Why is it that can call a woman a whore, a slut, a bitch, a skank...

Thank you Captain Paraphrase.

:P

sorry i'll try to remeber to put grammer in from now on.

It's nothing to apologize for and it's no vice to me. It was just a friendly suggestion as it is only a vice to yourself in the end.

Thats true, and it would be better if I stared to use better grammer.

I never had a problem with my weight until i went to university. at home, everyone was my size. but at uni, all girls are uk size eight to ten. sadly, people, especially alot of the boys at college, do judge girls on weight. sad thing is that women from size ten upwards to about 18 odd are actually the healthiest- they are more likely to conceive, often have more energy etc. theres lots of plus's.
I must admit, despite being a strong minded girl, being among so many thin girls has dragged me down alot. the media has to stop now.

The media doesn't change the general opinion of beauty, it only reflects it.

thats like saying it only reflects the current opinion of fashion, but we all know that big companies on catwalk show dictate the years fashions. i think its common knowledge that being a stick is a bad thing, but people still do it because stars do it, and they appear in the media. a vicious circle

It's sort of like smoking then. I think that if you are given all the facts, whatever you decide after you weigh and consider them is nobody's fault but your own. That is why I am against things such as attacking the media and big tobacco.

Yes, agreed. I guess to some extent you can choose which way you go. but sometimes the pressure is so great to be perfect. womens weakness- wanting perfection/insecurity
mens weakness- competitive streak. and a few more :D

Yes, and many other various weaknesses unique to each person. Normally I would give examples here, but I think I'm going to go to sleep instead.

pluto...5'7" and 130? Having never seen a photograph of you, that's a great figure! You can probably spare a few very large pieces of pecan pie (or whatever your preferred desrt is), just let yourself enjoy them. Food is too delicious to worry about.

And to Music Man - this weekend I'm going to go watch John Kerry give a speech. If you'd like to come, I'm sure no one would mind :D

I love food. I also love my ability to consume large quantities of food and maintain my figure without the aid of cocaine or ephedra.

By the way, where is Senator Kerry making such the speech?

It makes me wonder how many Kerry Edwardses there are in the United States - and how many of them bought posters, signs, or stickers from the campaign...

I know I would.
