If you could have 8 dinner guests who would they be?
Guests can be past or present, or even fictional. Please state your reason for each individual.
My first two dinner guests would be Jesus and Hitler to see if their opinions of modern life were as they imagined when they were alive and if they liked one another.
My other guests would include Christopher Columbus, William Blake, Oliver Reed, Dante, Che Guevara and Cleopatra.
22 AnswersOther - Society & Culture1 decade agoIf you could be a natural disaster what would it be?
I have considered that if I could be a tsunami I would wash all the good people away from poverty and suffering to the safety of a self-sufficient paradise, and wash all of the bad people away to hell or Hull; not sure which is worse.
21 AnswersWeather1 decade agoAt what age do men start smelling of cabbage and why?
I have noticed that a few people I know in their late 50's have recently started smelling of cabbage. At 36 do I have anything to worry about and what is the technical name and biological reason for the cabbage smell?
11 AnswersMen's Health1 decade agoWhy do soldiers find it acceptable and appropriate to rape women during times of war?
It happened in Vietnam, it happened in WWII, it happened in Bosnia and it is still happening in Iraq. These soldiers wouldn't normally rape women whilst at home out of uniform but why do they perform such a crule act, mainly on innocent young women who are supposed to be protected by these soldiers and pose no threat whatsoever?
56 AnswersMilitary1 decade agoIf Prince Harry is killed in action whilst serving in Iraq will the blame lay in the hands of Bush & Blair?
A member of the British Monarchy is killed in action whilst serving for his country in an unnecessary war. How will the royal family view this? I know they will come up with the usual stiff-upper-lip routine of he died fighting for his country but will the son of Diana (the princess of peace) really be allowed to rest in peace after being a casualty of Americas war on Arab countries to secure oil.

13 AnswersLaw Enforcement & Police1 decade agoIf you could steal/commandeer/loot anything what would it be?
Besides the obvious: Money/cash, Jewellery,Gold etc. I am looking to do a job that involves a fast, efficient and light exit; but profitable. Something small but valuable like a van full of micro-chips or a Gillette warehouse full of razors at £12.00 for 5, or even a photographers selling memory cards for digital cameras.
2 AnswersOther - Society & Culture1 decade agoWhy do I find myself beginning to sympathize with extremists?
Although I cannot and will not ever condone the suffering of innocent human beings I cannot help but understand that these people actually have a valid point when half the world is obese and the rest is starving. America gives aid to the Jews but ignores other countries that desperately need the aid. When I hear the alleged facts it makes me hate Blair and bush more than I do already. Why do I feel a need to side with terrorists?
7 AnswersOther - Cultures & Groups1 decade agoDo the majority of heart attack victims deserve to have heart disease?
Bearing in mind that heart disease is generally caused by smoking, bad diet, lack of excercise etc. and can, in most cases, be avoided. I give generously to a number of charities including The Heart foundation, Save the Children and Cancer Research and I need to drop one of them due to a lack of funds; I am becoming a charity. Is giving to the heart foundation a waste of time because people wont help themselves? It's not like breast cancer, this is unavoidable to some woman no matter how they live their lives.
15 AnswersDiet & Fitness1 decade agoWhy are people so stupid in this country?
Having watched big brother I cannot comprehend how stupid Jade, Danielle and Jades backward boyfried really are. It's the 21st century and we live in an educated, capitalist society where people like Jade and her boyfriend still struggle with the idea of geographic location, spelling, mathematics and basic science. Why is this? Civilisations that existed 4,000 years ago are, mentally, more advanced than these people and, no doubt, others like them.
22 AnswersOther - Cultures & Groups1 decade agoWhy do smokers assume that their nasty habit isn't deterimental to the health of others?
The majority of smokers I meet immediately jump on the defensive and are very unsympathetic when I remark that their smoking is not only exspensive but it smells, irritates my eyes and affects the functioning of my lungs. If I had a habit that caused me to spit mucus from my eyes every other hour because I liked the feeling it gave me, people would say that it was disgusting and unhygienic. What's the difference?
6 AnswersOther - Cultures & Groups1 decade agoWhy do Black kids under-perform at school?
Statistics show that in all westernized societies kids from an afro-caribbean backgrounds under-perform against their white/asian/arab counterparts. It appears that from the ages of 4-8 everyone appears to be on a par until the age of 13. Why is there a drop and what causes this? Even in the best schools where Black kids do particularly well they are still behind whites and well behind asian kids.
19 AnswersOther - Cultures & Groups1 decade agoHas anyone else's life been made a misery by the FSA?
The self-appointed dictators that are the FSA have introduced more bureaucracy and complications that are closing business', casuing unemployment and confusing the clients that they should be protecting. Do the government really know what the FSA are doing to the industry and does anyone want to petition against these wankers?

I recently visited a hotel that was, strictly, for mixed couples only and the words," They'll be no Marco Polo's here" were displayed against the notice. The meaning/definition of this notice is really the query.
