You are a fool. :down: Repent.
What do you think about Target selling their 50 Shades of Gray "sex toys" to (perverted) adults, Satanist?

In the new Star Trek continuity Spock and his father are much closer. Something I never understood about Vulcans is how they looked down upon on Spock because of his human mother in an almost racist manner. That seems at odds with the Vulcan pursuit of pure logic and suppression of all emotions. Also for a highly advanced technological race it seems strange that they basically lived in caves.

Are you trying to be a walking caricature or is it just coming naturally to you these days?:jump:
he is just mad
I heard an ad for Valentines Day flowers and they said there was a 50 shades of gray teddy bear. Makes me very sad. :doh:
And what exactly is the message you'd be trying to send someone if you get them that??
:rotfl:
That's actually kinda funny.

Knowing nothing about this except vaguely having heard the title. I had to look it up. Here are my observations after about 30 seconds of investigation:
The novel is pulp soft-porn; and badly written. I can tell this without reading a single paragraph of it, simply by the character names. Anastasia "Ana" Steele, Katharine "Kate" Kavanagh, Christian Grey, and a helicopter named "Charlie Tango". Good grief! What a load of bad cliches!
So that in itself ensures that I am unlikely to ever read the novel.
Next, a movie full of soft-core S&M? What a surprise (not). Wasn't that the inevitable next "social barrier" Hollywood was bound to cross? Of course it was.
Not that I care about maintaining social boundareis, because mostly I don't. It's just that any movie that has to sell itself based on it's crossing social boundaries will almost certainly be a movie that can't sell itself on it's social value, it's quality of writing, acting, or plot, or on it's staging, cinematography, etc.,. Which is a movie I am not likely to go see.
Perhaps if it's free, on Netflix, and I'm feeling bored and frisky some evening ...

so why did you expose us to this?
Why do you ask?

Are you expecting that Bybee should be anticipating what "we" want to be exposed to, and what we don't? How could she even do that? How could WE even do that for ourselves?
How can we know that we don't want to know something before we know what it is?
C'mon, man, use your head!
I did use my head
and
read her opening post
so why would she want to expose us to it?
All right, you Twit! In what way am I exposing you to it? I haven't read it, therefore cannot quote it and wouldn't anyway.
You do joust at windmills....
