i was reading aldous huxley's brave new world and thinking,this is what society is becoming.especially since nowadays people want to be distracted with the use of the internet and social networking sites such as facebook and twitter.i like how it says " what we desire will destroy us" because in the grand scheme of things.
it most likely will and that is a very disturbing thoought.it is shocking how he wrote the book in 1932 and it was written during the 1920's, all of what he is sayiing is becoming a scary reality..
Well thinks in part to reality tv many people do not see real life for what it is
What is it that they are not seeing?
Many people are too distracted with the use of tv to know what goes on in the real world.
What are they missing?
.Just think of the many hours a child today watches televsion.Long televsion hours can inhibit social skills among other such things.
Agreed. Limited TV use for children is a good thing, particularly for social skills.

I'm assuming this is a battle of the testosterones?..
Not really. It hasn't been a battle for me yet. I'll let you know when it becomes anything resembling a challenge :)
Snoozy, who usually sees this in hormone driven females..
Well, I like my girls hormone driven, it just depends on which hormones.

I thought this thread would be about why the Challenge of Universal Sovreignty is inherently a flawed and pointless confrontation....
Just like Satan, they think they can win against me! (I kid, I kid.)

John Wayne is one of the most overrated actors of all time. Reflect that. No versitility. Played the same character in every movie.
Ah, so your clear poor understanding and grasp of the cinema is the issue. Glad you managed to clear that up for us. Clearly you have not seen that many of his movies. Ignorance for the fail.
And Hedy Lamarr is a TRUE hero and actor. And she was totally hot.

Need I repeat, you can idolize a fake hero all you want, but when it came right down to it, Wayne failed to enlist when other actors would such as Jimmy Stewart.
Perhaps you think I idolize John Wayne, if so, you are mistaken in your assumptions. Interesting that you would pick Jimmy Stewart since he apparently had no problem with John Wayne and starred with him and Lee Marvin in The Man Who Shot Liberty Valance. Of course, Jimmy Stewart also starred in Winchester 73, FBI Story, Harvey, Rear Window, The Man Who Knew Too Much, The Man From Laramie, Flight of the Phoenix, Vertigo, Mr. Smith Goes to Washington, among others, as well as his rather distinguished career as an Army Pilot.

John Wayne loves to portray a fake soldier but when it came time for him to fight for real, he chickened out. Bad example of a tough guy to use.
John Wayne (not his real name) was an actor. He did an excellent job at what he did. He also apparently was expempt from the draft and later felt much regret over it.

Far from a bad example of a "tough guy" he was far more of an example of a man with conflicting ideas, desires, goals and commitments. His two greatest roles in The Searchers and The Quiet Man reflect that.

CJ, I counter with this.

You don't have to go John Wayne to be a strong man NVL.
True that for sure. But I didn't have a picture of Ghandi's hand at my immediate disposal. Ghandi was one of the most morally and mentally strong men to have ever lived, along with MLK, a personal hero. I just happen to love old movies and, in particular, old Westerns. Hence the John Wayne.
And Berengaria, you think I'm young. You haven't been here long enough to know that. You do make a lot of assumptions...
I'll step in here. Berengaria just assumed you were young due to your obvious lack of maturity, manhood, mental toughness, wit, intelligence, critical thinking skills, logic, internet google skills, and tenacity. It's an easy mistake to make.

I have to repeat something else that falls on deaf ears as well: I have NOTHING to learn from you. No one does...
Clearly. You are beyond help. Good luck to you in whatever path you shrink from.

Seriously, next time you attempt to pick an internet picture to portray a man's hand, try John Wayne, not the nancy hand you were so obviously drawn to.
