1. Name one movie you wish everybody could watch. This one is hard. Off the top of my head I'm going to say Timeline.

2. Name two books you wish everybody could read. Angels & Demons by Dan Brown ... and Romeo and Juliet.

3. Name three goals you wish everybody could achieve. Find someone to spend the rest of your life with, gain a career honestly that you enjoy, and be generally happy.

4. Name four people you wish everybody could know. This is hard too. My mom would be number one. Ellen Degeneres, lol. Any good teacher I've ever had. Someone who inspires and motivates.

5. Name five places you wish everybody could visit. A beach during sunrise or sunset. A pretty meadow away from technology. Machu Picchu. Somewhere in the North to see the Aurora Borealis. Great Barrier Reef (or some other beautiful reef to scuba dive around).

That took forever to thing about. Took me almost an hour to do this.

FYI, Romeo and Juliet isn't a book, It's a play.

Lol, well I know its a play, but...

Definition of Book: a written or printed work of fiction or nonfiction, usually on sheets of paper fastened or bound together within covers.

So it counts as a book in my mind.

So I don't think people should be forced to watch/visit/read whatever, but these are my suggestions of things I watched/visited/read/whatever...

1. Name one movie you wish everybody could watch.
Waking Life
2. Name two books you wish everybody could read.
The Dream of Scipio and The Venitian's Wife
3. Name three goals you wish everybody could achieve.
I would want them to find themselves, truely hurt someone else, and go out and make grass angels
4. Name four people you wish everybody could know.
Someone who loves them but they do not love, someone they love but does not love them, someone who will always be there for them, and someone who will die when they need them most.
5. Name five places you wish everybody could visit. (I am surprised Hong Kong made several lists, I found it rather unimpressive)
Guangzhou, China; Paris, France; Baltimore, Maryland; Bangor, Wales.

you would want people to hurt someone else? mind if i ask why?

Because I think negative experiences are just as important in shaping who we are as positive ones. For example, I ended a long term relationship about a year and a half ago. It really broke the other person's heart and it was really difficult, yet I think it profoundly changed who I am for the better. I didn't necessarily mean physically hurt, it could just as easy be emotionally, but it is an important experience, in my opinion, to have.
