*dies*

this thread is hilarious.
@Snazzy, when you get married, your husband will probably need to lock you up in a room or something with all these guys are after you. Lol

layi:
ooops how can i miss wes' post?Where are they? Point them out.
Is it not?
A theory is as unreliable as a myth. Anybody can come out with a thoery. It needs to be Proven
Its obvious you know nothing about evolution as well else you wont ask us to wait for nferyn.

Work out your own salvation baby

My point is: You're trying to dismiss a theory in favor of a MYTH. which has more credence??
a theory is not as unreliable as a myth. anyone just can't come up with a theory. In order to create a scientific theory, you need to confirm an explanation with a "substantial number of experiments and observations".
a myth on the other hand is just "a traditional story accepted as history"

You can say i know nothing about evolution but at least I know i wouldn't be asking ignorant questions as this:

i'll want the pro-evolutionists to answer Icon's question first.

Quote from: Icon on Today at 12:04:18 PM
Alright, just a quick one for the pro-evolutionists.
If Humans evolved from apes, why are there still apes?

that's a type question someone who just heard about evolution would ask.

that's just as saying "if rocks got crushed into stones, why are there still rocks around? well it's because not all rocks got crushed into stones!".


well, obviously my knowledge of the theory of evolution is excessively limited compared to Nferyn's. (i learned just a little about it 2 years ago. and that's about all i know (maybe when i get to college) . . and yes, almost every one knows the ever popular creation myth. haha)
But i don't know compared to you Layi.  why present a case against evolution? instead create a thread that asks "what is evolution". That's what i would do if i were you. Lol.
Knowledge first, then attack.



I almost certainly know that there are way more problems with the creation myth than the evolution theory.

it's !
where'd you get the yellow from?

Lol.

i bet 99% of the guys in your school are smart and the remaining 1% decided to create this dumb thread.

one advice: change your school or something. how hard is that?

I'm actually 15 not 16 yet(i'll be turning 16 this year though).
Anyways, Ono,  you say at 16, you do not know your right from wrong? What do you mean by that in relation to this topic.
personally, i read romance novels sometimes and i post in the section too. are you saying because i do that, i'm going to contact HIV or get pregnant or have sex?
are you saying i don't know the right thing from the wrong concerning romance and relationship?
I know i do!!!

what i don't get are those who really don't know right from wrong. .  like those whose parents tell "you'll get pregnant if you touch a guy". those are the people that don't know right from wrong!
if your parents tell you however the truth about these stuff, and also safety precautions, what to avoid and what not to, then you're good to go! you know your right from wrong only you need not to do the wrong thing.

responsibility doesn't necesarily have to take the form of academics . That's totally different. That's academic responsibility and has nothing to do with romance. For example, physics can't train you to be a responsible family man or responsible headstart (day care) administrator. You have to be specific .
social, emotional responsibility which has much more to do with this topic at hand is what you should talk about.
i could also say that i was preoccupied with dancing/singing that i had no time for romance!! voila. i'm responsible!!

What makes someone responsible is knowledge/maturity. If you are taught at an early stage how to be mature through sex education (at school and at home), the better.

Children and teens need good information about sex,sexual relationships, reproduction and birth control, sexually-transmitted diseases, and sexual abuse. Information is power, and in this high-risk day and age, children and teens need all the information they can get. To withhold information about sex and the possibility of sexual abuse, as well as information about reproduction and disease, puts all children at risk. Refusing to talk about sex does not mean that children are safe, that nothing bad will happen to them. Only by opening up the discussion about sex, and beginning to talk to children at young age, will we ever be able to protect them from abuse. Ultimately it will only be when sex and sexual abuse are commonplace topics of conversation will perpetrators be held accountable. Only then will our society ever truly be able to prevent one of the most tragic things that can happen to a child.

Those examples you gave from the sections, before i consider them you have to give me the  approximate ages of the posters. and give me info as to what extent you edited them or the link.

It's generally acknowledged the world over, that the present day American way of life is unarguably the worst in human history.

Can you give me a couple of links to where you found this claim? I hope it's from a reliable unbiased source too. You can't just be making stuff up or be posting what your friend who's never being there said.
The current American way of life is actually one of the best!!!! although many take it for granted.

unarguably you say? I'll argue it w/ you.

i don't think this is a right or wrong issue. even though i wouldn't be supporting any 15 year old to be engaging a a serious relationship w/ a 20 year old.
are you guys just friends or seriouly serious because the latter might hurt you or cause you regret later on in life.

I wouldn't even be encouraging a 15 year old to be engaged in a really serious relationship with any guy of anyage anyways. It gets you in trouble (you might not see anything now but in the near future. . )

a subtle relationship is okay but being really serious isn't safe is my point (at 15). You might not see it now but later on. . .

nferyn:
Layi,

I'll come back to you later this evening to refute each and every one of the arguments you put forth against evolution. You are putting up a strawman and galantly charging him to smithe him to the ground.
Your characterisation of the Theory of Evolution is completely off the mark. Apparently you did not understand one iota of the fundamental forces underlying evolution. I'm a bit saddened that an intelligent man like you is fighting an unwinnable fight in a true Don Quichote manner.

Yeah Layi, your arguements are full of logical fallacies ( "Putting up a Strawman" as Nferyn pointed out)
check out this link:
[url]http://www-personal.umich.edu/~lilyth/strawman.html[/url]

most of the posters in this specific thread are guilty of it too!

"The Straw Man fallacy is committed when a person simply ignores a person's actual position and substitutes a distorted, exaggerated or misrepresented version of that position."

what kind i evolve into o? hmm, lemmie go and design that in the lab

wth?

------------
you say evolution is just a theory?
what is the[i]Creation[/i] then?. . . A MYTH!! some creation myth story in the Bible.
now if you were told a myth and a theory which one would you think has a more reliable weight?


and yeah Nferyn is coming to get you guys! 
only he makes better arguments that are actually very coherent and logical which sometimes require a very knowledgeable audience (most of you don't even know what really evolution is. only the oversimplified definition you rely on as well as Layi's biased info.. .  You have to know both sides to make a sound judgement of both.)If only you guys knew what really evolution means instead of attacking made up assertions that the opponent never made in the first place.

we did one in my english class too (kind of satirize the commercial/advertising industry and how they use pseudoscience "fake science" to trick ignorant customers into buying their goods. They use all this big words and you go hmm... they must be smart scientists, business people):

Revolutionary New Insoles Combine Five Forms of Pseudoscience

"Why should I pay thousands of dollars to have my spine realigned with physical therapy when I can pay $20 for insoles clearly endorsed by an intelligent-looking man in a white lab coat?"



the fact is that most of the news actually represent real life issues only they exagerrate them a lot. and use satire/parody.



this one's hilarious to me for some reason:
Evangelical Scientists Refute Gravity With New 'Intelligent Falling' Theory

when they play a song too much, it gets annoying.

yes the song is overplayed.

you'll get bored of it soon hota

awwww you two are feeling nostalgic. . .
don't you just wish you were a teenage once again? and could satisfy your minds and hearts with highly stimulating advanced nicotine physics. bad bad boys.

1938?

ono:
Yeah Wesley, that one's a long post.

The important thing here is self control Forget about controlling hormones flow and all that thrash. Believe me, at 16 and with all these romantic words ringing in your ears, It's going to be a difficult one for a teenage girl not to think of tasting or eating the forbidden fruit, or is it[b] popping the cherry [/b] you girls call it?

good you said "forget about controlling hormones flow"....... because no one can really control chemical/biological changes going on in their bodies.  

It's not a matter of difficulty. It's a matter of knowing your right from wrong.
You hear about robberies and crime everyday ringing in your ear but that doesn't mean you're going to participate in it or break into someone's house the next day!.
the key point is: right from wrong. no matter how much you hear about romance, if you know and are determined that you'll remain a virgin, you can.
romance isn't even all about sex anyways!! It's two totally different terms but somehow  related.
actually hearing stuff like that helps you understand more and how to be responsible (it's the truth if you don't believe and it's called sex education)!!

As at 16, I was much more preoccupied with how to finish Nelkon's Principle of Physics , cover to cover. I remember reading Osei Yaw Ababio's New School Chemistry Book about twice, cover to cover that time. Maybe it's because I attended a boys only secondary school, but I really never had the time to think about girls until towards the end of my stay in the University. Those days, fun to me was playing table tennis and some football. Not getting to know what's meant for adults.

You said "you never had time to think about girls". so let's say you had the time, wouldn't you have?? of course you would have!! and would that have made you lose your virginity at an earlier age? No!!
Just like saying i didn't have time to watch violent video games that's why i'm not violent. That's statement is not very logical or meaningful

And, i wouldn't encourage any one to finish and reread Nelkon's Principle of Physics(whatever that is) unless they're very enthusiastic about phyisics or just school nerds/brains. otherwise, depression might set in. I for one can't stand physics.
so what applies/applied to you might not apply to some other 16 year old teenage girl.
Romance (the topic generally) is not something meant for adults only. If it was, "The frog prince", "Cinderella", "Princess diaries" and all other children books/fairy tales/ teen, young adult novels e.t.c wouldn't be published or made. they contain romance themes which according to you "are meant for 18 years plus only"!!!

yes, it can influence you but if you know your "right" from "wrong" it's not that difficult.

In all, girls should have fun o. No wahala, as long as they did not get infested with HIV.

Now you're saying it's okay for girls to have sex (as long as they don't get HIV)!   doesn't that contradict your argument?

tamia:
to whom it may concern!!!!!!!! the nudity is their body!!!!!!!!!!! what way is it done that it doesn't look real?

"is that you have to have the same looks all the time..which is you hair body size has to look the same it was in your portfolio when you show up for casting or go see."

does that answer a part of your question? what's wrong w/ being yourself? why fake your look and have "same looks all the time"

second of all, 90% of models need to spend a little more money on groceries/food and a little less money on clothings/jewelry. they're starving!

why model a shirt that doesn't fit 70% of the interested buyers? Isn't that fake to you?

just like dipping a badly stained shirt into some liquid mixture and bringing out a sparkling white shirt few seconds later for some detergent commercial.
that crap's just fake to me.

back to your question. people don't walk about in the streets naked in the real world (at least i haven't heard of that yet). so why model unclothedness? if your doing it to advertize Indecency, then that's understandable but otherwise, it's just plain blah fake unreality.. . what's the point of it?


not all models though. just 90% are annoying (j/k).
if your a model, your part of the 10% just for being Tamia

sorry for the long post.
i just had to set you straight.
don't blame me, blame the "raging hormones" (as Oiza would say) 

Really, I believe a girl at 16 should be much more occupied with how to solve complex algebra, calculus and others, y'know school work, kind of. You'd end up a responsible girl that way than just wasting ample time here.

And why waste precious time on romance section when you know that no one will ever call on you to date you? Just go to Education, Religion, Sports and other much more enlightening sections on this forum to grow up and be a responsible woman.

Just my 2 cents, that's all.

omo, are you saying the romance section isn't enlightening? I think it's just as enlightening as any other section you mentioned above!

you're saying solving "complex algebra,calculus and others" will make you a responsible girl/woman?
What exactly do you mean by "responsible" in this context and how does complex math problems help you become responsible?

ono:
Hey! Rolly, not the way you see it o. You've got to wait patiently until you get to that age 18 or so before you start thinking of romance.

what law states that you have to get to age 18 to start "thinking" of romance?
did you wait till you were 18 before thinking about it?
anyone who's  started puberty and isn't thinking or never thinks about romance is not normal!!

Ample: Plenty, extensive, abundant. So, ample time means plenty time etc etc.  Just wait for your time. Invite me to your 18th birthday. I will gladly come over and welcome you to the club of adults.
But, for the now, stay clear of these sections that keeps your hormones running pretty wild at night and you'd forget you have maths lessons tomorrow.
Now hear your self:

Methink at 16, you're not a woman. You're a girl

Another two cents for those who care to take it.

You mean sexual education is meant for adults.
Don't you think it's a wise for teenagers to learn about their bodies and how to protect themselves, sex e.t.c so that they are responsible then and in the near future?

meknows that at 16, you really don't fit into any definitive category. You aren't a kid and you aren't an adult either.
teenage years are a transistional period from childhood to adulthood. people find their identity i.e ("who am I"
That's one of the reason being a teenager is confusing. you're not a girl, your not a woman either,and, you are both sometimes too!!!
that 18 years old deal is just for the sake of legal[/i]ity, officiality. There are some 21 year olds you can't call adults but officially, they are! the same thing goes vice versa.

ono:
I controlled myself for 28 years until I got married, my friend! If you must know, I was a virgin through and through. And I believe if I post my pix on my profile box, you'd fall flat like a pack of cards!!

All through those 28 years my hormones flowed normally and I got a very highly developed brain. I'm a well-baked, well cultured and a profitable addition to my society.

All my advice above is what I used to tell my younger sisters. They heeded my advice and they are better people today.

Good luck to girls with abnormally flowing hormones, lacked self-control and respect, and romancing on the web!

First of all, you said:
"all through those 28 years, [your] hormones flowed "normaly" and [you] got a highly developed brain".

i as well as anyone else who knows a lot if not little about hormones will tell you that statement isn't right.
are you saying your hormones flowed at the same constant rate as you were at age 4, age 17, age 26?
That's not possible!!

You also said "[you] controlled yourself.. why would you need to control yourself if your hormones were flowing "normally" not abnormally?.

Raging hormones (abnormally flowing hormones) during pubescent/teenage years is normal. It happened to you too when you were a teen i bet! why deny it?
Hotangel is as much of a virgin as you and it doesn't mean she's a virgin because she does "complex math problems" everyday and knows nothing about sex education and/or romance.

It's okay for teenagers to read romance stuff/books as long as it's not [i]THAT explicit (it's actually not even okay for adults to do that) There are actually "teenage romance books" along side other intellectual books at every public library i've been to. Are you saying those "wise" people are being "dumb" by letting teenagers know that they can't get pregnant by just touching a guy? (like most ignorant children young adults think)

virozuru:
that was funny!

this is true, but for people with over a thosand posts, i beg to differ.

olowe, this is very true!

You can differ but be ready to argue/defend your position.
I have over a thousand posts and this site certainly isn't my whole social life. ha. how about that vikky?

i actually thought it was my pc. because it shows error pages sometimes when i come on here. cool 
I got more work/stuff done over the weekend than usual. i missed this site being off though  .

yay. i got my nicotine back.

no one except me!!!!!!

i made a star!! took me quite a while though

ok i get what you're sayin" but what about nude models? what other thing r they modellin" in? skin?

I don't get what you are saying.

Models help to advertize/represent stuff. but they're only modelling/representing it. they're not IT.
what would a nude model be modelling/representing?
sex, Indecency e.t.c sometimes fragrances (even though i think going nude is way overboard in this instance).
but still.. . .

depends on how often he eats.
if he eats every hour, i'll only taste 3-6 spoonfuls per meal (depending on how tasty the food is)
if he eats every 6 hours, then there's a problem . i'll probably quit my job.

i hope he doesn't go on fastings.

a 4 year old way of writing "cool" ? don't make fun.

nah. I'll be his food taster. you know tasting his food to see if Nike did a good job or not and making sure there aren't hair strands in his precious lunch. 
$5 per hour will do just fine for my job.
