If you define crap as porn
Did I define crap as porn? Seriously; have I? If I have, it was completely inadvertently.
I'm no good when it comes to logics, but isn't "if you define crap as porn, then all porn will be crap" slightly off?
I may be wrong but the idea of "all bananas are fruit, but not all fruit are bananas" keeps spinning in my head.

You feel beautiful people do not depict the -real- world?
1. These actors, don't they live in the same world as us, and do not -we- live in the "real" world?
2. I seem to remember having seen loads of beautiful people in my 20 years on this planet.
Is your argument that, it's not that there aren't beautiful people in the world, it's just that TV-shows tilt the balance by only showing beautiful people? That they don't show the ugly, or less attractive ones? If so, then I agree. I seldom see ugly people on TV (except the few times when I don't reach the "off"-button in time and Ricky Lake and her disgusting guests manage to plague my tv-screen for a several agonising seconds.)
Get off your high horse
My horse is busy sleeping it off in the stables. I'm sorry, but from my point of view, my feet are firmly in place on a grassy knoll. I'm sorry if you feel I was being pretentious or arrogant. I certainly wasn't trying to be.
if you understand what is being said -- reply.
Well, I'm not sure if I understand you, but in order to find out, I do actually have to respond to your post.
And your knee-jerk reaction would frighten me if I hadn't seen it so many times before. Use your brain, not your gut.

It was a knee-jerk reaction on her part.
(didn't know that expression, so I had to look it up.)
Whenever I post on this board, I always make a point of seriously deliberating every word I choose to post as I have the utmost respect for the board, the moderators and most of all, you and the rest of the posters. I feel a bit sad and depressed knowing that you assumed I didn't use my brain, when I actually thought (and still do) I -had- used my brain.
