That was the exactly the thought I had. Of nursing my babies as they touched my face with their tiny hands, how could any mother not want to experience that?

This is a ridiculous hangover from some guy not wanting to see his wife's face.

Maybe there is a good reason they don’t want anyone to see her face.

Someone posted a story several weeks ago asking why there are so many ugly people if evolution is true. Compare our society to the veiled society, and see if the percentages are the same.

Probably not a bad idea when the females of your tribe end up looking like "Klinger"

Actually, I think that's why they look like Klinger

No chance for natural selection to work.

If the pre-Muslim inhabitants of Padan-Aram had had this custom, it would have made it easier for Laban when he wanted to marry off Leah—Jacob would never have been the wiser (see Genesis 29).

Just another in a long line of apologies and celebration of ignorance as the new paradigm, or 20 cents, whichever.

Are you serious?

About the plastic surgery - Yes. 15 - 20 years ago I saw a documentary on plastic surgery. They followed three or four people and examined what they were getting done, and why.

One was a Marine Lieutenant Colonel. He had gone as far as he could with lifting and supplements. He went in for pectoral implants and implants on the front of his thighs to add definition. The implants for men were a semi-rigid (slightly flexible) object (made of silicone, I believe). He paid for the work himself and had to take leave to have it done.

The other item I referred to - Yes, John Kerry had artificial tanning before a debate with President Bush. He ended up orange. He kinda looked just like an “Oompa-Loompa.” I’m sure some FReeper will come along and post pictures.

Simply amazing. I guess that I will live with what I was naturally endowed with, and devil take the hindmost.
