    Zombie Apocalypse!

    Assuming I am waking up in my own bedroom, I have a wealth of makeshift weapons available. I'm sure my guitars would make great weapons, and I believe I do have a bat or something similar under the bed. I would probably stay at my house for as long as possible. I live in a small town to the...

    Do you think People should be entitled to Carry Concealed Weapons

    I'm from a country that has a fairly regulated firearms licensing system. Concealed Carry is illegal here and I prefer it that way. Here the only people who have guns are cops, licensed hunters or hobbyist target shooters, or certain criminals. The reason why I am not personally afraid of...

    How can I escape the punishment after I had been pulled over?

    If you deserve the punishment you will be ticketed, unless the officer is having a good day and decides to let you go. If make dumb mistakes, then you should be liable for those mistakes. Just focus on driving correctly and own up to any errors that caused you to get pulled over.

    Will firing squads make a comeback?

    I don't agree with firing squad, because it leaves the individuals who to the firing in a much more uncertain scenario. From what I understand, out of the 5 or so individuals lined up to fire, only 1 gun actually has a bullet instead of a blank round. This means that no one is certain about who...

    Why use deadly force?

    From what I understand, isn't just as easy as shooting someone in the arm. That takes a large amount of skill and there are a lot of variables that go into that situation, especially if the individual was moving. Hitting a moving target with a bullet is much more difficult than it appears in the...

    What are you addicted to?

    My major two would have to be caffeine and nicotine. Consume both of those on a regular basis every day. I'm not proud of it and am looking to quit smoking. But for now, it is definitely my vice.

    Thanking your police

    I always thank an officer for helping me out, it is common courtesy. However, I won' thank them just by virtue of being an officer. If an individual personally helps me out, I will certainly thank them for their service. Other than that, it seems like a hollow compliment to me, they are just...

    If you could meet anybody in history, past or present, who would it be?

    I think I would have to say musician Frank Zappa. He died when I was very little, and he has been an immense influence on not only my music, but my outlook on life as well. From what I know about his life, he was a bit of a jerk, but I could not pass up the possibility of meeting him, or just...

    The end of IE

    As other people have said, they are getting rid of it, just re-branding. IE received a lot of negative reviews and had a terrible reputation by word-of-mouth. I think its a smart move on windows part, and hopefully this solves many of the compatibility issues present with IE. My friends who code...

    Are You In Favor Of Pre-Marital Sex?

    I honestly advocate pre-marital sex. I am not necessarily advising everyone to go out and have sex with anyone, I still believe it is something you should save for someone who you love and respect. Having said that, I believe that a sexual relationship with your partner, and a fulfilling one at...

    If I ever get in minor trouble... what's the best way to get away with it?

    I've only been pulled over once, for speeding, and was let off with a warning. I've found that being cooperative, friendly, and immediately owning up to the offence you have committed helps you. Right away when I was pulled over, I apologized for speeding, didn't attempt to make any excuses, and...

    Would you rather be blind or deaf?

    I'm going to go against the grain here and say I would personally prefer to be blind. I am a music fanatic and attend concerts regularly, so I would not be able to live without my sense of hearing. I am sure I would be able to function being blind, it will take some getting used to, but at least...

    At what age would you consider someone to be old?

    I think it all depends on the individual. I think that old is a state of mind, the point where you feel you "prime" is over. For example, my great-grandmother just turned 90 years old. We had a huge party with her for my whole family and she was on the dance floor dancing away all night. I could...

    Speed Cameras

    I'm not a cop, but I think that's the intention. If people were blatantly aware of these traps, then they would correct their driving habits only close to that area. I don't these camera being hidden causes a safety concern. If anything, it will cause erratic drivers to get tickets for...

    Summer is almost here

    I'm actually from Canada, but less than an hour from the border. I usually go into the USA 2 or 3 times over the summer for various road trips. Usually stick to the East Coast, as that's what's closest to me. Would love to visit the West Coast one day!

    Would you turn a loved one in?

    Yes, I would. I know it would be a difficult decision to make, but I morally would have to do it. If it was murder specifically that they admitted to, I know I would feel unimaginably guilty if they were to ever kill again, knowing I had the ability to stop it. I know that family has to stick...

    Hit and run on a cyclist

    I am sure that the thought that their mom will just run away from problems will hurt them much more than the sight of blood. Those kids would probably been scared, yes, but they could have also seen their mom as a hero who helped out this young man. She should definitely be punished for this if...

    Do you enjoy watching anime?

    I wouldn't say that I love it simply for being anime, but there are certain Sci-Fi based anime shows that I have enjoyed. I wont go out of my way to look for something specifically that is anime, but I wont turn away from something if I think I would enjoy it.

    What is your least favorite part of your day?

    I think my lease favorite part for weekdays would definitely have to be the early mornings before I have managed to have my coffee. On weekends it would have to be that point where you realize how late it actually is and that you have to force yourself to go to bed
