Sexualization of Children


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


spoiler
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.
barbie-doll__oPtShe 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



downloadAn 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.
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


article-0-1CE8527E00000578-781_634x556The 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.

About Miley Cyrus her heart condition


article-2606056-1D1E91EB00000578-943_634x1023Miley Cyrus had an extreme allergic reaction to antibiotics she was taking, and had to rush to the hospital to get treated. But, it was revealed that she has tachycardia, a faster than normal heartbeat that could lead to a stroke.
Tachycardia is a heart rate that exceeds the normal range. In general, a resting heart rate over 100 beats per minute is accepted as tachycardia. Tachycardia can be caused by various factors that often are benign. However, tachycardia can be dangerous, depending on the speed and type of rhythm. When the heart beats excessively or rapidly, the heart pumps less efficiently and provides less blood flow to the rest of the body, including the heart itself. The increased heart rate also leads to increased work and oxygen demand by the heart, which can lead to rate related ischemia. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tachycardia
http://www.heart.org/HEARTORG/Conditions/Arrhythmia/AboutArrhythmia/Tachycardia-Fast-Heart-Rate_UCM_302018_Article.jsp
‘She could get heart muscle problems and even heart failure at worst,’ Dr Mark Urman told the weekly. ‘She could even end up with a stroke.’
Who is likely to have Atrial or SVT?
  • SVT is the most common type of arrhythmia in children
  • More common in women, but may occur in either sex
  • Anxious young people
  • People who are physically fatigued
  • People who drink large amounts of coffee
  • People who drink alcohol heavily
  • People who smoke heavily
So Miley is ticking a couple of these boxes. She is known for partying hard, doing a lot of physical work, drinking alcohol and smoking.  I don’t know if she consumes coffee. Her lifestyle may in fact contribute to her condition, and this is something she has to be careful off.
To make mattes worse, the Wrecking Ball singer has a love of drugs, something she has freely admitted to several times.
The Tennessee native has confessed she loves marijuana and Molly, which is also known as MDNA and Ecstasy.
The ex-fiancé of Liam Hemsworth even wrote a song about pot smoking and has worn costumes to her concert with marijuana leaves on them.
‘She knows she’s not supposed to smoke pot or do drugs, but she does it anyway,’ a source told the magazine.
http://www.dailymail.co.uk/tvshowbiz/article-2606056/More-health-issues-Miley-Cyrus-heart-condition-stroke-keeps-partying-hard.html#ixzz2z7DP3qp1
The recommendations they give regards tachycardia are:
  • Cutting down on coffee.
  • Cutting down on alcohol.
  • Quitting tobacco use.
  • Getting more rest.
  • Slow down physical exertion
As I read further, I realize she already knew about this condition:
During her 2009 Miles To Go memoir the blonde admitted she needed to be careful with her health.
‘My heart rate increases a lot just from going up a flight of stairs,’ she wrote in the book. ‘There is never a time onstage when I’m not thinking about my heart.’ She also admitted she was born with a hole in her heart.
Now to get to the point. What I see her is a choice of the mind over the body, and how a self-image based on ego may cause us to destroy our body. Miley has taken on a certain personality, a certain image. This image happens to go together with a wilder lifestyle, drugs and alcohol. All these things are known to be bad for her heart. So then the choice is: will she be able to choose her body over her mind, and not define herself according to a certain image or idea? Because the  extend in which she follows her mind can lead her into more physical harm. The attachment to this image she has about herself may lead to her health deteriorating or even ending in death. So this also shows a point of enslavement, of being enslaved to a certain idea about yourself, and something you want others to think about you and who you are.
I am only using Miley as an example here, because this can be applied to many of us.
If you cannot “be yourself” without a man made drug, then what does this say about who you are? It says you are fabricated, that ‘who you are’ is dependent on certain substances, or based on an image and idea. And if this is lost, then suddenly “you” are lost as well. Where in fact did you go? Nowhere, you are still here in the physical (if you are not dead ofcourse). You still have your body, your brain, your organs… you can think, sense, smell, move and everything else. So the only thing that can convince you that you are “less” than you previously were, are thoughts that you allow within your mind. Thoughts that you allow to tell you that you are “less” or “not you”.
So if a behavior is causing your body harm, and you know it, and you also know it can cause you further health problems and even end up in death. Then which thoughts exactly would lead you to continue that behavior. Which thoughts are connected to emotions that are so strong, that they can convince you to harm your physical body? The body that gives you life and makes you walk on this planet, and enjoy it (if you are not in a deprived position and suffering like many are on this planet unfortunately). I think we take our bodies too much for granted, and give our programmed mind way too much credit and act as a slave towards it.
If it was up to me, I would know which choice to make, and it would be my body, not my mind. Because the body always has the final say over life and death.


Why do Vegans look Sick and Pale ?

Because they don’t :)
These stereotypes have to be rid out of the world. People look sick and pale on all kinds of diets. And there is nothing wrong with being pale either, it simply means you don’t spend a lot of time in the sun or your skin does not tan easily.
