1- On what things do you NOT depend on anyone else?
If are talking financially, I am independent. Outside of that, I don't know. I think I get all sorts of support from the people around me.

2.- You go outside and look to the north, what do you see?
My building. If I'm looking out the window the view is very nice. Manhattan skyline. A little bit of the Manhattan Bridge and a little bit of the Williamsburg Bridge.

3.- Have you betrayed someone's trust?
Im sure I've told secrets and broken promises, flaked out on responsibilities. But I dont think I've ever caused someone to lose complete trust in me.

4.- How many times have you been disappointed in people?
I hold people to high expectations and I find myself disappointed often. But I try not to show it unless I think its productive for them to do so.

5.- Whta would you parents say to me if I asked them what is your best trait?
Hmm. I think what my mom likes most about me and what she'd brag about to a stranger about me is that im helpful. Not just like, let me do the dishes for you. But she always emphasized growing up that its important to help people.
My dad, I dont know. I think what he'd value the most in me if he could see me as an adult, would be that im a hard worker and i dont give up on what i want. When I think about the sort of man he was and all that he accomplished and did, I think those are traits he'd be proud of.

1. Because I like how it made me think, I'm going to steal Insertnamehere's question - What would you parents say to me if I asked them what is your best trait?

Well my family has shrunk alot lately, but I'd say they would tell you my best trait is my ability to make people feel comfortable around me. I seem to -draw- people for whatever reason, my family included. So alot of the time, I was the only reason they'd actually come together.

2. What makes your neighborhood unique?

Hmmm the fact that we're the "county seat" and don't have a single damn grocery store *Chuckles*
Okay I don't know if it's actually -unique- but it annoys the shit out of me.

3. Besides English (or the official language of your country) what is the second most commonly spoken language in your are?

East Indian? I think? I can't tell you what language it is, but I know I can't understand a word being said. (Just smile and nod, man. Just smile and nod)

4. And do you know any words in that language?

See above. *Chuckles* To be fair, there are only a few words I know in -any- language. I do well enough speaking English without tripping over my tongue....or fingers as the case may be.

5. If you were given the power, what is one law you would create to improve your city, region, or country?

Legalize marijuana and if you can't do that one, at least do something about the damn healthcare. I'll take either or.

1. What's your favorite personal Christmas story? (Grandma got runover by a reindeer, aunt got drunk and tipped over backward in her chair to land in the christmas tree, whatever you got)

2. What's been your absolute favorite Christmas present of all time?

3. What odd things and/or places have you stuck your dick(or finger/s) into?

4. How much time do you spend watching TV each day?

5. Are you still in contact with any of the friends/acquaintance you had in school? If still in school, then let's drop it down to elementary school

[Genersis]

1. Because I like how it made me think, I'm going to steal Insertnamehere's question - What would you parents say to me if I asked them what is your best trait? They would say I'm intelligent. Which hasn't been true for a good dozen or so years.
2. What makes your neighborhood unique?
My local area is incredibly diverse, in just about every way imaginable. Though, if the Office of National statistics are correct, my area is statistically the youngest(or at least one of) in the UK.
3. Besides English (or the official language of your country) what is the second most commonly spoken language in your are?
Can't really say for sure.
I mean, it's really easy to hear three or more different languages a day while just walking around.
I would guess though, either Arabic or perhaps one of the Indian languages?
4. And do you know any words in that language?
No.
I'm really bad with languages, English included.
Not that I have anything against other languages, or learning them.
5. If you were given the power, what is one law you would create to improve your city, region, or country?
Hmm...very difficult...there are so many problems. Housing and air pollution especially.
...
...
I would pass a law making the government legally required to provide housing for citizens, at affordable prices if they are able to pay.

It makes me so mad to see so many homeless people on the streets.
All the government and councils seem interested in doing is shooing them elsewhere, and passing new legislation to make such easier.

Also, it will aid a problem for many young people who aren't homeless, who are currently often forced to leave the city and their family/community just to find a home even remotely affordable to rent. let alone buy.

The law would force the government to recognise housing(AKA shelter) as a basic human need, one that I believe should be a right.
Homelessness in the least should be recognised as a fundamentally life-threatening condition, not a state of being that can be ignored.


Ah, looks like I was a bit slow in responding...:redface:

I'll let Gideon's questions carry over to the next poster.

[MikeW]

1. - What would you parents say to me if I asked them what is your best trait?
My parents wouldn't answer. They're dead. But even if they weren't, they'd be hard pressed to come up with anything. My mom would probably say something fairly vapid like, "he's a good boy." My dad? Pft. He considered me the biggest disappointment of his life. He literally told me that. More than once.

2. What makes your neighborhood unique?
"Unique?" I don't know that it is, "unique." It's a student ghetto. An up-scale one to be sure. Five blocks to the UC Berkeley Campus along College Ave. Easy walking distance to Memorial Stadium, Frat Row (there's a non-greek frat right next door), International House, and Café Strada.




Oh, yeah, and right around the corner is Bernard Maybeck's architectural masterpiece, First Church of Christ Scientist, right across the street from infamous (some) People's Park.





3. Besides English (or the official language of your country) what is the second most commonly spoken language in your are?[sic]
Umm.... Area is vague. I mean, Spanish overall, probably. But right here in the building I live in? Without a doubt, Chinese. I mean, I'm one of maybe three caucasians in this building. I've seen a couple Indians (as in, from India) but ALL the rest are ethnically Asian and predominantly Chinese-American.

4. And do you know any words in that language?
No.

5. If you were given the power, what is one law you would create to improve your city, region, or country?
I would abolish all laws and mandate: “This soil and the air space extending above it shall not be a part of any nation and shall not be subject to any entity’s jurisdiction.” <<< Total freedom.

The monument upon which these words are inscribed sits at the main entrance to the UC Berkeley Campus:




Have you ever done anything sexually that you feel ashamed of?
Is there anything that you fantasize about doing sexually that you haven't done?
Are you happy with the size of your penis (assuming you have one)?
Are you more a top or a bottom or neither or both?
What's the best sexual experience you've ever had?

(Mr Mike is EVIL!!!) :eek:

Oh well... so... whoever is next can answer ALL FIFTEEN QUESTIONS!!!!!

[Miles]

Well it's only ten since [MENTION=2362]Genersis[/MENTION] magnanimously opted to forgo adding 5 of his own. 10 questions I'll leave for someone else to answer, because none of them apply to me in any worthwhile or interesting way.
[MENTION=20947]MikeW[/MENTION] your dad couldn't tell his mouth from his asshole and his asshole probably spoke truer but not as true as the hole from whence he spewed you

How goes the recovery by the way?
