 Who, of these authors, wrote the very best book relating to Atheism?
Richard Dawkins - The God Delusion
Sam Harris - The End Of Faith
Christopher Hitchens - God Is Not Great
I think all of these writers will deeply regret what they wrote one day. Sinners!

Over the past 5 years, would you say that your buying patterns for magazines and newspapers...?
I don't buy newspapers or magazines at all. Or, I very rarely do. And it was the same 5 years ago.
My buying of magazines and papers has declined. So I've bought fewer and fewer magazines and/or newspapers over the years.
Have increased: I buy more magazines or newspapers these days than I did about 5 years ago.
Have remained about the same over the years: These days, I buy roughly as many magazines or newspapers as I used to buy.

Michael Jackson recently sold out a series of concerts in London. But, if he offered to mind your kids while you went out?
I'd be delighted to have a superstar look after my children. They might even learn a few cool dance moves!
No way. Not even if *he* paid me! And don't even ask me why not!
I guess I wouldn't mind his minding them if I just nipped out to the shops for a few minutes... Couldn't afford his fee tho!
Only if he threw in a few VIP seats to his concerts would I agree to have him as a babysitter!

It's amazing just how many stupid people there are, UNTIL U try & make good money from them & then suddenly they're all gone!
Agree. when it comes to money, it's amazing that even stupid people don't let it go so easily.
Disagree. Stupid people will part with their money easily. You only have to be clever to find that way.
Next to health, money is very important. So why is it amazing that even stupid people clearly hold onto it so dearly too!?
People who do an honest day's work shouldn't be thinking how to profit from others' stupidity. No one chose to be stupid!

 Trust: If you thought your partner was cheating would you consider hiring a private eye to tail him or her?
If I suspected that, then I would - but only if it wasn't expensive to do so.
Sure! It would definitely be worth finding out if my partner is with someone else behind my back. And if it costs - so be it!
No way. I trust my partner and even if I suspected something, I'd never hire a PI even if it was cheap to do so.
If I suspected my partner was cheating on me, I'd do my own investigating. I wouldn't trust any 3rd party to do that for me.

 Trust: In the past 20 years, would you say that people have become more trustworthy, or not?
Yes, in general I believe people have become more trustworthy over the past 20 years.
No way! Besides it seems like scammers are coming out of the woodwork these days. You have to watch your back more than ever!
People's trustworthiness has remained about the same in the last twenty years.
I don't know. I really couldn't say whether they have or not in the past two decades.

 When you meet someone who is a vegetarian do you assume that that person is...?
...probably a cleverer person than an average person.
...not likely to be a cleverer person than average.
... more likely to be a stupid person - because meat tastes great, and they probably don't even know what they're missing!
... hmmm, whether they are vegetariuan or not, is likely to have no bearing whatsoever on their intelligence, in my opinion.
