How sizing and expecting thinness as the beauty ideal is perhaps worse than the veil in the fundamentalist Islamic interpretation

Unfortunately, it works. I can't simply say "I don't care, I'll look how I like and dress in what fits me." That only results in rejection from a lack of attractiveness. It may be morally wrong, but the standard is there. Unless I fit a certain shape, I am not pretty. I have lived with this for years and I am certain others have as well. On the other hand, there is no way to force someone to find someting attractive that they simply do not, that doesn't well up from the inside, and it seems that my form does not fit the bill. *shrug*

"Allow me to introduce Canada. The Canadians are so quiet that you may have forgotten they're up there, but they've been busy doing some surprising things. It's like discovering that the mice you are dimly aware of in your attic have been building an espresso machine."

What a weird image.

(Can you tell what the theme is of the websites I'm boredly browsing right now?)

An Englishman, a Canadian and an American were captured by terrorists.

The terrorist leader said, "Before we shoot you, you will be allowed last words. Please let me know what you wish to talk about."

The Englishman replied, "I wish to speak of loyalty and service to the crown."

The Canadian replied, "Since you are involved in a question of national purpose, national identity, and secession, I wish to talk about the history of constitutional process in Canada, special status, distinct society and uniqueness within diversity."

The American replied, "Just shoot me before the Canadian starts talking."
