    Try to get other people to help pay for her if not I'll go broke.

    You are on the top of a 4 story building and your 4 year old sister jumps off the top. Do you jump seconds after (you are heavier so you catch up before she hits the ground) and have her land on you and have a 75% chance of you dieing and 100% chance of her living or do you not jump off and give her 99% chance of dieing?

    i think i would jump off and hope i dont die lol.

    btw do you guys make up your questions or do you find them somewhere? cuz alot of them are really good, and i can never think of anything good.

    Your at a snack bar and you and your friends are getting food (the bills on you). Your friend gets an ice cream cone, and after having it being handed to him, he walks out of the snack line, and waits for you by the door. You just get a bag of chips, and then its your turn to pay at the cash register. the lady at the cash register asks you if thats all. do you say yes and only pay for your bag of chips (as the cash register will probably not notice your friend by the door) or do you be honest and and say your paying for your friends ice cream as well. *i had a similar situation today on this lol*

    i'd just get away with it


    You are grounded, and you sneak out to go to a party your parents forbade you to go to. On the way home from the party you have had a little to drink and you crash your car into a tree, enough to cause damage, but not enough to total the car. You go home but your parents will surely notice the damage. What do you do?

    go ahead and tell them they will be less mad if i dont hide it from them

    Your sister wants to go somewhere and your mom says that she can go only if you will take her but this would prohibit you from getting your run in for the day...what do you do put yourself and your training first or you sister

    If it was the week before a race I would run. Any other time I could use the another rest day and probably do so core work later that night.

    To alex- I make them up.


    You are the captain of a big cruise ship and the ship was hit by lightning and is sinking fast. You are in the middle of no where and the water is ice cold. Everyone is getting off the boat as quick as possible but you know that you will die if you wait for everyone to get off before you do. NOTE: Captains are suppose to be the last ones off a sinking ship. Do you get on a life boat any way or go down with the ship?

    umm, oops, I think I was answering something on the other page?? I guess I didn't see the 3rd page?? huh, that's weird... sorry!!!

    ok, so to answer that question... I wouldn't put myself before the passengers, but I would be down there helping to load them so that there might be a slight chance that I could get into a lifeboat after everyone else had gone.

    Ok, so I don't know if this one is really hard, but I was thinking about it at work. Where I work, we don't have a tip jar, but if someone tips us, we are supposed to report it when we clock out so that it can be factored into our income for tax purposes. So, if you get some tips, do you report them so you can be taxed? or do yhou just keep quiet. (assume that no one knows you got tips, so no one else is going to call you on it.)

    you forget to clock in and you were late for work...do you fill out a time adjustment sheet saying you came in on time or late?

    I would tell the truth and say I was late.

    This is kind of like my last one, but on a larger scale... i'm having trouble thinking of new ones!!
    So, if there was a way you could reduce your taxes by 75% without anyone knowing, would you do it?

    Yup! I hate tax, no one is asking me if I agree with it or not. I'd just make sure I don't use government facilities, and I wouldn't consider it a crime at all. 25% of our normal tax level is enough to cover roads and police. That's all I want to pay for.


    You are starving, and have one meal left on a desert island. A woman, who you know nothing about, is with you. She doesn't have any food, and is just as hungry as you. You know absolutely nothign about her, and she doesn't speak your language. You can't comunicate at all. Do you give her your last meal?

    Well, you can't live on 0 pay... so I would have to take the other job if I wanted to survive. But, if you mean a job that I loved and didn't pay as much vs. a job I didn't love but payed a lot, I would probably take the job I liked... as long as I could survive relatively comfortably on its salary... otherwise I would have to take the job I wasn't so crazy about.

    Well, this is kind of general, but would you ever put your life at risk to save your dog or cat? if you don't have a dog or cat, pretend you do.

    nope, i dont think an animal is quite worth it unless i was blind and it was my leader dog or something.


    Your cross team has just won the regional meet. The score of the meet between teams 1, 2, 3, 4 was by a small margin. (top 3 teams go to states) By moving just a few runners around the entire outcome of the meet could have been changed. After the meet you find out that one of your teams scoring runners cut the course in the woods when no one was around putting them up 4 places in the race, and without the cheating, your team out of the top 3 teams. Do you tell, and let it be fair, or cheat, and go to states?

    honestly...I would confront them about it tell them that wasnt cool, but it wouldn't be fair to the rest of the teamates.. ooh thats a toughy. hmm Dont they have to see it though?? because I dont think they would go by what someone says. I guess I wouldn't tell. But that makes me feel bad =/

    Would you ever sell drugs or become a prostitute to help save your
    dying spouse/family member etc..?

    if it came down to it, yes.



    Someone you have known since you were little is dying, but they live in another country now (have lived there for like 2 months) you still talk regularly and stuff. Your boss won't give you work off, and he will fire you if you go, do you go??

    I would quit and go to see the person. If your boss won't give you time off for that, then he must be terrible anyways.

    You are diagnosed with a terminal illness and are going to die in 5 months. You have the option of taking a drug and extending this time to one year, but if you do, your organs will be completely unusable for donation. Do you take the drug?

    a bomb is about to go off in the middle of your city and if it does explode, would kill everyone in your city. you are the only one who knows how to deactivate it, however, the bomb is located in a room with toxic fumes that can not be subdued by gas masks. if you go into the room to deactivate the bomb, you will die minutes later. so..do you save the city or yourself?

    oh man, that is so hard. i don't wanna sound selfish by saving myself, but i would try my hardest to save both but in the end it would only probably be me.


    You can see the future, you see a person and you know they are going to die within a few months, but even if they knew there is nothing they could do about it, do you tell them, or let them live peacefully for their last few months.

    Well, if it was just some random person that I didn't know, I would'nt tell them because they would think I'm crazy and wouldn't beleive it and they should just live in peace I guess.
    But if it was someone very very close who knew about my pchyco(sp?) seeeing the future gift and I saw when they were going to die, I might tell them if they are really close.

    If you had to choose between having one of your parents die, or all the 100 something users registered on runner's trail die in the next 2 days. Who would you pick?

    I'd take money and love. honestly, I don't want to be a professional runner...even if there was some way to make me good enough... I don't really like racing. Even if I was good, it would still be a lot of pressure.

    ahhh I can't think of anything.... ok.... here's something: if you had the choice of sacrificing 10 people to save 100, OR sacrificing yourself to save not only those hundred people, but also the other ten, which would you do? (is that confusing?)

    Deaf, definitively. I need to be able to see more than I need to be able to hear.

    This one is for the fellas'. Is there any situation where you could see yourself hitting a girl? Even if you were certain there would be no legal recourse?
