On online relationships.
I value touch, I wouldn't want to do that again like I did before. But at the tiem, those relationships were very meaningful and important to me, and those memories continue to influence my life.

Obviously, subjective adjectives like "rediculous," are subject to opinion in degree. Perhaps "rediculous" was a bad term to use, or perhaps I didn't explain well enough my standing point.
Very bad, given that it's not a word.

I certainly didn't mean to offend anyone, and I hope that you didn't take it that way.
Which is why I warned you to be aware of you environment.

Obviously, you're talking to real person on the other side of the computer, so you get real life responses. However, you can't learn the same things from a non-physical and in-person relationship that you can with an online one. That isn't to say you can't learn ANYTHING, but it's still limited.
All relationships are limited by various contexts and the people involved. I really don't think there are many emotional lessons you can learn from an offline relationship you can't learn from an online one.
Excluding touch, the ONLY real limit to online relationships is that they can't persist forever in that state. However, someone who only enters into a relationship when expecting it to last for ever will be disappointed sorely and often.

I don't think online relationships are bad at all, but in the end real life ones are much more fulfilling.
Depends on your needs. I think online relationships can be completely fulfilling if they provide what the participants need.

When people's opinions cannot be justified, they should change them for their own good.

People have the right to justifiable opinions. When people's opinions cannot be justified, they should change them for their own good.
I'm justified my point(s) quite thoroughly, actually.
When? it looked to me like you just stated them over and over.

And I don't feel attacked when people disagree, I feel attacked when people insult me.

based on the quotation marks, it looks more like an allusion than an insult to me.
JoVo's wit tends to get ahead of his brain at times...

I hate when actors are the hottness and remind me of relatives. It sucks all the hotness out of them for me. Then other people are all, I'd like to jump on his body, and I'm all. Ugh, he reminds me of my cousin, and I don't think of my cousin in that way.
Exactly. Hence I keep Patrick Stewart in another category, far removed from the attractive group. Love how that near-universal incest taboo is so entrenched.
Meh. I'd screw my male cousins. of course one isn't really my cousin, he's my uncle's stepson, and I'm adopted so I'm not related to either of them by blood. I was annoyed that everyone who heard I met my gay cousin asked if we'd had sex, though. Is that what people think? I'm all about sex?
