Vs. : A Realization of Life and its Quirks, Part VI

1). Conservative vs. Liberal: Liberal. I am both on many different subjects, but I don’t choose Democrat or Republican. I have more democratic views and believe in a liberal standpoint.
2). Design vs. Copy: Copy. If we are talking about painting or drawing, I like to copy and give credit to the original artist. I like to have something to mirror and practice with.

3). Long-Distance vs. Fling: Long-Distance. I’d rather miss the person I love than have a one night stand or a week-long stand with a stranger. Fighting for your love makes you stronger, and absence makes the heart grow fonder.

4). Surf vs. Turf: Turf. I’m not that big of a risk-taker, so I’d rather stay on the sand and watch the surfers do their thing.

5). Zeus vs. Ganesh: Ganesh. I enjoy looking at elephants and their intricate design, at least in the Greek tradition and Hinduism. Zeus is a bit boring.

6). Tattoo vs. Piercing: Tattoo. I don’t understand why people get either, but especially intricate of either. I’d rather get a small tattoo on my shoulder or a piercing on each ear.

7). Knit vs. Sew: Knit. Sewing is pretty complicated and with a simple 4-1-1 you can knit like a pro in no time with some good practice.

8). Jem vs. She-ra: Neither. I have a strong dislike for cartoons.

9). Em Dash vs. Semicolon: Em Dash. I use them a lot—can’t you tell?

10). Viking vs. Samurai: Samurai. I don’t get the famous hype about Vikings, to me they’re a little stupid. Samurai will whoop your butt.

11). Black Sheep vs. The Favorite: Black Sheep. I do like having attention on me, but I’m not the type to want to be what everyone else wants me to be. It seems as though I would fit “the favorite” stereotype quite well, but I am definitely the black sheep in my generation and family.

12). Time vs. Money: Money. I don’t want to live forever, and I do enjoy material items, such as electronics. I would rather live a shorter life, enjoying it to the fullest and being able to do all the traveling to see the world.

13). Jacques Cousteau vs. Octopus: Jacques Cousteau. I hope I didn’t just admit to something terrible. Don’t get me wrong, I love the octopuses.

14). Traffic vs. Sanity: Sanity. I would rather stay home that day than drive in massive, hour-long freeway traffic.

15). One-Night Stand vs. Another Lonely Night: Another Lonely Night. You know me and one-night stands! I would never participate in something like such, and in reality: after the person leaves, it is just another lonely night. I would rather wait for the days I would not have any more lonely nights.

16). Drunk vs. Sober: Sober. Are you kidding me? The sober life is what I live for! Sobriety fills me up inside with glee and overwhelming joy. Especially when I find others like me, clear-headed and free to think.

17). Emoticons vs. Words: Words. Emoticons get so dull and troublesome. I’d rather express myself through words. You know, the intelligent, thoughtful way of expression?

18). Midcentury Modern vs. Shabby Chic: Mid-Century Modern. I’m not into many “chic” things, and I adore modern architecture and decor. Modernistic things bring happiness to my life.

19). Long Board vs. Short Board: I don’t like skating, nor surfing. However, I’ll say long board, just because either seems less dangerous with… well, a longer board.

20). Harlequin vs. Hard-Core: Harlequin. Harlequin is so hard-core, man. What are you talkin’ about?

21). Hunger vs. Thirst: Hunger. I find myself very rarely thirsty, and if I am, it’s only for a drink of water. I’m always hungry because there’s always amazing food in the world.

22). Walk vs. Run: Walk. I enjoy running to get exercise, but there’s no real place to do it around here. If you know me real good, you’d know I HATE to walk, but I’d rather walk to catch transportation than have to run everywhere.

23). Therapy vs. Meds: Therapy. Call me a Northwest hippie, but emotional consoling and cognitive therapy is the first step before you load yourself up with drugs.

24). Zoo vs. Aquarium: Aquarium. Zoos are abnormally boring to me, unless they have exotic animal species. Aquariums are spacious and good for photography.

25). Fire vs. Ice: Ice. I love figure skating! Fire has brought misfortune to many people I know, but ice is avoidable. Fire can occur easily.

26). Instant Replay vs. Referee: Referee. Does no one recognize a pattern in my answers to these categorical questions?

27). City vs. Country: Country. It’s a hard decision, but I would rather live on the countryside and have a good life away from violence and the icky parts of the city, especially if I could score a decent WiFi connection. If I couldn’t, maybe I’d live in the city with a getaway house on the countryside…

28). Boobs vs. Butt: Butt. The whole common debate over whether small or big boobs are better puts a toll on young women. To me, nothing bigger than a handful, but with a booty, it’s a different story…

29). Sherlock Holmes vs. James Bond: James Bond. The physique says it all.

30). Jewish Guilt vs. Catholic Contrition: Jewish Guilt. Jews are awesome, c’mon. The stories are a bit ridiculous, but Catholics are extreme idealists and really irritate me when they skip out on a common tradition or moral like it’s no big deal. That’s contrition!

Remember this: none of my answers are intended to offend. Vs. encourages quick judgment and stereotyping to answer questions without spending a dragged out amount of time contemplating whether an orange is better than an apple!
