People die. They still do. They probably always will.

Survival of the fittest. It's an excellent rule. It works in many different ways, along many different levels. It strengthens us as a species, and so long as we bloody well STOP trying to circumvent it's application across the board, it will continue to serve us well.

Every marginal human "saved" is another step towards the bottom of the barrel.


The question: Is humanity's prediliction for community effort and saving the weak leading towards the eventual downfall of the species, or is it the evolutionary gimmick that ensures the survival of the human race?

Q: Top or bottom?


In gay porn, abuse/power issues are handled alot better.

And gagging is generally recognized as not hot, 'cause most guys actually know what it feels like...

We should have a new rule where you only post interesting truth in response to a question.

As for horny during awkward situations... well, let's just say I have the hots for my caclulus professor, which makes going up to the board an adventure.

Q: What was the circumstance behind your best orgasm *ever*?

No, you "don't care" is a form of naïveté or abstination.

Your receptors are merely coarse range detectors, they detect one spectrum of wavelengths and register that as one color.

Considering that the wave nature of light is, insofar as we understand it, not quantized, you'd need an infinite number of receptors to see the infinite possibilities of light.

If we could see X-ray light we probably wouldn't be seeing very *much* of it, considering its high energy nature lends itself to causing cellular damage.

Continuing the 'Harry Potter' theme, there's also

Sean Biggerstaff

And in a completely different direction:

Joseph Gordon-Levitt

and

Justin Berfield

On sensory organs:
There are an infinite number of dominant wavelengths, so one would need an infinite number of receptors. And if there was a completely new sensory organ that perceived light without rods and cones, it would *still* need an infinite number of mechanisms to account for each possibility of light.

Also, what do you mean by "...that grass isn't really green and blood isn't really red..."? The *definition* of color is the wavelengths of light that are emitted/reflected from an object. Nothing has some sort of *intrinsic* color out on which we're missing.

On language:
The human language is the short-hand by which we can meaningfully comprehend the world, not the limitation. Again, even if words are a *coarse* form of parsing information that neglects the infinity of variation of light, the information *lost* by this coarse parsing is insignificant to the information *gained* by our ability to talk about color in discrete amounts.

Also, english does have a color for light blue: cerulean, cyan, teal, cornflower, aquamarine, or turquoise. English is one of the most *rich* languages in the world, mostly because the English were notorious pirates and imperialists and stole words from across the globe.

On stars:
Indeed, there is no star so *specific* in its radiation that it completely leaves out or adds certain wavelengths of electromagnetic radiation.

Also, even if there were stars that did that, why in all Creation would humans have devoloped the capacity to sense these extant bits of light?

What ||bass is forgetting is that visual (and audio) acuity towards frequencies decreases as one gets older; his listed number is but an average value.

In a similar vein click!

Well, obviously color, defined as "the interpretation of wavelengths by the eye" can only exist if there are, well, eyes. I'm still not quite so sure why that's profound. It's sort of like saying that speech, defined as "the interpretation of sound by the brain" only exists if we have brains...

As for the nomenclature of color:

" (Crayola's teal is different from a paint manufacturer's teal is different from a cell phone skin's teal is different from teal as defined in html, etc.)"

That's true of even red, blue, and green. Not everyone thinks of blue as 0000FF, they recognize a range of light in that spectrum as blue.

Also, at some point in the development of language and the history of the English, it must've been important to distinguish between something that is red and something that is pink as opposed to the difference between something that is vertegris and something that is olive.

"Of course, you can't exactly prove that until a human stands on the surface of another planet in another solar system with his pack of Crayolas and draws a picture, noting discrepencies between what he sees when he draws, and the names of the crayons he's using."

Under what possible conditions would *added* color exist, and why in all Creation would we have the ability to perceive this added content?

The modern western male concept of physical appeal is based a modicum of class and restraint. A man is handsome in his formal wear, for example, not because of any gaudy colors or daring cuts but simply because of the exquisiteness of the suit's tailoring.

Back in the olden days, though, the idea of male physical appeal was more crude and vulgar and ostentatious, and the lower-class you were the more blatant it became.

A similar modern parallel between class and clothing would be the rather unfortunate phenomenon of "bling" and the excesses thereof.

"All About Eve"

Really, what else needs to be said? It's a movie that gets better the second time you watch it.

Not to mention it has Bette Davis.

Pansy Division - "He Whipped My Ass in Tennis, Then I Fucked His Ass in Bed"

It's a very cheery little punk/queercore song with a definite Nashville feel which is pulled off quite well.

And to think, until about yesterday I had never even *heard* of Pansy Division.

<3 Pansy Division.

Oh yeah, I love it when a guy squirts his...

Oh, wait, you probably mean girls. Well, I don't share *that* particular fetish, no.

Q: What were you thinking about the last time you masturbated?

what does OMG!YaoiFangirlTeeheeKawaiiiii! mean???

but yeah I thought the movie was pretty good. I think it could have been a bit shorter though and focused more on their relationship and less on their relationships with their wives.


Jack and Ennis probably wished they could focus more on their relationship and less on their wives as well...

To be fair, it's like that with any field... like, if I say "I like rap" you'll all get images of Eminem and 50 cent dancing in your heads, while I'm more inclined towards, say, MC Solaar.

Or if I express my love for opera, lots of you will go "Oh, fat viking ladies?", which is really only *one* opera (although, mind you, it is a six hour one...)

There are alot of scenic pans, but they aren't as bad as, say, Lawrence of Arabia.
