Its funny that he thought no one would notice both profiles are fake. Whats even funnier is both profiles signed off at the same time as soon as I said something. What an idiot.
If you have a (creative), vision and you bring out the eyes, and soften the background (opening the lens/less depth of field), you are almost guaranteed a striking portrait.
It's clear that Kid looks at whomever the latest person is to join the thread and wether we mention him or not, he looks to find a 'button' to push. It's a clear sign of his need to get attention (even if it's negative) and plays into his narcissism when anyone responds. The best way to beat him is to not even engage him. Besides, I thought the point of this thread was to gawk at the hot men in this book, not play 4th grade games!?
Wow - sounds like Kid has some major issues.. Typical internet Troll. Surprisingly, unlike the other trolls that roam these threads, he actually has nerve showing his face.

Kid - very fitting name. Do us all a favor and stay in Wyoming.
wow...this thread is still going? you guys won't sound off on gay marriage or taxation or health care, but call someone a ho and suddenly everyone's full of passion.
i wasn't SAYING that i would get money out of your
pocket...though that would be NICE XD
strange? yes. amazing? also, yes.
ew i am SO not organized. YAY I'M EXCITED!!
kid:yes i do music!! music is pretty much my MO and what i do. i would LOVE to go to the rihanna concert with you...though i dunno where i'll get the money. we could go to lady gaga....=D and yes...invite axel. i'm probably going to be at tracks next weekend =D it should be changed now so you can add me.
kiddo: yup that's just how i do...multitaskin like a crazy
bitch! well..add me, and we'll talk about it and chill...mayb we
can go to tracks and dance together or somethin. monogamous relationship sounds AMAZIN XD.
Axel: were you talking to me? cuz i wanna listen too.
that's...horrible. i can't imagine being in that position...except for that when i came out to my mom as being gay before i transitioned she said she'd pull me out of school...
Kid: i totally agree with you that we need to stand up for
ourselves and what we believe and feel. i wasn't raised the same way you were but i decided a while ago that i was done with telling half-truths and lying. i always tell the truth (my profile says that too) i guess i should probably edit my profile, i wrote that a while ago and copied it but...i kinda helps if people know who i'm intersted in XD but whatever. and yeah...i hate labeling too...which is why i will accept none but "female" anymore
i think that's a bad idea. LGBT people should be
a comminity because we share a lot of the same hardships
and if we don't nothing will ever get done.
Kid: yeah i think the same thing about transgender people being really strong, however, i think that it's safest not
to assume how people feel or identityf. personally i love
EVERYONE gay, straight, male, female, gender-queer, w/e i don't care how someone identifies i give them an equal chance until they prove that i shouldn't like them anymore.
i think that a lot of the animosity toward gay people from
transgender people is because a lot of gay people feel like transgender women don't have an identity as female and it simply being a really femme gay guy and enforcing stereotypes. which isn't true.
but as for me, i don't consider myself straight. the only identifier that i identify with is that of being female

Is 11/11 a big day in terms of celebration? Or is it quiet celebration?

A lot of gays are rejecting the notion that gays are a community, so I think the notion that glbt are all a community is probably not a reality.
In 1918 Józef Pilsudski comes to Warsaw and assumes supreme military power in Poland. Poland regains its independence, celebrated each year on this day.
and i'm sorry i didn't realize that the guy who was asking
was polish and wasn't his first language. that's why i explained it.
so...i'm sorry. that was my bad.
i was kinda saying that we should be educated about
each other if we are a community.
but for the general consideration, don't put an "ed" on the
end of "transgender" because it implies that something was
done to us.

The definition she gave is what I go by. Once I asked a question using that definition and somebody else scolded me saying it meant something else. So I give up on meanings, they change all the time.
But why would one lead one to know about the other? Why would gays automatically know what trangendered means especially if it is a word not in your first language?
He's comparing himself not being transgender to you not being Polish . . . But he fails to realize that Transgendered people are part of the GLBT community just like he is.
ok to be transgender means that someone is
physiologically and/or biologically, male, lets say but
their psychological and mental makeup is that of the
opposite sex, or gender.
sex is characterized by physical makeup, where gender is
characterized by how one expresses themselves or the
identity that they, personally, have.
so, using those terms, a transgender person is someone who's
sex is not the same as their gender.
It's obvious what's wrong with him. He's ugly and jealous of good looking people. I'm not saying I'm beautiful, but I'm not hating guys who are handsome because they are handsome. He's ugly inside and out and desperately craves attention.
@ Mike - so the rumors are true, eh?
Does anyone know who the blonde hottie is in the first picture above? He doesn't know it yet, but he's my future husband.
