Oh, I'm not, but I worry other people will. Guys like this arsehole are why we can't have nice things.

Oh Twitter...seems to be the tool of self-destruction of choice for celebs these days.

WHAT'S THAT? SPEAK UP, I CAN'T HEAR YOU.

I love how his/her little tail goes "thwap! thwap!" on each stair. Hilarious.

Yeah, that must be it. 'Scuze mewhile I go take some Metamucil and yell at the kids to get off my lawn.

It can be, for sure. I'd trust your friend. But for me it was often a way to burn extra calories and "get away" with being so skinny (well, I just have a yoga body, yadda yadda).

True. Just because Lance Armstrong is a cheating dick doesn't mean I can't still enjoy my bike.

Yes, but you have to be able to tuck your head all the way up your ass to fit into it.

Yuppies, Lululemon, new-agey bullshit, a cover for eating disorders...in other words a perfectly fine physical and sprirtual practice has been appropriated and bastardized to the point of uselessness by Western Nations.

But it isn't a religious requirement of Islam, and in most places where it is worn, it is because the patriarchal culture (usually centred around the convictions of a small-ish group of extremist men) dictates that it should be.

Yup; this was the norm at my Bikram studio too. Talk about a "one size may not fit all" approach.
