Stolen from Random Question Generator

1. What’s something no one wants to hear but everyone should?  

I really have no idea what to say.  But.....Try this on:  We've just been though a semi-civil war of words while under lock and key caused by a pandemic.  So, I'd say, 'Forgive, Forget, and GET TO WORK fixing this rift. Do it for the Children!"  After all, Christmas is coming, and it should be a time of "Peace that surpasses understanding".

2. What’s the most annoying animal you’ve ever encountered?  That honor would go to a neighbor's son's dog.  It was the most beautiful little puppy, and what happened to it shouldn't have happened to a ..well, a dog.  It was locked up inside a meth house for months, and came out crazy.  It barked incessantly and five hours a day. It attacked people by jumping over the fence and chasing them down the street.  I just remember the lovely little puppy and felt sad about it. 

3. How much does language affect our thinking?  Does this mean something like the "language of love", or the "language of war"?  Rhetoric?  I think how something is presented has a big effect on how we react to words, spoken or written.  Angry words can inflame passions.  Loving words can defuse tension.  However, the same sentence can come out differently if written or spoken without inflection, or even dramatic punctuation.    

4. Do you prefer to watch movies in the theater or in the comfort of your home?  Home.  I hate going to theaters now.  Theaters are, to me and my aging body, both uncomfortable and inconvenient. 

5. What topic could you spend hours talking about?  Geology I love that, and Art, immensely.

6. If you could run away from it all and start fresh somewhere new, would you? No.

7. What’s the most polarizing question you could ask a group of friends?  That would be any thing to do with Politics. So, I don't ask, don't tell, usually.

8. Do movies have the same power as books to change the world?  Nothing can tell a story like a book.  Movies are also powerful but unless it's a series, have you ever seen a movie that does much justice to a very good book?

9. What would you rate 10/10 ? The courage of a soldier under fire, Medical personnel in big emergencies,  Firefighters.  They are the three 10/10 courageous groups on the planet. 

10. What are you really good at, but kind of embarrassed that you are good at it?  

I'm really good at keeping my mouth shut around people of "dubious loyalties".  I envision myself as an Orc Warrior sometimes, and that helps me keep my mouth shut.  For the sake of peace. This policy makes me feel a bit two-faced, but I'm tired of fighting about stuff. 

 

 Namasté 😇

11. Who do you go out of your way to be nice to?  That would be little Kids.  They didn't ask to be born.  And yet, here they are, trying to make the most of it in a hostile environment. 

12. What problems will technology solve in the next 5 years? What problems will it create?  Fusion Energy.  I can't see any problems.

13. What from the present will withstand the test of time?  Well what ever it is, I can assure you it will be made of Plastic.

14. What movie would be greatly improved if it was made into a musical?  Probably, "The Spawn of the Slithus", and a Campy Musical would suit my mood right now.  

15. What is something common from your childhood that will seem strange to future generations? Polio.  And I will never forget that this scourge is gone because of the doctors who worked hard to find a cure.  My mother worried herself sick over polio.  She fretted if we got any sort of fever and there was real fear in her eyes when she took our temperatures.
