Comments for For The Blank Page http://www.fortheblankpage.com here's a little something for that blank page Sat, 19 Dec 2009 02:45:59 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.2.1 Comment on forgetting the most important part.. by Elizabeth Bennett http://www.fortheblankpage.com/2009/11/26/forgetting-the-most-important-part/comment-page-1/#comment-104 Elizabeth Bennett Sat, 19 Dec 2009 02:45:59 +0000 http://www.fortheblankpage.com/?p=155#comment-104 Hmmm well I'm not sure if the number of smart women is diminishing, but I can see how it would seem that way. It might be that the smarter ones aren't in the places you have been meeting women (this would be no reflection on you by the way). It might be that the women who are more exposed and congratulated in society tend to be so based primarily upon their good looks and congenial personalities (and maybe they are smart too?). Or it might be that women are responding appropriately to constant messages about what makes them valuable and worthy. There is not an impression that the type of guy I/other women are looking for is looking for those things in a woman... I dare say (with regret) that there is an impression that most, if not all, guys in general notice only certain things, and that the ones who are different are the exceptions. It is very nice to read your post and be reminded that there is diversity underneath, and that what Zoo and Ralph covers tell us is not necessarily the truth :-) Thank-you. Ps. In stating the above I am not saying I would rather be a short, broke or bald man. But I guess that is another discussion for another day.

We all make wrong choices but it is never too late to alter the consequences from the wrong choices that have been made. They simply serve as a lesson in life's jouney to learn from and forge ahead in life. The trick is being wise enough and honest enough to admit that the choice may have been wrong and learn from it. It is never too late to make a start in a new direction and benefiting from the wisdom that life has given you. You’re so right.

]]> Comment on Kraft In Damage Control After Epic Marketing Fail by Shannon http://www.fortheblankpage.com/2009/10/01/kraft-in-damage-control-after-epic-marketing-fail/comment-page-1/#comment-69 Shannon Sat, 07 Nov 2009 03:15:13 +0000 http://www.fortheblankpage.com/?p=55#comment-69 Hrmm well after a lot of thought and agonising, I have decided I like the name iSnack 2.0. At first I thought it was retarded (and I choose this description carefully) but Cheesybite Vegemite is lame and standard. iSnack is cool. Bring back iSnack! But yeah I do agree that iSnack 2.0 has pretty much no relevance to Vegemite. Or erm, cheese flavoured Vegemite. I can imagine them in the room picking the winner, 'oh yeah, iSnack 2.0, that's so clever man, hehehehehehehehehe, lol lol lol lol, roflmao'. It's a total injoke for nerds. But since nerd culture kind of defines the present tense... A guy I work with thinks it's just really good PR. I'm not so sure because it's worked too perfectly. I am more confused about why they would rename it a name that is already taken by Pizza Hut. Hrmm well after a lot of thought and agonising, I have decided I like the name iSnack 2.0.

I agree with you, though this article will probably make believers scoff and they will bring up some "God said people would mock him" BS. I hope that the article does help some. Very good read.

However i am not attempting to arguing with the opinions of doginamanager, bar when it is said that the question of "how sensitive is too sensitive?" is irrelevant. I am stating that in order to achieve equality, which is crippled by racism, we must transcend these 'connotations'. This WILL NOT be achieved by society being forced to refrain from doing or saying anything that might be deemed as even slightly racist, for fear of castigation. This will only reinforce insinuations and fuel the metaphoric fire. Yes i have read your link and valid points are made.
