A general survey of generalness!
« on: December 05, 2006, 10:55:22 pm »
A few questions have been boggling my mind over the past few days and I thought you'd be interested in answering some in your opinion. I'll probably add some more eventually, so keep checking for edits (if you're bored).



1. This is mostly for males, although females (aka Kaleeko) are welcomed to answer either about themselves or what they think males should do. When swimming, do you wear underwear under your trunks? What if you were walking around, completely dry, out of the water, but still required to wear trunks (aka, lifeguarding)?

Personally, I wear underwear under my suit in both cases. When I'm swimming, I don't have much of a reason, except that I usually end up swimming after lifeguarding at the current time. As far as lifeguarding goes, I do wear underwear under my suit, because the netting tends to give me a wedgie, and it really sucks. Also, in both cases, it allows an extra layer of hold-down-ness when your happy friend springs up upon seeing a girl in a two piece suit (admit it, it happens to you all), which can be especially bad when you're a lifeguard, because if a girl complains to your supervisor, "HE GOT A GIANT ERECTION WHEN I WAS IN HIS WATER.. EWWWW!!", you're screwed big time. Uh, that part isn't really for the girls. :P



2. There are three guys. One guy shoots another guy. A bystander, probably an authority figure in the esablishment (bouncer, barkeep, etc) sneaks up behind the shooter and.. incapaciates him somehow. He is, miraculously, trained in CPR, and upon noticing that the victim has no pulse (cardiac arrest, clinically dead), performs it on the victim, resusicating him, and he eventually recovers. The shooter wakes up eventually, but he's in the custody of the cops. Should he be charged with attempted murder, or murder?

My opinion is rather unformed here, so I'll go with what a teacher of mine said: "They go by the intent and the outcome, not the facts. It was attempted murder."



I had more, but I've forgotten them. More later!
I'd personally do as Joe suggests

You might be right about that, Joe.

I just think it's weird to wear underwear under a swim suit.  The swim suit already has underwear built in.

Attempted murder because the guy who got shot didn't die in the end; he recovers completely.

1. If the swimsuit becomes semi transparent when wet, wear underwear.
2. Attempted murder.  He isn't dead anymore :P

The word is regardless, not reguardless. I'm not usually anal about this kind of stuff, but I've seen this way too much from you, and it's driving me crazy!   :-\

I don't usually wear underwear under my swimsuit but in your case I probably would since it's for such a long period of time.

Attempted murder.

Only, if in (2) the guy was shot below the knee, it would be assault with a deadly weapon.

I doubt a shot below the waist would cause cardiac arrest. :-\

Ah, thanks.

I don't recall on this specific word. Curiosity, yes. :)

Poor SOBs that have to learn english as a second language :(

Once they've learned English to a certain extent (carrying on conversations with simpler words) they've got it off alright. Just last night a girl from Panama was explaining to me how stupid of a song La Bamba is.

Not until the person bleeds out, at which point CPR wouldn't help anyways.

One must ask oneself: "do I will trolling to become a universal law?" And then when one realizes "yes, I do will it to be such," one feels completely justified.

Being shot below the waist can cause a person to go into shock, which can lead to cardiac arrest.  An artery doesn't even need to be punctured.

What, underwear under swimming trunks?  Who wears underwear under swimming trunks?  LOL.  Come to think of it, who wears either of them at all when swimming?

haha...

In which case it'd still be assault with deadly weapon?

Yep.  If he had a good lawyer it could even be as low as armed battery, and if he had Johnny Cockrin it would probably be self defense.
