(no subject)
What's the worst thing someone could do? Be a useless waste of space who never contributed anything in their life. Or worse, was only destructive during their lives.
What's the worst thing someone could do to you? If I had to think about that, I'd say, "hurt the people I love".
What's the worst thing that could happen to you? See above. Also, spending the rest of eternity in Hell would also not be on my to-do list, now that I think about it.
What's the worst thing someone could say about a person? That they were useless and a failure. Someone who never amounted to anything in anyway.
What's the best thing someone could say about a person? That they were a good person and that they improved the lives of those around them.
Are men and women basically different? Definitely. More because of nurture than nature, I think.
Which is better, to be a woman or to be a man? Well, I guess I'd be in the position to compare the two. In which case, I say being a man. Hygiene is much easier and our clothing is practical.
What can men do that women can't do? Become pope.
What can women do that men can't do? Give birth.
Is it possible to change genders? If you piss off a witch.
How old is old enough to have sex? I don't think some people are ever old enough to have sex but, for the purposes of this question I'll say 18.
Is it wrong to have sex if you're unmarried? No.
Is it wrong to have sex with someone other than your spouse if you're married? I wouldn't do it. But, what consenting adults do is their own business.
Is it wrong to have sex with a person of the same gender? See the above answer.
Is it wrong to have sex with a person of a different race (or a different intelligent non-human species)? No to the first and to the second... we're talking aliens and not dolphins, right? If it's the former than, I don't care and I don't want to hear about it. If it's the latter than that's disgusting and I don't want to hear about it.
Is it wrong to have more than one sexual partner at the same time? It depends on how committed you and your respective partners are to one another, I guess.
Is it wrong to have sex with someone you don't love? No.
What are the responsibilities of a mother toward a child? To love them, protect them and provide for them.
What are the responsibilities of a father toward a child? Same as the mother's. And, if he has a son, to be a good role model.
What are the responsibilities of a child toward a parent? That depends on his relationship with his parents. If they're abusive or neglectful, then I don't think a child has any responsibility towards them. If they're not then he should grow up to be a good person who would make his parents proud and take care of them if necessary. (Though, ideally, though should be prepared to take care of themselves. Even in old age.)
Which should be more important to you, your parent or your child? Your children. You brought them into the world and they depend on you.
Which should be more important to you, your parent or your spouse? Your spouse. You chose to have them in your life and one of the points of getting married is to leave behind your old family and make a new one.
Which should be more important to you, your child or your spouse? Again, your child for the reasons stated previously.
Is it wrong to have a child if you're unmarried? No. Things happen.
Is abortion wrong? Not being a woman, it's not my place to judge.
Is contraception wrong? No.
Is there one true religion? They're pretty much all the same, really.
Does a deity or deities exist? Yes.
How important is it to believe in a deity or deities? It all depends on how much it helps you get through the day.
How important is it to actively practice your religion? Again, it depends on how much it helps Some people don't need to go to church every week and some do.
Does magic exist? Yes.
Is practicing magic wrong? I don't see why it would be.
Is killing always wrong? Depends on who you kill and why. Killing someone in self-defense isn't because they brought it on themselves. Other areas on more gray and depend on the circumstances. I can't even say murder is always wrong (morally, anyway) because some people just deserve it.
Is war always wrong? It's awful but sometimes necessary and justified.
How old is old enough to fight in a war? Never, really. But, again, for the purposes of this question I'll say 18.
Is rape always wrong? Yes, God.
Is torture always wrong? No, but that doesn't mean you can be excessive or sadistic. The stuff most people think of when they think torture - inflicting physical pain on a person - should only be used if absolutely necessary. Think ticking time bomb scenario. But even then it should only be used when other avenues have been exhausted and by someone who knows what they're doing and who knows how to read people.
Is theft always wrong? Usually but not always. Sometimes that's the only way to get intel.
Is slavery wrong? Yes. And economically backwards.
Is lying wrong? If it hurts someone or would hurt someone if they knew, then yes. Otherwise, no.
Is swearing wrong? Fuck, I hope not.
