What would you do's...

1) If polygamy was legal and accepted as an optional lifestyle, would you take another spouse or would you be happy with your present one?

2) If you worked out a way to get into your bank's vault without being spotted, would you rob it?

3) If it was proved today that your first born was switched at birth, would you look for the baby you lost?

4) If you could get automatic forgiveness from one person in the world, who would it be?

5) If killing the people who wronged you was acceptable, would you?

 

Feel free to answer one, or answer all. 

Re: What would you do's...

  • Thank you for this diversion (see above post).

    1. No.  One is more than enough for me, but I do think "to each his own."

    2. I don't think I could live with the guilt.  To me, that is much worse than an externally imposed punishment.

    3. Absolutely.

    4. To my knowledge, there's no one out there who's that mad at me.  There are people who I used to be friends with and we have drifted apart.  I guess if the reason we've drifted is because they couldn't forgive me for something, I would want that so we could be friends again.

    5. No one has wronged me personally that badly.  But if killing people was acceptable, I do think that some people should be killed.  Serial rapists, murderers, child molesters.  You had your chance to reform after the first one.  Now you're done.

    1) If polygamy was legal and accepted as an optional lifestyle, would you take another spouse or would you be happy with your present one? Absolutely. But it would have to work both ways. My husband could have multiple wives, if I could bring another husband into the mix. The more the merrier :)

    2) If you worked out a way to get into your bank's vault without being spotted, would you rob it? If there was no way in hell I would get caugh--absolutely none, I would for sure.

    3) If it was proved today that your first born was switched at birth, would you look for the baby you lost? Yes, but I wouldn't try to get the baby back, i don't think, unless it was too young to realize what happened.

    4) If you could get automatic forgiveness from one person in the world, who would it be? I haven't burned any bridges enough to warrant me needing forgiveness from anyone.

    5) If killing the people who wronged you was acceptable, would you? Yes. However, I give almost everyone a second chance, so they would have had to wrong me twice for me to kill them.

     

    Feel free to answer one, or answer all. 

  • Whoa... heavy questions.

    1.  definitely not... it would be way too much work to have more than one husband.

    2. if there were no consequences to this... it sounds like a good idea.  however, I would probably feel guilty too.  But i could always donate a portion of the cash to help with the guilt.

    3.  tough one... I wouldn't want to know.  If I did find out, I would want to know about the child but I also wouldnt want to give "mine" up that i had raised.  I think it would depend on the ages of the children and such.  I hope I'm never in this position to know what I would do.

    4.  Although there really isnt anything too bad, I think it would have to be from one of my college roommates.  We ended sophomore year not speaking and haven't spoke since except for a name calling incident in a bar a few years later.  That being said, I also have seen her in 5 years, she lives in CA, and I have no desire to be friends again.  Plus I would have to forgive her too which I dont really see happening.

    5.  No one has ever wronged me to that extreme that I could even think about killing them.  But I agree with pp that there are plenty of people in the world that I think deserve to be killed.

  • 1) No, I am happy with one husband.

    2) The question doesn't say anything about what happens after you get out, I don't think I would take any chances.  Besides, I'm an honest girl, and like to work for my money.

    3) I most def. would.  But it brings me to think, what if it was ten years after this happened?  Would you want to switch kids if you found the the one you birthed?  Take them out of their habitat.  I cannot say what I would do, as I would need to be in the situation.

    4)  I'm not looking for forgiveness of anyone at the current moment.  However, I do go by the saying that things are what they are, and if certain things aren't meant to be, then so be it. 

    5). No.

  • 1. One is enough.

    2. No.  I'd feel guilty about it.

    3. Would look for it, but unless the two kids were too young to remember or unless the kid was in harms way...I think I'd let things be aside from maybe keeping in contact with the parents if they were game.

    4. There isn't anybody I need automatic forgiveness from, but there is one person I'd like 'lets just put the shitt between us behind us and move on' to happen for.  That would be my SIL.  We've both not been our best to one another, can we frickin move past it already?

    5. There's nobody that high up on my list.

  • 1) I think relationships can be difficult enough with just two people, so I have no interest in adding more difficulty. Nor am I interested in any other person and I know I couldn't handle another woman in MH's life.

    2) This is kinda tough. Our financial situation is tight and it would be tempting but I couldn't live with the guilt afterward. 

    3) Yes. 

    4) Not sure

    5) No, I couldn't do it. It takes too much energy to stay angry at people who wrong you, I'd rather move on to something positive.

  • 1) If polygamy was legal and accepted as an optional lifestyle, would you take another spouse or would you be happy with your present one?

    No, I am WAY to jealous to share. Besides, one husband is enough to take care of Smile

    2) If you worked out a way to get into your bank's vault without being spotted, would you rob it?

    If I could not in any way get caught, heck yes. I work hard and will never have as much money as some people who don't.

    3) If it was proved today that your first born was switched at birth, would you look for the baby you lost?

    Not sure. I would still want the child I raised to know that I loved them and wouldn't want to interfere with the life of the other child if they were happy. Then again, the curiosity would kill me.

    4) If you could get automatic forgiveness from one person in the world, who would it be?

    Not sure. Maybe my first ex-boyfriend who I broke up with badly.

    5) If killing the people who wronged you was acceptable, would you?

    I can't even kill a mouse, so this is a big NO.

  • 1. Nope couldn't do it. I cannot imagine having to share M with anyone.

    2. Nope- I would feel guilty and always worry about being caught.

    3. Of couse, b/c that means that the baby I have belongs to someone else and they probably want their baby back too

    4. No ida

    5. No I can't harm anything...I can't even kill a mouse and I hate mice.

    1) If polygamy was legal and accepted as an optional lifestyle, would you take another spouse or would you be happy with your present one? No. I'm happy with one man, any more people involved in the relationship would be too complicated.

    2) If you worked out a way to get into your bank's vault without being spotted, would you rob it? I could use the money so I'd probably consider it, but chicken out. If i did do it I would feel so full of guilt it would hardly be worth it.

    3) If it was proved today that your first born was switched at birth, would you look for the baby you lost? i'd definitely look for it, but i dont know what i'd think about switching back. I'd want my natural baby but I'd still love the baby I was raising. It's too hard to know what you would do in a situation like that.

    4) If you could get automatic forgiveness from one person in the world, who would it be? not sure if i've really wronged anyone to that extent

    5) If killing the people who wronged you was acceptable, would you? No, i can hardly kill a bug (sometimes i can't even do that)

     

    Feel free to answer one, or answer all.

    Great minds...

  • 1) If polygamy was legal and accepted as an optional lifestyle, would you take another spouse or would you be happy with your present one? nope, completely happy with just one!

    2) If you worked out a way to get into your bank's vault without being spotted, would you rob it? it would be very tempting, haha... but i wouldnt be able to live with myself

    3) If it was proved today that your first born was switched at birth, would you look for the baby you lost? definitely... but once you knew one you wouldnt want to get rid of that one... just keep them both!

    4) If you could get automatic forgiveness from one person in the world, who would it be? I don't recall anyone that would be mad at me? So can I hold onto it to use later?

    5) If killing the people who wronged you was acceptable, would you? definitely NOT... no matter how bad a person I wouldnt be able to live with the guilt of taking someone's loved one from them.

  • 1) If it were suddenly introduced, I wouldn't want another spouse. That's so weird. If it were always accepted, then who knows what would happen? lol

    2) No. I would somehow screw this up.

    3) Yes, this would bother me. Although the fake child I raised would be pissed.

    4) I don't think I've pissed anyone off enough to wish for this.

    5) Again, if it were always acceptable and that's how society functioned, who knows...but I still think I would have a huge issue taking someone's life. So no, probably not. Not unless they did something REALLY bad maybe. Then still probably not.
