Nataly 38 #26 November 18, 2010 The answer to both questions is "it depends." For me, the possibility of "hooking up" with a lot of people is meaningless, because a truly valuable relationship is valuable because it's good and a good relationship/connection is rare - quantity is not the same as quality. As for marrying a member of the royal family... Generally speaking, it sounds like my idea of hell... But if you love someone, again, it's a rare thing, so it would take a lot for me to give that up..."There is no problem so bad you can't make it worse." - Chris Hadfield « Sors le martinet et flagelle toi indigne contrôleuse de gestion. » - my boss Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
jakee 1,594 #27 November 18, 2010 QuoteDiana's death really emphasised this weird celebrity culture sickness at the heart of society. I found the whole public outpouring of grief depressing and embarrassing - people who refuse to speak to members of their own family, wailing at the 'loss' of someone they didn't even know except as a half-real figure on TV. Yep, TBH it majorly gives me the creeps. Half the country turning into a bunch of fucking grief parasites pretending like it affects them in any way whatsoever. It's just disturbing.Do you want to have an ideagasm? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
