Topic: Is physical appearance so important?

hey, it's only one hunting accident away, man...

[Uncle Ernie]

I recently told a friend that I hope Iran would hurry up with that bomb- Kerry is gearing up to run again.  Between the fat Republicans who spend too much, the stoopid Dems who want to scratch but can't figure out where it itches, the Chinese/Indian economies, and Iran- this country is doomed.

74CB750- congrats to you too. Does that mean we can finally discuss in open your hair cut?!

Dusthawk- Myron Florin!!! Flaco Jiminez!!!  Have you got that semi-rare sampler tape (might be on CD now) named Polkacide?  Some great new-age/ punk/ grunge stuff.  I neeed to start looking again- mine got ruined in the flood 2 years ago.  I miss it.  You're NOT alone!  Lady of Spain forever!

Between the fast food/junk food industry and then the beauty/exercise industry they are over $15 billion annually. So one fattens you and the other slims you. As long as there is a steady supply of paying customers - the machine rolls on.

And yes, studies prove that a fix man/atteractive woman will be better recieved and believed than an overweight/unattractive person - just human nature. The pendulum swings too far when some of the above mentioned news anchors are good looking but complete mental vacuums and are spoon fed their opinions.

That pic was taken a long time ago, like 3 years.
Now I am almost bald, and , need i say:

AMERICA....F*^K YEAH!!!!!

sure we've got a few problems...who doesn't?
got a bad president? elect a new one in a couple of years. we have that luxury
spending too much on gas? ride your motorcycle, or buy a smaller car
big corporations (the man, whitey, etc...) getting you down? ( I myself struggle a lot with this one) think of it this way: without big corporations we wouldn't have 99% of the modern luxuries we enjoy every single day. from the computer you are on now, to your beloved honda, your coffee pot, refrigerator, etc... now, I'm not at all a big corporation kind of guy, BUT big business has helped our society become what it is today(thats both good and bad, in my opinion). sadly our society has changed from "do what you are good at/passionate about" to "figure out how much money you need to be comfortable and find a job to support that lifestyle". but theres not much we can do to change that, we as a a society are greedy, and that is a byproduct of our greed.

I get fed up with our society a lot. but at the same time, I love it so much. America is just America, and I'm damn proud to call it home.

You read my mind.  I was just humming that at work.  Catchy tune that pretty well sums up how I feel.


Don't play this if you're offended by language and nudity, or if you're at work, a public library, or if there's a nun standing next to you right now.  Or at least turn it down.

Being old, I take no notice of adverts and either form my own opinions or get word of mouth recommendations from friends such as we meet on this forum. I save lots of money that way.
I can never understand why we buy things just because some 'celebrity' or millionare, who only says it because they are well paid to say it, tells us to.

I bet it works for anybody regardless of his home country. But this thread was about physical appearance...

Are looks important. Take your pick for the weekend:

As much as Carmen is a hottie, I wouldn't rate her as any more believeable than MM, in fact, considerably less, I'm sure that there was never any rumours of a "casting couch" in the way he secured his employment, ha ha! Cheers, Terry.

I hate that.  Then again, if I was famous and had a captive audience I'd probably run my mouth too.  I just wouldn't wear fly-eye sunglasses while doing so.

[Vatch]

Don't really care for W, but I don't see how losing one of the Baldwins would make the US a lesser nation.
