I'm not really going to attack you, Gaffer, because while I defend the logic behind society's inhibitions, I don't defend the inhibitions themselves. It's like saying "I don't like what you're saying, but I'll fight to the death for your right to say it." There's a connection there, but I'm too lazy to point it out. I'm the first person to say "Merry Christmas," because I hate all the PC "Happy Holidays" bullshit that they're flouting these days. If I want to say "Christ" or "Christmas," I'm going to say it goddamn it. A certain amount of cynicism is present in my posts to Adam, because I think that some of society's inhibitions are silly. But not all.
And of course, as soon as you venture into the realm of the feminine image and all these girls everywhere starving themselves half to death and layering makeup on their faces to try to look like someone out of fashion magazines, only a total doofus (enter Stinky) could really try to disagree with you there. It's a goddamn epidemic (and for those of you who want to argue this point, take a look at the number of cases of anorexia nervosa since the early 1950s. You'll see a trend.)
If you ask me, like Adam, why talking about this stuff makes people uncomfortable or snappish, then I'll give you a whole slew of reasons. If you ask me what I think of this, I'll tell you that it's because people are silly (as I just have). Your "question" (or point, as the case may be) isn't the same as Adam's, and there's nothing I want to refute in your argument.
