Would you be up to the challange?

For people that saw Eagle Eye would you be up to that kind of challange?

I mean, for me, I'm a smoker- so when the thing called me I would have to have told them something like "You know, I'm a smoker so.... I'm going to fail you....so, can you pick someone else"

Think about it... what if something tragic that happens in movies would happen to you- would you be able to cope?

Update:

No Maxie, that's why I just ball up and suck my thumb.

Update 2:

Well, now the cat's out of the bag... whoopsie.

    That would be a definite no for the Eagle Eye challenge. But c'mon Doc, you know that you are the king of coping. Tragic happenings movie style - piece of cake. That's why people like us work in mental health - because we have excellent coping skills. You know it's true.

    Well, I wasn't going to tell anyone about the sucking your thumb thing, but since it's out there...

    I don't think I would be able to. I always used to think that when I was younger and watched Buffy the Vampire Slayer. I was like, "I could take those demons any day!" But then if I really thought about it, if I came into contact with something like that, I would FREAK OUT. It would not be a pretty sight. And I think in Eagle Eye (which is a awesome movie I think) I would panic. I wouldn't be able to handle it.

    Yes I believe I could even though I am a smoker. I would have to dig down deep and find that inner strength. I am sure it would hurt like hell for a while but it would pass. Courage is not the opposite of Fear Courage is how you react in the presence of Fear.

    lol, I'm with you on the smoking. If I was in that predicament (similar scenario would be Die Hard 3) and the caller said something like "you have 5 minutes to get to a phone 43 blocks away" I'd ask to just be killed then. Preferably quicker than the heart attack I'd have on block 3.

    if i had a choice between yes and no, and know that nothign would happen id probably choose no

    but if i had no choice and i would be called up and stuff, i would be too scared to say no, so id say yes lol

    i probably would do what the charcaters in movies do when they face tragic stuff in movies. at the end of the movie, i always end up agreeing qnad thinking of doing the same thig they would do in situations.
