This video does not exist.

Money, dear boy. Today's society is a bit rotten like that, and it reflects on the Internet.

Yeah but I can't even watch the video at a decent quality without add block

I like sunlight.
Why everyone be hatin' on the Sun?

Blindness
UV Degradation
Heat
Global Warming
Makes it easier for predators to spot you.
Skin Damage
Monitor Glare

Still better than being freezing cold.

Sure... if that is what they used.

You're just reinforcing my point!
If it's cold enough to make Winter here look warm by comparison, it's not a place for (sane) people to live!

Australia is a big place. There are some really cold places. Though the record is only -23 degrees celcius.

List of coldest cities in Australia, by maximum mean yearly temperature:
http://www.bonzle.com/c/a?a=f&sc=cold&cmd=sp
That's 50 towns and cities spanning 3 states of Australia, which are the same or not much warmer than Moscow. These places have similar average temperatures to Moscow, but don't vary as much with ups and downs. Which basically means they're consistently cold places. Most of these places don't even hit 20 degrees on a midsummers day.

As a Canadian... this post is hilarious.

Yep really cold over there with your record -23 degrees celcius weather.

We have been having unseasonably warm winters here lately and we still manage to hit that mark.

The temperature over here is just so god damn random. Up down up down down down up down. The wind is also very strong a lot of the time.

I thought I've seen it all...

I've seen people get knocked out by blows to the back of the head and chops to the neck... even punches to the Solar Plexus.

I mean these all caaaan work, though chance that you will have serious injury is pretty high.

But this is the first time I have ever seen someone knocked out by a baseball bat to the spine.

Thanks weird Korean Liar game.

Yet, somehow, the two are wholly different mechanically.

Monks aren't even "exemplification of their alignment". It's just fluff. It's like saying Bards are the same as paladins because they are the exemplification of the nonlawful alignment.

I've always thought it's funny that barbarians and bards can't be lawful, but rogues can.  A lawful character can sneak attack, but never become enraged or (learn to) sing.  The rage doesn't even cause loss of control or tactics, just inability to focus on advanced skills or spellcasting.  there's a perfectly reasonable exalted barbarian prestige class.

It's also cute that bards can rather uniquely become lawful without losing any of their abilities (barbarians lose the ability to rage).  They just can't gain more bard levels unless they're currently a free or neutral spirit.  (Oh weird, monks are the same way actually)

Anyway there certainly are similarities between monk and paladin.  Both are primarily melee characters who gain disease immunity, limited healing ability, and some extra striking abilities.  They are even likely to be trained by similar organizations, monasteries vs holy orders.  Their abilities both benefit from strength and wisdom (though paladins focus more on charisma probably).

But there's a world of difference, too.  Monk abilities don't help others like paladin ones do.  They basically can't wear armor, don't get a mount, don't really get spellcasting, almost have to fight unarmed...  Very different. 

Monks don't even have a code of behavior, which I guess was probably the jerk's misconception.  A lawful character is certainly allowed to break laws, they just need to show a clear preference for order in general.  The morality system doesn't require absolute adherence... Except for paladins, who aren't even allowed to associate with people who anyone who "consistently offends their moral code"...  Hence their reputation for triggering party fights, sadly, since the rules require them to hold *everybody* to their morality system (though with leniency).

I don't even live in the northern hemisphere. Victoria, Australia here. The weather is the wooooooooorst. Well, nearly.

Hey now, that latter one is explicitly untrue. There's no alignment restriction on perform ranks :V

... also, for some really gorram weird reason, apparently pathfinder monks have perform as a class skill? Huh. I guess you could conceivably dual class monk/bard? Level one to whatever point you want and then swap over to the other. I'm not sure why you would, but...

E: Then again, the mental image of a critter that sings about how it's punching the shit out of you is pretty amusing. I could see playing that for the lulz.
