    The Muslim products thing pisses me off. As far as most scholars go, there's nothing in the world that's Haram (forbidden, opposite of Halal) to put on your face. You can smear lard all over yourself and then wash it off in a champagne bath and it'd still be Halal.

    OnePure, you're creating a false need and adding to the stigma of using pig products. I've heard of misinformed people who refuse to use certain medical treatments b/c of the whole pig connection. UGH.

    That's true. The press does ask both Megan Fox and Barack Obama questions, and then records their answers to those questions with the intention of reporting those statements later.

    I can't believe I'd never noticed that before! Are we 100% sure they aren't the same person? Was "Megan Fox" born in Kenya?

    @redqueenmeg: The billboards on I-75 are insane. Between advertising Cafe Risque and the Abortion billboards, I asked my parents an akward question, then was forced to have the "Talk" in the backseat of a mini-van when I was 11. Honestly, one of the worst conversations of my life. My mom later told me that she had had it planned out for when I "became a woman".

    North Florida- Abortion billboards. South Florida- Strip Clubs billboards.

    Maybe it was the Hofstra thread from earlier today, but that Florida story had me even more rageful than I usually get whenever I hear about the rampant idiocy associated with that state.

    Oh my GOD, imagine the harrowing possibility having to explain reality to your children, when everyone knows it's your constitutional right to keep them ignorant.

    When I hear our government not allowing or fighting publication of photos of our Iraq/Afghanistan casualties, I think of pictures like this. So many iconic images that can really bring home the awfulness of war. I don't need protection from that. In fact, we should be required to see it.

    Although my pain is not from violence, I can related to her comment about pain. You can't escape the pain because you can't escape your body. But humans are resilient and many not only learn to live with pain, they learn to use the experience to prevent others from their same fate.

    @Lymed: i know, i thought the same thing. especially where she talks about how even now she still has recurring pain. the psychological drag caused by relentless, chronic pain is almost as bad as the actual physical sensations. the world can become very small from it. in light of this, what she's doing is even more remarkable.

    @msAnthrope: At least for me, the psychological drag is much less if you use the pain to focus your energy. It is a lot easier for me to deal with my pain knowing that because of my health experiences, I'm working to get people access to health care so their illnesses can get diagnosed and treated before they impact their life like mine has. It does take strength to focus that energy, but at the same time, it can make your life easier. You have a reason to get out of bed in spite of your pain.
