Okay, I'm going to say this one last time: your topic had material that belonged in this thread. End of story.

Let it go. I'm not trying to be a prick. Your topic had material that went in this thread.

A sustainable architecture award ceremony (with extremely lame hosts)/magic show turns into a dance off, with me as the main star (guy in blue jumper):

Ha! Craigslist's CEO is answering questions for a bunch of Wall Street types, and when they ask him how he plans to make more money off of Craigslist, he replies they don't.

http://dealbook.blogs.nytimes.com/2006/12/08/craigslist-meets-the-capitalists/?8dpc

Imagine that! A company that puts the customers first, and profits second. Many of the Wall Street types in the room were beside themselves. They just couldn't wrap their heads around the idea of not milking a company to the last drop.

So now the pundits are calling him a communist, even though Craigslist is a major economic enabler and bears no relationship or similarity to communism. It's the only word they can think of.

Yeah, that is the greatest YTMND ever with Picard.

I'm always interested in how the media handles racism, since it always has to tread a seriously conservative and politically correct line. So what do you make of this:

Nearly everybody is a "racist" to some degree. Our society is too fixated on the issue for it to be otherwise. We live in a time and place where the color pink--a friggin' color--can be viewed as good or bad depending on the gender of the person expressing themselves with it. We live in a time and place where a handful of belly fat--especially on a young woman--makes a person unattractive, unhealthy, worthy of all ridicule and derision, and barely even human. We live in a time and place where you are considered to be mentally ill if you do not believe that some religious carpenter rose from the dead two thousand years ago and ascended up out of a cave in the Middle East on his way to becoming supreme ruler of the universe.

Racism is par for the course. My advice? Try to think about it differently. Look for the day when you can be walking alone at night and have an identical reaction by crossing paths with a single white woman versus a group of black men.

If nothing else, should you be unable to control your prejudiced thinking, at least control your behaviors.

The anorexia mention makes me curious. Studies have shown that men on average prefer more well-rounded women, and I would have to agree with that assessment. Yet this image of the stick figure perpetuates itself in Hollywood and modeling. I'm wondering how, if the masses don't support it, this image can persist. I guess it's the industry's fault.

It persists because these girls are learning about what guys want through magazines that are a part of the Hollywood/modeling culture, and not through interaction with, say, guys.

Same for lots of guys.
People are using far to many images from the media instead of building/experience their own, but hey, humans are lazy.
