Actually, I don't consider myself unattractive from any side, so my assumption of the meaning of your statement was correct. I remain feeling rather upset by the original post.
Time to *stop* reading, for me.

Okay, I didn't mean you had an unattractive backside. It's just not my favorite view of anybody, good or bad. Yes, some people have marvelous backsides. I wasn't implying that yours wasn't. I just said mine wasn't. Didn't I?
I'm sorry you're choosing to remain upset. What a terrible drag for you. I hope your day goes better soon! You could choose to forget, and to forgive.

All right. I realize everyone has issues. I'm sorry I upset Partly Cloudy. She has a lovely rear end and she should post it on the site all the time. As should everyone else who believes their backside deserves posting. Personally, I didn't find it cute although I suppose I should have. I can see that it was done with a sense of humour which I don't possess.
I'm sorry I offended so many people, especially Partly Cloudy because I think she is probably an outstanding person and very supportive.

There is no religion that will save any one of us although many religions have forecast that future from the past. From the past. We have not changed in time. Not all of us care about what we have become our children and should they have children also god forbid there are great terrors about to come, Listen.

I'd like you to consider something; seeing the backsides of two people was a shock, considering that not too long ago, in my recent memory, in fact, within the last couple of years, there was a rear-end experience that many babblers had to see, unfortunately, and I was completely triggered by this photo and unfortunately, didn't realize it until afterwards. So that is why I posted it was unattractive. It was far too reminiscent of what recently happened here, which was a Crime. A true crime. A crime which was really really sick, and when I come onto Babble, I still wonder what photo I'm going to see.
So you see, not all of us have forgetful memory banks. At least, not when it comes to some things.
And I would expect a supposed professional like you, "Dr" Bob, to understand something like this. I would have expected you to make some queries before indulging in some Susan-battering of your own.
Quite frankly, I am disappointed that PC has indulged herself in these hurt feelings because she made a decision to take this her own way. It is unattractive because it is much too reminiscent of something Very Bad, from a Sick mind, that happened on Babble, and it was triggering. Did I trigger something of PC's? Obviously. The same trigger lots of people have, and it's meaningless to take offence because you think someone else didn't see you as gorgeous. That was only PC's interpretation, I tried to make myself understood, but I'm not giving PC leeway to treat me like sh*t because she's taken it upon herself to be offended, in fact, I would rub that wound until she explores it and gives it up, life is too short to be offended that you think somebody doesn't want to see a picture of your backside.
The jerk who put his *ssh*l* and colon up here a while ago certainly wasn't offended that we thought it was the ugliest thing we'd ever seen. I'm quite sure of that.
AND I AM NOT MAKING A COMPARISON TO PC'S BACKSIDE!|!!|! It was a trigger. Does anyone get that???
Dr. Bob, I'm disappointed in you.
You're a lot more nearsighted than I gave you credit for.
But then, you're an administrator of a board, to me.
Nothing more.

others feeling put down, etc., to finish the original idea. The idea is, I really don't care too much about others feeling put down if I think I'm telling the truth as I see it.
And I've always known people who back away from that because they just cannot handle it, they don't know what to say. So they say stuff like this,
WTF??? As PC posted to me on Babblemail.
WTF?
And as America tortures and incriminates innocent people, and the Muslim world becomes more and more fundamentalist and angry, back-against-the-wall-stop-screwing-with-our-reality and leave us the F*CK alone
(although I am not Muslim, but I can imagine how one would feel, as America continues to push her self-given right to exert her self-indulgent might, what US Customs calls "Homeland Security" ... and that doesn't sound right, calling the US a "Homeland" is like the US trying to take the right of a person to have any other country named as my "Homeland" away .... it's too authoritarian, it's too obvious ... and we are all as a collective World just standing there allowing the US to do this to everyone, to finger the world, and call this country, this America, (as though Mexico and Canada were not also part of America) ... taking the right to call itself America and then now also taking the right to call itself the homeland.
My homeland is not America.
In the eyes of the United States government, who has yet another President who allows himself to be ignorant of all the under-the-table and behind-closed-doors things that happen in his own government ... in medaieval times, there was a system ... a citizen, an ordinary citizen, anybody, could be employed to check up on anyone performing a government service, and then report about their performance .. and apparently, this worked and it kept many many levels of governance honest.
We're so dulled and dimwitted now, we can't seem to see the value in anything that isn't programming our heads.
Blind, blind and stupid, and in the end, we will all get what is coming, and no mistake about that.
I am at this time writing from what we call a "free country".
And I know my opinions could be controversial and could get me into trouble, if we were to believe what we see on television, that wonderful mass marketer and promoter, if we were to believe what television is feeding us, it's possible the writer of stuff like this could become a hit target.
And I guess that's all we really are in the end, you know that, right?
In the end, we're a mass of meat and bone.
And that is really disturbing.
Because it means that the magic is ephemeral.
And we don't appreciate the Life we have.
We're buried to realities, here in this "Homeland", this "America" .. insulated and all trying to beat one another to the who gets to retire with the most toys Wins.
Blind.
And Stupid, apparently.

That your are inevitably, as am I, as are we all every one, part of the problem. Everyone. There is no one whose being part of a "solution" is a bigger contribution than their simply having become part of the problem by simply being.
Just being, is the problem.
Because we have shown collectively and individually that we're incapable of change in the time we had allotted to us.
That is what we are left standing with.
And anyone who cannot see that is either hiding in his or her religion, and that is a very, Very Big Contributor to the Problem here, make no mistake. Make no Mistake.
Religion is a thief-in-the-night, religion will take what you call your soul and sell it to the lowest bidder ... the card that allows you to be complacent in the face of your dread mortality, the card that allows you to feel Saved, the card that allows you to think that this is not All there Is, and therefor the most important.
Religion is the thief who takes your desire to make the most of This Moment, and put it aside for later.
Religion is mumbo-jumbo for the simple-minded, and sometimes also for the strong-minded but weak-willed ... and I don't give a f*ck Who I might be Offending.
So either hiding in religion, or "faith", or self-given Authority of another type, perhaps academia .. or fake science.
And there are fake scientists. People who daily try to make honest scientists look dishonest ... there is a lot of fake science in our world, and fake people who believe the fake science because they are uneducated in the facts.
The facts being contained in the mirror, and the facts.
And the facts are, humans are slowing asphyxiating themselves in their self-created atmosphere.
And there's gonna have to be a whole lot more vegetarianism, and fast.
And people are going to have to give the thought of a "housecat" a whole new meaning.
And to be honest, I could just about murder any cat I see wandering the neighbourhood.
That is how much I care, and how human I am.
No less than you.
Take note.

Susan,
I'm sorry to hear that you were triggered. Being triggered is obviously not a pleasant experience & I'm always sorry to hear that someone has been triggered. Sometimes I am even nervous that my 'subject line' will trigger a person if it says, ***.........trigger*** because even the one word could be a trigger.
I though of the picture of PC & I as this:
A photo of 2 friends standing with their backs to the camera.
As opposed to:
A photo of 2 women's backsides.
There certainly were numerous parts of us in the photo - not just our bottoms!
The only reason it was from the back was that apparently that's a customary way for photos of Babblers to be shown on PB.I don't usually visit this 'board', so only read this now.

No. You misunderstand me. I am saying, incorrectly as usual, as always, to some people, that I don't like seeing the back of anyone, I don't care if it is Raquel Welch or Britney Spears or Madonna, I don't like the backs of people.
I have a problem with people walking away, and looking at the backs of people. It feels ... snoopy. Like, they don't see I'm seeing this side of them .. and I don't like what I look like from behind, either, because I like seeing the fronts of people.

back side, not on the frontal or the coronal or the saggital, but the dorsal view .. does that suit your offended sensiblities a bit more? I don't believe there was even this much aggression shown towards the absolute Criminal who (that? Surely, not a human being!!!) .. monster who posted his colon and gross, ugly droopy bag here for the world... sick slender-fingered smelly-holed of that it is certain, ring-bearing *ssh*l*, literally ...
so Kath and PC, who won't read anything Susan47 posts anymore because she might be triggered, and is too sensitive and delicate to have commentary about her photo, but no problem, apparently, putting a photo up here .. why do something so public and then not be able to handle the reactions of others? Did you think you would only get positive commentary? Really? Seriously? Isn't that a little egocentric, I mean, did it serve anyone to get that upset over my remarks? And no, I can't stand the fact that there are photos of people here at all, unless they're anonymous babies, and even then it doesn't erase what happened here at Babble -
if you have to stand with your back to the camera, my question for you is Why? Why Bother? Can't we have some beautiful landscape or flowers up there? Why do we constantly have to look at views of people ...what could one's motivating factor possibly be in having his or her own image on the site? Aren't there enough beautiful things we could be looking at? The other thing, why bother with a photo at all? It was hacked into once, couldn't it be done again?
Why take the chance? It seems extremely irresponsible of "Dr." Bob to be taking that risk. I don't care who says what, computers can be hacked, programs can be hacked, it's irresponsible and self-aggrandizing.
And why oh why, is this "Dr." Bob so silent and non-comittal, but still pulling the photo strings, still pulling the pupeteer's strings ... it's all about power.
I can start my own blog that no one would ever visit, and that would be really really depressing, but I mean I can see why it would look like too much of a responsibility to put your name on a site like this one. Too much work, too much hassle, not lucrative enough.
Lucrative.
A physician's favourite word, in private, whispers upon whispers, moans and groans and grunts and growls ... lucrative, is this lucrative enough for me?
Is it good economics?
The fundamental problem with our societal structure .. morality gives way to economics, to religion, to politics ... the natural world, the mother who sustains us all, is completely sidelined and second-guessed and given NO RIGHTS whatsoever ... and people continue to kill and maim others, and create great destruction and evil ... and I disagree with Salman Rushdie's character's words, words that reflect something like this and I use this without permission but then, my words are so gloomy, why would anyone read them, no one reads what I write anyway, unless there is an opportunity to Take Offence .. and there are many, many of those ... Saleem Sinai writes... "if everything is planned in advance, then we all have a meaning, and we are spared the terror of knowing ourselves to be random, without a why; or else, of course, we might - as pessimists - give up right here and now, understanding the futility of thought decision action, since nothing we think makes any difference anyway; things will be as they will." ... I disagree that there's terror in knowing myself to be random, without a why .. in fact, there's great hope there, because I get to invent myself, to live in This Moment, Here Right Now ... and it is not true at all that nothing we think (or do) makes any difference anyway; things will NOT be as they will, because Fate is a human invention, a human-made idea, in the primal part of the brain a search for meaning, to bring life to our hallucinations, our dreams of being a warrior ... a turning towards a belief in something "greater" or "more powerful" than oneself .. knowing yourself to be powerful and able to do great and wonderful things seems to be too much for a very very many people to be able to handle in a Good way. Without a belief in a god of one religion or another. Without the need to take hours and sometimes lifetimes in ritualistic, often, very very often, warring practice. And it is true what Doris Lessing writes (once again no link to Amazon .. why the f*ck Amazon? Because it's the easiest, most convenient choice to link to? Are there no other online booksellers? Of course there are, even stupid little Susan knows that, there are MANY online booksellers who would LOVE to be linked into this site .. did Amazon strike the most lucrative deal? Why only Amazon? Don't even BOTHER to try responding to that question, I'm not interested in self-justifying b*llsh*t. The fact is, by being on this site one restricts oneself to someone else's idea of the parameters of the world .. this is television, this is movies, this is our culture, their culture, Any culture ... restrictively is how so many of us define ourselves, unable to look beyond and beyond, unable to imagine oneself capable of even the slightest change ... so much

.... Doris Lessing knew what she was talking about in her book "Prisons We Choose to Live Inside" ... most likely, out of print, but a book more important to us as humans now than ever before, becoming more and more crucial to understand stuff like this, that there are people who Enjoy War, who delight in the killing, the maiming, the raping and pillaging, the blood, the adrenaline, the power. And the risk.
There are many, many people like this on Earth. Many. Too many. Training suicide killers and child soldiers, children raised to be absolute monsters with no conscience awakened yet, able to do great Harm.
And so it becomes ever more important to take one's individual power to do the right thing, to be non-warring, non-dominant, to begin an official plea for the sanctity of Life, to respect ALL life, the life of the smallest creature to the largest, the most seemingly insignificant plant, the abundance of the beauty of this planet's natural rhythm and life force ... but man is really so ashamed and full of enmity for himself that he will murder his neighbour with no compunction to do otherwise, should he find the right justification. We all take planes boats trains cars buses, and perhaps it is only the poorest of us who is the most innocent .. or perhaps not, perhaps the poorest of us sells his children or maims them to become more efficient (here we have, once again, economics, the economics of starvation filling the atmosphere, a pale stench compared to ours of greed and dominance and need of luxuries!) ... to become more efficient as a beggar ... we think we are so civilized in the white world.
We do well to remember this: there go I, and the Grace of God has nothing whatsoever to do with it.
Nothing. It is your own choice; why not take it and be remembered for being Good, for your graceful handling of that which you were given, remembered for being part of a Great Solution.

Please don't post anything that could lead others (such as those who have religious faith) to feel put down.
But please don't take this personally, either, this doesn't mean I don't like you or think you're a bad person, and I'm sorry if this hurts you. I hope that you choose to remain a member of this community and that this community helps you, if needed, to avoid future blocks.
More information about posting policies and tips on alternative ways to express oneself are/is in the FAQ:

http://www.dr-bob.org/babble/faq.html#enforceFollow-ups regarding these issues should be redirected to Psycho-Babble Administration. They, as well as replies to the above post, should of course themselves be civil.
Thanks,
Bob
PS: According to the formula:
duration of previous block: 1 week
period of time since previous block: 2 weeks
severity: 2 (default) + 1 (uncivil toward particular group) = 3
block length = 2.86 rounded = 3 weeks

> Why take the chance? It seems extremely irresponsible of "Dr." Bob to be taking that risk.
~ ~ Dr. Bob checked with me as to whether I was okay about it. I appreciated that he did that. ~~
> And why oh why, is this "Dr." Bob so silent and non-comittal, but still pulling the photo strings, still pulling the pupeteer's strings ... it's all about power.

> And I am allowed to make my judgments, it is irresponsible, in my view, and self-aggrandizing, in my view, to take the chance of others being damaged and saddened by suddenly viewing a very, very nasty sight, so that one may add interest in the form of photos .. no doubt, of oneself.
~ ~ I'm sorry - I actually laughed when I read this. I can't say that I've ever seen anything here that I thot was a very, very nasty sight!!!
I'm sorry if you are triggered by some of the photos.

backside
as compared with:
back side
Reminds me of that "telephone" game where people whisper a sentence to the next person & them to the next. And by the end, the sentence hardly resembles what it was at the first!
I STIL don't think my back side is ugly OR my backside, for that matter! Nor my friend's!
