Yes it is.

It might be technically but if you're color blind .....

How color blindness works:

• The human eye sees by light stimulating the retina (a neuro-membrane lining the inside back of the eye). The retina is made up of what are called Rods and Cones. The rods, located in the peripheral retina, give us our night vision, but can not distinguish color. Cones, located in the center of the retina (called the macula), are not much good at night but do let us perceive color during daylight conditions.
• Many people think anyone labeled as "colorblind" only sees black and white - like watching a black and white movie or television. This is a big misconception and not true. It is extremely rare to be totally color blind. There are many different types and degrees of colorblindness, really they are "color deficiencies" since virtually no one is truly blind to all colors.
• People with normal cones and color vision are able to see all the different colors and subtle mixtures of them by using cones sensitive to one of three wavelength of light - red, green, and blue.
• A mild color deficiency is present when one or more of the three cones functions "poorly". A more severe color deficiency is present when one of the cones does not function at "all" or is missing.
• Protanomaly (one out of 100 males):
  Protanomaly is referred to as "red-weakness", an apt description of this form of color deficiency. Any redness seen in a color by a normal observer is seen more weakly by the protanomalous viewer, both in terms of its "coloring power" (saturation, or depth of color) and its brightness. Red, orange, yellow, yellow-green, and green, appear somewhat shifted in hue ("hue" is just another word for "color") towards green, and all appear paler than they do to the normal observer. The redness component that a normal observer sees in a violet or lavender color is so weakened for the protanomalous observer that he may fail to detect it, and therefore sees only the blue component. Hence, to him the color that normals call "violet" may look only like another shade of blue.
  Under poor viewing conditions, such as when driving in dazzling sunlight or in rainy or foggy weather, it is easily possible for protanomalous individuals to mistake a blinking red traffic light from a blinking yellow or amber one, or to fail to distinguish a green traffic light from the various "white" lights in store fronts, signs, and street lights that line our streets. Do not let them adjust the color on the television, because it will look far to redish or violet for the rest of the family members.
• Deuteranomaly (five out of 100 of males):
  Let the deuteranomalous person adjust your television and he would add more green and subtract red. He is considered "green weak". Similar to the protanomalous person, he is poor at discriminating small differences in hues in the red, orange, yellow, green region of the spectrum. He makes errors in the naming of hues in this region because they appear somewhat shifted towards red for him - difficulty in distinguishing violet from blue.
  From a practical stand point though, many protanomalous and deuteranomalous people breeze through life with very little difficulty doing tasks that require normal color vision. Some may not even be aware that their color perception is in any way different from normal. The only problem they have is passing a color vision test.
• Dicromasy - can be divided into protanopia and deuteranopia (two out of 100 males):
  These individuals normally know they have a color vision problem and it can effect their lives on a daily basis. They see no perceptible difference between red, orange, yellow, and green. All these colors that seem so different to the normal viewer appear to be the same color for this two percent of the population.
• Protanopia (one out of 100 males):
  For the protanope, the brightness of red, orange, and yellow is much reduced compared to normal. This dimming can be so pronounced that reds may be confused with black or dark gray, and red traffic lights may appear to be extinguished. They may learn to distinguish reds from yellows and from greens primarily on the basis of their apparent brightness or lightness, not on any perceptible hue difference. Violet, lavender, and purple are indistinguishable from various shades of blue because their reddish components are so dimmed as to be invisible e.g. Pink flowers, reflecting both red light and blue light, may appear just blue to the protanope.
• Deuteranopia (one out of 100 males):
  The deuteranope suffers the same hue discrimination problems as the protanope, but without the abnormal dimming. The names red, orange, yellow, and green really mean very little to him aside from being different names that every one else around him seems to be able to agree on. Similarly, violet, lavender, purple, and blue, seem to be too many names to use logically for hues that all look alike to him.

Grass is green because it is envious of trees which are much taller and don't get stepped on like grass does. Trees don't get mowed every week in the summertime and sprayed with Weed-be-gone.

Also, grass is green because it is filled with chlorophyll not chloroform that is a green pigment that reflects green light from the sun and absorbs the other colors. Yeah, right, if you believe that one, you're pretty green yourself.


Green grass actually comes from elves, who are themselves green. They sprinkle faerie dust over the earth at night and some lands on plants and turns them green. In the Winter, the elves hybernate so grass is usually brown during this time.

Re: Grass is Green
 

Liberal propaganda doesn't change the fact that grass truly is green.

Others perceptions do not change that reality.

You are so intelligent! I never would have known this! Thank you for sharing! Now I will be able to rest tonight! Ahh! :)

Re: Grass is Green
 

Just like we are saved by grace through faith and not baptismal regeneration???

"The deuteranope"

Dan has a new name.

It's Deuteranope Dan.






catchy

Re: Grass is Green
 

Someone compared me to the clown guy from the Simpsons recently ... what's his name?

Re: Grass is Green
 

Compromisors will only see grass in the winter when it is devoid of its lushish green beauty. They will never admit that grass is MEANT to be green.

Truth-lovers will always view grass as green and will work hard to perserve it as such so that the whole world will know that our grass is different, our yards are separate and that we are peculiar.

I don't know if i agree with that comparison, though, because Sideshow Bob is a genius.

Gotta love that hair.

I wonder if he meets Pentecostal code with that hairdo?

I mean, technically, it is off his collar and all.

That's Crusty .... AE perhaps. I know he bathes infrequently.

Re: Grass is Green
 

Grass and most other plants are green because they contain a pigment
known as chlorophyll. The chlorophyll is used in the process of
photosynthesis where a plant produces sugar in the presence of
sunlight. In fact the word 'photosynthesis' means literally to
synthesize or 'make' from light (photo). There are, of course some
plants which do not contain chlorophyll, and these generally get their
nutrition (food) by other means. Some examples are the fungi which
decompose dead, and sometimes living, tissue, for their food.
You will find that a green plant needs light to make food. If the
source of light is cut off, the plant dies. Mushrooms, which are
fungi, do not require light to make food (they decompose matter
as I mentioned above) and you can find mushrooms growing in almost
total darkness.



Real Pentecostals are colorful, counterfeits are dark fungi.

My, how I love your sense of humor!!!

Re: Grass is Green
 

I'm a fun guy.

Re: Grass is Green
 

Crusty has hair.

The comparison doesn't wash.
(pardon the pun)

Re: Grass is Green
 

Please forgive me for saying you are a kid-entertaining, make-up-wearing jester. I will go back and erase the inference.

Normally, I just run and grab my holy water and crucifix. I throw the holy water at my screen and grasp the crucifix firmly while incanting Acts 2:38.

Is this before or after your head does a 360?

Re: Grass is Green
 

Re: Grass is Green
 

360 or 180?

I need to know before I answer.

Flexibility suffers as one grows older.
