		<description><![CDATA[I went to the stage production of The Full Monty but they lit the end part in such a way that it was impossible to make out any penises. I wouldn&#039;t go to a strip club or anything either. Not my thing.

Most of the cards are written in a way that won&#039;t guide a person toward a specific or &quot;preferred&quot; answer. It&#039;s meant to be a party game rather than an ethics course, after all. I like how you responded to questions 2 and 3, though. 

As to question 4, it feels a bit like high school - at least high school I saw on TV. I didn&#039;t date in high school. I&#039;m assuming these are two people I like but one I like a bit more for some reason. I wouldn&#039;t break the first date because that&#039;s kind of mean. I&#039;d arrange some other night for the other person.

In terms of not dating people I don&#039;t like.. if it&#039;s dating via online set-ups by cupid.com or plentyoffish, it&#039;s not unusual to wind up arranging a date with a person who seemed likeable online but sets alarm bells clanging once you&#039;re in the same room. Then I might wish I&#039;d cancelled and gone with the other guy...]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Let&#039;s see:

I can&#039;t say for question 1, because I can&#039;t imagine a circumstance in which I would be in that situation. I would never go to &quot;a nude show&quot; in the first place.

Question 2 depends a lot on context. What is my charitable organization? Will this money, via my organization, keep more than one person alive -- thus providing a reason to use it to save those people instead -- or will it just plant a few flowers around the city? Is this widow young and likely to live a long life, or is she in her 80s and only alive via immediate medical intervention? This question is too brief of a description to give a definitive answer.

Question 3 is likewise too simple, but I can give a tentative answer: make the woman sign a notarized confession before witnesses, but agree not to press charges as long as she stops doing it, and notify everyone what to watch out for. (After all, we don&#039;t have proof that it has been going on for very long, and pressing charges might well cost more than the loss.)

Question 4: no, because I try to abide by Miss Manners&#039; dictates, and in those circumstances the rule is &quot;first come, first served&quot;. Although I must add that, as with question 1, I can&#039;t imagine being in this situation -- I wouldn&#039;t make a date with someone I didn&#039;t like in the first place.]]></description>
