Getting Bored of this Board . . .

@Gamer:

Angelina Jolie ain’t so bad either.  :wink: :-D

Can’t quite put my finger on it, but there’s something about Angelina that dulls up the shine on the apple a bit. She’d still get the “not being thrown out of bed for eating crackers” treatment, though.  8-)

@Jermofoot:

**** Catherine Zeta-Jones is the HOTTEST woman on the planet!  :-D

Ok, she is pretty hot, but she seems like a total b****, which turns me off.  And I think all the women U-505 named are attractive too, but I’d rather have a realistic girl - as in, one that’s not bathed in fame.  I think they are hotter and much cooler (usually).

Yes, but we were talking about the hottest women, not the most desireable. I believe that desireability is defined far more by what kind of person the woman is rather than physical beauty. It’s just bonus if they have a nice insert your favorite female body part here.

Still, it makes good fantasy material to think that the pictures of those famous women that you see aren’t airbrushed for flawlessness, they possess all of the qualities that you desire, and that a geek like me could charm their pants off if only I bumped into them as they were just happening to pass though backwoods Mississippi. They would have to put in that much effort to find me, too, because I’m waaaay too full of myself and lazy to be a stalker.  :-D

@Jennifer:

How many animals would go extinct if we, as a population, stopped raising them for food?

How nice…
That’s like saying that American Indians aren’t thanking us enough for deciding not to completely eliminate them.

When trapped in the wilderness, you are advised to eat wildlife, not plantlife.  Why is that?  Oh yea, meat has more calories pound for pound then plants and most meat won’t kill you in a horribly painful way.  Also, without meat, we would not have the brains we do.  Vegetarian animals are quite dimwitted.  Carnivores are generally more intelligent.

I’ve never heard this.
Also, it’s entirely possible to fuel your brain appropriately without meat.

Of course, in a pinch, you can survive on iceberg lettuce for a few weeks.  But you can survive for years and year and years on nothing but animals you kill.  Get hydration and nutrition from the carcases, as well as items usable as tools and protection from the elements.  Dunno, last time I checked, you couldn’t get that from a head of lettuce.

Since when were we talking about wilderness survival?
You can’t survive on animals only.  You simply can’t, Jenn, not for a lifetime anyway.  Just like you can’t get hydration from them, except, perhaps, drinking their pee.  And that’s only in an emergency and not to be sustained.  Otherwise you’d hear advice along the lines of “drink 64 ounces of water a day, or 8 ounces and a steak.”

Hotness to me involves more than just the physical.  Mannerisms, sense of humor, interests, etc., all attribute to hotness.  Physical attractiveness weighs in a lot more than those other things, but someone who is pretty yet stupid, stuck up, and bitchy is not hot all at all.

Still, it makes good fantasy material to think that the pictures of those famous women that you see aren’t airbrushed for flawlessness, they possess all of the qualities that you desire, and that a geek like me could charm their pants off if only I bumped into them as they were just happening to pass though backwoods Mississippi.

If we are talking about fantasies, then that’s a different ball game.  :-D

In Richmond, VA they are selling Tshirts that have “Ignorance Breeds Ignorance.  Neuter Michael Vick!” written on them!

He goes to court today.

Jermofoot brought back the part two Anti- france thread. Thats a silly thread. I admit it. we could start some fun in that. I still have alot of ammo from the last Anti- french crusade.

Ironically, and I kid you not, I just met with a (new) client who bears a very striking resemblance to Ms. Jolie.  Heck, I just called my buddy who referred her and thanked him!  Of course, on the not-so-hot side, she rambles on a bit, making conversation somewhat challenging.  But on the plus side, she was very good about looking you directly in the eyes and smiling, and for my money, a hot girl looking you in the eyes and smiling is (almost) as good as it gets!  :-D

OMG, I totally forgot Jessica Alba:  :-o

Well, we all know that Jermo never went through survival training!

Hydration from Animals: Drink their blood.  It’s also high in iron, yum!

You also can survive an entire lifetime on nothing but animal flesh.  You can survive on nothing but plant flesh, but you’ll suffer mentally, physically and bio-chemically due to improper nutrition.  Sorry, but there’s plenty of things you just cannot get from plants.  However, animals eat plants, thus, you get all the plant goodness from the flesh of the animal + the nutrition from what they turned that goodness into as well.

As for some animals not going extinct, it’s more then that.  Without humans we would have:

No Cows (like they can survive in the wild?)
No Chickens
No Pigs (hogs yes, pigs no)

Most fish would be gone.  We not only farm fish, but we create most the hybrids people like today like Striped Bass, etc.

That’s just the most obvious, most platant examples of wildlife that would not exist if we did not eat them.

You know Jermo I don’t think the Native Americans have thanked us enough for not wiping them out

@Gamer:

Is it just me, or has the discussion level really dropped off lately?  I normally blow off thread discussions that strike me as lame, but THERE AREN’T EVEN THAT MANY LAME THREAD DISCUSSIONS ANYMORE!!

Where is everyone?  Reading the last Potter book?  If so, they’re taking too long … I finished it last night.  :-D

So in the interest of jump-starting a few discussions, I offer these observations in no particular order.  Sound off on any of them you please:

**** Does anyone want to place an over/under bet on whether Lohan gets more or less jail time than Hilton?

**** Speaking of betting, I’d be willing to “bet” there’s more than one NBA ref. betting on the games . . .

**** Michael Vick should be locked in a room full of hungry pit bills, the bastard!

**** Ratatoille was actually a decent movie . . . for an animated feature.  :lol:

**** Speaking of movies, it is WAY to expensive to go the movies these days.  Can you get into and out of the theater for less than $50 bucks (or, in my case, $100)?  Jeez!

**** Catherine Zeta-Jones is the HOTTEST woman on the planet!  :-D

Discussions, anyone?

1.  Currently reading The Boat of a Million Years by Poul Anderson
2.  Lohan will get close to a year, more than Paris.  Give it 5:1 odds of 9-12 months
3.  I am sure there are, using proxies
4.  Michael Vick should be tried by a jury of his VICTIMS peers. The idea of putting him in a pit with 12 highly trained fighting dogs (with 4 alternates) sounds pretty viable  :evil:
5.  Just saw Transformers, not bad (but not great either)
6.  Yes, you can go for under $20.  Just don;t stop at the snack bar and go n the afternoon.
7.  For those who said Angelina… before she got so freaking thin I would have agreed but right now she looks sick.  Rita Hayworth in her prime (as Gilda)… now THAT is hot!

I agree … a girl has got to have some meat on her bones

If I wanted to have sex with a skeleton, I would break into a biology lab and steal theirs.  :wink:

I was in scouts, we did this stuff all the time.

Hydration from Animals: Drink their blood.  It’s also high in iron, yum!

Men don’t need lots of iron, and women can just as well “OD” on it.

You also can survive an entire lifetime on nothing but animal flesh.

No, really, you can’t.  It’s possible if you are an Inuit, eating a traditional diet, but you or I (assuming you aren’t Inuit) couldn’t do that.  And that diet isn’t comparable to the one you would have if you were lost in a temperate forest, eating only the animals you found.  You’d also have to get used to eating meat raw rather than cooked to get something other than protein.

You can survive on nothing but plant flesh, but you’ll suffer mentally, physically and bio-chemically due to improper nutrition.

Um, a vegetarian diet is perfectly safe. Vegan diets are a bit trickier, but can also sustain you, although I don’t necessarily recommend them for kids.

Sorry, but there’s plenty of things you just cannot get from plants.  However, animals eat plants, thus, you get all the plant goodness from the flesh of the animal + the nutrition from what they turned that goodness into as well.

Plenty?  No, that’s completely wrong.  Vitamin B12 is the only thing.  And you can get that from a good beer.

As for some animals not going extinct, it’s more then that.  Without humans we would have:

No Cows (like they can survive in the wild?)
No Chickens
No Pigs (hogs yes, pigs no)

This is some sort of accomplishment?

Most fish would be gone.  We not only farm fish, but we create most the hybrids people like today like Striped Bass, etc.

I guess you are missing the warnings that we are overfishing.

That’s just the most obvious, most platant examples of wildlife that would not exist if we did not eat them.

You sound so humble.  You do realize that when you eat something, it ceases to exist, don’t you?

I hope that’s sarcasm.

[ajgundam5]

Of Course :wink:

Now the question is is that sarcasm :wink:

I sure hope his post was nothing but, because he got everything backwards in his post.  It’s like saying that there is ZERO pollution coming out of the North American continent.  Utterly and totally ridiculous.

What was this thing about addressing the argument again?

I did.  I basically said your entire arguement is a bunch of dung and that I hope you are being sarcastic because if you arn’t you are less informed on the subject then most people.
