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 !!!!

You probably can't sue Google over an employee placing the location over something run down. Google provides the application but can't control what the millions of people around the world are doing. Perhaps you can have it removed.

As for the history of class actions - they started back in England in the seventeenth century with something called a "bill of peace." This allowed an action to be brought when the parties to litigation were large and all had the same gripe. This prevented the same case from basically being tried over and over again with a huge waste of the courts time.

My God, people! Can't you just lead a normal discussion here? Is it really necessary all the swearing, abuse and offending? You could just say that you agree or disagree and say your reasons, but no, you just need to swear... damn, now I really want to offend everyone... I'd better go.
And yes, the information given in the article might be a bit inaccurate, in my opinion.
Cheers!

women have a limited legal right to abortion in some countries only,but they do not have a human right to abortion,so why dont anti-abortion groups sue,our government on the grounds that abortion is against the unborn childs human rights,and the fathers human rights too,people have a human right to life and happiness,but do not have a human right to commit suicide,or infantacide or abortive murder etc.
