ok ive passed out from being too hot before, that was when i was a kid tho... so yea im pretty sure i would die faster from being hot then being cold.
Lets see i used to live in Russia and um...during the winter it can be anywhere from 0C to - 40C. Here's a little something about local government. They dont like to turn on the heat for as long as they can get away with it. I remember one time they turned the heat on in Ferbuary... and no you dont have your own personal fireplaces in an apartment building its not like it is here. Have you actually seen frost on your walls when you have up? or how about ice in your sink/bathroom? i have, plenty of times. Also when i was a kid i tryed to get sick so i can skip school - well guess what? sleeping with open windows during the russian winters i didnt get sick even once. All it did to me was made me oblivious to cold. I can care less how cold it is outside cuz i know my body will adopt in less then 5 minutes.

I have the same constant "argument" with my mom that im having with you right now. She's always cold, she needs the heat, she even gets cold when its 80F + out (its beyond me why)... I, on the other hand can wear a tshirt when its -10C out and it feels normal to me. So i guess when the winter time comes around ill switch into your mode and keep telling everyone to turn off the heater cuz, well one of us (me) can take the cold pretty easily, and the rest shouldnt waste energy. sounds about right?

edit* and yes i could go all winter (especially here in US) without heat and survive.
