The Question GameI am posting this here because I like it a lot on WTAWorld.ok, when you post you ask a question (like what is your favorite TV show, have you ever been to such and such, ect., ect). the question is not directed at one person, the next poster has to answer it, then make their own question. I will start, this is the question I posted on WTAWorld. Also, it would be nice if Percy would join, since he rarely (if ever) posts here,

Only in certain cases. (Like, just look at the mess Iraq's in) Truthfully, what do you consider yourself, a liberal, centrist, conservative, libertarian, or stratist (believer in a very powerful government)? |
||||||||
| leftys_rock |
We watched it in math the other day, it was hilarious.
Um, probably conservative, but i'm a pretty liberal conservative. |
||||||||
| x.doublea |
You can check by doing this 'quiz', called the World's Smallest Political Quiz. It said I was centrist leaning towards liberal, which I am. http://www.theadvocates.org/quiz.html |

Do you read poetry, if so who is your favorite poet (say Emily Dickinson!!)? |

| leftys_rock |
No actually.  I'm quite surprised. You love these questions don't you Stevos?
How would you rate your life right now on a scale of 1-10 with 10 being best? |
||||||||
| x.doublea |
I would have to say 9.9. I have a very fortunate life, with many priveleges. That 0.1 lost point is probably because I'm sometimes bored, but, often, being bored is a blessing.
Who are you doing in school marks wise at the moment? |
||||||||
| PSALT |
I know! seriously at Stevos' questions!!
-5 no, no, I'm kidding, 9 (it would be 10 except for that bitch Stevos that left me off of his top 8 friends list  )
I wanted to answer that one! |
||||||||
| Benchwarmer1 |

Same question, but with any celebrity. |
||||||||
| PSALT |
Shandi Finnessey, she won Miss America and the first runner up at Miss Universe, she's from Missouri too! or Jessica Alba.
favorite TV show? |
||||||||
| stevos14 |
Well maybe if you didn't insult me so much? Theres a start, bud.
Besides, you werent really a WTAWorld "member" at the time, so I wasn't even taking you into account, or Dave or NEA or Bench (well I guess I could take Bench into account then...) but yeah theres the explanation, dont worry, if you get up to 1000 posts there I will put you on the list! TV Show? Ummm, either Arrested Development, The Office, or The OC. Seinfeld also is amazing. Same with Family guy. |
||||||||
| PSALT |
is there any reason capital punishment should be used? | ||||||||
| Not_Even_Amateur |
Yes to rid the world of paedophiles and such filth. What is with the emphasis on how many posts you have on WTAWorld? It should be quality not quantity, I could rack up 1000 per day if I really felt like it, but I am not that pathetic and all the posts would be rubbish. Why do they do that? |
||||||||
| PSALT |
WTAWorld is flawed in that they put activity above good tennis discussion. Why do they do it, I don't know. You do find good posters if you look though. I am very much enjoying reading the posts of Yamine, I find her very thoughtful and respectful. favorite sports team? |
||||||||
| Benchwarmer1 |
Boston Red Sox, San Antonio Spurs
favorite drink at starbucks? |
||||||||
| leftys_rock |
Vanilla Bean Frappucino.
Yasmine is a nice one, gives me good reps all the time.
Favorite Jamba Juice drink? |
||||||||
| stevos14 |
I only said "when you get to that many" because at the time he really hadn't done anything but signed up for PCT. So I knew that once he had that many posts he would have actually been to other places on the board. I do agree though, some people put so much on amount of posts, not on quality. I dont drink Jamba juice! Most Embarrassing Moment? |
||||||||
| leftys_rock |
I forgot to tighten my bow in my solo and I had started playing already and it sounded terrible.
I'm amazed at how TheBoiledEgg has 120,000+ posts!
Do you like Christmas or New Year's better? |
||||||||
| PSALT |
Christmas, no question!
how would you prefer to die? (that's a really weird question) |
||||||||
| leftys_rock |
Naturally.
Physics, Chem, or Bio? |
||||||||
| PSALT |
Bio obviously! more specific! is Santa real? |
||||||||
| leftys_rock |
Well, in my sleep and not violently. Specific enough?
No. Actually, if Santa was real, he would have to travel at twice the speed of light and spend 2 seconds at each house if he was to make it before light in all time zones.
Favorite instrument in orchestra? |
||||||||
| PSALT |
violin, then the cello, then the viola, then the trumpet.
favorite rock group? |
||||||||
| leftys_rock |
Panic! at the Disco and then Nickelback.
Favorite singer(just singer, no group)? |
||||||||
| x.doublea |
I can't answer for the favourite rock group, but let's just think about the santa question... I think the majority of kids would be labelled 'naughty'. That cuts the number of houses he has to visit..... |
||||||||
| J-man |
Don't have a favorite singer though |
||||||||
| Benchwarmer1 |
Favorite Rock Group: Led Zeppelin, Rush, Iron Maiden, Black Sabbath and Cacophony
Favorite Singer: Michael Buble, Freddie Mercury (Queen), Geoff Tate (Queensryche) and Bruce Dickinson (Iron Maiden) |
||||||||
| PSALT |
are parents lying to their children about Santa? should they stop, or is it all right? | ||||||||
| Not_Even_Amateur |
Churches lie about God all of the time, so why not...it makes Chirstmas all the more magical. Do you believe in sex before marriage?
|
||||||||
| leftys_rock |
Until a certain age. When they are old enough, they will understand enough about life to know he isn't real. Favorite Christmas song sung by a popular singer/band? |
||||||||
| Benchwarmer1 |
Last Christmas (cover) - Jimmy Eat World Favorite Fast food Chain? |
||||||||
| x.doublea |
No. About the Santa question... why destroy a child's imagination. About churches, what's disturbing is that they use the Old Testament as a way for quotations of morals, etc. (Ex. anti-same sex equality). New Testament is the way of Christian life, the Old Testament is simply a story book which has just so many self-contradictions. What's your view on Iraq? |
||||||||
| PSALT |
how risque, lol no what is your opinion of illegal immigration (this is more for the Americans, but it doesn't matter either way)? |
||||||||
| PSALT |
we have so many questions going on at the same time... | ||||||||
| Tennis fan |
I'll answer on illegal immigration: Bush wants to build a fence across the US border. I say it's better to build the wall like in China, except we can make it BIGGER and BETTER, since that is what we do here in the US. Hey, since only illegal immigrants work in construction, we can hire a bunch of them to build this wall. This way they will leave enough holes so that no one is going to have the need to take the wall down, like they did in Berlin.
So my opinion on Bush is that he is stupid! What's yours? |
||||||||
| x.doublea |
He's simply the worst thing that has happened to this World in the past 15 years. And he's dumb and states the obvious. This week, his claim on Iraq was that it wasn't as successful as it should be "because the insurgents were disrupting the stabilization process." Like, DUH! And, hate to say it, but when Saddam Hussein was in power, yes, Iraqi citizens were pushed around, but they probably didn't have to dodge bullets everytime they crossed the street. Now they do because: (a)America, unfortunately, is not wanted in that country; and (b) Bush went in for no reason at all. What was the real cause for them going into Iraq? Probably money... misuse of information obviously helps. So... Nixon gets impeached for wire-tapping, and Bush isn't even being questioned by the media due to the countless number of deceptions and distortions of knowledge? What the heck has happened to the American media?! And the funny thing is, his words in public are just flip flopping right now. Tow month ago he says, "Yes, absolutely, we're winning', and now, he's saying ,"No, we're not winning, we're losing?" Why the heck did people vote for this knuckle-head? Can't they see reality? |
||||||||
| leftys_rock |
#1, if you say something bad about the president, even casually, you could possibly be questioned if somebody of importance found out. Media as well.
And also, even if another president was elected, not much you can do about Iraq at the moment, if we withdraw, the insurgents will claim victory and the US will lose it's "superpower" status, if we stay, there could be a humongous shift in leadership which could possibly make things worse. Yes, Bush is stupid, but 1.5 more years and the big election comes around. |
||||||||
| x.doublea |
I'm perfectly aware of the Iraq situation, and how the US (and the UK) is sort of stuck. The president has proven to the World that thinking before acting is a very important step to adequate success. |
||||||||
| leftys_rock |
I'm just really tired of hearing about people dying in Iraq on the news. I know, it's sad, but i'm honestly so tired about it. Just wish it could end so it wouldn't end up taking like a huge block of news.
I'll be boring and ask what's your favorite flavor of ice cream. |
||||||||
| x.doublea |
Green tea.
|
||||||||
| leftys_rock |
Me too. Unfortunately, the American brands don't make that flavor.  I have to go to a Japanese supermarket.
Favorite type of coffee? |
||||||||
| x.doublea |
Don't drink coffee... I'm a herbal tea kind of person.... |
||||||||
| leftys_rock |
Ah. I drink both. Favorite book you've read? x.doublea, put out some questions on the table. |
||||||||
| Tennis fan |
The brethren - John Grisham
Never heard of Green Tea ice cream - sounds nice for someone who like green tea like me! Have you read any of Grisham's books? |
||||||||
| PSALT |
he sounds very familiar..... cats or dogs? |
||||||||
| leftys_rock |
Oh man, that's hard. Ummm....cats
White or dark chocolate? |
||||||||
| PSALT |
white what is up with these Tati cheescake avatars? |
||||||||
| leftys_rock |
There was this youtube video on how she loved cheesecake, so Craig made a joke of it.
How is the Ivanovic forum now? |
||||||||
| PSALT |
haven't checked.
anybody gonna join me in Viva la Tati?!?! it's quite nice. Craig is there, as is XCoco..... |
||||||||
| leftys_rock |
They're going to ask me why Tati isn't in my sig. I'll read though.
|
||||||||
| PSALT |
at least you like her! some sick people do a lot worse and go into forums of players they hate! 
they are trying to come up with a sig addition over there. they are thinking Tati and the Cheesecake factory or something..... favorite smiley? |
||||||||
| leftys_rock |
I would say something, but i'm not going to. Yeah, they should. I love the sig additions, like Cocktail Party, 3AM Rollercoaster, SS Dementieva, Maria Mafia, Philistines Society, Royal Court.
This one: 
Favorite Sharapova fan? 
|
||||||||
| Benchwarmer1 |
Chris Favorite 1hbh to watch? |
||||||||
| leftys_rock |
I'm not sure whether to roll my eyes or laugh.
Justine Henin-Hardenne Favorite forehand to watch? |
||||||||
| PSALT |
Davenport is Sharapova overrated? |
||||||||
| Benchwarmer1 |
either one will be fine Fed or Blake favorite christmas time treat? |
||||||||
| leftys_rock |
You do realize that if they see it, they're gonna notice something. A bit too much media attention for every little thing, I prefer less attention, but by no means is she overrated. She has made large steps in improvement, which I am very happy to see. And she wants to improve weaknesses in her game. How do you rate your own serve? |
||||||||
| PSALT |
why? it is simply a question that I hear a lot. I don't agree with it.
bad opinion of Michael Jackson? |
||||||||
| x.doublea |
It can be on at times, but since during the winter, I have limited access to tennis, it is, ultimately, not something overly dependable. Who do you consider a better player, Stefan Edberg or Boris Becker? |
||||||||
| leftys_rock |
Ah ok. Most people ask that if they don't like her. |
||||||||
