I just want to be an attention whore before I go to work. :) Comments on this picture???
This picture is from about.... four years ago? Anyway, it's from my frist prom. And I'm feeling nostalgic and miss my hair being like that. lol So I wanted comments on it. X)
Seriously though... I'm just really bored waiting for work...
Sounds like something I would do if I ever lived in those areas (although, I kind of do now... just not as rural, i'd have to travel to reach the sticks).
Yep, that was me. And I do live in the sticks and hate it :(
My neighbors were the ones that got drunk every night, blasted their music, and at that murder.... >.> Yeah, not a good year. OH, and their dog bit me :(
Then you shouldn't have commented at all if you're not going to comment? But of course you really did comment by saying she looked weird.... Personally I don't see what is so weird?
Lol, thanks for defending but not necessary, some people just don't like the look, and I have no problem with that. I liked it and that was all that mattered :)
Lol. I couldn't get it delivered in time :/ Had to resort to the trite suit and tie thing. I was thinking of getting a tweed jacket and a nice bow tie. Haha
Well there is this thing called the freedom of speech. He has the right to comment. And this doesn't go just for you but for anybody else who thinks Srom shouldn't comment. I don't like it when people say "don't comment then" because in my philosophy, freedom of speech is a natural right. And all comments are welcomed unless neccessary. His comment wasn't necessary due to the title of this debate.
And he also has the right to choose to shut his trap. He has insulted her without justification at all. Should I stand by and watch or defend a friend?
Yeah Srom had the right to shut his "trap" but he still answered the debate's question. You know that Saurbaby stated that she wasn't insulted, so why say "he has insulted her without justification." I say defend your friend, but don't be rude to Srom. He answered the debate. If Saurbaby stated that she didn't wanted comments such as "weird" or "dull" then Srom's comment would be wrong. Now if she was insulted, im feel sorry for her. But i would say Srom deserves the criticism because he still answered the debate.
There are two sides of everything. Accept the other side.
Edit. There is no other justification than personal opinion. His opinion is justifiable in Srom's world. In your world, your opinion is justifiable.
I don't think that my comment was rude at all. Your accusations are unfounded. Obviously, saurbaby didn't take offense at srom's unjustified comment. But that doesn't mean that I can let someone insult my friend without proper justification.
There are two sides of everything. Accept the other side.
I can say the same to you. Practice what you "preach".
Actually i was wrong with my understanding of "justification." You are right. Srom's comment wasn't justifiable. But anybody's opinions are justifiables. Calling someone pretty or ugly isn't justiable because those are opinions.
That was his opinion. If you are going to call Srom's comment unjustified, then you have to call every comment on this webpage unjustified because they are all opinions.
That was his opinion. If you are going to call Srom's comment unjustified, then you have to call every comment on this webpage unjustified because they are all opinions.
Yes, I do. But I also have a right to pick and choose. Like how you picked and chose to rebut my comment.
Your comment is unjustifiable too.
My comment was. I merely asked him to justify his views. Obviously, I did justify why I thought she looked great (opinion). The justification was that I liked her dress and that her highlights complimented her looks and dress (justification).
You are right, Srom didn't justified his views. I see now how i was attacking you falsely and i apologize for that. Please excuse me.
I don't accept. Call me petty, but I think that your blind defence of srom is disgraceful. I can say that because it seems to me like even when you haven't completely understood what srom wrote, you still jumped on me, falsely, just because I disputed him. I am not going to take things lying down. Did you really think I was going to bend over and take it?
However, im glad that he didn't justified his views because there is no telling if Saurbaby is going to be hurt or not.
I don't care if srom doesn't like her. That's his opinion and he's entitled to it. What I DO care about is my friend getting insulted without justification.
Well technically, i shouldn't give you my full apology.
It doesn't matter whether you did or not. You extended an apology out of courtesy, which I appreciate. Whether I do accept it or not is my prerogative, not yours. Don't ever expect me to bend over and take bullshit from you.
Because i have this gut feeling that Srom did had a justification but didn't type it.
A gut feeling is no justification. I can say that I have a gut feeling that Santa Claus exists. I have a gut feeling I am going to die in 2 seconds. But does it make it true? I don't think so. Because the fact is that he did not type it. You admitted it yourself.
Wait. lol. Why do you want his justification when his justification is only reasonable to him. I can say she is ugly due to the trees around her. That is justification and i say it is reasonable because i choose it to be reasonable.
Why do you want his justification when his justification is only reasonable to him.
But you are making a judgement on his reasons before he has given any reasons! You are presupposing what he says is only reasonable to him. Who is to say that what is not reasonable to me? You are prejudiced.
I can say she is ugly due to the trees around her.
No you can't. The tree are around her, not part of her. You said sheis ugly, not the picture of her is ugly.
i choose it to be reasonable.
You can't choose something to be reasonable. You can only say that some a posteriori judgements are subjective.
If someone brain judges someone to be ugly or beautiful due to his/her surroundings, then that is reasonable for that person only.
And hence, i find it reasonable for that person. I won't find that reasonable if i make that judgement due to the fact the trees are not a part of her.
Just like you don't judge a person by the friends he/she is surrounded with, you can't judge the intrinsic beauty or otherwise based on his/her surroundings. That is no good justification at all.
Im not talking out of my behind. If someone's brain finds it is reasonable, therefore it is reasonable for that person only.
You stated that you can't judge the intrinsic beauty or otherwise based on his/her surroundings. But why is that reasonable? Because your brain finds it reasonable. If you agree to this then you can't say that im talking out of my behind. What you state reasonable is what your brain determines to be reasonable.

You stated that you can't judge the intrinsic beauty or otherwise based on his/her surroundings. But why is that not reasonable? Because your brain finds it not reasonable. Your brain cannot call it reasonable because the surroundings and the person itself are different objects in existence. If you agree to this then you can't say that im talking out of my behind. What you state reasonable is what your brain determines to be reasonable.
You want to go "in depth", huh? Don't run before learning how to walk. You haven't even got round to writing good English yet. How can you even reason "in depth"?
This type of justification is in the eye of the beholder. The type of this justification is "personal." If i call her ugly, that is justifiable in my own perception.
Of course. But that doesn't absolve you of the responsibility to say why you think she's ugly.
If you agree, then you agree with me that srom's comments are unjustified.
I can comment all I want! Its a debate! You can comment on a debate. There were no specific rules about it. I just said she looked weird thats all. Stop making it a big deal!
Yeah, comment. Not insult. All you did was take a cheap shot at her and gave no justification for what you have said. That is not a debate. That is just a personal attack!
Dying your hair was a nice touch but the dress itself is nothing short of amazing. And I'm still trying to figure out how you got such a clear complexion for your first prom.
The dress was actually altered by my boyfriend's grandma, the panel in it was originally white, so I got it changed, and purple sequins were added. A lot of work went into it.
And I have NO idea why my face looked so clear, because usually it wasn't my first two years of high school, and ALL through middle school >_<
I was goig to ask the same question...he is referring to the basketball hoop in the background! I was going to make some remark about it as well, but I couldn't think of anything witty so I gave up on trying.
Well i can't make comments without answer the debate. You want me to be honest, i too find you weird looking. Reventon Rage is right. I say make statements with justifications. But i don't want to justify my answer because i don't want to possible bring you down.
I don't like it when people are not totally honest with other people but in my opinion, that depends. Like if your boyfriend was cheating on you, i would tell you. However, when times becomes like this, i don't want to hurt your feelings.
I do like your hair tho. Black with a purple shade. You have a smile that shows how sweet and innocent you are. I don't like the dress. It looks cheap BUT i like the design. See, i don't want to hurt your feelings. lol. Also, i don't think you won't mind, but have you been a goth girl?
I like the dress. Very cool. I especially like the colors. The color black. I wore a white suit and after the first dance I had makeup on the jacket. But she made up for it later so it was OK ;)
Oh my god, I was obsessed with those in high school for awhile there.
And they were really popular when I was in middle school. They were called sex bracelets though and each color meant a different act, if someone broke one the act had to be preformed....
