Instead of answering the question, you attack the question...you'd make a great politician.
Will you be able to understand the similie if I change the example to a guy who picks his nose and sticks it in his hair instead of using hair gel? Or, a girl gets a fake beard tatoo'd on her face? etc etc
he/she feels cornered, runs to sophismas or goes personal instead
of aiming the fact.
Originally posted by uzlessPalynka made a good point on this one, so I won't make the same. Ok, I
stop pretending that "judging someone" is a bad thing. It's a criticism that is an overused, misplaced misnomer that people use as an excuse to mask their own personal deviances. "don't judge me" is a joke.
If a person says to you, "I like to rape people, care to have a drink with me?", are you going to then say to yourself, "well, i'm not supposed to ju ...[text shortened]... said earlier, If people want to swim in the shallow end, I say let em.
will. How is judging someone based on their looks in any way similar to
judging someone based on their actions?
The first is superficial and not very useful (despite your amusing water
analogy) and the other is quite important.

And now the donkey speaks about ears, lol.
If you would really understand social sciences, you should now that
critic analysis is a fundamental aprt of how institutions can change,
but asserting that individuals are capable of consciously changing
them is naive, to say the least.
That's why institutionalism is such an interesting research area. If

'Let's all be free' is not a coca-cola commercial, it's the single most important thing in society. Recognizing fundamental rights is what I've been talking all along. Maybe stocken is a better writer in English than I am, maybe your predisposition to read what he writes is different (when compared to mine) but while we've basically been saying the same thing, you agree with him and keep insulting me as if that made you right. Coherence?

Why do we try to look good (whatever our idea about looking good is) at
all? The fact is, that looks matter. Not just because media tells us so,
but because we all react (whether we realise it or not) to the way people
around us look. It's not necessarily due to what we're imprinted by
media. I think the largest influence on what we like and not is t ...[text shortened]... a barbie,

It's quite another to have some cut you open with a knife, spread apart your skin and muscle tissue, inject 2 bags of silicone into your body, take a needle and stitch you back up. Your body is then bruised for a few weeks and you take medication to prevent infections. Then, as the years go buy you risk the silicone leaking from the bag leaving you with a whole host of medical illnesses, including sterilization and cancer.
How can you not ask yourself why this person would do this to themself?
Originally posted by SeitseYou weren't raising any questions, you were being affirmative about the reasons why people do breast implants. You keep harping on looking things from several angles but you're the one painting behaviours in black and white. Again, coherence is key.
Try to understand this, Palinka, please:
Questions are [b]not evil by themselves. Actually, they are
the core of human knowledge and development.
Repeat the latter sentence 100 times.[/b]
I'm confused. I support Seitse in parts and Palynka in parts. Man, I need
a drink and some time to think about this, because clearly, there's more
to the subject than I thought.
Now, if you'll all excuse me, I'll just go have a drink. Now, which breasts
to choose? The large, filled ones or the flat, dangling ones? Hmmm.
Tough choice. If I choose the large ones, and they turn out to be plastic,
that'd be a major disappointment (not to mention politically incorrect),
possibly affecting my future opinions on big tits. However, if I choose the
flat ones, with at least some contents, and then, from the corner of my
eyes, I see milk dripping from the large ones I'll be mighty angry at
myself for judging them so easily. Mmmmmm... oh, to hell with it. I'll
just have a glass of vodka instead. 🙁 Thanks a lot people! 😠

avoid doing a cosntructive criticism.
When your beliefs in freedom (the same I have) are NOT sided by
a critical analysis, then it is just repeating what the slogans tell you.

Man, seriously, humankind will not advance if people like you keep
saying there are "forbidden questions".
I think uzless already did a pretty good point in this matter.
