stumped for answers

there are just too many questions in life.  and i'm beginning to think answers just aren't meant to be.


  • is it more important to be honest or nice?
  • do u allow a child to fail, no matter how large the failure?  or do u take away their choice?
  • do u pretend to be happy when you're not? or do u share your experiences for the benefit of others?
  • are girls required to keep toes painted even if they will be in tennis shoes?
  • do u stop being friends with someone if their standards are different than yours?
  • what would life be like if we used 50% of our brains?
  • if i don't like meat, am i still obligated to cook it for my family?
  • if u don't like someone, do u think you'll still wish they were alive after they die?
  • if u speed past someone, and they try to talk to u at the stoplight, do u roll your window down?
  • are u obligated to tell a child you like their art, even if it looks like a disaster?
  • why are presents a necessity?
  • if you're invited to dinner, and you're grossed out by what's being served, do u eat it anyway?
  • do u decorate if you're living in a rental?
  • do u tell your kids that santa and the tooth fairy aren't real if they ask?
  • should children be limited in the amount of food they get?
  • should grandmas be allowed on facebook and twitter?
  • if someone calls and u don't want to talk to them, do u feel obligated to answer?
  • if someone plays an april fool's joke on u, do u return the favor?
  • do u get offended if someone tells u your outfit doesn't match?
  • is it better to take schools loans and be done fast? or work your way through and go slower?
  • mcdonalds, burger king, wendys, or chik-fil-a?

Do you really think there should be a patent answer to most of those questions?

Do we really need to exchange high calorie goodies with our neighbors at Christmas time?

Honest
Depends
Fake it 'til you make it - but share when you don't
Toe polish is dumb
No
I do; it's not too much different
Yup; sorry
Sometimes - can't make fun of idjuts when they're dead
Normally
Yes - Picasso's a disaster too . . .
Why did you ask me for my birthday otherwise?
If I can stomach it, yes (I even tried a tomato aspic today)
I've never decorated anywhere
Santa, Easter Bunny, and the Tooth Fairy are as real as the parents make them to be
Yes
Mine are all dead; yes, I liked them and miss them
Nope (although it's likely I should)
Of course, but remember: Revenge is a dish best served cold
Outfits can match? What magic is this?!?
As someone who paid his own way through school -- no grants, no loans -- the faster the better, within reason: I'd've graduated in 2007 and have a real job by now (almost guaranteed--there was still a job market then)
Chik-fil-a, all the way (but I eat and Wendy's 'cuz it's cheap)
