I like a multitude of films. I enjoy cliche mainstream to hard-to-find independent. But, when I think of how a movie leaves me feeling, I typically want to feel either empowered (as a person) or positive about life. So, in that regard, I like the Avengers because it is a movie about beings with different abilities joining together to battle the evil that threatens humanity. Well, in that same regard, I like the Matrix because I like thinking of alternate realities.What is your favorite film of the moment, and why do you like it so much?
I would most likely choose either 18th century Japan, or Victorian era London, England, or Sparta. Different reasons for each. Japan because I've always been fascinated by the traditional culture, London because it seemed like the world had order (although it was a bit unfair for a lot of people), and Sparta because I enjoy the aspect of having to serve your country before you become a citizen. Actually, Ancient Greece, in general, because it just seems like it would have been better than most civilizations.If you could experience life in a different place or era, when and where would it be, and why?
Better education system. Children don't need to be pandered to, they need to be educated. If a child is more concerned about what they can get away with because the system protects them from getting into trouble, then, we've gone too far in the wrong direction and need to change the strategy of conducting education.If you had to choose only one, which issue in your country right now do you feel needs to be addressed the most (protection of the environment, economic equality, governmental transparency, conservation of endangered species, better education system, etc etc etc)
Chinese food. I love eating with chopsticks. It could be Chinese, Japanese, Korean, Thai, or Filipino food; I love them all.You could have anything you want for dinner tonight. What would it be?

That's a tough one. I'll say fighting bad guys, Final Fantasy VII: Advent Children style.If you could master one skill perfectly, what would it be?
I came out to be Libertarian Left. I scored Economic Left/Right: -1.12 and Social Libertarian/Authoritarian: -2.56. :side:Take the political compass test . Where do you stand?

Also a tough one. I can say where I'd like to be in 10 years; working in a lab as a cellular/molecular biologist, researching certain diseases and how to cure them.Where do you picture yourself in 10 years?
