Four Questions for Republicans

Diamond Member
I heard this on Maher tonight and I thought it'd be a good idea to post it here. I doubt that any of these "conservatives" would answer these questions honestly, but it's interesting nonetheless.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

1.) ?Would you have sex with a man to stop a terrorist attack??

2.) ?If lowering taxes results in increased revenues then would lowering taxes to zero result in infinite revenues??

3.) ?If you had a time machine, would you travel back in time and abort Bin Laden??

4.) ?Would you torture and kill Jesus to ensure mankind?s salvation? And how does that work??


----------------------------------------------------------
This thread is not intended to accomplish anything and the OP refuses to answer the questions himself.

1.) ?Would you have sex with a man to stop a terrorist attack?? How would that stop a terrorist attack?

2.) ?If lowering taxes results in increased revenues then would lowering taxes to zero result in infinite revenues?? If raising taxes results in increased revenues, then would raising taxes to 100 percent result in infinite revenues?

3.) ?If you had a time machine, would you travel back in time and abort Bin Laden?? Yes

4.) ?Would you torture and kill Jesus to ensure mankind?s salvation? And how does that work?? This one doesn't even deserve an answer.

These are not honest questions, so why should they be answered honestly? They are actually really dumb questions, and I'm not surprised that they came from Bill Maher.

Edit - Why didn't you give your answers to these "questions" Narmer?

Did you read the title? It's for god-fearing Republicans. BTW, why do you want me to qualify the first question? If the terrorist was gay and you had to sleep with him. I don't know. Let your imagination run wild.

So basically this is a troll post, thanks for clarifying.

If I start a thread for Democrats asking "would you have sex with your mother to stop a terrorist attack" would you answer that?

The underlying tenet of the question is whether or not your morals are absolute or relative. As for having sex with my mom to stop a terrorist attack, the answer is no.

1.) ?Would you have sex with a man to stop a terrorist attack??
I don't see how this is a party thing... I doubt many straight men would do this.

2.) ?If lowering taxes results in increased revenues then would lowering taxes to zero result in infinite revenues??
Silly question... There is an ideal tax level. The problem is the Ds don't care where it is, they just want people to pay more taxes.

3.) ?If you had a time machine, would you travel back in time and abort Bin Laden??
You bet. Hitler too.

4.) ?Would you torture and kill Jesus to ensure mankind?s salvation? And how does that work??
Repeat history? Seems to me this already happened. Jesus was tortured and killed for all mankind's salvation. So maybe I already did... :evil:

This was probably only funny, if you heard it first hand. Repeated transcripts of comedians is usually quite boring. I forgot which life lesson number it is.

Wow Bill Maher really is a tool. And he used to claim he was a libertarian...

Relax, Andrew Sullivan was on his show last night. That's why he mentioned it. Not sure why you think he's a tool. IMHO, he's equally critical of both parties. By the way, the burkha skit last night was classic.

Cool, guess I don't have to answer then.
 
Nothing wrong with those questions... people are just afraid to answer.. so they twist as much as they can.. just answer them honestly.. no one is enforcing the answers.

No you didn't. At least not the first question.

Actually, no, he isn't.

Not that it makes any difference. Anyone who would pose questions as suggested in OP is an idiot, no matter what party they subscribe to.

EDIT: I noted your change of Republican to Conservative. Conservative might be an accurate descriptor, Republican certainly he is not.
