VonSkippy, I beg to differ. Of course they're a simple way of conveying your info, but at the same time they can act like a mini-portfolio if done correctly, something to awaken interest in going to a perticular site for instance.

If you have cards which you hand out at social or business gatherings then obviously you can speak for yourself and the card shouldn't have to, the simplest of cards work quite well. If you send out cards with applications, demos, leave them in various places (etc) it's far more important to have an eye catcher that draws people in.

So in the end, it all depends on what you're going to use them for.

Who wouldn't? It would be an interesting experience to say the least, just like trying dog meat.

The astronaut is the only one to even remotely consider, the others look too infantile.

In general, none of those really feel like they capture the "neat" of Neatorama.

What the heck? No phaser? It should've placed second after the lightsaber.

Yes MikedaSnipe, you're entirely correct, I did mean hydrogenated fats (call it a language barrier).

I'd be happy if one idiot read my post, assume margerine is the devil and butter is good, feeding them a 30% butter diet. Come on, survival of the fittest (or least idiotic anyway), Darwin was onto something :P

I can't believe...people actually eat that crap. Mmmm...hydrolysed fats, clogging your arteries. Happy coronary day!

But...why do they sell it one and when when it's clear that you need two?

Wait...are you sure that's not a video of Ben Stiller in Zoolander? Sure felt like it anyway.

I can't quite decide whether he's Bevis or Butthead.

"Ah, so it seems that the Interweb has made cynics of us all!"

Not true, I was cynical far before the net :P

I wouldn't be too surprised if this is entirely made up.

There should be laws against destroying Lego, like a capital offence or something.

Well, "horrendously" is a matter of taste, so I won't adress that.

However, if we see historically, over the course of human existance, body modification has been the norm. It's mainly over the last couple of hundred of years (aside from a few isolated occurances where it's been popular) that we in the western world have shunned away from it. So whether it's "normal" or not entirely depends on how you look at it. One could even in the greater spectrum of time consider this period of "unmodification" a fad and we're now slowly returning to the norm.

Why bother? If you're passionate about something (something to deal with human rights no less) do you just sit idly by when people are slagging it?

"Once I realized I was being flamed, I simply stopped."

Yes, because it's easier to dismiss something as "oh, he's just flaming me" instead of actually realising that the person is entirely sincere and hoped for a discussion on the subject. Each to his own, but I assure you that regardless of what you may think flaming was the last thing I had in mind.

"If you can’t see what’s so colossally stupid about cutting off your nipples, I doubt anything I could say would convince you otherwise."

If you can't see what's so colossally wonderful about cutting off your nipples, I doubt anything I could say would convince you otherwise. :P

To be picky, it was my second post, and I did say that you "seem" like, not that you "are". I didn't jump to conclusions, I asked you a few questions. If you have a background in psychology truly you can understand the danger with so called "armchair psychologists" and why one should not make various conclusions only from a person's acting, especially so if you don't know said person. Wouldn't you agree?

Also, I did not say you had no exposure to the bodmod community, I asked if you had any insight. Insight and exposure are two different things. Everyone has exposure to some degree, but few have insight.

I implore you not to put words into my mouth saying I said something when in reality I said something else, saying I accused (more or less) of lacking insight when I actually asked you if you had any.

"Your rebuttals have been based on me being ignorant to a science and a culture."

...and you have done nothing to prove the opposite either, until now.

"I hope, for your sake, you find another way to attach value to yourself aside from removing parts of your body."

Not trying to put you down, but I find that sentence laughable (and honestly a bit insulting). Again you try to attach words or actions to my person. I have never lopped off anything from my body, nor do I have an urge to, but I am otherwise heavily involved in the bodmod community. My perticular choice involves suspensions, which I'm sure you have something to say about as well.

You're right that sanity is (for better or worse) defined by the majority, however judging someone because of what he chooses to wear, his piercings, his tattoos or possibly his lack of nipples is awfully close to something else. We stopped (or at least officially stopped) judging people by the color of their skin some time ago so why should this be any different? Are these people so very different that they deserve to be treated differently? Is it because it's volontary or because it breaks social stigmas, or what could it be?

I've asked a whole bunch of questions which you've thoroughly evaded answering, it would be nice to see what you really think about freedom of expression and to hear what kind of exposure you've had if you have the time. I mean, instead of hearing more rash conclusions about either me or the person sans nipples. Personally I believe that we, in today's society, attach far too many things to psychological malfunctions of one sort or grader or another. It's like it's hard for people to grasp that one can do someething like this and still be the most normal person in the world in every other aspect, that he's just like one of you guys, of us.
