What if, say, someone accidentally poured it down her garbage disposal? Hypothetically speaking. Paint me in a corner, but my color comes back.

Mos def! Chef Boy-ar-Billy makes me a very happy kiddie. Meow. Paint me in a corner, but my color comes back.

I've just been informed the aliens have taken him. Sadly, he seems to be enjoying it there and has no plans to return. Paint me in a corner, but my color comes back.

In theory. Paint me in a corner, but my color comes back.

Happy Birthday!

Reminds me of the kids I used to tutor--10-year olds. And they were SO obvious about trying to sneak a peak, even if the V-neck barely came down below your clavicle bone. Boys never grow up about those things. Paint me in a corner, but my color comes back.

Rats. Thanks for the link, though. Paint me in a corner, but my color comes back.

Awesome. I'll bring a hat. Paint me in a corner, but my color comes back.

I can't vote. I'm perfectly symmetrical. Actually, I think I am. I've never noticed, even after careful examination both by myself and Dr. Billy, any difference between my left side & my right. And I do not have implants.

Will you be ridin' dirty? Kelel, . Would a monkey dance cheer you up? Paint me in a corner, but my color comes back.

Reminds me of the "Just Say No" campaign posters in high school. My favorite was the poster of a bunch of animal booties--zebra, elephant, donkey, etc--and the caption read: "Butts are gross." Paint me in a corner, but my color comes back.

This is interesting to me--not b/c I necessarily disagree. I would and want to go see Bodies. I'm not 100% OK with these specific bodies being used being that there was no possible way for them to have given prior consent to be displayed in such a way (i.e. not for medical research). But I'm not entirely against it either. And since in addition to that, I also think it looks super-cool, I would definitely go see it if the opportunity presented itself.

I understood kallend's point. My point remains. How does one determine this? Is the driver of a hybrid, simply b/c they drive a hybrid, assumed to be a generally less selfish and more caring person? What if their true goal wasn't the environment at all? What if they just wanted to save money on gas so they had more in their pockets to spend, spend away on extra food at the market? Is an obese person selfish b/c they consume more food, thereby causing the farmer to tote more oranges and make more trips back & forth in said SUV? Or what if the SUV driver was in fact rich and drove it merely as a luxury---What if said person also donated a huge chunk of their millions to cancer research each year? With the proposed new tax, could it then be argued the money to pay for that tax would be taken from cancer research and instead applied toward preserving the environment? And even then I'm still not clear how this particular tax would help the environment since said rich, luxury-SUV driver will continue to drive their SUV regardless. I guess that tax would be going to??? A big bubble to install in the atmosphere to replace the depleted ozone layer? Obviously I'm being ridiculous on purpose here. I think believing one can determine a level of selfishness w/out knowing a person at all & in addition taxing them for it, is just as ridiculous. Everyone cares about different things. If everyone cared about everything, nothing would get done. Just my philosophical opinion. Paint me in a corner, but my color comes back.

B/c then you need a system (which would ultimately have a ton of gray area) to determine whether or not said condo dweller wants the SUV b/c it is fashionable or whether said big-city dude has an actual need for it, too--even if that need is toting all the latest fashions from the atelier to the fashion show. Or, is that a lesser need than a farmer toting oranges? However would we decide? Then of course, you'd have to widdle through applications for such a "determiner" in an attempt to find one that doesn't have a pre-conceived animosity toward big-city folk & their so-called fashions. By that sentiment, isn't a Ferrari also a fossil-fuel burning "fashion"? Would the tax on sportier fashions be greater or less than spacious ones? Paint me in a corner, but my color comes back.

Some controversy. I realize that particular article is about a year old, but it's still being debated. Recent article, Seattle. Paint me in a corner, but my color comes back.

I would LOVE to see that! Paint me in a corner, but my color comes back.

You caught me. I didn't search first. Of course, they didn't talk about the controversy in their thread, so can I get like a point or something for not being exactly the same? Paint me in a corner, but my color comes back.

P.S. Be sure to watch the videos under "About". Paint me in a corner, but my color comes back.

Bonfire? SC? Bonfire? SC? SC wins. Thoughts and/or opinions regarding the bodies on display? I haven't had the opportunity to see the exhibit myself. Of course, there has been some controversy over it being that it is a for-profit organization, and those whose bodies have been preserved & displayed did not give consent. Of course, they were unclaimed bodies, and by law such John & Jane Does can be donated to science, etc. Disrespectful? Or really cool? Paint me in a corner, but my color comes back.

"Those on the far right are too busy watching The Matrix and believing it's real."~Lewis Black Jeanne, won't you come sit on the fence with me? The view is spectacular; there's double the entertainment. This whole thread is entertaining. Paint me in a corner, but my color comes back.

I'm not sure I believe in fate in the sense that if one does nothing, everything will just happen for them. But, I do believe that which needs to happen ultimately will one way or another. I met Billy after I graduated AFF. I heard his voice on another former AFF student's post-student status video (Hi Joe!) and thought he sounded hot. When I said that, everyone and their mom insisted I meet "BillyZ". And we did. Paint me in a corner, but my color comes back.

He'll be back soon. They're upset with him for creating an automated message referring to the "Galaxial Wide Web". Only Keanu was supposed to know about that. Paint me in a corner, but my color comes back.

I'm lazy. Paint me in a corner, but my color comes back.

Actually they just sent me back... I was only there a couple days. With what little I learned in Alien, I'm pretty sure when they beamed me back they shouted something about talking too much. But, I still got my sexy, baby. I'm bringin' sexy back... Paint me in a corner, but my color comes back.

Fallacies, in general, are common here. For example, I believe it is a fallacy to state as fact another's intent: I don't believe such things are safe to assume on a public internet forum. Paint me in a corner, but my color comes back.
