It's not just chocolate that makes us fat, it's the amount we eat, and not only choc but what about the cakes, pastries, biscuits,alchohol etc. Also lack of exercise a major factor. As a country we get tax'd i don't get is the low fat alternatives are always more expensive, an example i buy low fat greek natural yoghurt, the full fat is more expensive and mascapone cheese the light version is more expensive than the full fat , maybe the goverment should step in and say look we have choices but don't expoilt the healthier versions xx

I just don't get it.
A man would raise his hands to me once and only once. It would be the last thing they did. There are no second chances, there are no excuses.
I don't understand women who stay. Whilst I appreciate there are perhaps financial/security issues given as reasons to stay I don't get it. Why would you stay with a man who beats you? Same goes for men who stay with abusive women.
Love would certainly have to be blind but I suspect stupid to be more accurate. I'm sure someone will be along to berate me for my opinion but seriously... pull yourself together, have some respect for yourself and leave. There are options and they're far better than staying for a beating. Zero tolerance should be right across the board, inlcuding the women who put up with it.
Black and white possibly but in my world it really is that simple.

My sister wants to have her 18 month old daughter's ears pierced, because she thinks it will "look nice".
I am appalled, but, I'm told, it's me that's out of kilter with the rest of society.
So - help me out here - am I in the minority thinking it's barbaric to put holes in babies' ears?
In edit - I really don't mean any offence to anyone who has had it done - I just don't understand it.

....And how long will it be before the police actually do something about this menace on our roads ??? Where is British justice when these lunatics are allowed to terrorise the public roads ??

Massive generalisation alert! :P SOME bikers ride like wankers, not all of us do

This came up in our house for the first time roughly 4 years ago.
My eldest had a boyfriend, and wanted him to stay over in her bedroom in our family home.
My other kids were at that time 15, and 17.
I said no, as I did not want him around my house in a morning when we were all getting up. Also because even though I knew they were having sex, I didnt want it going on when I was around, and also, I did not think it was setting a good example to my other 2 kids.
His parents were completely different, and she started staying at his nearly all the time very quickly into their relationship. They had kids the same age as mine also.
They are all classed as adults now, but still are not allowed boyfriends/girlfriends to stay over.
My friends mainly think I am crazy to not allow them to stay over now they are adults, and we fall out at times about some of my attitudes to parenting.
What would you do, or infact have done, or are doing now when yours want the boy/girl friends to stay over?

If you were to make the perfect man what would he consist of? Try to keep it to two things and lets see if a complete person can be made.
