The Objective Definition of Beauty

[jamest]

Didn't do much for me. Sounds like Morrissey (who I love) on an absolute downer. Btw, what's the first best music package... iyo?

Fuck it. It's big tits.

My point - as should have been obvious - was whether reason/knowledge should have any say in what constitutes beauty. As such, your contribution failed dismally to address this point.

See... a man devoid of reason...

I think ass is more important than tits. But that's just my opinion.

Errr, except in providing an unequivocal answer in the affirmative, you mean?

Seriously, I thought you could at least read competently.
