Comment on Obama Signs Law on Kids and Tobacco by Victoria

I’m not quite sure if you’re for or against this bill…but at least you’re acknowledging it. It has been kept kind of hush hush considering the injustices involved.
Bottom line is, this bill is not in the slightest about smoking.
If we wanted to keep our kids from smoking in America, parents would have to stop. Where do you think kids get their cigarettes? Do you think they even have the option most of the time to smoke a cappucino flavored cigarette? Unlikely.
In no way do I believe tobacco companies should gear products or advertising to children but facts are still facts. Never will this world be without teenagers lighting up. Never will this world be without teenagers throwing keggers either. Tell me, if I went out tonight and bought a bottle of that Smirnoff Twist…let’s say raspberry flavor, would I be purchasing an item geared towards children?
I mean, most alcoholic drinks are in some way flavored…No more mixed drinks now? Straight shots of hard alcohol if adults wish to drink?
Well, luckily our “free” country’s constitution includes an amendment which states we can’t ban alcohol..so that’s safe.
I’m failing to see the difference.
Why is it that he didn’t pass a piece of legislation that gives the FDA the right to regulate tobacco and it could include somehting in it like the original text about only selling tobacco products at smoke shops or liquor stores, that way no children are subject to the advertising.
The hypocrisy is so overwhelming. A bill like this passed from someone who is supposed to bring us hope and is a smoker himself? Funny, my level of hope has dwindled now that we can kill babies at 7 months, my great-great grandchildren will be paying off a stimulus package that was completely useless. (Our country is just now leveling out and we should be out of th erecession before December 2010…and the stimulus hasn’t been spent…so what did it stimulate? Congress? Ha!)
I don’t smoke, I don’t drink. This is unbiased unlike most of the opposition. There are just less dictator-like ways to solve simple problems like this.

What are you thinking. We are all civilians whether we support a cause as part of a group or as an individual “citizen”.
This is the kind of thought that separates free speech based on groups or affiliations as though it is different. I don’t understand your need to define a difference. Your statement seems to indicate that why she was there makes any difference, otherwise why state it. I’m sure your heart is in the right place, but there should not be even slight variations in our rights regardless of affiliations.

Comment on Another Swine Reference? by Geoffey

I can’t ever recall any of my teachers having me and my peers take a test, evaluating what we got wrong on that test, and then teaching us what we missed. No one gives test to see where students stand. Maybe pretests,(which I myself only had about five of) but that’s about it. If teachers gave tests before they began to teach lesson, then I would understand the purpose of tests. The only reason I ever took tests was to get a grade. Tests are almost never used to see what improvements need to be made and you know that. And another thing, “…need more schooling”? How old are you, 100?

Comment on A French Law Bans “Too Thin” From Being In by SB

SB — Thu, 07 May 2009 02:53:32 +0000

I always want to be thin, and I never be thin all my life. eventhough i went for any liposuction, i went for any this and that lipo meso etc etc, its never work.

I have friend who want to be fat, but she never fat at all, she looks like bulimic girl, but she ate 6portion of normal man. and drink water like she’s a camel.

I have to work with one model from russia and she’s just 17, she looks like dying, and when she lay down to pose, I only see a bone. and I never display her picture anywhere, It looks scary, her bone is more attracting than the cloths.

most woman always want people to think they’re look good, if someone saying this and that about their body, they’ll think about it day and night.

NearU allows you to set some locations of yours by pointing them on a map. Then it informs you which members are near you allowing you to contact them, and eventually find out for yourself.
