Members bluedogaudio Posted August 5, 2009 Members Share Posted August 5, 2009 Have you or anyone else seen anyone who looks better after plastic surgery? No. I think everyone should be proud of who they are. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He may not be ridiculously funny, but his writing forged some of the greatest SNL skits of all time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Moderators ThudMaker Posted August 5, 2009 Moderators Share Posted August 5, 2009 Since everyone here seems to be against plastic surgery, I'm curious as to what the same people would list as plastic surgeries besides face lifts, boob jobs, nose jobs and chin jobs. What other plastic surgeries are disgraceful? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What other plastic surgeries are disgraceful? not against plastic surgery - against bad/botched plastic surgery.

Burn victims, animal attacks, etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members venturawest Posted August 5, 2009 Members Share Posted August 5, 2009 We tax luxury items, like cars over a certain price (I believe it's around $38,000) and boats, airplanes and certain other items considered "luxuries". As a surgeon, and one qualified to do certain facial plastic surgical procedures, I feel strongly that the vast majority of truly cosmetic procedures which are not covered by insurances - such as Botox injections for wrinkles specifically, facelifts, certain brow lifts and blepharoplasties (for non-visual obstruction) - are luxury items. This is entirely different from essential plastic surgical operations that qualify as necessary - reconstruction after cancer being a good example - and most of those procedures are covered under insurance.

What's acceptable and what's not. Anything's acceptable in my book. I wouldn't do it unless I got disfigured somehow, but whatever someone wants to do to their body is their deal.

Members db. Posted August 5, 2009 Members Share Posted August 5, 2009 I don't get Al Franken. I never found his sense of humor to be that funny. Al Franken isn't funny when he does skits, etc. But he's actually an accomplished comedic writer. He's written tons of sketches for SNL and other things.But when he does his own stuff it fall flat, at least to me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm sure with the years spent on SNL he wrote some good stuff for people who actually had the talent to deliver the goods. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm sure with the years spent on SNL he wrote some good stuff for people who actually had the talent to deliver the goods. His books are really damn funny too if you can stomach reading them. He's a great writer (or has a great editor), but is just a little left of center. The Sean Hannity piece of Lies and the Lying Liars Who Tell Them is f'ing priceless.
