From the perspective of the benefit of the country as a whole, wouldn't it make more sense to give priority to younger men who have more years to reproduce and likely have younger, more fertile wives?
I won't be satisfied until science has discovered a way to give men the ability to jizz in different colors. I'm tired of pearl necklaces. Throw me a string of emeralds or sapphires every now and then.
@TheFormerJuneBronson: You successfully did the explain-why-it's-funny-thing without making it not funny in the process! Congratulations, it's not an easy task. :)
I hope Obama will the be the one to really change our policy on Cuba. My grandmother's generation still supports the embargo and some travel restrictions, but I think people my age are ready for it to be over already. I know I would love to visit someday.
And I love that she named the blog Generacion Y in part after all those "Y" names...I knew so many people in high school named Yanisleidy, Yanellis, Yainee.
@katie.scarlett.o'hara: It would be about damn time. This has lasted way too long.About the Y names: let's not forget about shot putter Yumileidy Cumbá, that's a great example ;)
I got into a raging, biscotti-stabbing argument with my sister last week about the sex lives of ballet dancers. She insisted that the vast majority of male dancers (I desperately want to call them ballerinos, but I shall abstain) are gay, gay, gay. GAY.
I told her that that premise was as illogical and unlikely as saying the vast majority of female ballet dancers are gay. And while I grant that I was trying to annoy her, I do still think that she's wrong and that they can't all be gay. Are they? If so, I don't think that's fair, and I would like to know who to write a letter about it.
@Harlot Brontë: It's a common stereotype, but the majority of danseurs (male ballet dancers) are actually straight. In all my years of dancing, however, I have known several gay danseurs but have yet to meet a lesbian ballerina.
@Harlot Brontë: I currently dance with a medium-sized company in the US. Every man currently in the company is straight; in fact, most of them are married (to female dancers in the company, no less). From my observations, the number of gay men in the ballet world isn't much higher (if at all) than the number of gay men in any other profession; however, I think the men who are gay feel more comfortable embracing it since it is "accepted" that gay men dance. Ballet is HARD and in my opinion your sexual orientation has no bearing on whether you are willing to put in the time, pain, and sweat that it takes to become a dancer.

Lovely costume, but my ballet mistresses would have taken their sticks to that bent wrist.
