I am glad she knows how to carry the dog properly, without hurting it. Also I think it's healthy the parents allow her to carry the dog while wearing her pretty dress without making a fuss x.X;. They allow her to be a child; this is a nice photo!

Badsey, the article talks about public pools, not beaches. There are no surfers in pools.

Not to appear insistent but there is no Edit button in this board, so I'll add a third post. I was reading comments in other places and a person made a very good point: Women in burquini would be swimming next to strangers in skimpy (according to Islam) bathing suits,…

I just googled burquini to learn about its origins and apparently it has nothing to do with Muslim countries: it was designed in Australia by a Lebanese mother. I also found this interesting piece:

I think that going to a place (the pool in this case) and willingly break the place's rules, then cry discrimination is clearly a publicity stunt. If she were really concerned about the issue, she would raise a public campaign and go to the authorities. France is the last country…

Wow I just had an idea.

I am left-handed. Hence my brain is balanced differently and in theory allows me to look at the greater problem before synthesizing down to a solution whereas a right-handed person thinking process is inverse. Left-handedness is statistically associated with geniality, better coordination of the…

I think the author is confusing EQ (Emotional Intelligence) with permissiveness. EQ is not a -way- to avoid confrontation; EQ is the ability to apply constructive criticism taking into account different points of view and yet assert one's own opinion.

I do not know a single woman who has had a miscarriage in my country. In Japan, I know one. How common are miscarriages here, really? I do suppose these are numbers affecting the Japanese population. 40% is an alarming number.

Do any of the opponents to Lasik actually have myopia, astigmatism or the like? Such conditions of deficient vision are caused by progressive deformation of the eye lens.

In the case of myopia, for example. Myopia progresses for a number of decades, then stabilizes - meaning that the prescription does…
