Wacky beliefs that don’t kill people: possibly okay. Wacky beliefs that kill people: not okay. I think it’s a straightforward distinction that still allows for human eccetricities.

Me too. I don’t watch or read celebrity stuff and looking at her career on IMDB I would only have ever seen her in BASEketball. Her photos are those of someone I have never seen.

I don’t care how hot you are; wilful ignorance and smoking are two of the biggest major turn-offs for me. I’d want to smack her in the face repeatedly, not screw her.

Plus I’m not seeing the “hot” in the link above, unless by “hot” you mean “botox, a bad hair dye job and lots of sun damage”.

There are times that I think the Dope is an enclave of people that are completely different and detached from reality. This is one of those times.

You say that like it’s a bad thing. But if it will make you happy:

There you go: an insightful discussion of the only reason to consider dating Jenny McCarthy.

I stand corrected, then. “Botox face” instead of “plastic-surgery face”.

Can tell I got four hours of sleep last night and am a little loopy, because my eyes skittered across this and somehow came out with “pre-op” and was momentarily confused as to how you could consider her a tranny. But only for a split second.

So she’s a nut on autism. In my experience, everybody is a nut on _something_. She’s smart, she’s funny, and she’s as hot as a $2 pistol. Would I date her? Hell yeah!

Wouldn’t date her, but I’d fuck her. I’ve fucked crazier, less attractive women in the past, so why not? She wouldn’t be allowed to smoke though, until she left.

I’d consider it an opportunity to do really nasty stuff, because she looks like she’d dig it.

Smart people don’t spew what comes out of her mouth on vaccines.

Eh.

Maybe it’s because I’m a woman but I find stupid a huge turnoff. I don’t care how many muscles you have or how blue your eyes are when you start to sound like an 8th grade dropout I cease to find you sexually attractive.

I wouldn’t allow her to date me until she’s had all her shots. 🙂

You kidding? I know plenty of smart people with nutty ideas. Many of them right here on the Dope.

If by “date” you mean “have 48 hours of wild, crazy, no-holds-barred monkey sex with no meaningful conversation or expectation of any future relationship,” then yes.

Otherwise, probably not.

I’d date her.

I’d date Wiccans and Christians, I don’t see how this is any different.

And in public I’d make it clear that she’s wrong about that, just like, if someone asked, I’d say that I disagree with my gf about religion or w/e. She’s seriously hot gaiz come on.

Well, the resulting species would literally be too stupid to live, so it’d be kinda moot.

Hopefully it’s clear this is a judgment of her, not of **Grumman**.

“Let your children die” is not what one would call “nutty.” Nor “smart.”
