Dad3353 Posted October 30, 2017 Share Posted October 30, 2017 [quote name='Machines' timestamp='1509375192' post='3398414'] This is a logical fallacy.

ahpook Posted October 30, 2017 Share Posted October 30, 2017 (edited) [quote name='dyerseve' timestamp='1509374101' post='3398396'] I did FFS! She IS talented and she IS beautiful! I will not be made to try and feel bad for saying so and nor should I. Paying a woman a compliment on her appearance is in no way derogatory, sexist or mysogynistic. Does your wife, partner, girlfriend etc. look at you like a piece of sh*t when you tell ehr how beautiful she is? No, thought not! Btw, I would say the same damn thing if it was a handsome bloke playing the piece. WTF is wrong with people these day??? Really are some over sensitive snowflakes round here trying to get offended for absolutely no reason whatsoever! [/quote] Whether you feel bad for saying so is up to you, but I don't think it's appropriate to praise somebody's appearance in the same breath as their skills, irrespective of gender. Women in particular are too often evaluated on the basis of what they look like, not what they can do, so it's best not to conflate the two. btw, If I tell my wife whe's beautiful she thanks me, but if I were to say that she was a 'beautiful Senior Business Analyst' she'd most likely tell me that she's a Senior Business Analyst whose husband found beautiful Edited October 30, 2017 by ahpook Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am position neutral on the visual scrumptiousness or otherwise of the individual Indeed the young lady's 'stunningness' is entirely subordinate to the far more entertaining narrative of a member failing to appreciate that in the wake of Weinstein and amidst a blazing public debate about institutionalised harassment (including but not limited to bodies such as the UK Parliament, Holyrood and the European Commision) it is the case that any comment which bears however lightly upon feminine pulchritudinousness is likely to excite disapprobation among those whose abhorrence of non-21st Century attitudes is so lively that they will apply their sledgehammer of justice to a peanut of offence. In other words, they're all as bad as each other afaic. Apart from Douglas, of course. Edited October 30, 2017 by skankdelvar Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[/quote] I did. A credit to Off Topic. I even searched for a clip from the Brothers McGregor (ITV) where they explain Einstein's theory of relativity by using the example of a bag of chips thrown from a moving car while overtaking a cyclist. To the occupants of the car the chips appear to be going backwards yet they hit the cyclist in the rear of his head, thus proving the chips are moving forwards.

lowdown Posted October 30, 2017 Share Posted October 30, 2017 (edited) That Guitarist has a ladder in the knee of the left leg of her tights/stockings. Edit: Sorry, nearly forgot and got carried away. The Guitarist plays very well and tone wise, reminds me of early Stanley Jordan stuff. The composition has some decent moments, but a little bit too repetitive for me. Edited October 30, 2017 by lowdown Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
