I hear you Duk but the history of women portrayed like this dates back to the 1500's (in western art and visual language) I appreciate the taking the break part but the image just perpetuates a crappy sterotype that little girls feel they have to aspire to and that is why I made the comment. If youre a reader pick up a copy of "Ways of Seeing" by John Berger. Its old but its a good primer. Its also based on a bbc show so you can find the shows on youtubeDukasaur wrote:Both genders enjoy images of attractive people of the opposite sex.lokisgal wrote:because the world needs more images that perpetuate women as sex objects.....
Men are a little more visually oriented than women, while women have stronger reactions to their other senses, but only to a degree.
And yes, the world needs more images that make people smile, if only for a few seconds, rather than the endless series of 2-minute hates that we are often exposed to.
So, for a finals series, the 1942 Toronto team stands alone:jusplay4fun wrote:Boston wins #18 in the series 4-1 (games).
For Lord Stanley's Cup: Game 7....!.....Monday Night (in Florida). Edmonton has come back from being down 0-3. Will this be a repeat of 1942?
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_t ... s_deficitsIn the history of these leagues, teams that were down 3–0 in a series have come back to win the series five times; four times in the NHL and once in MLB.[4] The most recent example is the Los Angeles Kings of the NHL in the 2014 Stanley Cup playoffs.[5] The only instance in the MLB to date was by the Boston Red Sox in the 2004 American League Championship Series.[6] The only instance in a championship finals series was by the NHL's Toronto Maple Leafs in the 1942 Stanley Cup Finals. The NBA is the only league in which this has never happened, to date.[7]

Just to participate, I recently learned an easy and inexpensive method of camouflage painting one's sporting goods...here's a pic of one of my toys I tested it on. I painted the receiver and the barrel. The rest I wrapped...happy with the results! Gonna do it on a carbine I just picked up too....

ConfederateSS.out!(The Blue and Silver Rebellion)... I agree, and let's enjoy the games and the competition and keep most of the POLITICS OUT.
