    Getting to Know Each Other

    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??

    5) Religion/non-denominational belief/faith??

    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.
