Escorts & Engagements
I read most of the replies here and there is a lot of interesting points of view on the dynamics between men and women, but something stuck out to me. Someone stated "go outside of Southern Cal for a day. Go to the Midwest. NOT that the Midwest is a mecca for average looking folks. But look around." Come on! That is generalizing right there. I am an east-coaster, and I don't want to generalize about Californians but I guess I'll do a little of that too. The majority spend an awful lot of time focusing on superficial appearance. Sure, attractive people is what draws attention and what initially attracts men and women to each other but it can only take people so far. I realize saying this makes me sound like 2 bagger! But I don't consider myself unattractive. And on the other hand, there are things I'd also like to improve as far as my looks go. But it's just not what it's ALL about. Chemistry between men and women could consist of many different things. I think intelligence and yes -- sense of humor - there's that old stand-by (but it's true) are sexy and attractive in men. I see that before looks. I do see more women with less attractive men as far as looks go than I do men with less attractive women. Are men more shallow than women? I often wonder if that's true. But that's generalizing again. Because I know plenty of shallow women that only want money or looks in a man. And actually if that's what they want, more power to them. Everyone is wired differently. Money and looks in a partner without any substance wouldn't do it for me personally. Of course having the money, looks and substance sure would be nice though! But who has the energy to find the "perfect" person. And who wants perfect anyway. When in love, faults and imperfections of that person become almost "perfect" because it is part of what makes them who they are.— March 21, 2009 3:34 p.m.

Punching Women and Shooting Burglars
bluegokart... you say I don't know the concept of criminals committing illegal acts because I believe in gun control? That makes no sense. Most violent acts in this country are caused by guns - true fact. Currently, the city I used to live in, Philadelphia, is going through a "trend". Cops are getting shot and killed. That just recenlty had another young police officer shot and killed in the line of duty. Believing that everyone and their mother should not own a gun makes me a "brain-dead liberal" according to you? Why does every Rush Limbaugh type conservative use the words dumb when describing liberals? Because they have nothing of substance to say that will make any sense, that's why.— March 14, 2009 2:09 p.m.
C is for Cookie
Now I'm in the mood for a delicious cookie.. my Mom makes these great nut balls with powdered sugar during the holidays. *That's* what I'm talkin about!!— March 14, 2009 6:17 a.m.
Punching Women and Shooting Burglars
About gun ownership, if there weren't so many people who own guns, there wouldn't be so many people needing one to defend themselves and their property in the first place. It's just a viscious cycle. As for Chris Brown, lock him in a room with just Tawny Kittain and pointy stiletto shoe!— March 14, 2009 6:04 a.m.
A sampling of San Diego's vanity license plates
Interesting read. I never realized how strict the DMV was with the censoring of personalized plates. I guess it makes sense that they do deny vulgar words but it seems to me they can take that censorship a bit too far.— February 26, 2009 7:06 p.m.
Furious George -- Chimps Gone Wild!
I just have a problem with a wild animal being domesticated and locked up like that. I know this woman didn't leave it in a cage 24/7 and she supposedly treated it like it was just another member of her household, but it's not in it's proper setting. You can't really fault an animal going nuts like that. Dogs and cats are domesticated animals. Some animals like chimps are not meant to be in my opinion.— February 18, 2009 7:46 p.m.
The Oscar Pool
I am so behind with seeing movies that were out in theaters, but at least I know I'll have plenty to choose from on Netflix when they get to DVD. I did finally see The Dark Night recently at an IMAX theater. I can see why so many praised Heath Ledger's performance.— February 18, 2009 7:39 p.m.
Python Parents Arrested
But JB, you can't really know if she's the type of woman that would do something so horrific like drowning herself and her children over some man. That would take a pretty sociopathic screwed up person and no one can tell that just by what we know of her. So far, I can tell she's selfish and self-centered but sociopathic? I don't know. I know the point you are making - do something now like take the kids away before they are harmed but it's gamble either way so it's hard to say what's the right thing to do.— February 16, 2009 11:25 a.m.

Glover was perfect for the part of Andy Warhol. "Now you can talk to God" hehe— February 15, 2009 9:29 p.m.
