But I am sure that about 15 years ago on 60 minutes, they

were interviewing a girl of about 13, who had been molested on a plane, (in the days when ever seat wasn't full) - her family was on the plane, but she was sleeping in the middle seats - no one else in middle section, and most the people on the plane were also asleep, she was to afraid to make any noise, but told her parents after the flight.

The interview was actually pretty graphic about what happened, and I knew it freaked me out, and I wouldn't let my kids fly to grandma's without me.

Did anyone else see that interview? Its to old to show up on google. I went to the 60 minutes website, and tried to search for it there, but they have a lousy search engine and I didn't come up with anything. (the search never came back)

Besides if there are other incidents, the settlements probably include a no talking to press clause, and this probably decreases the airlines liability. Companies do lots of stupid things to decrease liability. Imagined or otherwise.

Maybe a depressed woman shouldn't be having a baby?

Since its probably not safe for the baby to have any of

mom's drugs in its system. And if she is in such a state

it isn't safe for her to be off the meds, pregnancy is going

to change her mental state meds or no meds - perhaps it isn't

a great thing for her either.

I've had friends with killer alergies, and the doctors told

them to get off their meds for six months before getting pregnant

to clean out thier system, and to not take them while pregnant.

The anti-drepression drugs have got to worse on the fetus, so

why are they being told they can be on the drugs at all?

Perhaps because so many more people are on these drugs, then the

ones my friends were on, but that begs the question why are so many

American's on drugs that didn't even exist a generation or two ago?

Could we have all really become so sick so fast?

When I got older I gained weight, then stabalized at a less then ideal weight - I dieted , exercised and nothing worked. Turned out I had food alergies, and as I got older they got worse, until my doctors finally figured it out - its a common food, non-fatting (citrus), but as long as I was eating it, I had become addicted to it, and it was causing skin problems, breathing problems, arthritis, and an inablitity to lose weight.

Now I don't have citrus in my diet, the breathing problems stopped (when they became life threatening, is when the doctors figured out the allergy), no more arthritis at all, and nothing else has changed in my diet but I've been losing 2-3 pounds a month for the last six months without effort. And my skin cleared up, oh joy. But yet before this happened I would have been one of the fatties everyone is dumping on - it is crap, you maybe afraid of fat people because you are projecting your personal issues on them, but you don't know why they are fat.

Mine was a food allergy, a friend of mine gained 60 pounds on an anti-dressant drug, and when she stopped, the weight went away. I've known people who can't lose weight no matter what they do if they are on the birth control pills, so they have to make a choice be skinny with no birth control, or have birth control and fewer offers. No it isn't the logical simple science people like to make it out to be, if you change the chemistry of your body - you have different issues with weight. Being healthy, and sticking

with natural foods helps, not taking birth control helps, not being on medication of any kind helps, but organic food and med free life is not an option for everyone.

Passing judgement on strangers, for weight is a sign of mental weakness, and deep rooted issues inside of yourself.

Perhaps you need to calm down, and pretend you are a nice person until your behavior improves, it will at least lower your blood pressure.

No one is forcing you to have sex with fat people, no one is forcing you to be friends with fat people. So why are you such a nasty person that the thought that fat people out there in the world who don't even know you , are having a good time, or great sex??? Why does it bother you so? Get a life.

What if her friend was ill - ie cancer instead of pregnant. She wouldn't be able to mosh pit, or do last minute get togethers, because she'd be tired, or out on meds. And hey she'd be boring, because she'd only have a life changing medical issue to focus/talk about - I don't know kind of like the mother of a new born.

Would this woman still be her friend? Come help clean her house, drive her to the doctor? Or be put off because her house has a strange smell, and she only talks about her condition, and can't do things last minute.

Young kids and illness tend to pass (after a long period of time) things settle down, and they get tired of focusing on just that one thing in their life, and they reach out to the rest of the world again, and they have an additional gift, they know who their real friends are - the ones that stayed with them, when they were tired, no fun, and obsessed with their bodies, and life issues. Painful info - but totally worth it.
