Blood diamonds

I saw on the news the other day that the Girl Guides are trying to start a campaign for magazines to clearly state on photos when they have airbrushed them, as its making women look too "perfect" when in reality they have the same lumps and bumps as the rest of us. I recall seeing 2 pics of Britney Spears a little while ago - they had put the original pic next to the airbrushed pic - they had reduced the size of her ass, her ankles, her legs, made her waist tiny, removed cellulite (which was hardly there anyway) - its ridiculous.

good idea, i'd put my name to that

I'm not sure, I generally only support once cause at a time and I'm not sure if the Save The Birch is just more socially relevant.

Personally I prefer to have something to grab hold of for leverage

:icon_bigg Couldn't agree more.

 

[Cate Fox]

Yup, you lot have a lot to live up to if you aspire to be that way. It's unachievable. Even the celebs that are toned and healthy, say Elle McPherson, are only able to achieve that by working out for hours every day, something a working woman cannot do (nor would I want them to).

Isn't that what she should be saying?

Jesus wept, you lot are so shallow, this thread is about serious stuff

In fairness though the Court is nothing but a racist front to attack Africans. If it put Bush and Blair in the dock then I would give it some credibility. :icon_conf

I think that's a bit harsh Steven. I agree that Bush and Bliar deserve to be indicted, but that hardly makes Taylor's trial a racist attack on Africans.
There's an awful lot of Africans delighted to see him being brought to book.

Am I the only person that thinks Naomi Campbell has a face like a gibbon's arse?

Mmmm, I see what you mean....

 

[homer]

Question is, is she a single bagger - or a double bagger in case the first one comes off

 

[Macky]

Mmmm, I see what you mean....

I was being deadly serious...

All true but I only see Africans being tried in this court and that tends to make me very suspicious about the way in which prosecutions are mounted. No doubt that are murderous bastards in Africa that need to be tried but the same is true in the so called "civilised" western world and we do not see them being tried.

Its dreadful, the price of diamonds will soar because of this!

Could 'we' be to blame for that? Without there being a will among our population to see them having to answer for their crimes, it will never happen.
Unfortunately, they have the mass media in their pocket.

Bugger me, I could have sworn that Serbia was in Europe the last time I looked. You live and learn

Hmm i thought that as well but I'm not up enough on these things to have posted about that trial.

2 mm po x1 (eaten then wrapped on the apendage)
mm fh x1 (eaten then inverted) that'd make her chaff.

I knew the smart ones would see through the totality of my assertion. :icon_bigg However the overriding majority of defendants, as I perceive it, have been African.

De Beers have huge stockpiles they could release. :icon_wink
