Couple of questions.

1: how many of you lovelies are getting Overwatch. ?
2: If so, what's the breakdown on platform of choice. ?

I already pre-ordered it on PC, last year.

People stay lecturing me about my mother. How is it so difficult to see someone that refuses psychological evaluation, medication, or remorse as innocent in assaulting their own son. "You should make amends" "what about forgiveness?" "our parents are flawed beings". Truly, fuck this day. Shouts to all the good moms out there though.

It's really not the same at all. Homosexuality is genetic, and at best - racial preference is socially conditioned. I simply can't get behind the idea of having a racial preference. There's too much diversity within a given racial group for a blanket statement of that size to be a legitimate viewpoint in my eyes. You claim to find features like thin lips, a thin nose, pale skin, or round eyes to be unattractive - and thus - white men by extension. But like all races in existence, especially in the United States where ethnic purity is an absolute rarity, the phenotypic differences among races is profound. And I personally don't have an issue against preferences, which is merely a greater liking for one thing over another. I just don't understand going into a situation with everything off the table at the fore front.

Would you find issue with someone preferring not to have X,Y or Z friends because they're X, Y or Z - and X, Y or Zs tend to have personality and cultural traits that they don't vibe with... and so they go into all social situations with that in mind, and make absolutely no efforts to socialize or befriend anyone who is X, Y or Z?

Receipts that sexual preference for ones own race is merely social?

You mention most Americans are mixed, but that doesn't change that I don't find white people, and to a lesser extent, non-black people period, attractive.

"Most Americans are mixed so having racial preferences" isn't much in the way of an actual argument, especially given while most Americans are mixed of something, we generally have a majority of our blood from a specific race. The average Black American has DNA that is 75% African. That's a lot. Whites, Asians;etc are similar. While true that people have mixed blood, to pretend that most American's don't have a preference for their own race is silly given sheer numbers and data.

Personally, I've always found it interesting how I've always seen more black women that weren't attracted to white men than black men that weren't attracted to white women. Both white men and women are pushed as the ideal beauty standard in the western world so it's amazing that there is such a discrepancy.

This is another thing. They're framing this argument as if I haven't been exposed to a billion white men already - "you just haven't found the right white man!" - when only three or so have ever done anything for me and they're generally darker skinned (Mediterranean) and muscular.

Tom Cruise? Brad Pitt? Chris Pratt? These guys are supposed to be hot? They're okay at best to me.

Sorry brehette, we've hit one of the lesser known BCT cycles known as the "ostrich" where the thread ignores a briefly debated "controversial" topic out of fear of anybody getting banned.

You'll have to revisit this in a couple of days, unfortunately.

I wouldn't put it past them to just go with it, though, lol. I dunno what the love for him is - never was a fan. Dude can stay down far as I'm concerned.

There's this dude who's been giving away plots of episodes before they release, but we'll see for ourselves if he's right or not in a bit. Link is to episode 3's spoilers, so I wouldn't click if you're the type to go in blind. Wonder what his source is, though. He was right about the first two.

She decided to respond with more bs earlier today.

I don't show up late to shows because I don't care. And I have nothing but Love and respect for my fans. The challenge is aligning my energy with the time, taking something that isn't easily classified or contained, and trying to make it available for others. I don't have an on/off switch. I am at my best when I am open, rested, sensitive and liberated to express myself as truthfully as possible. For every performance that I've arrived to late, there have been countless others where I've performed in excess of two hours, beyond what I am contracted to do, pouring everything out on the stage.

Because I care so deeply about the artistic process, I scrutinize, have perfectionist tendencies, and want space made for spontaneity, which is not an easy process, with the many moving parts on the road. Some days we are more successful than others re time. However, the vitality that is infused into the performances is always appreciated by the audiences, who may not know exactly what it took to accomplish. What hasn't been touched upon by the media, I'm sure, are the hundreds of people who rushed the stage and stayed in excess of an hour after the show ended last night, just to connect.

Our challenge is to figure out the best way to accommodate the vitality, spontaneity, and spirit that make the performances worthwhile and special to begin with, while also making that experience available and accessible to others. If I didn't Love and respect the art, I wouldn't be doing this. The audience and I should have that in common.

My true audience knows emphatically that I care. It isn't possible to affect people in any deep and meaningful way without putting sacrificial time in.

I have nothing but Love and appreciation for the fans in Atlanta, and regret not being able to give you a full show. We are figuring out a plan to make it up to you, and will announce details as soon as we have them.

Respectfully,
MLH

If racial preference is biological, then how can standards of beauty be susceptible to social perversion? And how can racial preference be biological, when distinctive races as a concept within humans has very little biological basis?

I don't see how you view an entire race of people, and come to the conclusion that you don't find them attractive in general. You've even said yourself that you don't find white men attractive, with the exception of Mediterranean men. Anglo people look radically different than people from the Iberian Peninsula (Spain, Portugal, etc). Slavic people look radically different than Mediterranean people. Semitic people look completely different than Italian people. People with predominantly European ancestry within South America, Middle East, etc. look completely different than those on mainland Europe. Within these groups of people, there are those with full lips, non-thin noses, darker complexions, etc. And obviously when you throw biracial mixtures into the mix, things get even more varied.

It's like saying you don't find black people attractive because you find darker skin, full lips and wider noses desirable - when that's not an accurate depiction of the diversity and varied-ness of black people within the United States and world wide.
