You're very naive if you don't think his scenario is playing out all over the internet as we speak. It will blow up into a nightmare scenario for a lot of people very quickly once the tech gets better.

"Simply?" Most men don't find that they can simply go and do that. Porn is the "simple" answer. And it's addictive.

They will lose a lot, because real women on OF are predatory, and extract money from desperate men. Why pay for that when you can have basically the same thing for cheap/free?

There's no love here. This is pornography we're talking about.

Can't wait for the next generation of porn addicts. Bring on the class-action lawsuits!

The change happened gradually throughout the 90's. People born in the late 80's typically had free-roam experience, while those born in the miid-late 90's did not,

Check out Starroad Junction every saturday from 4-6 central time CKUW 95.9 FM for a great prog/art-rock/jazz-fusion show!

Went to many music festivals, clubs, dances with them. They couldn't dance. They weren't incapable of learning how to dance. They just weren't automatically good at dancing because they were good at playing music.

I guess being around musicians my whole life i've never considered that there would be a correlation, cause the skills aren't transferrable.

There are a lot of famous singers that don't dance on stage. Neil Young, Kurt Cobain, Geddy Lee, Bob Dylan. Having a sense of rhythm and a good ear just aren't enough to make you a good dancer.

wow, such a testy response.

Okay,singing requires manipulation of your voice (diaphragm + airways. You also need to know the correct posture to keep,but its not 100% necessary).

Dancing requires manipulation of your feet, legs, hips, shoulders, arms, hands, and head. Sometimes your belly and butt as well.

Just having a sense of rhythm isn't good enough. You can bob along to a rhythm with 100% accuracy, and not be "dancing." You need to know how to move your body in a way that is rhythmically accurate and pleasing to the eye, coordinating different body parts in alternating, but synchronized patterns. It's a totally different skill set. Musicians,for example, are often very reluctant dancers.

Ireland is like this too, maybe it's a cultural legacy from the Brits (who are known for this as well).

Ones that are all colder than Iceland

I think what you're saying is that you find those temperatures very cold. You asked what "inhabited places" are colder than that; I gave you a list of countries totalling around 200 million people who would not find Icelandic winters cold. I'm not sure they'd be too happy with a high of 11 in the summer though.

an average low of 0 celsius in the winter is a LOT warmer than Canada, except maybe on the west coast. It's probably warmer than the Nordics too, and maybe Russia.

why don't you just throw the cigarette on the ground? why don't you just stop drinking?

my mom is like this too and i have a really strong negative reaction towards anyone who dominates a conversation or talks too much as a result
