McDonalds or KFC?

I have such a hard time deciding...

For my own ethical reasons I'd have to say neither. I have never set foot or tried anything from KFC, however from what I have heard of their policies I am against them.. McDonalds I have boycotted for close to 16 years and have no intention of ending that ban.

Even if I weren't opposed to them, being vegetarian it's kinda pointless for me to journey into one of their establishments anyway.

But my personal rant aside, if you're set on choosing between either Mickey D's or KFC, I'd have to say KFC

Out of curiosity what do you think of Red Rooster and Chicken Treat?

What political or social topic brings out your passion?

[SivVulk]

What political or social topic brings out your passion?

I'm a sociology major.. so mainly social justice issues: social class conflict, environmentalism, ethnic relations, criminology, feminism, animal rights..

Apart from that history (mostly ancient), zoology and vexilology.

Most sociologists are indoctrinated into liberal politics. Do you agree with this?

[SivVulk]

Most sociologists are indoctrinated into liberal politics. Do you agree with this?

While there is a tendency for sociologists to lean left of centre, indoctrination isn't the root cause in my opinion. For almost any sociologist there is a counterpart that took a very contrary position. Over time their differences are expanded on, reapplied to more complex issues.

In order to have contributed to sociology you must take a stand to an extent but you also must be able to detach yourself from those you agree with most and distinguish your work from theirs. You cannot achieve this if you've been brainwashed.

You said you are interested in feminism. What do you think about the complete sexism in the family law system against MEN?

[SivVulk]

You said you are interested in feminism. What do you think about the complete sexism in the family law system against MEN?

From your question I will imply you are only referring to family law in Western developed countries, as opposed to ALL countries since in the majority of other countries women's rights are not as advanced.

Anyhow I believe family law as it relates court ruling pertaining to divorce, alimony have changed considerably over time and not in a steady shift from being pro-man to pro-woman. There are currently inequalities that exist for both sexes. Overall however I still think women have it worse as most judges are still white males past a certain age who still carry with them certain stereotypes. Furthermore single moms are a heck of a lot more heavily stigmatized than single dads...

This topic however warrants its own thread... So I don't wish to continue the discussion here.

Where is your most favorite place to vacation or if not a place what is your favorite activity while on vacation?

[TeZCaTLiPoCa]

1) Have you ever been in a fistfight? Details? Did you win?

2) Do you think drug possession should be decriminalized, both in your country and others around the world?

3) Do you vote? In local elections, even? If so, who have you voted for in what elections and why?

4) Do you believe in a higher power? Are you religious?

5) Have I asked you these questions before? Am I repeating questions already asked ITT? I'm too lazy to scroll through the thread in an attempt to find these answers for myself, apparently.

6) As long as you have everyone's attention, is there anything else you would like the world to know about you?

7) Can I copypasta the Q&A's from this thread into a wiki article and call it "An Interview with SivVulk?"

Where is your most favorite place to vacation or if not a place what is your favorite activity while on vacation?

Of the places I've been to I'd have to go with Croatia, beautiful landscape, beaches, the food was great and the people I met were terrific.

My favourite activity is cross country skiing followed by playing beach soccer or badminton on the beach and hiking.

1) Have you ever been in a fistfight? Details? Did you win?

I've been in two... the details can be found here:

http://www.discussanything.com/forum...highlight=fist

2) Do you think drug possession should be decriminalized, both in your country and others around the world?

No, with regards to marijuana we still do not know the full impact it has on the human mind... Medical marijuana is not all that it is cracked up to be.. Weed is also a major cause for people committing break and enters, it is so that they can sell the stuff they sell and finance their drug addictions. Money should be spent on source control so that these drugs don't find their way into the country and on rehabilitation programs.

Other drugs be it barbiturates, heroin, cocaine and all that shit should not ever be legalized.

3) Do you vote? In local elections, even? If so, who have you voted for in what elections and why?

I believe in having a strong sense of civic duty and that people should vote to have their voices heard. I vote in all types of elections, however I am also for overhauling our outdated voting system to a model of proportional representation. In Canada most major cities already have PR and some have had it for decades and its worked great, why we as citizens aren't collectively demanding it be implemented federally is beyond me.

Sorry I forgot to mention, I've voted for the NDP in all Federal and Provincial elections as they are the party closest to my views on the political spectrum.. however if I could vote for one of the more left wing parties I would. The problem is there are no candidates in my riding .

4) Do you believe in a higher power? Are you religious?

I was raised in a Protestant/Anglican family, however I feel almost all religions have aspects that are worth listening to. I have become more of a secular spiritualist over the years.

5) Have I asked you these questions before?

That's a negative

6) As long as you have everyone's attention, is there anything else you would like the world to know about you?

a) I've gone over a decade without having a fever

b) I'm a pack rat, and as a result tend to keep a whole lot of things. For instance I still have every single one of my report cards from elementary right through to high school. I also have an original VHS tape of an episode of the Polka Dot Door.

c) If I could unsolve two mysteries, it would be how the Egyptians built the pyramids and who Jack the Ripper was (and bust his/their asses)

d) My favourite thing to have for breakfast is bread with honey and tahini or peanut butter.

e) I've been in the same room as Trish Stratus and Pam Anderson and ruled that Trish is hotter

SivVulks Personality Exam:

1) Officer SivVulk was just dispatched to the intersection of Monroe and Main in reference to a domestic dispute between a husband and a wife. Upon arrival, Officer SivVulk noticed another Officer who is already on the scene engaged in a fight with the husband. Officer SivVulk runs to assist the other Officer, but was confronted by the angry wife who took a swipe at him with a baseball bat. What should SivVulk do next?

A. He should dodge each swing, and continue helping the other Officer.

B. He should ignore the wife's advancement because after all she is a woman.

C. He should deploy his baton to the non-kill zone of the wife's body until she drops the weapon.

D. He should disengage the situation and wait for backup.


2) Was OJ Simpson guilty or innocent of murder?

A. Guilty

B. Innocent

C. Who's OJ Simpson?


3) If you pulled over a suspicious vehicle at 3 in the morning and discovered it was just a sober designated driver taking his friends home but you noticed a joint in the drivers front shirt pocket how would you handle it?

A. Take him to jail for possession of marijuana.

B. Order one of his drunk friends to drive the rest of the way home.

C. Confiscate the joint and let him go on his way.


4) Israel has developed software that keeps tabs on online message boards and scans such websites for specific words such as "Zionist" "Genocide" "Holocaust" and maybe even "Free Organs". They have hired thousands of loyal volunteers who receive e-mails an text messages instructing them to debate, troll, spam, and argue with any anti-Semitic/Israeli arguments.

Are you one of these loyal volunteers?

A. Yes

B. No


5) With the evidence you've seen and witness testemony are you convinced that 'Cyclone Ranger' is in fact, 'Cow Punk'?

A. Yes....unfortunately.

B. Nope.


6) Have you ever spooned a wolf?

A. Hehe....Yes.

B. Hell No!

[SivVulk]

1) C. He should deploy his baton to the non-kill zone of the wife's body until she drops the weapon.

As a general rule unless I know backup is imminent, my partner's life is in danger... I remember one person telling me of a scenario they did on a domestic dispute. They treated the husband and wife as a possible threat but did not expect that the kid out of sheer grief and stress would shoot at an officer of the law. Oops.

Regardless of whether or not my partner was justified or had a choice in engaging in a fight with the husband, the fact remains the wife has committed an offence. If her husband were truly innocent she'd plead with me to stop my partner. I would therefore subdue her with as little force possible, cuff her and then assist my partner.

2) Was OJ Simpson guilty or innocent of murder?

A. Guilty

Strictly from a legal perspective he was ruled not guilty. But my personal belief is that he was in fact guilty. Juries and judges don't always get it right.

3) If you pulled over a suspicious vehicle at 3 in the morning and discovered it was just a sober designated driver taking his friends home but you noticed a joint in the drivers front shirt pocket how would you handle it?

Sorry I need more to go on than that.. why is it a suspicious vehicle, what was the result of the vehicle plate check? how are the people in the vehicle behaving. My decision would either be arrest the guy or confiscate the joint and fine him. I would have to check them for their criminal record. And under no circumstance would I allow any of his buddies to drive the rest of the way.

4) Are you one of these loyal (Israel's) volunteers?

B. No

5) With the evidence you've seen and witness testemony are you convinced that 'Cyclone Ranger' is in fact, 'Cow Punk'?

No comment

6) Have you ever spooned a wolf?

Just a 'crew cab' at 3am heading away from the bar end of town. You noticed that the vehicle is obviously packed tight with young people. It doesnt matter why you pulled the car over ya just did and now your standing at the driver side window and everything came back clean on his license. Driver is sober but the passengers are shitfaced(over 21) but you notice a joint in the drivers shirt pocket. (You're aloud to pull over crew cabs in the US....you're a US cop ,btw.)

In that case he'd be fined and given a summons to appear in court... If he wanted to be a designated driver then he should have stayed clean.. Especially if the car is at full capacity or higher. If not they should have all just taken cabs to the bar. Or stayed at home...

One other thing if it were a distance greater than 15km or 10 miles to where they were going arrange for an alternative mode of transportation and have the car towed so they could pick up the next morning.

While Michaels is slightly younger, he has had a lot more health problems.. so I'd have my money on Bon Jovi.. I have a similar question for you (or anyone else)

Of course the Jovi would win. They would stare at each and Brett Michaels would die after he realises that he will never hold a candle to the sexeh beast that is JBJ.

i'm in the mood for more questions... anyone feeling inquisitive?

[SpabSFW]

How did you come into your extraordinary and unusual taste in music?

[TopsyTurvy]

Why can't you get mouse flavoured cat food.

Do you prefer toast with jam or marmalade?

If you had the power to change, create or remove one law, what would you do?

Why do people use tautological phrases when they don't really make sense?
