quote: So, I suppose the only reason you got married was because of the money, right? Also, since my husband and I are not going to have any children, does that mean that we are a burden upon taxpayers and we shouldn't be allowed to be married?

So, perky young breasts ARE sexier?
No wonder so many women get fake tits.

quote: Perky people are sexy? Eww, I hate perky people. Anyway, what is sexy is culturally influenced, too. It isn't all biology. In French culture, for example, women in their 30's and 40's, and even older, are considered very hot because by then they will have learned what they need to know to be great in bed.
quote: But fake tits are perkier and younger looking, so wouldn't that mean they are sexier?

How about talking to people, reading their literature, looking at their art cinema and paintings?
In Europe, people aren't nearly as addicted to TV as Americans are. This message has been edited by schrafinator, 06-17-2004 05:18 PM

I wasn't actually talking about popular culture, but as long as you brought it up...
bold added by me. http://www.21stcentury.com.cn/print.php?sid=6562
The French are not only less sentimental about sex, but they also actually enjoy seeing mature women as sexually alluring creatures. French actresses Sophie Marcear (Top), Catherine Deneuve (Bottom left) and Julitte Binoche are among the top 15 film stars in France. Fifty-eight-year-old Deneuve, 53-year-old Ardant, and others over a certain age (74-year-old Jeanne Moreau, for one) continue to be sexy and bankable celebrities. In France, seven of the top 15 bankable stars are women, according to James Ulmer's (Hollywood Hot List) calculations. All except 24-year-old Audrey Tautou are older than 35. Contrast that with the American list of top 15 stars, which includes only two women Julia Roberts and Nicole Kidman. Kidman is 35, and Roberts turns 35 next month. "In America, you get older faster. You are old at 40," said James Ulmer, who published the "Hollywood Hot List" in 1997. "The French give women the opportunity to age gracefully and to be feminine. French film allows them to be sexual and sensual in a way we don't. We don't allow women to be sexual after 40, and you see that in the way movies are cast. Movies are a reflection of the culture." http://www.rendezvousfrance.com/kunz.html
Q. How different is the environment in which French women grew up in from the environment of an American woman?
A. They have been exposed to history. In their history there are king' mistresses, women who are older than men and still fascinate men. You grow up with a lot of wonderful art around. In the U.S. you would be concerned to have a nude statue in a park! Here, you see statues everywhere, you don't need to go to a museum. There is such sensuousness. French people don't have a problem with age. My Gosh! In California aren't they doing everything not to look a day over 30. Here, I am more comfortable with my age. It is relaxing.

quote: But if you pay taxes to support straight marriage, then you are supporting the ability of some straight married couples to engage in sodomy if they like that sort of thing. You are supporting straight couples doing all sorts of things that you and your religion probably wouldn't approve of, and you are doing that already.
