"Beyonce was named People magazine’s “Most Beautiful” woman for 2012.
The singer told the magazine that being a new mother has made her feel
more beautiful than ever and has given her a new sense of purpose."
Someday whites will be a minority and Southern whites will be a
minority within a minority. So what is the solution? Is the solution
new state laws that make it harder for them to vote?
"New State Voting Laws May Affect More Than 5 Million
Could Have Significant Impact on 2012 Presidential Election
By Robert Longley, About.com Guide
Updated March 04, 2012
New state laws dealing with the right to vote enacted since the 2008
election may cause more than 5 million eligible voters to find it
significantly harder or even impossible to cast ballots in 2010,
according to a new report from the non-partisan Brennan Center for
Justice.
As is often the case with laws dealing with voter registration and
qualifications, the 19 new laws and two executive actions enacted in
14 states this year will most affect minority, poor and young
voters. . . ."

Bite the bullet and learn to adjust ?
Face the fact that white people may not be the best that biology has to offer ?
Grow up and see that evolution continues to improve or eliminate all living things.

Actually the world's most beautiful woman is Jennifer Lopez, with Lucy
Liu coming in a close second. And truth be known, Beyonce is probably
about 90% Irish. There ain't anything like her to be found on the
Ivory Coast.

I'm not familiar with either. I have not kept up with Hollywood's
beautiful women since Elizabeth Taylor played Cleopatra.

That's what I figured. I bet when Beyonce's
great-great-great-grandmother was raped by the slave, she never
thought it would make her g-g-g-grandchild desirable -- 200 hundred
years later.
>There ain't anything like her to be found on the Ivory Coast.
If you notice, 90% of the black people in TV commercials are not
completely black. Everybody loves blacks .... as long as they
don't LOOK black. Just like our beloved Obama. He's what could
be called -- "black light". Or ,... "light gray" :-)

All over. I have chest hair, which I hate, especially now that it's white. I naired it all off a couple of weeks ago, as I've often done before. I also used a hair clipper with an offsetting attachment to shorten the hairs on my arms above the elbows. I'm eagerly awaiting the
invention of hair-on and hair-off. I don't need hair-on
much, though I do have a thin spot at the whorl of the
hair on my head, as do lots of guys of course. The
ancient Romans, who didn't like body hair any more than I do, had the advantage of slaves to pluck out the hairs, though it was probably a painful process.
I don't mind underarm hair and pubic hair so much, though I did trim my underarm hair the same time I
trimmed the hair on my upper arms. We might be
better off without hair at all, once we got used to the
look.

It's just not fair; none of it is fair. Have you thought about the
possibility of saving the Southern culture by applying for help under
the endangered species act? :-)

The Southern culture I'd try to save is not the one that is found in a
lot of popular books. Especially the book -- "Gone With the Wind".

It's odd, I guess, but I never read that book or saw the movie. I did
make a list of classic movies a half-dozen years ago that I haven't
seen or have forgotten or only saw parts of, etc., that I intended to
watch now that I'm retired. So far, though, my batting average is zero
on that list.
I actually prefer other types of classic movies, like "Valdez is
Coming", for instance, starring Burt Lancaster who plays a Mexican who
I'll bet you would like.

I've never seen it either, nor have I read the book. I never was much of a fan of movies though, and over the last 20 years I've
probably see fewer than ten. I just looked up Jack Nicholson in Wikipedia and checked out the list of his movies, and as I thought, I've never seen any of them, including "Five Easy Pieces"
and "One Flew over the Cuckoo's Nest".
Here's a list of "the 100 greatest movies of all time":
http://www.afi.com/100Years/movies10.aspx The only ones I've seen on that list are:
Citizen Kane maybe: I'm not sure
The Wizard of Oz again, not sure
Star Wars again, not sure
Psycho
2001, A Space Odyssey
The Graduate
Annie Hall
The Bridge on the river Kwai
Dr. Strangelove
Midnight Cowboy
A Streetcar named Desire maybe only snippets
West Side Story maybe only snippets
The African Queen on shipboard, maybe age 11
Who's afraid of Virginia Woolf
Tootsie
A Clockwork Orange
Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid
The Last Picture Show on TV
That's between 12 and 18 of the 100, which is more
than I'd thought I'd have seen when I started going
through the list. My favourite on that list would be
"Dr. Strangelove", perhaps.
Even though I love Marilyn Monroe, I've never seen
any of her movies, just occasional snippets. I always have trouble remembering whether it's i-y or y-i in her first name.

I'm surprised to say that I have seen them all! But, we watch a lot of movies at home. I think that I may even have most of them on tape (and need to get them transferred to DVD before there are no more tape players)!
My favorite is The African Queen which I first encountered as a book on tape. Later, I saw the film version and was not disappointed with the casting. Normally I prefer to watch the movie first because the director in my head biases me when I read it first and then I'm disappointed when the actor(s) don't match my mental image. In this case, Humphrey Bogart and Katharine Hepburn were perfectly cast!
I'm surprised that Birdy is not on the list. That is my wife's favorite movie. She also likes 84 Charing Cross Road and Shirley Valentine, both chick flicks.
How about Driving Miss Daisy and On Golden Pond?
There are also some classic, but very dark, Vietnam era movies missing. Platoon and Deer Hunter, for example. Also Good Morning Vietnam - Robin Williams is awesome!

I'm with her on those two. Own 'em both and watch 'em at least once a year.

For me, it would be Apocalypse Now. The Redux version even adds the missing segments. Bought the DVD as soon as it was available.

Some of my favorites from the classic list are 2001: A Space Odyssey,
The Graduate, E.T., High Noon, Snow White And The Seven Dwarfs, Jaws,
American Graffiti, Cabaret, and Network. Network is one of my all-time
favorites and definitely on of the greatest movie ever made
Some others great ones that aren't on the classics list are:
The Day The Earth Stood Still (Great 1950's Sci-Fi Movie)
War of the Roses (Should be at the top of the list of classics)
All Quit On The Western Front
Brigadoon
Seven Bridges For Seven Brothers
Forbidden Planet
Fail-Safe
Cat Ballou (Another really great movie)
Barbarella
Valdex Is Coming
Fiddler On The Roof
Young Frankenstein
Star Trek - The Motion Picture
Star Trek - (The one about the whales)
The Rose
All That Jazz
The Jazz Singer
Airplane (Maybe the funniest movie of all time?)
Fahrenheit 451
On The Beach
Good Night and Good Luck

I've never heard of any of those, but that's not surprising, since I've never heard of some others on the list. I avoid
chick flidks, though I did see "Beaches" which is maybe the ultimate chick flick, at least of what I've seen.
>How about Driving Miss Daisy and On Golden Pond?
I've heard of them, but never seen them.
I'd have put "Bananas" on the list. There's not enough suburban angst in it, I guess, just Woody Allen's habitual urban angst.
And what about "When Nature Calls?" That was Jim
Carry's best movie (that I've seen) IMV. If there were nothing else in the movie but his choice of meditation ritual, while he was in the monastery trying to become a monk, that alone would have made the movie worth seeing.

I've seen that one, in a movie theatre. It was not bad. Mostly I liked Hanoi Jane, though she
hadn't gotten that nickname yet, I think.
>Valdex Is Coming

>Star Trek - The Motion Picture

I've seen a lot of Star Trek TV shows (the first series, with Kirk and Spock), but never a movie. I didn't warm to the second series
with the bald guy.

I saw that on TV. I read the book - in high school,

I've not seen any of the others you mention,
though I've heard of some of them. "Airplane"
is one I might watch if it came on TV, though
I usually fall asleep if I'm watching TV for long
so it would be hard for me to catch the whole
thing.

I never thought of her as a great actress, she was hyped
as a sex image. Like Bridget Bardot. Jane Fonda was promoted
in the same manner but did perform well in some films.

I think Elizabeth Taylor was the most beautiful female movie star.
She was never considered to be air-brained and frivolous like Marilyn.
I saw on TV this morning that they are making a movie about Liz. It
will star Lindsey Lohan. That will be a come-down for the
beautiful Liz.

Also my impression. Monroe was a very neurotic individual and did
not really like her sexy image, she did not want to be loved for
her body. Taylor was a world class narcissist. Taylor was married 7 times
(she came across as a "man-eater"). Monroe, was not like that and although
possibly not emotionally abused by her husbands, was too neurotic to live
with. I felt sorry for her but never had that feeling for Taylor.
When my wife (of 56 years) went to her 50th high school reunion there
where pictures of them in their high school period and also
in their 60s. American students of the 1950 were not overweight,
they all had similar physiques. All of them look rather ordinary,
both the girls and the boys. The main impression I had is that most
of them would not have problems finding spouses. I found that most
girls in the 17-25 year old range attractive. Nature made both sexes
that way, they were drawn to one another naturally. Even the less attractive
girls found function under the rules "ugly girls is kind". They can be
physically ugly but project an attractive sexuality and have no problem
finding a mate, procreating and producing still another generation.
I did not in fact have a sexual urging for movie stars. They certainly
were unavailable. I saved my lust for those girls about me.
The other day I was reading an article about human sexuality, in French
by a French woman. She happened to mention that the average 20 yr
old young man can have a full erection in 10 seconds! Girls of that
age require a more lengthy bringing to that state of sexual readiness.
Most males recognized that latter in life but at 20 do not. The wise
seducer knows to be patient, prepare the ground.
Whatever, at my current age of 80, I don't understand what all
the excitement was about. From this distance it looks very stupid.
But that was the way it was.

Just hearing that Woody Allen or Jim Carry are in a movie would be sufficient for me to avoid it. Can't stand either of them, but for very different reasons.
