The movie theaters in my area are going to start selling alcohol. Is this a good idea, or a bad idea?

It's certainly good for the management as it will make them a fortune given how much they can charge!
Yes, it's good that people have the choice of harmlessly drinking a few beers/wines, so long as they don't drunkenly cause any trouble to other film-goers.
Cheers!

How do you deal with important life decisions?

I don't know what I do, but it probably isn't right :)
Do you like Douglas Adams? In his classic, Mostly Harmless, Arthur Dent seeks advice from a woman who lives in a cave.
"This is, er, your advice, is it?" said Arthur, leafing through them uncertainly.
No," said the old lady. "It's the story of my life. You see, the
quality of any advice anybody has to offer has to be judged against the
quality of life they actually lead. Now, as you look through this
document you'll see that I've underline all the major decisions I ever
made to make them stand out. They're all indexed and cross-referenced.
See? All I can suggest is that if you take decisions that are exactly
opposite to the sort of decisions that I've taken, then maybe you won't
finish up at the end of your life" - she paused, and filled her lungs
for a good shout - "in a smelly old cave like this!"
She grabbed up her table tennis bat, rolled up her sleeve, stomped off
to her pile of dead goatlike things and started to set about the flies
with vim and vigor."

What should I eat when I'm sad? Your recipe?

It depends what food is available in your country! I'd advise against eating too much. Did you know in German there's a word, "kummerspeck" that literally means "grief bacon" and refers to the weight gain caused by comfort eating.
Why not a bag of sweets for immediate effect or fruit & vegetables over the long term, once you've eaten the sweets, healthy food & fresh air will at least prevent things from being worse than they need to be.
I found a Werther's Original in my pocket today & it did cheer me up :)

What recent news has interested you? For me it’s this DNA study of a mid-stone-age Briton, revealing his blue eyes and dark/black skin. http://www.nhm.ac.uk/discover/cheddar-man-mesolithic-britain-blue-eyed-boy.html?utm_source=fb-link-post-20180207-lh&utm_medium=social&utm_campaign=human-evolution

That is fascinating but I couldn't help thinking of Ford Prefect's words of wisdom when he sees the cavemen on prehistoric Earth:
Mean?" said Arthur, "Mean? You know perfectly well what it means. It means that this planet is the Earth! It's my home! It's where I was born!"
"Was?" said Ford.
"Alright, will be."
"Yes, in two million years' time. Why don't you tell them that? Go and say to them, `Excuse me, I'd just like to point out that in two million years' time I will be born just a few miles from here.' See what they say. They'll chase you up a tree and set fire to it."
Arthur absorbed this unhappily.
"Face it," said Ford, "those zeebs over there are your ancestors, not these poor creatures here."
He went over to where the apemen creatures were rummaging listlessly with the stone letters. He shook his head.
"Put the Scrabble away, Arthur," he said, "it won't save the human race, because this lot aren't going to be the human race. The human race is currently sitting round a rock on the other side of this hill making documentaries about themselves."
Very sad for those people and the people in this story, who may have left some traces of DNA but whose lives and hopes are unknown.
As for the story I'm on, I'm horrified by the tales of the "attack" on Jake Rees-Mogg. Unsurprisingly, as with everything involving that smarmy hypocrite, it wasn't what the right-wing crybullies want it to be.

What things force you to be outside more often?

As a rule I choose to be outside as my work and home life are inside and I need fresh air, exercise etc.
Be it a rural route or an urban park like this in the city my girlfriend lives in.

I'm fascinated as these places shed light on the past and present in a way I hope I've conveyed in the posts and while the snowdrops hadn't quite come up (hopefully they will next week), I loved this splash of colour in the Mediterranean room.
What things force you to be outside more often

Why are women from third world countries so desperate to marry a man from a wealthy country even if he’s unattractive and earns the minimum wage. She’s still happy to stay with him to death, I would rather be poor than be forced to spend the rest of my life with someone I don’t find attractive.

Good job no one has ever asked then

Is kindness always winning the evil?

It may or it may not, fam, it depends on our actions. Most people are indifferent and I do think the silent majority can passively accept evil so long as they have their creature comforts.
So I encourage you to do good or at least
"Be good, sweet maid, and let who will be clever;
Do noble things, not dream them, all day long:
And so make life, death, and that vast for-ever
One grand, sweet song."

What do your parents like to listen to?

Both Of them like 70s music, my mum likes things like Motown Chartbusters and my dad likes heavy rock, he
is favourite group is Led Zeppelin.
I like my dad's stuff more but I love it all, so I was overjoyed when I discovered Glenn Hughes, a perfect hybrid of the two!

What historical literature do you find interesting to study?

All of it :)
If you're looking for recommendations, it depends what your interests are. I can tell you what I've read recently. During the London trip
http://dry-valleys.tumblr.com/tagged/london
I read an amazing book, a historical fiction about life in London down the centuries by Edward Rutherfurd.
http://www.nytimes.com/books/97/08/03/daily/london-book-review.html
It has informed my research into my London trips and other events as his charachters are excellently drawn with imagination underpinned by research. After reading, and it's extremely readable, I feel as well informed as if I'd been to a lecture by an academic historian, and much more interested.
