No, just the ones in the cherrypicked examples for this article, perhaps.
- untog 11y agoSure, but the OPs implication was that this kind of thing is unavoidable because of genetic impulse. It is absolutely avoidable.
- the_af 11y agoNot cherrypicked. The article mentions they were surprised by the amount of inappropriate flirting. They only cherrypicked the most "amusing" attempts.
- oldmanjay 11y agoI'm always amused when someone rebuts their own thesis in their conclusion. Thanks for the laugh!
- the_af 11y agoYou're welcome, but of course I didn't rebut my own thesis: 1- Post says: "Sub-subtitle being "human beings utterly unable to overcome base impulses despite higher order brain functions", then?" 2- A reply says: "No, just the ones in the cherrypicked examples for this article, perhaps." 3- My post says (paraphrased for comprehension): "These aren't examples cherrypicked to show people unable to refrain from inappropriate base impulses. The only cherrypicking is for amusement. The rest of the article explains that the number of people surrendering to inappropriate base impulses was surprisingly high. So the sub-subtitle remains correct." 4- Your post. Do you see it now? Laughter is always welcome, so feel free to continue :)
- oldmanjay 11y agoOh, I saw what you intended in your original post. I was just amused at how poorly you phrased it.
