That doesn't account for eye makeup, though. I think it's really all about contrast. We want the non-plain-skin parts of our face to stand out as much as possible. I've seen studies that showed the same black and white picture to people twice, with the second time being modified to have higher contrast. With…

The fact that I don't wear makeup basically means nothing other than the fact that I like to sleep in as late as possible.

The more I read about certain animals, like whales, elephants, crows, octopuses (etc, etc), the more it pains me that they're so threatened by humans. Why can't we just get our population down to a reasonable and supportable number and let these animals live?

'Cause every man (or whoever you want to sleep with) everywhere likes the same look?

"When the alleged victim’s mother was questioned about these changes, she freely admitted that her daughter does not always tell the truth, particularly when she is in a stressful situation."

I just read the wikipedia entry on her life. I think her father loved her, but her life is still sort of sad. She was never treated as an equal- she wasn't allowed to eat at the table with the family, and performed a number of tasks that higher-level servants did.

Or... why not get rid of the idea of mandatory matching expensive bridesmaid's dresses?

Well, once a vegan compared me to a rapist for eating meat. This basically tied that one.

As I wrote elsewhere, how many women did they approach who didn't make it into the video? If a man comes up to me and wants to grope me, that's harassment.

How many women did they approach who didn't make it into the video? If a man comes up to me and wants to grope me, that's harassment. Not to mention, these women were under the implied idea that not going along with it would take away donations towards breast cancer research.

What a great position to put the women in. Let a man sexually assault you or you don't support the fight against breast cancer. I was about to type "What's next?", but really don't think I want to know the answer to that. Can we please PLEASE PLEASE remember that breasts are not necessarily always there for the…

I'm with you. I think it's a combination of the facts that a) the video's crappy enough that you can't really see how cute each one is, and b) it goes on too long. I got bored pretty quickly.

:) That was nothing. Later in this thread I was compared to Ariel Castro for keeping my cats indoors.

A woman at my work recently took time off for breast cancer treatment. When she came back, my manager thought we should all wear pink 'to support her'. When I suggested we all make a couple meals for her to take home instead, suddenly all interest in support dropped. It was pathetic.

In my experience, all girls around that age are close to being sociopaths. I'm not sure what it is, but I can remember exactly how unimaginably mean girls were to each other, even the ones who were 'friends'. I had two 'best friends' at that age, and it was a nonstop battle of 2 against one. The dynamics changed,…

Here's an interesting take on the whole 'early screening' issue:

My biggest pet peeve right now is all the people who post things on facebook about how important it is to 'raise awareness' and how that supports cancer patients/survivors.

That's why you should never introduce them to the outdoors. Then they don't know what's to miss.

You're kidding, right? If you have pet birds, do you let them fly in and out as you choose? What about gerbils, or snakes, or chinchillas, or just about every other pet known to humanity?
