Fat is a discrimination issue

fat=bad behaviors?
Today's assumption: if you are fat, you are doing something bad.
A study: Fatness is contagious!!!

clipped from rioiriri.blogspot.com I was thinking about the things that a fat person cannot do without others looking down on them or making mean comments. Here is my list; feel free to add to it! - eat any food, even "healthy" food - engage in athletic activity ("ewww look at all that fat jiggling") - exercise in a gym or other public place ("who do you think you're kidding?") - wear revealing clothing ("ewww gross") - wear overly casual clothing (we get called slobs, while skinny people get a pass on wearing sweatpants in public) - be sick ("maybe if you'd lose weight, you would be healthy") - go to a doctor or emergency room ("It looks like you have a broken nose. You should lose weight.") - date someone who is not fat ("what is wrong with him, doesn't he notice?" "he can do better than that"), especially someone who is regarded as good-looking (even a good-looking fat man is regarded as dating beneath his station if he dates a fat girl) - have or adopt children, OR decide to not have children

EU and US miles of sensibility apart?

EU is so keen in being like the US that is loosing her soul too. This is the drama. Also, I think there are many americans mourning our loss

clipped from www.signandsight.com Arno Widmann comments on The New York Times' obituary of Michelangelo Antonioni The New York Times entitled its obituary of Italian film director Michelangelo Antonioni - whose literary works are unfortunately little-known - with the words: "A Chronicler of Alienated Europeans in a Flimsy New World." The title underscores the hopelessness of Old Europe's position. Even before the article began, it made clear how small and thoroughly passé the Old Europe - and one of its most astute representatives - look in the new world of the present.

Yes, More books

It is always useful to share information with others and have help in one's search

clipped from bookyards.blogspot.com BookYards library for today is Free Novels Online. This is a small library, but it's content is unique and modern in taste. It relies on submissions from others, makes links to their sites, and has gone to the trouble of categorizing their novels. When you browse and go through the site, you wish that its content was 100x more. For access to more free online libraries, go to BookYards Libraries/By Category Page.

women are vicious

clipped from news.bbc.co.uk Tell tale brain activity in a fake orgasm A simple brain scan can spot whether a woman is faking an orgasm or not, a major fertility conference has heard. Genuine orgasm: less brain actvity In women, turning off fear and anxiety is key, while men need to know they will be physically stimulated. The women were also asked to fake an orgasm so that these scan results could be compared with those taken during genuine orgasms. There were obvious differences. Professor Holstege said: "Women can imitate orgasm quite well." "If you look at the women who faked orgasm intentionally you see the motor cortex - the conscious part of the brain - is activated. "This means the movements that we make in [real] orgasm are not conscious. "And if you are fearful, it is very hard to have sex. It's very hard to let go." "When you want to make love to a woman, you must give her the feeling of being protected."

clipped from news.bbc.co.uk Medical research using hybrid embryos that are a mixture of human and animal is "vital" in the fight against disease, scientists have said. The Academy of Medical Sciences said it backed the draft Human Tissue and Embryos Bill allowing embryos that were 99.9% human and 0.1% animal. Under plans, it would be illegal for embryos to grow for more than 14 days. The report says that, in the future, the "true" hybrids - containing more animal DNA - may be vital for research.
