[Ciao]

Would you ever run for political office?

 

[saaaaaadpanda]

I have a few more things to change about myself than that, but I can dig it. ^_^ Then again, I'm also happy with who I am, and to hell with those that have a problem with my minor problems. ;>

That's just how I roll... *press "A" to throw gang sign: ....fail*

Yeah, I'm comfortable with what I am physically, and "improving" my character would change who I am. Therefore, the only thing that's left would be my smarts.

Would you ever run for political office?

Once I'm done with my education and settled in a job, I would certainly consider running for some sort of smaller position like being a member of the city council.

No, I despise pandas...

I know you said that you vote based off of your impression a candidate and not a party. If you were a member of a city council, which party would you represent?

Neither. I would run as an independent.

So i have $5,000 on me. What should i buy?

A savings account.

It becomes a question of whether you should buy one $5000 hooker or one thousand $5 hookers...

Really though, if you have that much spending money their are several things I would consider buying if I were you, depending on what you already have.

Practical/Frugal Purchases:

• A car. $5k could buy an older but okay condition used car outright, or it could be a downpayment on a new(er) car.
  Cost: ~$5000 (I wouldn't buy a used car worth much less than $5k)
• A new computer. You could really deck it out for that much.
  Cost:$500+
• Investments. Stocks, CDs, mutual accounts, etc. could all be good. The only thing I would stay away from right now are US bonds. They aren't making much at the moment.
  Cost: variable

Less Practical Purchases:

• A gaming console. The PS3 is coming out this November, and the Xbox 720 will likely come out around the same time.
  Cost: $430-$530 for the PS3. Unknown for the Xbox 720.
• An e-reader. Kindle's probably the best option. I prefer the more simple Paperwhite, but the Fire's nice too.
  Cost: $120 for the Paperwhite, $400 for the new Fire.
• An English bulldog puppy. So pricey, but so cute!
  Cost: ~$2000

Really Impractical Purchases

• Really good

  Cost: $5000
• A gold chain. You can't be a gangsta without one.
  Cost: $5000+
• Drugs… lots of 'em.
  Cost: variable

Hope this helps.

A savings account.

Yes, that would be practical. However, I like to give a variety of options.

What's the most you've ever won off of a scratch off lottery ticket?

$0. I've never participated in a lottery and don't intend to.

What do you think about somatic cell nuclear transplantation ?

What do you think about somatic cell nuclear transplantation ?

Well, it can be a very handy tool in various kinds of research, so I like it. There are concerns about its potential use for human cloning, but that doesn't mean that it's a bad technology. In fact, I'm for human cloning in some circumstances, such as when an infertile couple wants to have a child that is genetically theirs.

Give me some facts about UK housing crisis. Like the number of shortfall, and how many houses builders are told to build ever year, and how many they're actually building at the moment. And also, what're the factors that're affecting the shortfall of houses and how it could be improved.

Well, starting around 2010 approximately 100k new homes a year have been built, which is the smallest number since 1923. There are almost two million families who are searching for housing that cannot find it. The causative factors are stagnant wages, low construction rates, dramatic increase in property values, and a moratorium on mortgages. In other words, the economy's bad. The proposed plan is to build more houses which would increase the number of available homes and lower the cost, making the availability increase. It is projected that the rate of homes built per year needs to increase to 300k. On a positive note, if the building is subsidized by the government, it may not be a drag on the people because of the increased revenue from new jobs.
