Thats disguisting! there is no place 4 that in the world i wuld like 2 live in!
I submit to you that from the rise of Christianity till the industrial revolution, money was about food.
Money being about sex is the unchained beast let loose at the end for it's last rampage. Specifically to wage war on the virgins.
And I'm talking about male virginity here especially. Something that is harassed and ridiculed. Subjected to peer pressure, and the plot of hollywood comedies.

I see absolutely no point to this thread from what op has provided.
Last year in North America, players of Nexon’s massively multiplayer online role-playing game MapleStory tied the knot in 26,982 in-game marriages, performed with a price tag of $25 per wedding. Now, while it may seem that spending real-world money to get married in a virtual one is the sad part, don’t be so heartless–because it gets worse. The real tears start to flow when you learn that of those virtual marriages, 20,344 (75 percent) went on to be annulled later at the player’s request.

Since then, couples across China have been thinking more seriously about tying the knot: in the southwest city of Chongqing alone, marriage registrations fell by 30% in the weeks after the changes were made.

I'm not a 'chap' - I'm a woman - and one who finds there's a lot more to the 'meaning of life' than to procreate. So so much more!
Also - anyone who can't see through the glaring obviousness or everything around (people, media, religion, etc) you using sex to control you?
Love is a code word for skill.
Nothing more.
Can't hit the nail on the head much truer than that.
Wonderful line of thinking. Thank you.

that couldn't be right? 30,000 a year??? but sure almost 3,000 died in 9/11 and that was like the most shocking thing every to happen in the whole world.ever. like the US had to invade 2 countries over it and kill and tortue and bomb and murder etc.
30,000 a year? that would be like 300,000 people dead since 9/11 happened. nah, i reckon your making that up Dave.edit on 20-9-2011 by JohnySeagull because: (no reason given)
