*The shaking makes its way to the rest of my body and I fall over, unconscious and convulsing*

<Snipped quote by Audacious>

It’s certainly an extreme reaction. But whether a culture’s values are primitive or advanced is a subjective qualification.

<Snipped quote by Legend>

I’ll say I think it’s backwards. Non productive and extreme.

Transplanted onto familiar societies. There are often supporting structures in place to explain, if not justify otherwise wild attributes of societies.

<Snipped quote by Legend>

It’s common when vacationing to want to set aside time in the future to go back again.

<Snipped quote by Audacious>

When the location is pleasant, I consider it the best of both worlds. Not all of them are so fortunate.

<Snipped quote by Legend>

Not every place is created equal, unfortunately.

<Snipped quote by Galvanize>

Are you absolutely certain? This was just for fun, and not to be rude, but you’re looking a bit worse for wear now.

*Stops moving and goes limp, breathing in a short, deep rhythm*

<Snipped quote by Host>

*Waits*

<Snipped quote by Codify>

*Several minutes later, starts to stir*
