your life.

How is the wording incorrect, it's pretty cut and dry, black and white, choose one
Or the other, or choose to abstain from choosing, it's not hard dear, you're just making
It hard. I guess I'm making it hard too by getting into this discussion with you.

We agree to disagree, obviously. What you choose is your choice, and your opinion,
As it is also my choice and opinion what I choose. So be it. :)

I have not changed my choice, make love not war, so definitely A. :)

What a laughable and silly comment that is!!
Next time you post a question do not forget to state that you only like to receive supporting comments... LOL

:D

bushg · Jun 14, 2008, 05:34 PM

Yep, your right, your aways right support me or go away:D

Lucky you too ! :)
Once more : the point is that the question is meaningless as it is.
Whoever likes to reply as per the original question : just go ahead.
And for those who prefer to post their opinion based on a serious format of a moral or ethical approach, just include whatever you think of the question in your reply.

After all, the inquisition years are fortunately already a couple of hundred years in the past!

:rolleyes:

"your right" , "aways" : what gibberish is that?

:D

Alty · Jun 14, 2008, 05:36 PM

Cred, this is a question that an author wrote in a book that bushg is reading. What
Part of all that are you having trouble understanding? It's not her question, she didn't
Make it up, nor did she write the words that formed that question.

It is an interesting question, and many people gave their answers. Not you, you decided to start an argument about the wording, and the meaning, and why this, and why that, are you having some trouble understanding the question, should I break it down for you word by word, would that help?

There are no supporting comments or negative comments for this type of questions, A or B, there is no C, jeesh!

You seem to like to cause controversy, well dear, bushg is a respected member of this
Site, so I suggest that maybe you respect her wishes and stop posting on this thread if
All you are going to do is disparage it.
