You can never mock South Africans enough :lol::Goober:

If I were to wind up with a career as a sports writer, I'd use one of the above jibes to give it large to them whenever they lose.

I'm only kidding, [Member title=Drogzola], you know I like RSA :).

I hope you aren't referring to The Prince. Any of his other work is fine, but saying that The Prince is Machivelli's philosophy is ignorant. It is actually a satirical piece mocking the royalties and bourgeoisie of Europe. But I'm sure you knew that.

I've never read it.

Hmm?

Thats impossibru! For one thing, there weren't any questions that asked 'lol do you like shiny things/city life?'.

lol No, no mate, you misunderstood me a bit. Materialism is a 'school' of philosophy that teaches that the only thing that exists is matter or energy and everything that exists is made up of them (i.e. gods, spirits, afterlife, hell, heaven...etc don't exist). It is mostly synonymous with physicalism.

But I am a fairly religious person. This makes no sense :(

Didn't expect that.

I'm Catholic and I do take it somewhat seriously (though I consider myself a moderate). I go to church every Sunday.

I thought most knew? In either case being religious doesn't make me that much of a minority for people to be surprised by that. Its not like being a billionaire, there are plenty of faithful people in the world! :lol:

Hmm. I don't think I've ever posted anything anti-religion. Strange.

Its okay though, you can keep imagining that if you want :)

It's just this imagination of users thing, I guess. For example, I imagine that @Naked Mole Rat is a mini Mike Shinoda :P It's racist though, I know.

No, you destroyed it :cry::P

Anyway, these public bathing places also have rooms like the one in the video where people just sit and sweat because the temperature is up over 40 degrees if I'm not wrong.

You mean a sauna? Here it's very popular and average degrees in which people boil is 90-100 celsius, hardcores go over that. I'm not a fan of it either, but it's supposed to be healthy and it does feel good after coming out and splashing yourself with cold water.

In Finland it's very popular, I think. Especially in winter time. What about Estonia?
