We that is all of us human beings and other social animals are the sum product of our past experiences. The nature versus nurture debate is too in depth to articulate here. But from observation and self analysis,I have come to the conclusion that, nurture is of utmost importance, because physical features are only a superficial quality, and if they are not debilitating they are of no consequence. So any comment about other people's appearance is nothing more than an display of our own -PRIDE and PREJUDICE-. Irrespective of our natural predisposition, this proud and disdainful rhetoric about arbitrary physical qualities regarding other people,and sometimes our selfs, only displays our lack of self esteem, and overcompensating because of the aforementioned, the same can be said about prejudices. So I suggest we have a close look at ourselves, work out how we come to be this way. Think about the DOMINO EFFECT, and how we stack the dominoes, and the consequences of that.JOHN FILEPhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06739516990835653618noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5328427.post-91853863846070285782009-04-23T21:24:00.000-04:002009-04-23T21:24:00.000-04:00Damn, I'd almost forgotten that Otter.

We had a theory on why guys like Keith Richards, Jimi Hendrix, Jimmy Page, (the list could go on) played guitar. Quite simply (being high school boys at the time, with only one main goal at the time)it was to get lucky. We'd listen to our favourite guitarist and comment "Good lookin' guy, too bad he can't play guitar!"<br /><br />OtterAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5328427.post-54265740026180949632009-04-23T06:09:00.000-04:002009-04-23T06:09:00.000-04:00Wonders how Janet Reno fits this argument.

People (and perhaps its genetics) still instinctively get drawn to the beautiful..or at least our cultural idea of that. Eye Candy only. Obviously if we get to know people better their real inner beauty comes through and than we make life choices upon that. I can't defend it one way or another or say I have not done it myself. We would wish we are better than that, but than we find ourselves peering at a hard body or handsome smile and we find pleasure in it. Much like men who stare at a women's chest first before their face. Its what happens after maybe, that is more important. Do you override intinct and become a human being that thinks or slip deeper into a more animal state. Popular media will always ride this and saddly these unrealistic pictures will continue to be one demensional role models for many. Good article though RevShinigami Kayohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10533491647782428484noreply@blogger.com
