Flame Warriors should be required reading for all users before participating in any online forum.
I think a guide to spelling and grammar may be more immediately useful. I'm really getting tired of seeing horribly misspelled words on forums that actually have a spell check feature. (Makaronee? Really? You think so?)
Hey, Ben, some of us may have just taken biology courses more recently than freshman year in high school, years and years ago.
/e.g., me (biology minor) //not that you have to believe that either. Anyway, even for those who looked it up, 'tis better to enlighten oneself than to wallow in self-righteous ignorance.
This slut is supposed to be a role model for our kids!
Be a role model for your kids yourself.
I'm not old by any stretch of the imagination and I did NOT grow up gawking at celebrities and dreaming of being like them. The most admirable people in this world, the ones who should be looked up to, are probably never going to be asked to pose in a sexually-provocative pose. (And yes, the covering makes a difference. Sheet > bikini, but has a whole different set of connotations. Bikini = bra/panty set coverage-wise, but you aren't allowed out in the latter. And no, most kids won't get the implication, or care if they did.)
Anyway, this is a celebrity famous for family connections and entertainment frippery. Anything the average person knows about her is based on the public image of her that was crafted by her handlers and a corporation, not her actual person. A stranger famous for prancing around, looking pretty, and singing wouldn't scream "role model" to me no matter how she was photographed.
And I thought I was just spending too much time online when my first thought was in praise of precise taxonomy that could recognize this as a lizard and not a snake as other wits would assume.
There's more to distinguish the two than just legs. Eyelids and ears, for instances. Snakes don't have them.
And just yesterday I saw a biopic about Gene Tierney having a retarded, deaf, half-blind daughter because she was exposed to German measles during her pregnancy.
Worrisome things. Good thing abnormalities still aren't especially common.
