I agree with what you've said. Man, it is absolutely pathetic!
I would have stuck my fingers down my throat at her if I saw her pass me by but she'd probably go off at me with a string of every four letter word under the sun!
I don't tend to like too many Australian women as it is. Give me a nice, trim and healthy FKK girl any day with a happy, gentle spirit.

i can tell you right now thats why I know I am much happier than I was when I was in school. and I was quite happy in school... which is saying something. but yeah, there was definately people who would nit pick. I actually think my personality was stiffled by people at school. we shouldnt have to aim for a certain benchmark. and i think when you realise that you will be a much happier individualpokinatcha said:I was thinking about things today...
I found myself suddenly asking the question, when was the last time someone actually made an effort to tell me that I'm alright just as I am? I thought about it and I really couldn't recall the last time that happened if ever. Without even knowing it, I've always felt that I was just that little bit off being alright and I could probably get there if I hung around the right people, got the right clothes...maybe changed my personality a bit...
I'm gonna take a guess and say I'm probably not alone in this. But it makes you wonder who the culprit is for making us feel this way...I guess most of it is the media and companies trying to sell us products by telling us it will improve our life somehow and we'd be incomplete without it.
But at what point were we told what the benchmark was that we have to aim for to feel adequate with our body, personality and posessions?
Makes you wish everyone would just get off our backs and start telling you that you're good how you are right now, and don't change a thing!

I'm still trying to work out how the concept of non-conformity works...Western Deity said:I think some of you make false idols of the concept of non-conformity...

I really doubt that people who are overweight would consider being proud of themselves 'a fashion', that's a pretty narrow minded thing to say. It's not like when summer comes around they're going to change their body type for the new fashion. We're not trying to debate everyone's originality here or who can be the most different with their opinion of themselves. We're trying to have a serious discussion about society, body image and self worth which I consider to be a very serious matter. So please don't make it out to be a humorous petty issue.Western Deity said:Being proud of being fat is a fashion. Calling supermodels "skeletons" is just the latest fad.

Why should people allow themselves to be controlled by the media and what others wear? I remember when the test bombing on the Island Bikini Atoll blew up modesty and women started to run around in bikini's....all media stuff encouraged it. Now...they w
