RE: BEAUTIFUL WOMEN MARRY LESS ?

Love your new pics, Mindful!

RE: BEAUTIFUL WOMEN MARRY LESS ?

That's actually a pretty attractive bag, Zel...

RE: BEAUTIFUL WOMEN MARRY LESS ?

Thanks for the reassurance, Mindful! That's what every guy wants to hear...

RE: I went to the doctor yesterday...

I hope the surgery does the trick, Serenity!

RE: BEAUTIFUL WOMEN MARRY LESS ?

Thanks, Mindful. Pretty damn fascinating. It sure explains what I call the "South Dakota Phenomenon" - which often seems to pair babes with average-looking guys.

I'd still like to see the statistics on equal-looking couples (good-looking or not), which this article only mentions in passing...

RE: BEAUTIFUL WOMEN MARRY LESS ?

Hmmmmmmmm.......

RE: Are age and wisdom synonymous?

You may be the wisest child I know, Dorielle. (I almost wrote "wildest" child :-)

RE: Are age and wisdom synonymous?

That was Socrates' position (among others). A favorite philosopher of mine...

RE: Are age and wisdom synonymous?

Excellent, Riya! And matched by the beauty of your current pic, coincidentally enough...

RE: ok im not kidding!

Unfortunately, in a follow-up article, I read that one of his sons used dynamite to free up a stuck window...

RE: These Forums are entertaining and all BUT???

That's what I was going to suggest, Dana.

RE: Are age and wisdom synonymous?

Detente, I'd say that there is only a marginal correspondence between age and wisdom (except in my case, of course).

Wisdom is basically a function of one's intellectual abilities and one's desire to understand. If you don't have those things, you'll just be spinning your mental wheels into dotage and will likely end up with merely a lot of wrinkles and an incessant hankering for cheap beer.

RE: Should we continue with the olympic games in China?

I'm sympathetic, Uli, but I'm afraid I see a bit of a problem here.

True, China has a miserable human rights record, is heavily into person/thought-control, and is presently unrightfully dispossessing countless individuals in its own version of the US' "urban renewal" for The Games.

However...if we boycott China for these things, then what about the United States, since its government has murdered hundreds of thousands of civilians, illegally tortured and imprisoned individuals, and has sponsored state terrorism around the world?

Canada materially participates in the Iraq war, and if we regard that war as immoral (even in part), then surely we should consider boycotting Canada?

England, with its vastly upgraded Orwellian Surveillance State, probably should be boycotted as well. Germany has its own version of thought-control which in my view should be subject to protest.

What I'm getting at is that while western governments are by and large superior to non-democracies/totalitarian states, we are not really in a good position to morally posture - particularly the US, which is probably the foremost purveyor of hegemonic violence in the world at present.

So, I say if we boycott China, we should also consider some form of protest against the many rights-violating acts of Western governments.

RE: What we're listening to just now.

The sounds of one brain hemisphere clapping?

Imogen Heap, Come Here Boy.

RE: What are some of womens criterias in meeting a guy?

Hey, Alison!

RE: love or friendship

In general, romantic love is far more transitory. That doesn't exhaust the possibilities of love, of course - one can love someone as a friend, for instance.

RE: What are some of womens criterias in meeting a guy?

Some girls place a heavy emphasis on knowing the proper use of plural and possessive forms...

RE: How about kidnapping bush&trying him4War crimes in iran/venezuela/cuba/china Better still in russia?

Lovebird, you obviously haven't read Bush and Cheney's new book, "Our Story," wherein he outlines why it is only reasonable and just that America may take whatever actions it deems appropriate in protecting its various interests.

An especially good explanation for this doctrine is provided in the chapter titled: "Amerika uber alles."

RE: How To Understand An OP

What a cute chick, Joanie!

RE: Dedicated to V;D and A because I read your posts

I loved that last line, D!

RE: Using the Power of the Sun to Improve Eyesight and Boost Immunity

Eye exercises of this type work, in my experience. I've done the reverse, making myself focus on smaller and smaller print to counter my increasing farsightedness. I actually have better near vision now than I did years ago.

Also, Vit C seems to have a beneficial effect on the eyes (which contain a large amount of the stuff).

Good point about the sun's benefits, Healthy. The latest health news suggests that slathering up with sunscreen all the time isn't the healthiest option.

RE: God exists???

A good analogy...for those who haven't passed Logic 101.

RE: Some peace of mind

I'll try that next time, D...

RE: Attractive, beautiful/handsome, or passable ?

RE: Attractive, beautiful/handsome, or passable ?

I think I'm a decent-looking guy. Some women seem to agree, others don't. C'est la vie.

RE: two verses

I really enjoyed the part starting with "The best foods...."

Of course, I have so many boots I rarely wear the same one more than once.

RE: One of the best looking guys on here has to be

Totally!

RE: One Last Shot?? Wadda Ya Think??

I'd say at least two last shots, Alison. Your presence brightens this place up immensely.

Constructive criticism: your leaving her would be a horribly selfish and neglectful thing to do to your loyal fans here.

RE: What is something about you?

RE: Something tells me....

True, but sometimes it is necessary to indulge in "tough love" with bad girls, Dana.
