I don't think it's a huge issue, since it's really no different than buying nice clothing, or going to the gym to sculpt my abs,, but.....


If say in the future we had a kid,, and it doesn't look like either of us.. (very distant yes) but,, the thought of it......


IDK,, is there some switch that needs to be flipped and then I'm good to go on this??

So I'd like some of your opinions.

I think he means going to the "baby store" and saying you want a boy that's 6'4", blonde hair, blue eyed hitting the "buy it now" button and then having your sperm and eggs pre-scanned and matched up in a test tube to try and get as close to that as possible.

Assuming your genetics even have those markers in them.

Good idea, open that store,, and I'll give you ALL my money...

Uh, cowboy boot.

Explain??

I'm not sure if you guys heard, but this kid has abs.

yes, I have um',,, I'm not trying to be pompous, I just referenced it because having a six pack is PURE vanity, and has little to no impact on your physical abilities.

"fake" and "perfect" never go together. imo


Well...... ok, you're right about the potentially conflicting connotations of those two words...

so, I shall rephrase,,,,, manufactured and (lets say TV)-Perfect.. even in 1080p very shocking...

There are two kinds of people who have plastic surgery done. Folks who need it to correct a deformity and folks who have it to 'enhance' their appearance.

Personally, I think the latter group are insecure, silly and, not to be taken seriously but, that's my opinion.

I'm in favor of any sort of genetic engineering that can protect future generations from having to deal with people like Paris Hilton, Rosie O'Donnell and Snooki.

Of course, that would involve allowing only a selected group of people to procreate and sterilizing the rest.

Yeah, I could live with that.

It would also involve some Clockwork Orange type behavior modification for some that slip through the cracks, but that should be okay too.

you realize those are all fall under "necessary evils."

If we didn't have Paris,, we'd not know what 'not to do

Rosie O'Donnel, we wouldn't know not to be tooo fat

Snooki, we wouldn't know when people are laughing at us and not with us

Women are only shallow and fake shells. Might as well reflect it on the outside for the whole world to see.
