I doubt LR pursues street cred, she rolls her own rebellious way. I can just picture her in the Brando role in The Wild One being asked what she was rebelling against and replying 'What've you got?'.

I don't need street cred. I have always done my own thing from a very young age, often putting myself in danger, like the time I tackled a gang of youths who were taunting an elderly bag lady. I have no doubt I would do the same today if the situation arose. My favourite refrain is, 'don't do anything I would do', the response is usually, 'no we wouldn't be that stupid'! ;D

The outlook of that great philosopher Groucho Marks comes to mind: 'Those are my principles, and if you don't like them...well I have others.'

The secret of life is honesty and fair dealing. If you can fake that, you've got it made.

Just another one of Groucho's as is

There's one way to find out if a man is honest - ask him. If he says, 'Yes,' you know he is a crook.

I never forget a face, but in your case, I'll be glad to make an exception.

You would need a blindfold as the sight might be so horrific. ;D

I have always been bad at remembering faces, especially those of women, it has got worse in my old age. :o

Likewise - but you simply get points for agreeing with the masses, rather than for any 'right' answer. So all this does is determine whether your views are mainstream.

I did find the question about VR gaming strange simply because, as others have pointed out, it is a game. I replied 'sometimes' and I think that is one of my 'wrong' answers. I'm not a gamer, and what we might be missing are the rules and expectations in first person shooter games - I think in many cases the rules expect you not to shoot civilians and you lose points for doing so. So avoiding shooting them is part of the game. So there may be a huge community of gamers out there who have an in-built ethical code that you don't shoot civilians in games and I am not part of that community.

Odd little quiz. I do wonder about whether the questions were answered honestly.

6 out of 10 for me too.
