While I'm sure there is a better way for her to right the wrongs life has brought into her life, I have to admit I am intrigued.
The value of a woman's body has been put into question since the beginning of time, especially in relation to the pleasure it can offer a man. Sadly, this is mostly done subconsciously by almost every person in our culture. That is why pretty and young makes money in the media.
I would watch this as a social experiment, as she probably sees it on some level (in relation to her degree). Many people seem to be doubting her vaginal virginity, but I think there are far more 22 year old virgins out there than we think.
I was a bit confused by the whole issue regarding the ASBO law and this boy, so I looked up the ASBO law, and it seems this isn't the first over-zealous ruling by neighborhoods on this law.
The only way that this could have been ASBO is if the neighbors considered the posters vandalism or defacing public property. But to me it really seems as if the law is designed to create scapegoats and give neighbors excuses to harp on other neighbors.
I agree that it would be nice to have a similar law in the United States, but this story (and other similar to it) show that too much power can be given to the people.
She is a wonderful sister! She did a beautiful job, and the joy on his face is priceless! The pictures were darling. All these awesome cakes ALMOST make me want to venture into the confectionery world...
As humans, one characteristic many of us admire is generosity. Generosity is not about what your neighbor can give you, but what you can spare for your neighbor.
In a world of limited resources, it would mathematical sense to look at the problem in numbers, what is going in, what is coming out...a chemical equation that is Africa.
But the problem with Africa is not mathematical or biological, its social and there are very human problems caused by humans, and the pain can only be alleviated through human intervention.
On the subject of overpopulation, Bangladesh is the most densely populated country in the world, and they have made amazing strides in keeping population under control by using education and resources brought in by other countries. It took time, but they have had great successes in bringing down the birth rate. Similar resources and education should be provided...
Of course, most of the problems come from who is in power. While the world shakes their head at these horrible people, someone is still buying the diamonds and other resources they do horde to keep them rich.
Because the earth has limited resources, humans should be more keen on figuring out how to save the continent of Africa instead of simply throwing stuff at it or suggesting we turn our heads and plug our ears (while pouring resources into wars and ships to get us off the planet).
Life seems to work in cycles, whether it be biofeedback, human history, or the earth itself recycling. Many believe that human life began in Africa, and ignoring the continent may be the beginning of the end.
I keep missing my chance to meet him. Ray Bradbury was the first science fiction author I read, and he has made me a loyal fan to the genre. Very funny commercial!
I am sure farmers noticed how cows stand, as I've read live stock behavior has helped farmers predict weather and such throughout history. The main article even says that certain weather does effect the direction of cows, and clear weather is the best time to see them 'aligned'.
Maybe cows have direction-preference like people have hand-preferences...right handed people tend to prefer to go right (instead of left) in a store, something used against us in retail.
Or maybe they are herd animals, and it is a long-standing tradition for cows to stand in such 'alignment' on clear days. hahaha
In the oven? Seriously? I was a bit surprised by the title, and then alarmed by the comments. I've heard of hiding items in the freezer, between mattresses, and even inside toilet tanks (for the more shady individual)...
blaisepascal, I have the same practice of putting my banking dishes in the oven, but that just seems common sense, and anything heating won't explode!
The guard over reacted, and now he is reaping the consequences of his mistakes. She had every right to wear her shirt, whether or not she is a lesbian. The word is neither vulgar or offensive to anyone it describes. Truthfully, she was actually doing a service to the community by trying to educate others about a very important topic right now.
I believe her quote about how she is treated in every day life. As a woman, a homosexual, and a minority she has 3 strikes against her in our society. Being insensitive to her statement does not make it false.
I couldn't stop laughing...how do you come back from that? Everyone was almost in tears. He was pretty brave throughout the whole situation. I would have just gone off stage and taken my pants off.
Beautiful cat, though I am intrigued by the ears and whiskers in the left corner of the video for the first 20 something seconds... That kitty was like "i know how a fridge works, but what's this do!?!?!" *sniff camera*
I didn't mind the underwear, but I LOOOOOOOOOVED the three cats from the first half the the film. They were just so classic! hahaha
The cat probably wanted to play, then was thoroughly perplexed by his human's need to pop in and out of view.
