I'm not very sensitive to pain, but I don't like it. But among all things, "pain" doesn't really make sense as a concept. Why is it inherently "worse" that tasting something sweet, or feeling something warm?

@Etcetera

If you really, really wanted to stretch it, you could boil it down to opinion, since masochists do exist.

But that doesn't say why.

@Etcetera

It does. Obviously, when the body is telling you something is going on that shouldn't, that is going to be a disturbing feeling... You don't like pain, do you?

<Snipped quote by Multifarious>

Yeah, but what makes pain worse than taste? It's pretty interesting to think of.

@Etcetera

Pain is the body's way of telling you, "Hey, there's something happening and it should definitely not be happening." Taste is just, "Yo, there's something in your mouth, dude."

But really, think about it. What is the feeling of pain, and why do people not like it?

@Etcetera

Pain is one of te kinds of signals nerves send to the brain, but people don't like it simply because it is natural not to.

<Snipped quote by Multifarious>

What is pain, really?

@Etcetera

Whatever it is, I don't like it.

@Multifarious Well I know it's not something you have to win. It's some kind of coding thing. But I can't quite help you on the specifics. Sadly. :c I will look it up though because I am curious myself. I'll get back to you, if I'm not beaten to the punch. :3

Edit: sig.grumpybumpers.com Here's a site that will do it. Just create as username/pass. And it will give you the ability to post multiple links. And as long as the preview shows them. All you do, is post that link plus. ">snipped quote<" in your "signature" and you should be able to have multiple sig's now. Welcome. xP

@SleepingSilence

Wow. Well, what do you know? I'll have to try that out when I get a free moment. Thanks for the information, my friend. Given that you can see my current sig, I'm absolutely certain you have confidence that I'll put it to good use.

Don't like pain?

@Etcetera

I don't know why I would, really. Pain hurts.

Quick, someone change the subject. XD

@SleepingSilence

I'd like to know how one acquires alternating sigs. Is it a thing you get from winning one of the contests, or am I missing something in the instruction manual?

No, I was kidding. Just two sisters. I really do have one brother though.

I actually like Obama, and I didn't vote for the guy. I disagree with him strongly on plenty of things, but the way he has handled himself is respectable in my opinion. I suppose I don't believe somebody has to be my ideal candidate for me to like them. And also, having grown up politically in the Bush years, it isn't going to take much to impress me anyway.

And no, it won't magically give them a perfectly equal shot, but it will give them the resources to make a real effort. The internet has helped a lot in evening the playing ground for people like Sanders or Paul, and their popularity on the internet does seem to show that their messages resonate if they can be heard. The media is corrupt only in the sense that they speak the duel language of money and popularity, and if you took the power of a Clinton or a Trump to dominate through their checkbooks, I think good candidates would get the ability to get their name out their on their own terms, and that from there they'd be able to make up the difference through their policies and personalities.

This I can vouch for.
