Would saving civilization make you hot?

Unread postby Kylon » Thu 07 Jun 2007, 18:48:37

I was wondering if saving civilization would make you hot to women?

Would they find you attractive because you saved their hides?


Just wondering.

If Chakotay saved my life? Yes. Oh GOD yes. I can think of many wonderfuk ways to repay him.

If G.W. Bush saved my life? No. Dear GOD no. I'd be grateful, but not attracted, to him.

If ordinary Joe Schmoe stepped up to the plate and saved me, I may well find him attractive because of his actions - assuming they arose from good character and an endeavour to do the right thing. An asshole who saves your life is still an asshole.

Hell yeah, if the situation involved a nuclear reactor, a decorative blonde pounding on a porthole yelling "Nooooo!" and a red LCD stopping at 00:00:03, I'd be smokin', baby! [smilie=5hot.gif]

Was Jonas Salk "hot"? Was Louie Pasteur "hot"? No?

I suspect the factors that make one "hot" do not include saving civilization.

Let us look at whoever the tabloids deem as being "hot". Have any of them contributed to saving civilization in whole or in part? No?

I'm curious, was that spelling of wonderful a freudian slip or just a typo.

It made me blush I can tell ya.

*Ahem* whoops!! :oops:

A freudian typo - made me giggle now that you've pointed it out. I think I'll leave it :oops:

I don't see how... :)
The problem is, of course, that not only is economics bankrupt, but it has always been nothing more than politics in disguise... economics is a form of brain damage.

Do you plan to save civilization, Kylon?

you have to take into account the fact that most people don't realize civilization is doomed. Wait until things are going downhill and everyone realizes it's done and maybe if you stop it you will end up a hero and hot. It's probably far easier not to save civilization but just a small group of people. Become leader and start your harem that way. This is why you're asking right?

If it's any consolation, women might have to sleep with you in order to secure protection/food/soft and smooth toilet paper. It's may not be a meaningful relationship, but it's still better than nothing, no?

Probably the most "hot" guy in the Battle To Advance Civilization was Nikola Tesla. Tall, dark, flashing eyes, brushy black hair brushed back briskly, all that.

I think if Tesla were alive today he'd be a peak oiler, he talked about the problem of increasing human energy, and I think he'd come to the conclusion that we justh have to gear back in our use of energy and save the fancy stuff like electricity for "signal" rather than "power" applications.
