You are correct: from what I've seen most of the guys on here could never be referred to a "pretty". Have you looked a Croces' photo? Most of the women could qualify but I know I don't.

Every now and then some new guy posts something like Diogenes and then they disappear. Some people just don't get the whole "you don't have to click on this link" thing.

I'm relatively new to this site. On a photographic and informative level it is one of the best sites I've found. BUT, when it strays from what it does best, I find it to be most disappointing. The people who take the time to express politcal opinions are petty, biased, bigoted and often racist. You would rather fight over the things you disagree on than endeavor to find things that you have in common. If you made the effort, you would find that you are not that different. You want the same things for your families and your country. Instead of insulting each other, do something positive. Instead of searching for negatives, seek the goodness in your adversary. Instead of spreading hate and divisiveness, step back and re-evaluate your motives. Do you actually accomplish anything with the sophomoric dialogues that you share on this site. I assume that the majority of you are Christians but you seem to have long ago forgotten your Christian teachings. I think Ghandi had it right "I like your Christ. (but) your Christians are so unlike your Christ." Let's make the country a better place by starting here and now to no longer tolerate what this site has become.

What the hell are you talking about, Ted? You are way way way uglier than I am. I mean that nose! And your neck is 2 feet long and you have a communist pink complexion!

I'll bet that the "general chit-chat" section was formed to keep the "non-photography talk" separated from the true meaning of the forum. Like I've said dozens of times before, if you don't like a particular topic......don't open the thread.

While scanning the www last week I wanted to check out the liberal point of view. So I googled Obama and clicked on his official web page. Up popped a screen with a box to click your mouse in so that you may to enter the site. Next to the box it said "Are you in?". Needless to say, I couldn't enter the site because I refused to click that I was "in" with Obama. Now that I've seen the site through your link, I'm glad I didn't check the box.

You should have clicked the "IN" box anyway. They have a drawing every Wednesday night and every lucky winner gets their student loans forgiven.
