    :lol: define "you people". I assume you mean the south, not the US in general. Upstate New York, Minnesota or northern Wisconsin (or any mountainous area with elevations over 8,000 feet for example) not to mention Alaska have way colder temps and snow/ice than you do in your particular city.

    I'm talking about New Jersey, the state. Can't say I saw a huge amount of the place but what I did was very forested.

    It seems that any time Anna / Shirogayne goes anywhere, she goes to the one absolute worst spot of the entire place and then concludes that the entire place is just as bad as its worst spot.

    If multiple women have to finish up on their own, the problem isn't them. :lol:

    PS: the G spot is about an inch or two on the inside of the vagina and feels a bit spongy. It's better to use fingers than your dick, especially if you have no experience. :yes:

    *looks in to check if socialism argument is doing the normal thing*

    Yup, completely run off topic because of socialismaphobia.

    I am really thinking we should just rename the modern idea of socialism.

    Has @Captain X ever actually said how socialism means killing people? I am assuming that by his present logic capitalism also means killing people because capitalist dictators often do so.

    Perhaps @Captain X should spend less of his mental capacity thinking about his pillow and more learning about people and things that he is talking about.

    Nah, it's easier to debate with slogans.

    Strange thing is from what I can ascertain he's quite an intelligent man in a dogmatic, technical way,

    Problem is intelligence comes in more than one form and sadly his is not of the sort that questions paradigms or demonstrates great conceptual flexibility.

    Mostly... if "the south" starts at about the latitude of Philidelphia.
    How do you compare them to the snowfall/temps of MTL?
    I've lived in three of our prairie cities during winters (including Calgary during the first part of '89) and for me the cold humidity factor here at -10 is a fuck ton nastier than a dry -35 in Saskatoon.

    Not to mention incidents like this, where 143 people died because the doors were locked to prevent them from taking unauthorized breaks.

    I know a few folks like him... they'll go so far as to deny colonialism as a mechanism of capitalism. Especially when you bring up things like Belgium in the Congo or, well, Britain at all before going on about the minor landed noblity of Russia that were persecuted during the revolution there.

    Which is by and large where the case against socialism comes from.

    How many times do we hear about gulags but overlook British concentration camps?

    How often do we hear about forced labour camps by the same people who go out of their way to minimise slavery?

    The sins of socialism have at least been within the memories of people still alive. Not slavery or British concentration camps.

    Already done. The Kewl Kidz call it "progressivism" these days. As in "progressively making more people miserable."

    Slavery is alive and well, and very much a feature of capitalism.

    No, progressively making rich assholes less able to be assholes.

    Your sentence is capitalism in a fucking nutshell for anyone not rich enough to lobby Congress.

    Or ongoing slavery, or countless invasions and state supported violent insurrections, or vast social disparities, or incarceration for profit, or nation after nation being undermined in the interest of western interests.

    Which is why Finland, Norway, and Denmark, which have a lot of those policies, consistently rank at the bottom of the annual World Happiness Report.

    Oh, wait.
