[QUOTE="JamesonCourage, post: 6000460, member: 6668292"] Oh, sure, we could. I mean, the discussions don't normally work that way. They usually say "it's the same thing; you should feel warmer." Cool. Thing is, I don't. Why is that? I don't know. I've done it since I was a small child, so maybe I've grown accustomed to it. Maybe it's because I lived in my car (voluntarily) for three years, and in that time, the temp could be up to 118 degrees outside (and much hotter inside), and I'd sleep in the car [I]with a blanket[/I]. I don't know why it is that way, but it is. Use all the science you want; I'm still not going to [I]feel[/I] any hotter at the end of those tests before or after the blanket is added. I know, it's like people have different views or takes on things. Ridiculous ;) Sure, yeah. That could be it. Of course, the thing that matters to me, when we're discussing how hot it is to me, is how I actually feel. Sure, say that "your body is warmer" if you want to. At the end of the day, I don't [I]feel[/I] any warmer. So, when you're trying to convince me that I should [I]feel[/I] differently, or that it makes no sense to feel the way I do, it's only so much noise. Now, I get why other people won't feel the same way. I get that preference plays into it. I get the logic behind their statements. But, it comes down to preference. Oh course, this is all a tangent from me butting back into this conversation. I was trying to point out that people were attacking each other for things the other side never said. And I just want that repeated one more time, because that's really the point I was making. Yes, and when it's properly qualified (as a personal experience), then they're right. Sorry, man. You don't get or accept their reasoning. I get that. I get why it'd be hard for you to accept, too. I have a blanket covering me when I shouldn't. It makes no sense to you. The thing is, when we're talking about "what makes you feel warmer" (or the type of mechanics make you feel a certain way), all I can do is present what does it to me, and the reasoning as to why that is. Why does corn taste [I]delicious[/I] (used to be my favorite food as a kid) but chocolate is unappealing (at absolute best)? I don't know. It just is. Does this line up with most people? Probably not. Preference, man. I can try to explain it, but it's preference. Bang your head against that all you want, but really, what do you expect me to say? Maybe a blanket actually [I]does[/I] make me feel warmer when it's hot outside? Maybe it should? Maybe it does to most? I can see the second, and I do say the third, but I'm not going to say the first. It's simply untrue. As always, play what you like :) [/QUOTE]
