1) Do you believe in karma?
Absolutely, a form of it anyways. It's very much a part of my life.

2) Would you ever lie to someone to make them feel good about themselves?
I couldn't do that.

3) What is your view of online relationships?
Frustration would most likely set in when you can't be with that person, yet feel that strongly about them.

4) If you could only know one thing about your future, what would you want to know?
What career I am going to pursue.

5) Assuming the devil exists, is there anything you’d sell your soul to him for?
No.

6) Can you touch your nose with your tongue?
No.

Be prepared for a few slaps or verbal abuses when a girl asks you the cliched, "Does my butt look big in this?"

1) Do you believe in karma?
Treating people respectfully earns respect. If you can call that karma I guess I believe in it after all.

2) Would you ever lie to someone to make them feel good about themselves?
Guilty as charged.

3) What is your view of online relationships?
They're alright I guess. Good bit of fun, and on occasions they can develop into something more meaningful. I do much prefer meeting, talking to and developing relationships with people face to face to be perfectly honest.

4) If you could only know one thing about your future, what would you want to know?
Nothing. I like the sense of mystery!

5) Assuming the devil exists, is there anything you’d sell your soul to him for?
I'd think about Football Manager 2010, then I'd probably just get off my arse and go get it myself.

6) Can you touch your nose with your tongue?
Yup.

1) Do you believe in karma?
Well if you're talking about the westernised high level cause/effect view of karma, then I believe it exists to some extent (and would be hard to deny). If you're talking about the traditional religious view of karma, well that's a different matter altogether and something I don't know a lot about (but I would like to).

2) Would you ever lie to someone to make them feel good about themselves?
Yes, but I really prefer not to lie in general. It depends on the situation... sometimes white lies are fitting and acceptable, sometimes prevarication is prudent, and sometimes the cold hard truth is best.

Regarding the "does my butt look big in this?" question, one way to approach it could be to give her the feeling she wants rather than the exact words... a truthful and convincing "you look wonderful" response evades the question and its awkward "no" response but sets her mind at ease.

3) What is your view of online relationships?
The net is merely another medium for connecting people so I see nothing wrong or unusual with two people meeting online and later meeting each other in real life before or after entering into a relationship. Emphasis on entering because a purely online relationship can only progress so far. On another forum I used to post on, a couple of members got to know each other, met in person and fell in love. They've been happily married for a couple of years now.

4) If you could only know one thing about your future, what would you want to know?
I wouldn't want to know anything, lest it affect the way I act now and I jeopardise what should have been.

5) Assuming the devil exists, is there anything you’d sell your soul to him for?
Nah, but back in high school there was this crazy religious nut in our class who went around trying to get people to sign their souls over to him.

6) Can you touch your nose with your tongue?
Nope.

1) Do you believe in karma?
I'm not sure really. I sorta follow the golden rule as best I can. I don't know if could honestly say, "Oh yes, kharma is 100% real." But at the same time, in my experience, it does seem to occur enough times to be more than coincidence.

2) Would you ever lie to someone to make them feel good about themselves?
I actually try really hard not to do this. Whenever possible, I'm more about being honest with constructive criticism instead of being negative though. Why tell someone a lie when you could (politely) point out what they could do to change and help them out.

3) What is your view of online relationships?
Can't really comment personally. Sounds like fun though.

4) If you could only know one thing about your future, what would you want to know?
This is so tough. I guess: Will Lebron's career be better than Jordan's?


5) Assuming the devil exists, is there anything you’d sell your soul to him for?
All the good answers for this question have already been used.

6) Can you touch your nose with your tongue?
I can. Anyone wanna have an online relationship?

No, but I have a dog named Kharma

2) Would you ever lie to someone to make them feel good about themselves?
All the time and btw you did an awesome job with this weeks 6-pack.

3) What is your view of online relationships?
out of sight, out of mind

4) If you could only know one thing about your future, what would you want to know?
Nothing personal, but I wonder how long the electric guitar will last, if people of the future years from now will they still make music with guitars.

6) Can you touch your nose with your tongue?
I can stick out my tongue and touch my nose.

1) Do you believe in karma?
Yes if only because I believe in the cyclical nature of life. Everything is cyclical...history, relationships, weather, and of course the energy you send out. If you send out bad energy, bad will eventually hit you.

2) Would you ever lie to someone to make them feel good about themselves?
As long as it didn't put them in danger of some kind or potentially bite them (or me) in the ass, then yes. Innocent lies are part of life.

3) What is your view of online relationships?
I'd give it a try, I guess...never really thought about it.

4) If you could only know one thing about your future, what would you want to know?
I don't think I really want to know anything...it would kill the excitement.


5) Assuming the devil exists, is there anything you’d sell your soul to him for?
If the end of the world were really to occur, I would sell my soul to stop it.

6) Can you touch your nose with your tongue?
Nope

But sometimes there's nothing wrong with telling a little white lie to make somebody feel good about themselves!

Personally, I'd prefer the truth though.. I think I'm an anomaly.
