Anyway, just thought it was a funny article:

edit: I wonder what they say about people who have sex daily?

You're getting awfully defensive about all this. Are you really that lonely?Kracus wrote:Laugh it up fucknuts it's been done to death. Look at religion, back in the day the church decided who married who and a lot of shit basicly designed to make a population couple. Look at Marriage ffs, it's a whole religious fucking ceremony based on 2 people being united. They place such a huge importance on it (and don't get me wrong it IS important) for the majority of the population to couple and fuck, have 1.5 kids and fuck off.
It's not fucking secret that they still do today, it's the only way a country can survive! It is important but shit like this is still bullshit. People are as happy as they allow themselves to be. If you beat yourself up and get depressed over challenges in life then that's your problem but this 100,000$ is equivalent to a good fuck a couple times a week is total bullshit, sorry.
What? He didn't even post in this thread, jerkhole. WTH are you babbling about?Freakaloin wrote:rofl@ns...dumbfuck..
Human nature dictates that if people want something, what they view and thier opinions will always be filtered through that -- a study on how much you should brush your teeth funded by Colgate is going to have a different result to an identical study funded by a research grant, and that's simply fact. The people doing the study obviously like money to some degree, and showing Colgate that they deliver usable results will get them the dough more than a one-off grant.Kracus wrote:I'm not saying this is a bad thing but I am saying sometimes, in order to accomplish a goal some people bend the truth a little.
Ah ha! very true. But to make a statement like happiness is worth x ammount of dollars is retarded, period. There's no ammount of money that can make you happy, it's all a state of mind. The reason I said that article is bs is this:glossy wrote:Human nature dictates that if people want something, what they view and thier opinions will always be filtered through that -- a study on how much you should brush your teeth funded by Colgate is going to have a different result to an identical study funded by a research grant, and that's simply fact.

There are heaps of examples of where the truth is 'bent' due to basic human nature bias that can't easily be avoided -- Corporations funded by people with an agenda will bias toward the agenda, the news/media will bias towards what's in thier 'best interest' in terms of the story subject, relaying stories of some hardcore lead pipe bashing you did will bias towards making you sound hardcore on the internet
