	Getting to Know Each Other Suffering from ads?

I thank Kaak's foolish approach in trying to get to know other people here on Apolyton for this idea.

I have a better idea, that has been used by others here on Apolyton. Asking simple questions of interest, beliefs, careers/jobs/academia, and family life to get to know each other better.

I know this is not the first, but this will refresh other people's memory and help newer members on here now, to -- well -- get to know each other.

1) First Name??

2) Age??

3) Gender and Sexual Orientation??

4) Race/Ethnicity??

6) Career/Job/Academia??

7) Family Life?? (married/single/divorced/children/no children)

8) Residence Location?? (nation, state/province/district, city)

9) Favorite music??

10) Favorite Hobby/Pastime??

11) Philosophical Outlook??

I would like to not have any answers to any of these questions to spark any debates or arguments. Just answer your questions and if there is a need for a debate or argument from any answers, please start a separate thread. I do not want to have this be a debate thread.

NOTE: Best method might be to copy and paste the questions listed above, and then answer them in your reply.

11. Debating what it is that makes people do wierd things that serve no purpose. Example: You press the down button on an elevator, and wait for it to pick you up. Then someone else comes over to the elevator, and press the button too. Why? Its clearly lit up! Is it because the person wants to signify to you that they want to go downstairs too, and aren't just standing there for no reason? Didn't it occur to them that you probably know this? Isn't that patronizing of them? Are they trying to make you look bad? How should you counter this threat to your existance? I love giving that speech. Its very good for making people look at me strangely.
