Random Question #2

[Tidus1872]

Just so you know it's hard to come up with random questions that people will actually answer. My question for this week is:
If you could talk to someone, free of charge, anywhere (dead or alive) who would it be and what would you talk about?

[RagnaToad]

Mine would probably be Adolf Hitler. Stuff like 'What the **** were you thinking, dude?'. Mostly about why he had such a deep hatred towards Jews and other ethnic groups, and if it was just politics talking, or some peronal youth trauma of his.

Of course after that we'd get wasted together. Good times.

EDIT: On the other hand, Jesus would be pretty cool too. I'd love to see his face when I tell him that he's the most influential person in Western society almost 2000 years after he died, and yet almost no one follows his ideals of love, but just uses stories about him to justify their own causes. The irony... (Naturally, the getting wasted thing goes for Jesus too.)

[Midnight Panda]

haha probably... bush... he's not dead yet?! *click* soon he will be. jk jk lol no seriously though probably.... mmmm....... da vinci i would love to learn all his secrets and talents and stuff

[Xanatos]

Many people cross my mind right now but I guess talking with 2Pac would be awesome. My first question would be : Who the **** killed you (didn't see this coming)? After that I really don't care, we would talk probably about Rap music and how pretty much sucks nowadays.

I'm not sure it'd be a good idea to get drunk around Hitler. From what I hear, he's very persuasive. You might end up doing something you'll probably regret. Like butt sex. Or killing millions of Jews.

I'd love to meet Mike Patton. I'd probably end up going all fanboy over him and start crying and shit, but after I calmed down and stopped hyperventilating, we'd probably talk music. And then he could tell me who was a HEROIN ADDICT.

I doubt it. By the way, who said I wasn't persuasive myself?

And the drinking should come from both sides of course.

[ChloChloAriadne]

Bettie Page. Because... OMFG. Haha. All the obvious reasons. She's amaaaazing.

[Neo Necron]

I have three grandparents I've never met because they all died before I was born, so I'd draw for one of those. Probably my paternal grandfather.

Though if they were all still alive, I wouldn't choose to meet a person. I'd totally pick a dinosaur.

[Taco-Calamitous]

But dinosaurs can't talk... or can they? No one's ever seen a living dinosaur... you might be on to something, NN!

Y'know, being the shy individual I am, I don't know how well meeting someone I look up to/who inspires me would go. I'd look at the floor and mutter, "...you're amazing..." and they'd be like "What?" and I'd be like "...mumble mumble mumble..." I would like to meet Jesus, however. Ask him questions about life and Heaven and such. He would probably answer in riddles, because he's good at that. Also, I somehow think that the way people use his legacy to their advantage now would not surprise him. If you read the Bible, it was kind of predicted by either him or one of his disciples. "People will claim to speak in my name," and all that. Anyhoo...

Wuv, Yer Mom

[Josh_R]

John Lennon simply because he was the voice of a generation and talking ot him would open your mind to thoughts you didnt believe was possible...

Also siddharta gautama(for those who dodnt know he is buddha you know the man thee religion was based on...)

[Seerax]

haha probably... bush... he's not dead yet?! *click* soon he will be. jk jk lol no seriously though probably.... mmmm....... da vinci i would love to learn all his secrets and talents and stuff

I agree with Da vinci, that would be fantastic

[Unknown Entity]

To tell you the truth, I don't really know. There are loads of people I would like to meet and talk to who are both dead and alive. The list is actually quite long, so I won't put many names. Da Vinci, Nostradamus, and Jesus (now that you mention it) are the dead people I'd talk to.

Of course, we'd go out for drinks and discuss their ideas and such.

As for the people alive? Probably a few people I've met online. Mainly TFFers if I'm honest - there aren't (actually, no) people from anywhere else that I would like to meet. Top of the list would be Sheena, Joe, Bleachie, Halie, Raider, loner-kid and Chez.

And well... I don't know what we'd do. ^^;;

[Cheesevixen]

I'm introverted so I wouldn't call anyone I didn't know at some point. Maybe I'ld call Danny. Rub my success in his face, call him an asshole, and hang up. :-) It's one of those awesome things I wish I could get away with.....like if I could run up to douche bags on the street and kick them. That would be fun too. >> IDK

[Joe]

If you could talk to someone, free of charge, anywhere (dead or alive) who would it be and what would you talk about?

As far as historical figures? Aristotle, Socrates, Plato, Jesus (to figure out Just how much of what's going on now is total crap), Muhammed (gotta talk to the dude who spawned islam, and figure out where it degenerated into terrorist groups), Da Vinci, Einstein, Edison, a random japanese girl, and maybe Castro, just to find out what goes through the mind of a dictator. Obviously with intellects like those, we would talk about whatever comes to mind, and I'd like to know if I could ever hold my own against Aristotle and Socrates in a discussion.

The random japanese girl is so I can go out to dinner and have some fun with her after exhuasting myself talking to all those philospher, brilliant minds, and leaders.

As far as TFF'ers, I wouldn't mind meeting/having drinks with/hanging out with:

Kilala, Unknown Entity, Govinda, Chez Daja, Bleachie, Lunasa and Rocky.

[Josh_R]

I would also like to speak with MMA Legend Evan Tanner well at least a legend to me...He died way before his time and I think talking to him would be great.....

[Firefly]

Hmm..as most of you have said Da Vinci,Aristotle,Socrates,and Cleopatra.Cleopatra because I am interested in Egyptian history and I would also want to ask her how it felt to rule a kingdom.Then I would want to talk to my great uncle.

[Padraic]

I would choose to talk with whatever the first evolved creature was because that could lead science and humanity further ahead. Yes I know it would probably be a plant... still, or my brother after I kill him

[Govinda]

I wanna call the guy who shot Archduke Franz Ferdinand. I'd say, 'So yeah, well, you probably know that that started the first big war. And then that led to the second, and the Holocaust. And then that led to the Cold War. I mean, the Soviets weren't your fault, so the Balkans can't come back to you. I suppose we could say that nuclear weapons were your fault.' And so on. I'd want to see what he would say, if he could know.

He'd probably say something like, 'If I hadn't taken the shot, the guy next to me would have.' But still. So much history, and that guy pulled the trigger. Boom!

What the fuck is 'the first evolved creature'?

Talking to Gavrilo Princip would be fun for a while indeed, but I'd get bored with him after a while.

[Psiko]

Your mom. Only we wouldn't be talking.

After that I would talk to Santa Claus and ask him how the **** he can fit down all those chimneys in one night. Once I learned his secret, then I could travel the world and visit every mom in the world in one night. A tiring job, but someone has to do it!

If you aren't looking for the sarcastic humor, how about this for a real answer: J.R.R. Tolkien. The man is a legend of sorts in the Fantasy genre, for crying out loud! Ooh, or Nobuo Uematsu. Because he is a musical genius!

And, of course, Aimee-Beth (along with a great many TFFers).

[kennedyfan]

bo jackson or mickey mantle. my all time fav athletes.

[luckystar314]

The creators of Monty Python..I want to thank you lol

[Dodie16]

I would like to talk to Jim Henson, the creator of the Muppets and he also did some initial sketches for characters of Sesame Street (and performed a few as well). I would ask him what he thought of the members of TFF using Sesame Street characters as avatars.

No, but seriously, I bet he's a really cool guy to talk to, and I would love to hear how he came up with the idea of the muppets and if he ever thought that they would be popular even today. I think he has a great legacy, and I hope that it lasts well into the future.

Can't really think of anyone else at the moment that I would like to talk to.

[Rebecca Harrison]

Norman Wisdom, and I would talk about his films

[Rocky]

I'd like to talk to Harry Houdini. He seems to be an interesting fellow and was all about being a pioneer as far as entertainment went back in his time. I'd ask him how he got the ideas and the courage to do the things he did, and what kind of training (mentally and physically) he went through. I'll also ask him how he performed some of his tricks, like breaking out of handcuffs lol. On a side note, I'd also like to know how come him and his wife never decided to have children, this always intrigued me. I think I could have fun drinking and socializing with him, haha.
