About what exactly?

Missy wrote, "I have nothing against kids. I do have a problem with attitudes like yours, “tho”…

Well bless your little heart, you certainly do. I can help you but you’ll have to open your mind a bit first and quit being angry at me simply because I feel really, really good about myself.

First things first, why do you have a problem with my attitude? My attitude is healthy, I love myself. I love other people. Attitudes like mine are postive and beneficial to our society as a whole.

Oh! I have to go take a shower now. But I can assure you that I will back later to share the love . . .

I think that the most of you are taking the wrong approach. Let’s give her the benefit of the doubt. Maybe she is almost perfect. Yet human. If this is so then maybe we can mate her with **Cecil** and produce perfect offspring. Then we go to work cloning them and create an army of perfect little buggers with which we can RULE THE WORLD!!!

Oops, was that last part out loud?

Either that or Marilyn Vos Savant has finally got around to registering on the SDMB and is just doing what she does best.

I’m sorry, **ALadylikenoother** your performance art must be in the form of _art._

Unless there’s history in other threads, I think you taking this a little too seriously **'punha**. Lighten up a little.  
I think **Anthracite** had the perfect response.

We must be soulmates. Last night I was wacking off to internet pictures of Alyssa Milano and I think that’s as close to a perfect woman as I can come…

Then perfection is not unique.

Actually, I kinda like that idea.

Of course it is, you fool! Each woman is unique in her own personal perfection. No two women arrive at perfection by the same path.

Which is more perfect:

A pristine mountain meadow at dawn as the first rays of the sun hit the sparkling waterfall?

or

Sunset on the ocean as the last umber rays disapear beneath the watery horizon?  
Both are different. Both are perfect.  
Such is women.

</div>

Exactly my point…

There’s no universal template for perfection. What makes some attributes different can, in their case, contribute to their perfection.

Would you want Anita Bryant to have Dolly Parton’s breasts? Nope. They’re both perfect just the way they are. (The women, smart guy.)

Would you want Golda Maier to have Mother Teresa’s temperament? Again, different perfections.

There is always something to learn but some just don’t pay attention. I am paying attention and I am learning.

Now, how wise is it to jump to conclusions or make assumptions? IMO, not very. I learned that along time ago . . .
