Why do people dislike minimalist design?

I must admit that I am always captivated by the modernity and simplicity of a well-designed minimalist space. In fact, I believe that the emergence of minimalism reflects a certain mindset of those who adhere to the minimalist religion: a sense of the “less is more” theory, and the reliance on the imagination for perceived beauty (as in modern art, which I also adore). So why is it that when I am downtown with friends, and I point into a shop window saying “That’s interesting,” they’ll reply with, “No, it’s boring.” Not only that, but then they’ll point to some ornate, carved thing, made of only the finest mahogany and say, “That’s beautiful!” (I, of course, will reply with, “No, it’s excessive, and probably ugly too.”) So, what I want to know is, Why is there all this hatred and prejudice against minimalism in today’s modern society?

British Asians - do you feel like Shilpa Shetty sold you out, like I do?

3 Facts:
1 - She was in CBB to raise her profile in the UK & (eventually) USA
2 - She WAS bullied by the 3 girls, and it WAS RACIST
3 - Forgiveness will give her maximum GOOD PUBLICITY and make her come out of this looking good.

But she, and her PR people, have missed the whole point - Asians are the victims of racist abuse by a small (but significant) minority of Britains. They are out there, and their views are not going away. By glossing over this fact, and especially by forgiving Jade she is undermining British Asians and condoning the behaivour of the racists. This is unacceptable. Those who supported her have really been let down, and SOLD OUT. She is thinking of her career only. She will be able to go back to her A list lifestyle, brushing these issues under the carpet is like saying they don't exist when they do. Saying that Jade is not a racist and saying it was a simple mistake is such a disloyalty, now all racists can claim it was a mistake like Jade.SHAME ON U SHILPA

what ever happened to natural beauty?

what ever happened to natural beauty?

today's ideal in America is big boobs (not big enough? lets stuff silicone in them!), blonde hair, a sloped nose, blue eyes, and lots of make up.

I mean how sad is it that a girl feels she needs to get surgery to become a clone just to feel pretty?

I want to know why we stopped appreciating natural beauty. the natural womanly shape, and everything we were born with, or at least things that compliment what we were born with instead of making us look like porn stars. your thoughts on this? what do YOU think is pretty?

Is it safe to try to contact extraterrestrial beings?

In today's astrophysics, many people are trying to contact ETs. But haven't anyone thought of its consequence. There is every possiblity that they can bring harm to us rather than harmony. Is'nt that how we look after animals? So why should we try to contact Aliens!?

How can we check the virginity of a girl?

Usually doctors can check whether a girl is a virgin or not. But as far as a common man is considered, is there a way which i can use to check it? This probably should help me in my first night after marriage.

i'm having trouble breathing?

i went to the hospital like 3 times for this and they took xray blood tests....everything but a catscan and i came back as "normal" i went to a doctor and he said it's probably bad allergies, but heres the thing.. i'm not sneezing. my problem is i feel like somethings pressing down on my chest and i can't get full breaths. it's worse late night early morning. other than this i also have phlegm in the throat, and slightly burning eyes, and a slight headache, but nasal spray for post nasal drip do NOTHING. allergy pills did NOTHING. the doctor told me i wasnt wheezing so it's probably not asthma, but i'm not sneezing and it only seems to half resemble asthma. it's driving me pretty nuts (although it's not stress i assure you) but it feels just like someones pressing down on my chest and my breathings limited. it's especially bad right now probably at 50% yet the hospital/doctors found nothing. any idea what it could be? i dusted my whole house and i haven't the slightest clue.
