It is not about Banning skinny people, it is about trying to save the lives of young girls who are starving themselves for the sake of fashion

If you're going to ban "skinny" people you darn well better ban the fat people. I don't want to see that, no one wants to see that.

It is not only the media and designers that have brought this sad situation about, it is also the general public. To me there is little difference between skinny girls who aren't looking after their bodies and denying their health and those at the other end of the scale who are obese, neither really cares for themselves nor posesses personal pride. Bring back the days of Marilyn Munroes and the like where a womens figure was allowed to be full (but not fat) and curvaceous and maybe there will be a change in public attititude. This is the responsibility of the designers, they initiate the market trends for the masses (lets be fair no-one with any decorum wears some of the freak stuff from the catwalk in real life) and they too can sway the "way" women look and what is acceptable, maybe its just a power thing to be able to make someone want to starve themselves to death just to get a job modelling....very sad !!!!

actually, I think this is just an attempt to put some dark spots on Google's work. I mean, during ONE year, i.e. 525600 minutes, and, OMG!!! google.us was unavailable for 30 minutes. On the other hand it shows, that no matter how hard you try and no matter how much money you've got, there's no way you can manage your sites to run flawlessly 100% .

The net environmental impact of divorces depends on whether kids tend to be had before or after a divorce (I'm better on "after").

So! Don't have children, then divorce.
Also, don't have children and then divorce. :-)
