Tara Reid Looking Super Skinny in a Bikini

On the website skinnyvscurvy.com they featured this “article” about Tara Reid in her bikini, going:

“38 year-old Tara Reid recently posted a few bikini pictures on Twitter, where the blonde star reveals an ultra thin frame.”

That’s it…. really.
Many of the articles are simply pictures to drive traffic to their website, and then there is room beneath for users to comment, saying how she “looks like a deflated doll” , “awful” etc.

So based on the person and pictures in question, the responses will vary amongs the commenters. If the person looks hot in them, they will praise. If the person looks too skinny or fat, they often result in insults. Tara her picture presentation is linked by many commenters to being unhealthy.

Some examples:

“She looks awful. But she has not looked too good since about 2004 with her plastic surgery and weight loss. Too bad, she was a pretty young woman at one point.”

“Looks unnatural and unhealthy. I hope she is okay….
And what have some woman with wanting to be ultra skinny and having big boobs ?! (other examples: Nicole Richie and Angelina Jolie – although I love both those woman and I’m jealous of their facial beauty)”

“it doenst look right.her head doesnt fit to the body.i think you can see if its not natural.and please dont come with”maybe shes natural skinny” .i hope shes gonna be healtyh some day”

I understand the observation, and maybe they are right. But…

What I want to point attention towards is the fact that magazines, blogs, papers … often place pictures of these celebrities online or printed, with praise about their figure or a very superficial article. Paying no attention to the person behind it, and for example if they may be having body issues and/or an eating disorder. So one may in fact be praised for starving themselves or binge purging. And someone who will look “beautiful” to the eye of many, may in fact be more unhealthy than someone who look less pretty.

It is also no free room to just spout whatever we think about a person, to start to gossip  in the comment section and call people all kinds of names. Sometimes we feel like we are practicing our free speech, but forget to realize how we are socialized in a certain environment and adopt many things from our environment. So  in order to really find out if our speech is so “free” as we claim it is, we should not just automatically say what pops up in our brains at all times, but think about it and realize the effects we have with our words and if it is something we want to support in this world. In which way is calling people a “beached whale” or “inflated doll” in any way supportive? And I have read nastier things than that. So it is good to place yourself in the shoes of another, and question your own behavior. To not just accept whatever from yourself, but also be critical towards your own doing.

The media has a responsibility as well. Now they can make money out off this, but I don’t think it should be forever allowed. If an outer-space civilization would find us, it wouldn’t be one of the examples I would give about “what we do on earth or who we are as humans” (just giving a crazy example here to make my point). It would be honest though, since it shows a big part of who many humans are. And in a system where you can make profit out of any demand, these things spawn up…

Little Girl Shaves Head in Act of Solidarity and Gets Kicked Out of School

As a gesture of solidarity, a little girl from Grand Junction shaved her head for her friend who has cancer, 11-year-old Delaney Clements. What happened next: she got kicked out of school because it ‘violated the dress code policy’.

What a load of shit. As if a hairstyle defines a person, as if it is ‘less’ than having hair on your head. It is not going to make her dumber or cause the school to set fire. In fact it is probably showing the strenght of her character. A school should praise this, not punish it. I guess they are more focussed on their students to fit in an follow their little rules, than encouraging positive characteristics in people which not necessarily fit in their school policy.

“It felt like the right thing to do,” Kamryn Renfro said.

Delaney loved what her friend did.

“It made me feel very special and that I’m not alone,” she said.

That school is way too fixed on their set rules, creating a very strict and limiting environment. If you violate a rule then your kicked out, and no one even looks at the starting point. The rule is the law without exceptions. And this is very dangerous because people have various motives for doing what they do. And what this girl did should not be punished.

“Kamryn’s mother tells 9NEWS that the school headmaster told her Kamryn will be allowed to return to school Tuesday.The school’s board of directors plans to meet Tuesday evening to discuss this situation and the policy.”

Good! real good.
If not, that principal should be fired and the policy re-written.

How to Silence Students: Threaten Them With Spoilers of Game of Thrones

Hilarious isn’t it! This one made me laugh out loud when I found it on facebook. So as a teacher you can benefit from being up-to-date with all recent series your students watch.
This strategy is fast and effective, but brings me to the topic of children having to be quiet in class.

There is a large difference between schools and their infrastructure, teachers, teaching method etc… this all has an influence on childrens behavior. I think it is especially important for children to be more activly engaged in class, and having an exciting and creative environment.

Imagine having to spend your days sitting in this classroom for hours :

Or spending your time in this classroom :

In the first one there may be a bigger emphasis on listening, obeying, independence , personal achievement etc…
In the second the emphasis seems to be on creativity, openness, teamwork, communication …

So the making of the system starts in the classroom, by what we teach our children and how we teach them. Do we teach them to sit quietly and listen the entire time, or do we teach them that to communicate and also bring in their own point of view. Of course, a certain level of respect for the teacher is necessary. And explaining to the children why it is important to be quiet at certain times, is necessary. Because a child adopts things from his or her parents, friends, media and other factors, and in that way the child may for example talk in class as a form of ‘trying to be cool’ for the other students. So instead of yelling or punishing, it will be beneficial to have class discussions about behavior like that, without name calling or making it personal. But to keep it general so that everyone learns to see through such behavior. Because someone who tries to be cool, and others respond positively to it, just enhances that behavior. But when others learn to see through it, they may actually point it out to that student when it happens and in fact help him/her with self-realization.

Let’s look at science as well.
Some studies have for example shown that boys often have a lot of trouble sitting still for long periods of time, because their physical bodies cannot sit still for that long. And others have shown how students learn best, like for example being engaged in activities. When I speak for myself, I can say that I learn best when I can DO what I am learning. This tends to ‘stick’ in my brain and gets clearer much faster than if you just hand me a text book or speak theory to me.

There are significant differences in the ways girls and boys learn, differences which are more substantial than age differences in many ways. In other words, a 7-year-old girl and a 7-year-old boy differ, on average, on parameters such as “How long can you sit still, be quiet, and pay attention?” Those differences between a same-age girl and same-age boy are larger than differences between, say, a 7-year-old girl and a 9-year-old girl. Most American schools segregate kids on the basis of age differences: they put 7-year-olds in one classroom and 9-year-olds in another classroom. And yet, on some parameters – such as how long a child can sit still, be quiet, and pay attention – the sex differences (e.g. between the average 7-year-old girl and the average 7-year-old boy) are larger than the age differences (e.g. between the average 7-year-old girl and the average 9-year-old girl).

Educational psychologists have found fundamental differences in the factors motivating girls vs. factors motivating boys. Researchers have consistently found that “girls are more concerned than boys are with pleasing adults, such as parents and teachers” (Pomerantz, Altermatt, & Saxon, 2002, p. 397). Most boys, on the other hand, will be less motivated to study unless the material itself interests them.

Best practices for teaching math differ significantly for girls and boys – particularly in arithmetic, algebra, and number theory. With boys, you can stimulate their interest by focussing on the properties of numbers per se. With girls, you want to tie what you’re teaching into the real world. Keep it real and keep it relevant.

Woman Wants to be as Braindead as Barbie

Aint kidding. A 38 year old woman does not only want to look as plastic as barbie, she also wants to become as braindead…
She has been using hypnotherapy sessions 2 to 3 times a week in the hopes that it will decrease her IQ.

Who dafuq is the lunatic that is providing her this hypnotherapy? If I was a therapist or whatever, I would never agree to such a request. Large parts of the population already get dumbed dump, we shouldn’t support this in people. But that therapist is probably dumbed down him/herself, since he agreed to it and doesn’t look at the reasons why a woman becomes someone that wants to look and “think” like Barbie.

She said:

“I don’t like being human, if that makes sense… Natural is boring… I would love to be like, completely plastic.”

Yeah, being brainless and pre-occupied only with ones own vanity and fantasies will ofcourse be more fun than having to deal with real issues in this world. The system granting her the ability to even spend money on crazy shit like that, deprives others from even having a basic meal every day. I can think of quite some things to make her life less boring. To desire to look a different way, to even go under the knife for it, comes from a dissatisfaction that has an origin. She is playing dumb while people are actually working for her. I am talking about basic things: clothing, food, housing, entertainment… all things people who use their brain less or more make on a daily basis to keep her alive.

“I’ve had 20 sessions and I’m already starting to feel ditzy and confused all the time”

Bennett appears to maintain a NSFW Twitter account advertising live camera shows. Her handle, not surprisingly, is “Busty_Doll.”

The problem is also that people support these kind of ideas,  by paying for it and keep watching live camera shows. In this we are also responsible.

Oh and btw, barbie is smart as fuck. She had jobs like being a scientists, vet, teacher, doctor…

jezebel: After falling in love with the doll as a child, she bleached her hair and drove a corvette just like Barbie in her teens, when she took on promotional jobs playing Barbie in toy stores. (It is possible we have met because I dragged my parents to meet Barbie at a grand opening at least twice in my childhood.) Bennett has also undergone extensive cosmetic procedures, including a breast augmentation that enlarged her breasts to a 32JJ and chin contouring in order to make her face resemble Barbie’s more closely. Bennett is currently unemployed and her procedures are paid for by fans who donate in exchange for photos of her dressed as her idol.

My question is how a woman becomes like that. She gets born as a little baby girl, and somehow grows up to be programmed to desire to cut up her body and insert fake breasts and what else, and even undergoing hypnotherapy to make herself dumb and air-headed.

She doesn’t need publicity and live camera shows, she needs help, mental help. She doesn’t need surgeons and hypnotherapists who will do anything as long as they get paid. There is probably something seriously off in her head. Normally girls who play with barbies don’t get those crazy obsessions.

And btw : Mission to look like barbie? epic fail

Here is her in a video: http://news.uk.msn.com/video-clips?videoid=1542d3ff-9f6f-00cc-f94d-6983ada65383&ap=True&src=v5:posterframe:titleBar^link:&from=shareembed-syndication

‘Vegetarians less healthy than meat-eaters” study debunked

An article was posted in the dailymail about Vegetarians supposedly being less healthy than meat eaters, and having a lower quality of life.

Conclusions of their study: vegetarians visit their doctors more often, are more prone to allergies, cancer, heart problems and bad mental health. They experience more depression and anxiety.

Let’s take a look at the study: http://www.plosone.org/article/fetchObject.action?uri=info:doi/10.1371/journal.pone.0088278&representation=PDF

Actually, some other researchers already took a look before me. What did they get analyzing the data? Almost exactly the opposite results. Read it here: http://link.springer.com/article/10.1007%2Fs00508-013-0483-3

 Conclusion:

“Our results show that a vegetarian diet is associated with a better health-related behavior, a lower BMI, and a higher SES. Subjects eating a carnivorous diet less rich in meat self-report poorer health, a higher number of chronic conditions, an enhanced vascular risk, as well as lower quality of life. In conclusion, our results have shown that consuming a diet rich in fruits and vegetables is associated with better health and health-related behavior. Therefore, public health programs are needed for reducing the health risks associated with a carnivorous diet.

To my understanding of serious scientific, if someone get results A and !A regarding to the same data-source, then there seems to be something wrong with the methods. Under that conditions it seems very unclear (or even more than that to me), if the results can have a value at all. ”

Also some extra notes, the sample sizes were way off! So this is why the first study gave bad results for vegetarians:
comparing 2.2% vegetarians vs. 23.6% consuming a carnivorous diet rich in fruits and vegetables vs. 48.5% eating a carnivorous diet less rich in meat, and 25.7% consuming a carnivorous diet rich in meat).

Only 2.2 % vegetarians!

The next study showing vegetarians are healthiers, actually matched the groups to be equal . “The total number of analyzed subjects comprised 330 vegetarians (1) who were each matched to 330 subjects consuming a carnivorous diet rich in fruits and vegetables (2), 330 individuals eating a carnivorous diet less rich in meat (3), and 330 subjects consuming a carnivorous diet rich in meat (4).

Some more comments on the paper:

Then these results are devoid of any generalizable data. If your goal was to subtype your prior work, the conclusions on this paper should be “rich young female vegetarians may be sicker”. At best, this would suggest teen-to-30-something women are not the best at both avoiding meat and eating a balanced diet; instead we get comments about public health measures that are needed to prevent the harmful effects of eating vegetables. Additionally, if you wanted to ‘match’ your subjects, why have such a wild difference in the groups? Table 1 shows a range from 15yo poor boys to 80yo middle class females. With only 330 in each group, this is hardly ‘matched’ by ‘certain socio-demographic characteristics’ and not compared to the 15K subjects study reflecting the general population. If you wanted to subgroup, you should have done so with each tier presented in Table 1 – ie vegetarianism impact on 15-19yo, low income only, females only, etc. Or you should have age-adjusted, multi-varient adjusted your prior paper. Instead you simply lowered your power and reran your prior analysis.

I agree fully with DrSiebler that your papers are arguing the exact opposite thing. While I find your explaination somewhat acceptable, your discussion and abstract never bring up your prior work and never outline such nuance. Given the media’s love of jumping on hyperbolic nonsense, suggestions that ‘vegetarianism causes cancer’ are unethical if you are going to put them out there without any context. What would you want people to take away from both papers in total? Eat vegetarian or not? Limit meat or not? Only eat vegetarian if you are not a rich Australian women under 50? This is what I think you have not answered from DrSeibler – what “public health measures” are you advocating for in paper A and paper !A?

http://www.plosone.org/annotation/listThread.action;jsessionid=6101CAEBEB2483F1D53C00146A047337?root=78839

The authors of the first study say:

 In our opinion, it seems not far to seek that persons with worse health consume a vegetarian diet because they try to develop a better health and eating behavior, and not the opposite, that a certain diet (vegetarian) leads to worse health. We therefore state in our discussion that we can neither say anything about causes or effects, nor about long-term consequences. Moreover, we say that further studies are needed to analyze nutritional habits and their association with health.

Human Barbie Shows How Ugly She is

The human Barbie, a.k.a. Valeria Lukyanova said:

interracial couples are behind a rise in plastic surgery because they are ‘making the human race uglier’

What an utterly ignorant and UGLY thing to say. She is purely judging beauty by the exterior. But she is showing that in fact she is ugly. No matter what she does to her appearance.

Another crazy quote from her:

‘Remember how many beautiful women there were in the 1950s and 1960s, without any surgery? And now, thanks to degeneration, we have this. A Russian marries an Armenian, they have a kid, a cute girl, but she has her dad’s nose. She goes and files it down a little, and it’s all good.’

Bitch please.
In the 50s and 60s you had as much beauty and ugly woman as you have today.
The styling was different for some, the cultural trends have changed.
Also many interracials babies are very beautiful in outer appearance.

And what does it matter anyway. What nose a child has. Seriously… are we going to keep judging each other as if we are objects? And that you can’t have ‘interracial’ marriage because it might make someone ‘less pretty’ ? What is her point? Many so called ‘ugly’ people who breed, also often get ugly babies. It has nothing to do with so called ‘race’.

But maybe there is just something off in her brain that makes her say all kinds of crazy shit. She admitted in 2013 that she believes she is from another planet – possibly Venus, but she isn’t quite sure… Venus, ok…  temperatures on Venus reach 870 degrees F (465 degrees C), more than hot enough to melt lead. Venus has a hellish atmosphere as well, consisting mainly of carbon dioxide with clouds of sulfuric acid, and scientists have only detected trace amounts of water in the atmosphere. The atmosphere is heavier than that of any other planet, leading to a surface pressure 90 times that of Earth.
Have fun on venus then.

And (not a quote from her btw!)

My working hypothesis about attractiveness: multiracial people tend to be no more and no less good looking than the weighted average of their ancestors. But their greater genetic variety leads many people to assume they are more attractive on the whole.

http://www.vdare.com/articles/are-interracial-people-healthier-and-more-attractive

To all interracial couples: breed along!

Another quote:

‘Perhaps at some point I was an energy vampire, because I constantly received their negative reactions and enjoyed it. Specifically for them I created posts that would make them angry.’

Well… maybe you still are, by saying crazy shit.
Not that it gets me angry, I just find it incredibly stupid and abusive towards humanity.

it’s people who say those things that make the human race uglier.
