poll: You are selected to lead an expidition to populate a new colony....?

Question

You have to select a team of 6 including yourself in order to populate a new planet. Who do you choose?

Karen, we think alike.. I was going to say Me and 5 women.. LOL

Answer 1

Two men, one in his late teens and one in his late twenties.
That drive, you know?
Three women who come from families of multiple births and who feel they can take on the two men with 'that drive'.

And there would be me to see to etiquette lessons for everyone, [when they weren't busy, of course].

Answer 2

Condolezza Rice, Hilary Clinton, Barbara Boxer, Diane Feinstein, and a select Chinese woman.


Karen you are ignorant to the principles of reproduction. Your effort to populate a new colony would be painfully slow due to the fact that you can only be pregnant with one child at a time.

I on the other hand could have all 5 women pregnant at once.

Answer 3

Angelo if this question stemmed from my ideology of a group of revalutionaries, then you interpretted me the wrong way. Or perhaps I was not articulate enough. Either way I desire to answer your question whether it be a new thread or a misinterpretted follow up. However, firstly I find it nessasery to labelled me to be ignorant - define it, its only a word - symantics. If I am ignorant I encourage all to tell me but give reasons for the claim, that way I can work on opening my mind and improving my understanding in order to help myself and others. Now Angelo my answer for your question as it is worded and without analising context is as follows. Firstly I do not believe in segregating from mainstream society (I am not M. Night Shalaman's fearful elders of an isolated villiage) I believe in unity, equality and understanding of all. Thus I swear to respect all beliefs, lifestyles and life paths regardlessly. However, logically if I am to do that for all I should then give myself the same right and believe in my ideologies despite the condemnation I may sometimes receive, thus my plead for the like minded to stand up for what they believe in and act for an unselfish cause. A new planet (symbolically or literally?) either way 6 is not enough. But if this is the question it shall be answered. Personally I would (perhaps selfishly) choose those I have been close to in my life and whom I am now distanced from but miss their company extraudinarily. I would choose Daniel Oscar Dunn, Timothy McCloskey, Douglas John Shipley Jnr, Alex Rearden, Gareth Mordue, Dave, Juan Madrid, Cameron Rearden, Devendra Banhart, King Neptune from the forest at Byron, Emma from scu, Annette Rearden, Brian Rearden, Robert Nardi, Miss Deserae, A compounding chemist, all of my animals, Weezer, Radiohead, The Violent Femmes, Hill Song, Matilda Clark, Isabel Rios, all of my beautiful animals and John Ballentine - the list could go on and on I am unable to choose six subjectively, so objectively an owner of many books, an artist, astromoner, a doctor, and a philosopher. Or another part of me says a group of unrelated, pure blooded?? if any still exist. A ratio of male and females that would best reproduce (whatever that may be) in order to restore and redevelop the cultural and genealogical attributes that were once natural in order to re-establish some balance in Australia

Answer 4

2 males and 4 females. Myself, a female biologist, a female architect, a male mechanical engineer, a female politician and last a female yoga instructor. The women would have to be at least 6.5's in the beauty category and under 28 ;)

Answer 5

One family member of the opposite sex. This way our genes are apparent, but different ones are passed on.
Three members of the opposite sex not related of my choosing.
One member of the same sex not related for the first member.
Myself

I would make my selection based on which genes I would like to have in this new world and whoever will listen to me ^_^

Answer 6

I choose me to be the leader, my brother to be the villiage idiot, my friend stephanie to be the drugee, and I'd choose 3 random people, hmmm, You're the Dream Unicorn, Pink Diamonds, and Porcelain Doll.

Answer 7

6 people do not provide a large enough gene pool for a sustainable colony.

Answer 8

My daughters, two of their girlfriends and two of their boyfriends. They are the best people I know to carry on the human race. I'll cook and clean up after them, and tell them how to raise those babies. Grandma to the human race, yippee!

Answer 9

5 guys

Answer 10

five females. all between the ages of 17 & 21. one not pregnant. 4 all ready pregnant.
