WWOID? That makes a cool word...

What would Opal Isle do?

Here's how this works: present me with a situation and end the presentation with "What would Opal Isle do?" I'll offer my advice.

You are given a magic power by a genie.

You can kill one person by making a pea sized meteor fall from the sky and hit them.

Who is it you choose?

I'm not really interested in killing anyone. I will save my power until their is real proof of a eminent terror strike and kill one of the major planners in hopes that it would thwart their attempts.

You could crash your car through his wall, tie him up, drag him a mile by hand to a canal, stab him in the gut with a fork and drown him.

No genie needed.

No jury in the world would convict you.

That wasnt a complete sentance.

I'd tell you to learn english, but no matter what language you put that in it's still not a complete sentence.


This is, in my book, evidence that your problem lies in your mind and not your proficiency in grammar or spelling.
Your statement was not a complete thought.

Up to par? Is that a city? What state is that in?

Sarcasm aside, how am I "up to par" as opposed to a "birdie" or "eagle"?

"up to par" means "up to acceptable standards"

at least in the sense I used it.

Or that I don't pay much attention to the national ranking of educational systems as far as states go...

I do know that I'm just as, if not more qualified than most of the posters on this forum, and I was educated in Arkansas. Arkansas...the state that flip-flops between 49th and 50th best education system.

It never means anything different. Par means average. In golf, it's actually a bad score when compared to birdie (one under par) and eagle (two under). Why I am only average? I hardly make typos, and I don't think I've ever made a major grammatical error that inhibits the readability of my post.

Do you mean a mass murderer? and I'm supposed to find him?

1) Why I am looking for a mass murderer?
2) There is no Scare Street anywhere even relatively close to where I live.
3) Supposing there is a Scare Street somewhere near where I live, what intersection am I at?
4) What direction am I heading? (If I don't know, then I don't know if I'm turning east or if I'm turning west...or if the road is an east/west road, I don't know if I'm turning north or if I'm turning south.)

I try to answer all questions. I need more information to answer this question. The problem sometimes with politicians is that they answer half questions which puts them in a situations in which their words can be twisted and used against them wrongly.

O.K., you're the team leader of a coastal rescue service, and you're called out to a developing situation. A surprisingly diverse group of people were out caving on the coast when the tide trapped them, and they will all drown if not rescued.
The group consists of:
a pregnant woman (boyfriend left her when he found out, she is considering having an abortion),
an elderly scientist who is researching a cure for bowel cancer, and close to success (but is also virulently anti-Semitic),
a teenage boy (uses cannabis, wants to become a doctor),
a fundamentalist Muslim man (owns his own small retail business, has 5 kids),
and Martha Stewart.
The tide is coming in; you may not have time to rescue them all. Some may die from hypothermia if left too long, even if they are roped up.

Seeing how as the puppie is the only one that can possibly move on its own, I think I would grab the puppie, and return to the fireworks and candy, which hopefully did not sprout legs. I would therefore have all three.

Wow. I am shocked at your ignorance. Clearly, you only paid enough attention in school to learn the grammer, and then immediately dozed off before being taught tolerance.

I am from South Carolina, have an A in AP English, and attend a public school that is rated well over the national average. My last SAT score (I haven't received my most recent results yet) is from the 9th grade, and that was a 1310. I had a 750 in Verbal. My mother is an English teacher. You, however, only know that which you must have prejudicially determined without any real world experience. Academics and games on the Internet do not prepare you for real life, and an outstancing sense of superiority such as you obviously sport will lead to a magnificent ass whipping the next time you speak the same way in person to a southerner as you do over the internet. But then again, perhaps that is why you are so outspoken in here. Perhaps it is the only place you can safely make such statements without having your face dunked in a toilet and pounded like a slab of meat?

Wow. I'm going to stop bumping this thread. All this situations are grotesque and have no humor. In fact, this question isn't even a "WWOID" question so I don't feel like I'm obligated to answer it. A "WWOID" question would follow this format:
You are in the following situation. How do you respond.

And until the situations stop being so outlandish and grotesque, I won't be responding.
