    Would you rather play the 'would you rather' game forever or would you rather that people rather didn't and wouldn't inflict these games on us?

    I have no idea what you are talking about lol. I don't enjoy blowing anyone up.
    You also forgot to mention that the USA gives away literally BILLIONS of dollars to other countries in need. Just saying.

    didn't mean to inflict a form of torture on you. I was just trying to start a thread where people didn't feel the need to be jerks...

    I think the technical term for that is interest, which the Chinese receive with thanks.

    You certainly did!!
    Lol, I feel sorry for the poor man who was trying to be nice and help me to my cab. I knocked us both over three different times and got him a scraped knee...

    Parts of America are great, cheap clothes and great customer service, others are crap, people keep to themselves and everybody wants to shoot you.

    Would you rather be forced to watch Norbert 100 times over, or be given the option to gauge your eyes out right there and then?

    Of course, as we all know, female babies are incapable of peeing or puking on anyone.

    Eventually I did get a sister. And she never peed or puked on me lol.
    But that same day I told my brother to hide inside th clothing racks at the mall. we couldn't find him for two hours. My mother had them close the whole mall and they still didn't find him. my mom sat down and started crying. I just patted her on the back and told her it was okay. we can stop by the hospital on the way home and get another one... I was in quite a bit of trouble when she found him and he told on me though.. haha

    I'd be happy blurting everything out... I talk enough **** as it is... e.g...

    Would you rather fight 100 duck sized horses with the jaw strength of a regular horse or one horse sized duck? and why?

    Not really a hypothetical question since they both existed.

    I'd rather fight a herd of eohippus than go up against bullockornis




    bullockornis was, as every time traveller knows, the daemon duck of doom
    Bullockornis stood approximately 2.5 metres (8 ft 2 in) tall. It may have weighed up to 250 kg (550 lb). Features of Bullockornis's skull, including a very large beak suited to shearing, indicate that the bird may have been carnivorous. The bird's skull is larger than that of many small horses

    I don't think you understand the correct meaning of the word hypothetical... wether or not something existed has no bearing on its use...

    Thanks for the tiny donkey video tho!
