Poll de Nathan

[andrewducker]

Nathan asked me a whole bunch of disconnected questions (due to boredom, I suspect) and I liked them enough to convert them into a poll....

Y'know, I think the most interesting result of this is that people would rather spend a month without sex than the internet. IMHO, that's quite sad. What does it say about the 'net generation? I mean, I love the 'net, but it's just a tool for communication and storing/delivering info. Would I rather not have it? No, don't be silly. Could I miss it for a month and be fine? Absolutely. The same could be said about sex, of course, but physical, intimate contact with someone would always be more important to me. I can't imagine the 'net being such a part of my life that I'd rather have it than sex - but I'm glad it isn't.

I don’t think the net is more important to anyone than sex. That would put him or her into a classification of loser I was unaware existed. However, I answered that I would rather go a month without sex than the Internet because being a single guy I already commonly do.

Reasonable point - I guess it's how you read the question. Still rather does imply that you are given the choice. You don't choose the 'net over sex, you're kinda stuck with it. And that sounds really horrible, but you know what I mean....

Well, as one of the sad muppets that voted for internet over sex, I can say that if it had been a choice between hugs/internet I'd have found the decision a lot harder to make....

LOL. Yeah, if I could chose unrealistically well, there would be no contest.
