Hey friends I was just wondering if anyone of you ever wanted to be a spy. I always dig those cool gadgets and stuff which they give out to these spy people for free in return for doing dangerous assignments. Ever thought of yourself as James Bond 007? Do you also want gadgets. I also liked these gadgets so much since i was a kid and still i do want them now. What do you think? Are you eligible to be a spy? What would you do if you were one. Maybe a like The matrix. What gadgets would you like to have and what mission would you undertake?

Gadgets would be very cool. I think one of my favorite books/movies is the Bourne Trilogy. I love the survival without the gadgets more than with them. Knowing several different languages and all of the international travel would be great! Of course a decked out 007 car would be awesome as well.

A person after my own heart lol - have never been much of a gadget person myself, love to see them but never seem to get them to work so easily for me :( so I also love the Bourne movies and the survival with minimal gadgets or being able to use whatever comes to hand effectively stuff.. Course I also don't know anyone who would turn down a 007 car :)

I have been spying all my life. My first subject was my mother. I observed her at the tender age of 3, doing her chores. She didn't realize there was a master spy watching her. She would never suspect that her own three-year-old son was taking notes of everything she did. I would keep a journal and carefully enter facts into it which I thought might someday come in handy were I to need the inside-story on my Mom. Later I moved onto spying on strangers. I would pick a random person and start following them for one day, being careful not to be spotted. It was excellent practice for what I would someday do for a living. The first country I spied for was Transylvania. I was hired to keep a file on any vampires I found there and submit my reports to the proper department in the Transylvania government. I found my first vampire by looking for people with tiny tiny holes in their neck. I knew these people were being sucked dry by a vampire each night, so all I had to do was sit outside their house and wait for a vampire to come and crawl up the side of their house. I photographed everything followed the vampire to his castle. There I was hired as a butler so I could continue my spy-work. Nowadays I am retired from full-time spying so I just do it now and then when I need some money. I hope to spy on myself someday, but so far I cannot sneak up on myself without myself knowing about it. But someday...someday...I just might. And then, I will be the greatest spy in the world!

I really like spy movies or something like that. I want to be a spy too! I think it's a cool job. But becoming a spy needs special intelligence and skills. Not everyone can be a spy. One must have exceptional thinking skills to be a spy. But if ever I am a spy/agent/detective or something like that I'd like to solve mysterious cases like the ones in Sherlock Holmes. Hehe.

Hello! Yes I wanted to be spy when I was kid. In kid time I and my friends always play spies. We observed, tracking people to know what are they what they do. Ha ha If we do It now some people would think that we are weird or with some problems. If kid time I also enjoyed movies about spies. But, now I do not want to be spy, because it can be costly to my life. I think spies always live with fear. If I be a spy I want to be a good boy and spy the bad guys like gangsters or other bad people. Have a nice day!

if it would be like austin powers yes. but even i dont believe that real spies have nice cut hair, neat clothes and such. i personally believe that 90% of being a spy is boring.

Hello. :-) As a teenager I always wanted to be a spy or an under cover agent. I was influenced somehow by too much reading Sidney Sheldon's books and the love for Nancy Drew collections.lol I like the thrill and the danger of pursuing something especially from the underworld. But, I like spying aptly termed sleuthing, in everything. This is the reason why Charle's Angels appeals to me so much. They are so cool.

Be a spy? That is out of my imagination. I do not think to become a spy a nice. You have to be alert all the time and to pretend all the time. I would prefer to be a normal people who can just live peacefully.
