In reply to: Vetrinus Taleshire 's message, "I do, of course, blame the degrade of the human being (as a species, now) solely on the mating habits of the teenage mind, particularly the females." on 23:30:58 08/02/03 Sat

Hi. My name is Jessa. I am one of those teenage females you speak of, and I have some words for you.

First of all...excuse me, but I know for a fact that while in their teenage years, most males are attracted to the prettiest, blondest girl with the biggest boobs and the least trace of a personality. Why? Because generally girls like that are easy. Granted, in their defense, I have met guys and girls that break this mold.

While this answer functions, it is also fundementally flawed, thus created the otherwise contradictory 'genetic anomaly', that if left unchecked might threaten the species at large. The flaw is inherent in EVERY human being to pamper glamour. The beautiful are given wealth and power, and an easy life. The hideous are thrown to the wayside. Ergo, the pampered, easy-living, weak genes will be passed on, and hard-working, adaptive genes will not.

Two words: Bill Gates. Seen him? I'm pretty sure that there is nothing attractive about that man besides his oodles of cash.

Oh, examples....let's see...I'll bet you've all seen "American Pie" and its rediculous sequel. Nope, sure haven't.Have you seen the Green Mile?Yup. I'll bet you've watched Scary Movie and its pitiful conclusion...have you read Dante's Inferno? No and yes. Or the Lord of the Rings trilogy? Edgar Allen Poe's the Cask of Amontillado? How about The Canterbury Tales by Chaucer? Plato's Allegory of the Cave? Romeo and Juliet? How about The Meditations, by Marcus Aurilius? Yes, on all accounts. Who was he? Oh, just an emporer of Rome, that's all.

Sorry to disappoint you, but don't go around thinking that the human race is headed for disaster because there is an over abundance of pretty people. Oh, and not all pretty people are stupid and lazy. In fact, I'm willing to bet that a majority of the 'pretty people' ARE hardworking, smart individuals. To think other wise shows that you obviously don't get out much.

You missed the point. I'm not at all surprised. The human race isn't headed for disaster because of an abundance of pretty people...it's going that way because it's pathetic. (NT) -- Vetrinus Taleshire, 22:53:55 08/04/03 Mon
Some interjections....while I don't support Vetrinus, I disagree with you... -- Pendragon, 22:59:47 08/04/03 Mon
- ah, that is why I said most males...I'm quite aware that there are some that are not so shallow. (NT) -- Jessa, 13:34:33 08/05/03 Tue
