[QUOTE=adbforever;18623685]it helps us make better ones via experiences of others with people, products, and services

hate to use dating sites as an example, so I'll say look at amazon. Customer reviews on products.

before the internet word of mouth was dominant. A sample size of 100 is more accurate than the size of 1. The opinions of the many generally outweigh the opinions of the few.[/QUOTE]

how are amazon customer reviews or just about anything on the internet that is not a formal publication not "word of mouth"

the internet also means that people like you, and to some extent me, can hide in the comfort of their homes and do the majority of socialisation online rather than go out and experience the world. sure you can meet people and make good connections but you can also make more meaningful connections with people outside of the internet if you persist a little instead of just making some sweeping judgement about those you meet outside of the internet

it means that cultural traditions are more for special situations, as I've stated.

reviewing people on the internet doesn't work and can't because getting personal can equate to a lot of potential trouble with anyone you know irl

there is no perceived risk with strangers, however.

wtf are you talking about

brent loses his marbles

[QUOTE=Haz;18623698]how are amazon customer reviews or just about anything on the internet that is not a formal publication not "word of mouth"[/QUOTE]

they are, but theres more of them available

sample size of 50 is the norm in marketing research for getting a decent idea of anything

technology has alienated us though, we are becoming asphyxiated in the depths of our own egos, we do not think together, cognitive dissonance is something to be considered at all times now, we do not need to be cohesive for survival

my point is that if the majority of people are normally right then perhaps the vast majority of people over thousands of years who have valued marriage know better than you, brent

we are more connected to people - ie we can make contact through facebook, internet forums, etc but who can say that these things have really aided our social lives?

it depends on their level of specialization stevie

people who review products are usually more emphatic and knowledgable of a category of products

wtf does that have to do with marriage or traditions

well comparing our history there is little difference between considering the rise of the internet and the advent of electricity, within the smallest bit of recent past because of things like these communications our [B]need[/B] for a social life has become almost nonexistent, maybe that is unhealthy.

i don't think aaron could have predicted that him briefly mentioning his wedding would have resulted in yet another late night brent gang-bang

he'd probably just smile that goofy smile and then bang his cute fiancee

tacos, probably

I can't value traditions or marriage when the internet exists

when I was talking about biproducts, I can use the internet as being a biproduct of shaping why I believe marriage, and traditions in general are horse shit

marriage has little to appeal to me at this age

you've made me aware personal experiences in specific situations are obviously things that the internet doesn't really have unless you specifically communicate with others whom are older and more experienced in certain ways.

brent must still be feeling pretty confident at this point, he hasn't posted any 4chan pics or replied to someone's post by just posting their avatar

idk if people are socialising [i]less[/i], just differently, because as much as im sitting alone in my house and haven't talked to anyone in a couple of days sitting here on mx is socialising to me

girl: brent baby i think its time we started thinking about our future maybe we should get married and start a family
brent: fuck that ive got mx, amazon and a hard drive full of 4chan memes

why have you narrowed down that so much? the majority of participants on the interent are of our generation and so don't have the life experiences that our elders have.

besides, i'd say this is a pretty rare site forum on the internet where you could get some good advice on things from people

i've found that i've needed my parents advice more now that i'm moving from the world i do know - education - to the adult world of jobs, responsibilities, independence, etc.

implying I would date a girl who'd want to start a family ever

yeah let's drag his bloated corpse into this too

i bet irl he gets really pissed when someone say never judge a book by its cover

"hey, you may percieve that mister, but common sense told me that demographics and marketing, marketing, the cover signifies, listen closelyYYYYYYYY :explodes:"

I really fucking wish more 50 year olds like jaylink existed

they do theyre just not on the internet

When Tyler sees all this, he's probably gonna be like: [i]ughh.. [b]not the communi-[/b] ..oh, why do I even bother..[/i]



In an attempt to stray from this discussion and post an actual photo (this is the photo album thread after all):

New sunglasses.

well i did think that but it is also the l&r thread it kinda fits into that right?

never saw a decent dthrone tshirt

Eh, true.

It's a Panzerfaust shirt. I don't wear it too often.

[QUOTE=adbforever;18623631]it depends on the marriage. a dyfunctional one is awful for raising kids, staying together just for the sake of their kids..I have first hand experience of that

my rebuttal is DON'T HAVE KIDS. I could never be w/ a girl who wanted kids

I'm adamant in my view of kids. They're god awful.[/QUOTE]

You're the size of kids. Do you find them threatening? What's their salt and or taste rating?

Anyway, do what makes you happy man. But realise that your viewpoint is pretty weird and if you voice it don't expect people to keep quiet.

I wouldn't want to have children of my own, but working with children is pretty cool (above age 12 or so, that is).

oh so teenagers

If he voices his opinion it becomes hilarious though, high pitched teenage mutant ninja turtle voice going "LIKE DONT HAVE KIDS MYAN, IMPWYING ID EVER GET WITH A CHICK WHO WANTED LITTLE TURTLES MYAN, COWABUNGA"

i want to hear someone with a dry english accent saying cowabunga
