OB1, read my post again, then tell me EXACTLY why you completely misread me. I want YOU to do it this time.

Okay fine...

.....
STOP MISREADING ME!
...
Okay look, I made a comment off the side about this and you actually think it represents something about ME? It wasn't really all that serious! Yeesh, all I said was "okay Weltall, you have GOT to get rid of that". I didn't say "I am offended!" because I wasn't, but come on!
Oh and, can I help it if the human form, gender regardless, disgusts me the way it disgusts a serial killer? ... Um... maybe I said too much... But yeah, evolution does take some mistaken paths considering the original reasons an organism would find a feature attractive are because it really does mean superior survival abilities, but then that part grows to the point of actually HINDERING survival, but attraction still exists. It's a defect in the evolutionary method that tends to end up pretty badly if it goes out of control... Humans have NO features that went out of control like that though, so um, I'm not sure why I said that.
OB1, things are so black and white with you sometimes. Can't I believe two completely contradictory things AT ONCE without you being a baby about it?
....
But anyway yeah, I use a ruler to draw lines. Since, well, a line HAS to be straight or it's not a line. ... I'm not an art student at all... Red Green Blue! THOSE are the primary colors, and black is the ABSENSE of all color! Ahahahaha! I annoy art students with stuff like that!
Anyway yeah, when ABF said it was a bit "out of taste" that's the thing I agreed with. Oh, and yes I think curse words are bad form too. They are rude for one reason and one reason only, because society SAYS they are. But you know what? THAT'S A PERFECTLY GOOD WAY TO DEFINE WHAT IS AND IS NOT RUDE! In fact, it's the ONLY way. Those words have NO meaning to me, I'm not offended at all when people say them to me, because I'm a nerd, but I avoid them because it's good manners. You know, tact and grace aren't BAD qualities, they are signs you care about whether or not you are offending other people. Not caring what others think being a good quality applies to extreme moral situations, but not good manners, I mean yeesh... generally you SHOULD care what other people think.
But I lost track here... Anyway, point is, "a boner is not a crime" and all, but there's a little thing called tact. I was under the assumption that Weltall posted that to "challenge the way we view the world" or just to "point out hipocracy" or something. And that, well, that's not exactly tasteful use of something like that. "Shock value" is an oxymoron, generally because of how insulting it is to assume no one but the people doing the stunt have ever thought outside the box before. If Weltall really did pick it for artistic reasons (is that that Hellen person you always go on about by any chance?), then well, eh, no big deal I guess...

"On two occasions, I have been asked [by members of Parliament], 'Pray, Mr. Babbage, if you put into the machine wrong figures, will the right answers come out?' I am not able to rightly apprehend the kind of confusion of ideas that could provoke such a question." ~ Charles Babbage (1791-1871)
