BEAUTIFUL WOMEN NEW RULES IN FIRST POST (NSFW) UPDATED RULES
Time

Mark’s Down On Your Syntax said:

This thread is called "Beautiful Women" not "Sexy Pieces of Ass I Wanna Tap".

It could be about beautiful animals or flowers or clothes or anything! It’s people sharing their opinions on what they find attractive. Honesty, have you been around the Internet, YHWX? The fact that everybody here just posts a picture and pays a compliment in a respectful way says a lot about the general character of the people we have here.

There’s far worse places on the net (which you can easily find) to start asserting yourself against what you think you’re seeing here.

People like things that they find attractive. You like things that you find attractive too. It’s perfectly okay for you to not advertise or share your tastes regarding other human beings but it’s very rude and, dare I say, self-righteous, to repeat a contrary opinion that wasn’t asked for in this thread over and over.

There is no difference between a thread where we express a preference for a movie and a thread where we express a preference for a lady. There just isn’t!

I like you, YHWX, you have a good sense of humour and you’re clearly intelligent. I hope you stick around on this site, because heaven knows we need people like you here, but I wish you’d use a bit more tact sometimes.

All said with a happy face though, it just doesn’t sit well with me when I see people picking the wrong fight 😃

Don’t put byname in all caps. 😉

Some back of the envelope calculations:

I wanted to figure out how much Frink would get paid if he were actually paid every time he posts. He has said that he gets 5¢ every time he posts. Now he has said that he gets 15¢ for every link.

Frink has posted, as of June 24 at 8:05 PM, 46181 posts. I selected a random sample of 624 Frink posts to figure out that 8% of Frink posts have links. So, in total, that’s 3695 Frink posts that have links. These would make them cost 20 cents (5 cents per post + 15 cent link fee). So, Frink has made $739 for posts with links. Frink has made $2142.50 for posts without links, which brings to a total amount of $2863.5. That is $409 per each year that Frink has been on this forum.

What exactly is “unhealthy lifestyle”? For an unfavourable variation/specimen it can simply be being born and living as even the mild environmental conditions will cause unsustainable damage. On the other hand, a strong specimen can withstand extreme environmental conditions without any long-term damage. As I said, statistics is completely useless here.

A lifestyle that has a high correlation to a disease in otherwise healthy individuals. For example smoking, excessive alcohol consumption, shooting heroin, being anorexic, being morbidly obese.
If you tell people it’s ok to smoke since you know that one guy who lived 100 years while being a heavy smoker, people following that advice will statistically more often die of lung cancer than people who don’t smoke.

Cogent. Great post.

They can increase a chance to become unhealthy, but it doesn’t make you automatically unhealthy as idiots tried to claim.

Even if an individual person is healthy under these circumstances, it’s still an unhealthy lifestyle and idolizing such a person also promotes this lifestyle, which will lead to other people becoming unhealthy due to the statistically proven correlation of this lifestyle and various diseases.

I think that statistics are useful here. Statistics are useful in telling the likelihood that a smoker may get lung cancer, so why not in this case?
