Questions you should like to see them ask in a Miss World Pageant

[Kennigit]

won't somebody please think of the children.

to answer the OP, I'd probably like it if they presented an issue they (presumably) cared about. Questions this year ranged from asking about notable entertainment performances to somebody being asked about the US Syria news or income inequality, but since you're going to get canned responses anyways may as well have them talk about what sort of charitable/education/whatever work they wish to get involved in as a public figure (I assume miss usa/miss world or whatever gets shipped around some to various events; they probably have to detail out a plan beforehand too).

That way it's at least a mildly decent canned response, instead of ranging from mildly decent to outright dumb.

Every child you have before you're twenty lowers your chance of getting breast cancer by 25%.

(I wonder if that's true. I seem to have heard it somewhere recently.)

There was also something about light pollution at night causing breast cancer too. But I digress.

And the biological differences are relevant to a Miss World Pageant in what way?

Is it a kind of legitimate cattle market for the overwhelmingly male audience to pick out their favourite and say "I'll have that one"?

Have you actually seen viewership demographics for these Pageants? I'm willing to bet a large percentage are women, perhaps even more than men. Being beautiful is important to women, and its not just for the sake of attracting men. There's nothing wrong with wanting to be pretty.

35 is where many consider the cutoff to be for safe child-bearing.

 

[Borachio]

I understand that figure of 35 is pretty much open to question.

There is an increase in the chance of a Downs baby for older mothers, but as far as the health of the mother is concerned it appears that they do very well up to 50.

The thing about people in the Feminist movement is that they want the two sexes to be treated exactly the same

I don't really think this is true.

edit: messed up quoting

 

[Archbob]

yeah, but I'm guessing most people who rather minimize the chance of birth defects in their kids.

 

[Borachio]

That's undoubtedly true. Everything else being equal.

I'm not sure many people plan when to have their families with any such rationality though. It happens when it happens. If it does at all.

35 is where many consider the cutoff to be for safe child-bearing.

According to the BBC, women over 40 have between 98 and 99% chance of getting a baby without chromosomal abnormalities. I'd call that pretty safe child-bearing, even if the probability of something going wrong is even smaller for younger women.

Ok I will play =)
One question that I have always wanted answered TRUTHFULLY

'Are you a virgin?'

One question that I have always wanted answered TRUTHFULLY

'Are you a virgin?'

Why would you know? Seriously. What answers would you expect?

 

[Borachio]

Fear of disease? Or fear that someone has made a preemptive strike and he doesn't want to pay for someone else's progeny?

Or... simply the desire for a green field site?

Just idle curiosity, perhaps?

 

[Archbob]

I still like my original question the best.
Miss China would execute Miss Taiwan and Miss Taiwan would execute Miss China and then they would have to fight a mud battle to determine the champion. Now that would bring viewers.

The question of whether they are Virgin or not -- not so interesting.

 

[Chiteng]

Why would you know? Seriously. What answers would you expect?

It doesnt matter what I expect. The question is what I WANT.

If a woman wants to be admired. She should be admirable.
One of the aspects is MORALITY. I dont find promiscuous women admirable.
In fact, I find them loathsome.

I did specify truthfully.

 

[Cheezy the Wiz]

And what about promiscuous men?

 

[Chiteng]

And what about promiscuous men?

They are not in that contest, nicht wahr?

 

[Borachio]

Being a promiscuous woman (a slut) is easy, but being a promiscuous man (a stud) takes hard work?

So the question to ask Miss World is "Are you a slut?"

It would be a bit predictable after a while. Like Eurovision. We all know which country Cyprus will give douze points.

 

[Archbob]

Wouldn't it be ironic if an international conflict began because 2 women had a catfight at a beauty pageant though?

Like:

Miss Canada: I'd execute Miss U.S.A. I can't stand that *beeping beep*
Miss USA: Punches Miss Canada

They start fighting

Next day US declares war on Canada

Although I think Miss Israel would be executed the most often.

Being a promiscuous woman (a slut) is easy, but being a promiscuous man (a stud) takes hard work?

Wouldn't say that. Men have more sexual partners on average than women.

 

[Antilogic]

Wouldn't say that. Men have more sexual partners on average than women.

Isn't this mathematically impossible unless men are more likely to bang each other?

In the survey conducted by the National Center for Health Statistics on 6,237 adults between the ages of 20 to 59 from 1999 to 2002, it was found that 29% of men had 15 or more sexual partners, and 9% of women had sex with 15 or more men.

In the same survey, it’s reported that 46% of black men and 13% of black women had 15 or more sexual partners in their lifetime and 17% of men and 10% of women had 2 or more sexual partners in the previous year.

It’s also reported that 25% of women and 17% of men reported they had no more than one sexual partner in their entire life.

A national survey reported that teenage males had four or more sexual partners. This was higher than the number reported by teenager females.

35% of school students were sexually active and 47.8% had sexual intercourse.

16% of people in the US had sex before the age of 15 and 15% abstained until they reached 21 years of age. 6% of Blacks, 17% of Mexican-Americans, and 15% of non-Hispanic Whites abstained from sex until 21 years old or older.
