Physical contact and financial risk taking.

Reminds me to a rather good book i've read ages ago, as a teen:  The Hidden Dimension by Edward T Hall - the full book is online in PDF: 

http://www.philo-online.com/TEXTES/HALL%20Edward%20Twichell%20-%20The%20hidden%20dimension.pdf     (i recommend to TC)

^

One thing i realised by reading / reflecting upon it at the time  was the mutuality of acceptable proximity.   E. g.  when the other party/parties is from an inherently reclusive pool (like "nordic" etc.), then even a much wider distance still verges on intrusive for me (and presumably for the other party as well).  Whereas with a traditionally less inhibited culture (gypsies, various 'southern' types), close proximity - even accidental physical contact - feels a lot more natural / unobtrusive.   So 'personal space' is not a fixed stagnant - it boils down to momentary, involuntary, mutual interaction i guess.  

That  in a cultural context though, regardless of gender.    Frankly,  as a female,  i tend to get creeped out by other females touching me in any manner.

Pickpockets 101, lol.    Ever watched Italian gypsy pickpocket girls in action?   An admirable skill - and a dying trade.

Don't post in my thread you specimen of human filth. Disgusting, unproductive cockroaches like you aught to have been put down in the name of societal utility. The fact that you've (willfully) many times made your children homeless and forced them to live under the conditions only a cockroach like yourself would see as dignified living conditions is proof of this.

oh caddy..<3

I think I'll turn this into a Norwegian death metal thread :D

Your lack of subtlety makes this blatantly into spam.

I'm sure you understand why I'm cleaning this up. 

your mod status has finally become sexy. omfg

"The hell is wrong with you, letting personal dislike of someone make you censor the forum?"

I doubt you'd be any different as Mod. In fact, I'd lay a bet on you being far worse. I recall you once saying if you were in Luna's position you would abuse your power too. It makes me laugh to watch you, Ed. Because I know you can't see how your life philosophy revolves around whether or not something is affected you personally, or just raining on someone else's parade. If it somehow cuts into your fun or in this case, worship of you, then you get all justice league on everyone's ass, and demand fairness and "no betrayal on this forum that is the epitome of real friendship and honour!" We'll, you would never embarrass yourself by saying exactly those ridiculous words, but your actions on here are just as laughable and ridiculous because you only care about you.

You're a loyal friend as long as there's something in it for you, and everyone is playing by your rules. The minute they do something that pisses you off, you remind them that you're not really anyone's friend here, and that it's basically stupid of them to expect any real attachment from anyone here. I recall you preaching to me a couple of occasions that everything is fair game here, that you will do or say whatever you want with no regard to the feelings of others, because all's fair in love and war. 

I bring all this up because I'm wondering if you're capable of really seeing yourself and how full of shit you are? :)

I always found instilling a sense of trust and closeness was always tied to the amount of physical contact you make with that person. Handshaking is great but just half the story, consensual proximity to the person you're talking or trying to convince is important, even to the point of intimidation (even though I know this is hard for most of you don't be a fucking weirdo and make sure the receiving end is not reacting negatively). Touching the person's shoulders and patting them on the back have been shown to yield significant results in getting people less risk averse, if the person doing the touching is female (http://pss.sagepub.com/content/21/6/804.long horrible methodology and small trail groups mean that this study is very unreliable but it still strengthens the point) however I suspect that it works for both genders.

 

I think you are correct. Although some situation may be the opposite,inappropriate and unwelcome.

Like an older man touching a young woman(cant wait to see what people say about that one).

or like a young soldier touching his superior drill sargent. Ha. got to laugh about that one.

She's not the type to listen to anyone without processing, but the other thread suggests you two have talked a lot in pm lately. All process needs some prime material for it, and I tasted some sugar in the composition. Maybe I was wrong, but no harm in throwing it out there and double-checking the product before any diabetes person eats it :D

I don't disagree with this at all. But I didn't accept the mod position, did I? I was offered it and said no because of lack of time and my temper.

Do you think Turncoat was right to delete the 5 music posts? Was I not right in saying what I said? I remember you being against abuse of mod power.

The rest of your post is an excuse to vent for some reason. I disagree with all that and see a lot of sugary influence in it, but you're free to believe whatever you want.
