More surveying

(FYI, these are coming from here)
I have no idea why

2501. What image, scent, memory, etc. would you take with you into the dark/light, the land of dead, heaven, infinity.....? Babies' hair.

2502. Who is the most annoying musical artist EVER? Uh...Frank Sinatra?

2503. If you HAD to go to one of the following concerts, which would it be:
Snow
Vanilla Ice
NKOTB
Milli Vanilli

BSB
NSYNC

2504. Do you believe in manifest destiny? No. But I do know what it means. Yay: history degree!

2505. Have you ever fallen for an email forwarding hoax (send this to 13 people and old navy will send you a $200.00(100 pound) gift card)? Do you ever think 'well, maybe...' and actually forward those damn things? Uh, no.

2506. Let's say there are 2 schools. one for boys and one for girls. They are both supposed to offer the same facilities so that the girls and boys get equal education. Would you take this to mean that the same courses should be offered to both girls and boys or that the same amount of money should be spent on each school? Both schools should have the same budget and the same courses, AND the same number of athletic options.
Imagine that in the boys school fifteen boys sign up for calculus. In the girls school only five girls sign up for calculus. Should the girls calculus class be dissolved and replaced with an easier one? Of course not!

2509. Is there anything you do just because you want to even though it has no redeeming social value? Er...memes?

2511, Do you ever 'conveniently' forget something you don't want to remember? Yup. Why is that word in quotes? :-)

2514. What was the first movie you got on DVD? Chocolat, for Christmas the year we got a DVD player.

2515. If you're sexy and you know it clap your hands. Did you clap? What a travesty on a cute kids' song! (no)

2528. What do your socks look like? White.

2529. Which of these really famous music artists started their career as a mime:
Alice Cooper
David Bowie
Bruce Springsteen

No clue, don't care, move on.


2530. Does love float away if you let go? Hopefully not, but there is always that possibility.

2531. Do you think that most people in today's society are:

able to really connect with others?

If you answered no to any of the above, why do you think that is? These are not qualities modern society rewards.

2532. Do you believe that every action has a sexual motive (think Freud)? No. That's stupid. There are usually unconscious motives, but I wouldn't presume to think those are always sexual.

2535. ID: In Freudian theory, the division of the psyche that is totally unconscious and serves as the source of instinctual impulses and demands for immediate satisfaction of primitive needs (sex, food, aggressive behavior, drugs, alcohol, yelling, anger, fighting).
SUPEREGO: In Freudian theory, the division of the unconscious that is formed through the internalization of moral standards of parents and society, and that censors and restrains the ego.
So, which one do you express more, your ID or your SUPEREGO?:
What happened to Ego? OK, to answer the question, my SuperEgo pretty much runs my life. Except when I'm online.

2536. Do you think that people who are alone and depressed are depressed because they are alone or alone because they are depressed? My own personal experience is the latter.

2537. Can you complete any of the following lyrics:
I stop and I stare too much, afraid that I care too much...
You're a new and better man, he helps you to understand, He does everything he can, he's....
Took the needles from my arms and put them to the sky...
Top Gun shut down your Firm like Tom Cruise....
Don't you take it so hard now, And please don't take it so bad....

2538. How about these?
From around the way, born in '73, Harcore B-boy named...
And this feeling shivers down your spine, Love comes in colors I can't deny....
Before he hung up the phone he took a deep breath, stopped, and replied....
When I want you in my arms, when I want you and all your charms, whenever I want you all I have to do is... Dream, dream dream dream
Silly games that you were playing, empty words we both were saying...

2539. Have you ever been to see a ballet? Yes, twice.

2540. What is the difference between Satan and Pan? One is a Jewish concept stolen and enlarged by Middle-Ages Christianity, and the other is a Greek/Roman mythological concept. Pan wasn't evil; Satan is now viewed as the 'personification' of evil. In the Jewish tradition, however, he is actually portrayed as a advocate in God's courtroom. Pan was just impish.

2541. What should a poem be or do if it is a successful poem? Communicate something to the reader without having to spell it out. It should be feeling, not logic.
