I can't trust H and C after the Luntz Love Fest on the berlin speech yesterday. I need time.

Lord have mercy! That lady sings so sweet!

Never heard of her, before this.

Beautiful. I'm a fool for those hurting songs. Thanks, Charles.

I've never heard of her. I'm glad I have now. Very pretty. Solid.

Gee- maybe if so much focus wasn't put on women to be youthful and beautiful, women might feel less inclined to do that. But when people tell you your old and/or ugly, well- that can make women feel and do all sorts of things. In other words- why don't you lay off her!

Seven reasons why people hate reason
23 July 2008
Special Report from New Scientist Print Edition.

Linguist Noam Chomsky talks about reason and exaggerated claims.
Penrose talks about when we need to sidestep reason
Bioethicist Tom Shakespeare talks about why reason doesn't tell a good story.

From religious fundamentalism to pseudoscience, it seems that forces are attacking the Enlightenment world view – characterised by rational, scientific thinking – from all sides. The debate seems black and white: you’re either with reason, or you’re against it. But is it so simple? In a series of special essays, our contributors look more carefully at some of the most provocative charges against reason. The results suggest that for all the Enlightenment has achieved, we still have a lot of work to do.

You can't actually read most of the articles without being a subscriber, but even the titles and intros are interesting, and you can always buy the hardcopy.

You can be sure much of the stuff is wrong, btw, but some of it may well be right.

so me saying 'why oh why did she get plastic surgery' is the equivalent of encouraging her to get plastic surgery?

uh, ok.

re: #59 Mr. Bingley

For my said reason, above.

re: #59 Mr. Bingley

puzzled by why she, like sadly so many female entertainers, feel the need to go under the knife.

Maybe because there are assholes out there making women feel like they need to by calling them old or ugly.

I had the privilege of working 14 hours today. All at time and a half, thankfully.

re: #77 experiencedtraveller

Well done Big Steve. Do you work out?

I am 6'6" so 300 lbs isn't too awful. Yes do work out but not religiously, maybe 2 to 3 times a week. However was diagnosed with diabetes 8 months ago or at least something called incipient diabetes. So took out obvious sugar and no alcohol which was easy since I don't drink much. Otherwise pretty much eat what I like. Blood sugar running between 100 to 110 so that is about normal.

My wife has a rule....if I ever want to mess around behind her back, it has to be with only women born in the 50's and ones that will have sex with me. She was feeling pretty safe about item 2 until recently. I haven't even taken her up on this by the way.

I do not believe this woman has had plastic surgery. In the opening interview she exhibits a high degree of facial mobility, deep nasolabial folds and no accompanying brow lift or eyelid reduction. She looks good to me. She has high cheekbones and a high bridged nose that lends the appearance of facial skin tautness. The criticism is unfounded in my opinion. Her music is beautiful too.
