I agree that it looks pretty dodgy, but the article says the girls are "teenagers", not little girls. Would it change anything if they all turned out to be nineteen, and just made up and dressed to look younger?

While I agree with you that Hollywood ought to take a good, long look at itself and its portrayal of Muslims, I think that maybe 9/11 had a lot to do with it.

Unfortunate choice of abbreviation!

Good point. But in those days there wasn't the easy access to fats and oils that we "enjoy" now; meat and dairy were too expensive for the majority. Plus life was a lot more physical then. And for the rich, who didn't need to exercise, ate fruit, bread sweets and red meat, there certainly was an obesity problem.

But climate change is a myth... because the Tories/Republicans say so.

@Junnama Apparently, they're going with "South Sudan". Not very exciting but I suppose it does the job.

Right. Cause America never votes in lunatics, ever (Reagan, George W.) right?

And they were quite correct, young lady! You should consider yourself very lucky to have been so well protected for so long!

You're conjuring up a very sexist image there. Next you'll be telling us you're a Palace fan!

It would be unbelievably stupid...if it were true. But it ain't.

Just find a good gym about three or four miles from where you live and walk there. Then walk home again. Repeat five times a week. Works every time, and it's free!

It was a suicide bomber. Should we hang his corpse, like they used to in the middle ages?

And how, exactly, Raymasaki, are you intending "fighting back"? We've had the Moscow Metro bomb, the Moscow theatre attack, the Beslan siege and now this. Ordinary Russian citizens slaughtered by the hundreds while people like you and Putin, in no danger whatsoever, call on people to "fight back". Tell you what... you go to Russia, start an anti-Ingushetia/Chechnya/Dagestan brigade with your buddy Putin and I'll consider joining you.

If you make a speech, be very very careful not to confuse "shinpu-san" and "ninpu-san". It's been done, believe me. (Not by me, thank goodness!)
