My biggest peave is watching photographers and models beat the snot out of each other verbally all day long on this site about THINGS THAT WILL NEVER CHANGE.

There will always be creepy, perverted photographers.

There will always be flaky models.

Breast implants are here to stay.

Escorts are a fact of life. LIVE WITH IT.

Some shoot TFP, but it's not for everybody

Some models are thin, others have curves . Both types of models can find work. They just have to look for it.

Some are in this business to make money, others for pleasure. respect that

Some people like nudes, other people are offended by them. It is what it is.

   Beating your head against the wall about things that will never change only drives YOU slowly insane. Certain things are with us forever: death, taxes, seat belt laws, crooked politicians, people that roll through stop signs, etc.

  These things will not go away.

  Face it.

  You'll sleep better.

I'm clapping.

Haha, my coworker can't STAND shipping time because of the tape.

the switch on the back of my neck. i hate when i hit by mistake cause then i have to wait for some to find me so that i could power back up... and i haven't updated my software so start takes like 10 minutes... (still using biotech 4.2 instead of 7)

Yeah, but version 7.0 is so damned expensive, and it really isn't much of an upgrade from version 6.1, really. I think it adds an enhancement to the night vision feature and has some security updates so theoretically you won't get sick as often (this feature is rather debatable, really). I'm waiting for the feature to allow me to change my hair color at will, and an anti-aging function would be brilliant as well.

  But I agree... Why would anyone put that switch on the back of your neck? That's so short-sighted.

  -P-

  PS -- I do recommend you upgrade to version 6; I think that version allows you to add a timer to the switch that required it to be pushed for at least 2 seconds before you'll power down. That's why I upgraded...

No...it's piss expensive coffee. They're raising their prices...I think it's already too expensive, but I always end up buying once in a while anyways.

The sad thing is that for how much you pay at Starbucks, it's really low quality stuff.

I helped start up a cafe. This is our supplier -

I think all of these issues are worth discussing. People should be aware that there are flakes and creeps out there, so they make sure to check references of people they're going to work with. Girls should know how breast implants affect their position in the modeling industry. People should discuss the pros and cons of escorts, decide what they're personally comfortable with. TFP should always be negotiated. Some models are thin AND curvy, and threads by individual models asking for guidance are useful to other models as well, etc etc. All of the topics you mentioned should be discussed. The more we get anti-nude people to talk about why they're uncomfortable with nudity, the more they'll realize that they don't have any good reasons, and the world will be filled with zillions of great nude models, photograpers, and photography! Killing the discussion would be counter-productive.

I agree with your statements in principle...

But where does it end?

How about these for debates:

  Chockolate or Vanilla

  Coke or Pepsi

  Democrat or Republican

  Right or Left

Get my point?
