If you could have a conversation with anyone throughout history, who would it be and why would you want to talk to that person, and what would you ask?

Lets say somebody entered a public building that you were in and started shooting people. But there were too many people for the person to shoot them all before they could escape. However by unfortunate bad luck you are the last person inside and you get trapped by the gunman before you can get out of the building. You race down into the basement of the building hoping to hide but he knows where you are and follows you down the steps tripping half way down. The maniac falls and breaks his neck. You are now faced with the possibilty of being a hero who bravely stayed behind and single-handedly took down a gun-wielding madman. Since nobody saw how he died who could dispute your claims of heroism?
Do you crave the comfort of everyone's praise or do you put the cold truth out for all to see?

I'm a man and If I lay out on the beach and see beautiul woman in bikini's that is fine - that is acceptable because I chose to go there. But if I go to the mall or around the neighborhood - I shouldn't have to be forced to view such unmodest provocation - sexy woman, half dressed wearing boustierre, tight form jeans, mini skirts, showing off beautiful sexy bodies. Its forced upon my view and I can't help but look ( I'm a guy ) It all comes down to this. WHY am I being forced to VIEW SOMETHING I CAN'T HAVE? I won't go to a Ferrari dealership and view because I already know it will depress me because I can't have it... Ladies, do us not so good looking guys a break and try to dress a bit more modest - because it does bother some!

A guy whom I met some months ago seems to be quite shy and very self-conscious too. We both knew that we would eventually have sex, but then he started to tell me how ugly, unattractive is, or how short his penis is. Sounds to me that he was making up excuses for not having sex with me. In order to boost his ego, I told him how hot I was on him and how much I wanted him. To this kind of "encouragement", his reaction was thanking me for being very kind to him. I don't understand it!!! Why did he think I was being kind to him? I was NOT!!! Why do you think he had this kind of reaction towards my encouragement? And what do you think of his mentality? Your help will be greatly appreciated and needed. Thanks a lot.

How all people can say just to make peace when the end is nearing, and finally accept. Just in teen, and very unfair to have end so soon.
Hate this very much

we've all got our own views, which may not all be exactly the same, but there's often a naturally produced concensus, a reasonable compromise.

but what if it's got to the point where every time just one member of a particular minority takes something offensively and throws a hissy-fit, everybody else justs stops listening to them, even about completey unrelated issues?

Stupid illustration: Yesterday a perfectly innocent question was posed: "Do you believe in Faeries?" - could that result in a violation "offensive to Gay people" because one person said he was upset. Does he speak for the whole group? have I just been politically incorrect by saying "he" rather than "he or she"?
Some would say yes, others, no. But it's not really important is it?

Are some individuals actually CREATING and MARGINALISING the minority for ALL the people who fit the description just because they're too sensitive?

We're all a member of one minority or another.

environment. Anybody who has ever spent anytime in chatrooms, Yanswers, etc. knows all about the repressed anger, and meanness of people on the internet. I believe this is a revelation of peoples true nature. (when they do things anonymously) The indication is that there are many angry and messed up people in the world. I deal with people every day who are friendly while they go about their everyday lives. I think these are the same people who get on the computer and show their true nature. There are some really angry, messed up people in the world. Your thoughts please
