Why are we so plastic?

Sure, I will not hold that against you. You are just a product of the media, of our current society. I do not blame you for that.

I do not like you more or less if you have photographs of yourself in your gallery. However, I would respect it if you have the guts to delete them.

 

Yeah, but in the end our likes and dislikes are the pettiest things about us. :leaving:

P.S. Not that there is anything wrong with petty things.

 

it takes guts to delete pictures off an internet board?
wow...man...amazing

 

beautiful people can be intelligent

vanity by definition is excessive pride in or admiration of one's own appearance or achievement
you're so adamant in your perception of a higher intellect in itself is vanity

pride is something i dislike in all aspects

being proud of your intellect is disgusting, more so than any 14 yr old girl wanting to be a super model

 

birdy, I believe Ang is a product of two sexually active individuals

love you praxis

 

It's human nature to be concerned with looks. The philosopher Schopenhauer claimed nature doesn’t give a shit about love, that sexual attraction is merely a push towards people who can, on account of their imperfections, cancel out our own (a large nose combined with a button nose promises a perfect nose). So short women fall in love with tall men, but tall men rarely fall for tall women in the fear producing giants, and feminine men will often be drawn to boyish women with short hair. Thus, the nearness we replicate the ideal, the closer to an ideal mate we can attract. Vanity is about procreation and sex, and it ain't going away anytime soon no matter how much it may disgust you.

 

No, very good people are making themselves feel very bad, because they take my critic personally.
Everyone can have a photograph of themselves in their gallery. Ofcourse they can. It is just a contribution to a world I do not want to be part of. A superficial, plastic world.

That's all.

 

*my post was not aimed just at you bird

 

that was awe inspiring

 

Then delete yours right now if you tell me such big words.
I bet you don't even have the guts.

 

ooh thanks! Totally the psychological bit I was referring to in my original post here (the stuff I said I am sure I know nothing about, but know it is there).

 

Love you too. Including your looks.

 

Why thank you. After all, my looks are a part of me just as my insides are.

 

Exactly. I hope the whole of RT will not turn against you now that you said that.

 

I'm trying to delete my pic from my gallery. Can't figure out how to do it. I must be a peanut-brained, vain dude.

 

Correct. Your booty and your noodle.

 

that's true. I usually like people who like the same the same things as me and who like me.

 

omg praxis. dont do that. I love when people have galleries. I love to know who I am speaking to. Dont delete your photos because of this thread, thats weird. You put it up for a reason! Thats your reason.

 

And bird, I know you will refrain from looking in our galleries, or commenting on anyones photos cause I know you dont want to be a part of our superficial world.

 

give me an example of someone here who takes excessive pride in how they look. all you did was generalize people who have photos up. that does not mean they are taking excessive pride in anything.
