Sterilization of bad people.

Christmas, it's a time when I get to spend time with my parents, get tiddly off wine and Christmas spirit, go shopping and just forget my worries. We often will have a bbq or picnic on the beach. We decorate the pinus radiata and it's tradition for me to bake a Christmas cake.

A humanitarian.

4) Would you prefer to live in the city or the countryside?

City.

5) Why are things easier said than done?

Because things experienced by one person will be different to the experience of another. It's all relative.

6) What's your favorite type of cookie? (I might make you some).

Oat and raisin.

1) If you could do one thing to make the world a better place, what would it be?
I would like proper education for kids in the world, a good one that includes science and critical thinking. It would equip people with some mental tools and knowledge they could use to help themselves later in life.

2) What is your favorite holiday tradition? Are there any specific to the part of the world you live in?
My favourite traditions are the many seasonal dishes surrounding christmas in Norway. Many of them include strange ways of preserving fish.

3) What do you want to be when you "grow up"?
A smallholder!

4) Would you prefer to live in the city or the countryside?
The countryside, although preferably not too far from a town or city. I need someplace I can sell my produce after all.

5) Why are things easier said than done?
Because work can be so dull compared to all the fun stuff I can do during a day.

6) What's your favorite type of cookie? (I might make you some).
Crunchy frog! Poor reference, but creds to whoever gets it

1) If you could do one thing to make the world a better place, what would it be?
I try to do lots of things, albeit little things.
If I could do something major... I dunno. It's not an easy question. Everything has ramifications and logistics that require a lot of thought.

2) What is your favorite holiday tradition? Are there any specific to the part of the world you live in?
Mmm. My holidays are usually very mellow. Christmas usually is just me, my mother and my grandmother sitting around drinking tea. I do rather enjoy that, though.

3) What do you want to be when you "grow up"?
I don't wanna grow up. I'm a Toys-R-Us kid.
Anyway, I'm not sure yet, but if I stay on the path I'm on, I'll probably end up an arts critic or an English/film professor, either of which would find me pretty content.

4) Would you prefer to live in the city or the countryside?
Having lived in both, I find I prefer the city.

5) Why are things easier said than done?
Not everything is--sometimes it's much harder to talk about something you're already doing.
But when they are harder, it's because words can fit through all sorts of tiny little cracks that actions have to break open or go around.

6) What's your favorite type of cookie? (I might make you some).
The girl scout cookies in the purple box... samoas, I think? (I was a girl scout for all of 37 minutes, I don't remember). Other than that, a nice, big, soft, hot macadamia/white chocolate chunk sugar cookie does wonders.

1) If you could do one thing to make the world a better place, what would it be?
I guess I would like to ban religions (and I know that's not a short term solution and pretty controversial )

2) What is your favorite holiday tradition? Are there any specific to the part of the world you live in?
Here in the Netherlands and in Belgium we celebrate "Sinterklaas" (which is actually the person Santa Clause was based upon). It means loads of candy and loads of gifts.
I'm not all that materialistic, but the sinterklaasevenings we've had always were fantastic .

3) What do you want to be when you "grow up"?
I'd love to make proper recordings of good bands.
Altough it has been worse, this 'mp3 generation' has made recording accessible for everyone. And that's audible.

4) Would you prefer to live in the city or the countryside?
Countryside!!!
I wouldn't be able to live in a city longer than a week.
I love the quiet of the countryside.
I like cities as they can be interesting, but I would never want to live there

5) Why are things easier said than done?
Because I never think before I say anything.
Yah, that's bad.

6) What's your favorite type of cookie? (I might make you some).

Safe drinking water for all. It can't be that difficult.
2) What is your favorite holiday tradition? Are there any specific to the part of the world you live in?
Getting drunk and having a genuine excuse for it.
3) What do you want to be when you "grow up"?
Older.
4) Would you prefer to live in the city or the countryside?
Countryside as most people are annoying.
5) Why are things easier said than done?
Because the head usually rules the heart in the cold light of day so what you say is not always what you do.
6) What's your favorite type of cookie? (I might make you some).
None. Don't eat them. I have already lost my hair without resorting to the cliche of Fat and bald.

For reals. Enjoying the occasional cookie isn't going to get you a belly overnight.
