    Wow! Who is that? is it Megan Fox?
    Always do that, wild ducks do. They shoot to the bottom as deep as they can get, sir — and bite themselves fast in the tangle and seaweed — and all the devil's own mess that grows down there. And they never come up again. - The Wild Duck, Henrik Ibsen.

    Limajean, why should you? You, of all people!

    Saladin, apparently you're right: looked up her tatoo to find out

    I don't know, there's just something about Megan Fox's face that doesn't strike me as exceptionally beautiful (only moderately beautiful ). After all, she's no Keira Knightly (or Natalie Portman!)...

    I'm shutting up now.

    Beauty is power. Do you agree? My Russian friend once told me their country strongly holds on to this aspect and I remember pondering over this. I believe so, beauty does give at least an ounce of power more than the lesser in any aspect in life. Beauty can signify purity, such as the dove, clear from imperfection, and I believe that such purity holds power, a strong force of hope, light and goodness that darkness cannot resist.

    Beauty of such power is incomparable to the appealing faces and forms of celebrities. Beauty existing in human are so limited, so fragile and worthless in time. Beauty in human works and masterpieces such as paintings, literature and music is permanent, and its beauty shines forever, moving our sense with such forces that is incomparable to our physical forms.

    Beauty commands attention.

    Of course beauty is power.

    Beauty attracting attention is not always power. Consider with more indepth. Beauty doesnt have to be skindeep, and it commands far more than attention.

    I didn't say the beauty I was talking about was skin deep.

    And it depends what you mean by power. Because attracting attention like that IS a certain type of power.

    Also - I think you may be misunderstanding me.
    I'm not talking about "falling head over heels" attention. Not at all.

    By saying that "beauty commands attention" i'm not saying that's all it does. I'm pointing out the obvious here.

    A two headed person attracts more attention than the beautiful. In your view, freaks have more power than the beautiful generally?
    I was asking for more of an elaborated discussion rather than pointing out the obvious and generalised. What is a point of a discussion where all speak the obvious and the simple?

    I didn't say "attracts"

    I said "commands" attention. Really different things.

    Since we're comparing photos:

    Sweet Jesus, Mary and Joseph this girl is fine. Something about her just flips a switch.

    The worst feeling in the world isn't loneliness, it's being forgotten by someone you can't forget.

    command, lead, direct, instruct, demand, attract, are all analogous, since it is the meaning of an object/subject that is being directed at.

    Do you know what's beautiful? When a girl actually has an opinion. Cut some of this weak, damsel-in-distress crap, and admit it -- something about someone with some balls, metaphorically speaking at the minimum, is sexy.
