The Green Party is alive and well - and it supports

Single Payer

IVR Voting/Election Reform

No corporate money in Politics

No Corporate personhood

Gay Rights

It does not support the war in Afghanistan or Iraq

And it is the only progressive party in the US - wishful thinking will not make the Democrats progressive.

If you are local come to a real progressive event - no teabaggers http://www.econvergence.org/

So normally, we have tirades against the evil fat folks - but think about it, if someone was over weight and was actually trying to do something about it by going to a gym, are the other folks there supportive, saying go for it, stick to it, or do they criticize the body of the over weight person making them self consensus so they don't work out and possibly get worse?

I've always noticed work clothing is rarely flattering to normal/or overweight body types, but if someone is making the effort for improvement or just to stay healthy, for gods sake don't discourage them!! Unfortunately the discouragement is more common and is one of the barriers for folks trying to change their life's around. People are just nasty.

How many trolls on this blog, talk about women avoiding them - and how resentful they are that these women avoid them for actions other men have done to them, or how paranoid people are if they see their kids with a guy. And yes everyone says they are paranoid and they should chill out , until another case like this happens.

Sorry this guy was just like the trolls on this site, and if you meet them in person you would avoid them, but some women are to polite and can't say no (I need a ride) and they will be the victims, sorry but rude women, are not going to be victims of people like this.. there is a great deal of value to a woman NOT to be nice, and assume people are nice. But everyone hates it when women are bitchy and rude -- but bitchy and rude women are not going to let social paths talk them into situations that get them raped/killed.

Now what to do about strangers that grab girls and pull them into a car? I don't know other than yelling at my teenager not to use her ipod when on the street and to pay attention - oh great another attempted grab of 13 year old in the city, this is on the news all the time... the perverts seem to like 11-13 for the car grab crap. And no we don't live in California.

Those words and events are brought to you by capitalism, people are making money on sex. And they are usually republicans. Smell the money, follow the trail.... now like Bush they will tell the religious types they are on their side, and will do away with abortion, but all the time they are just making money, the guy who owns the girls gone wild stuff is no liberal,, Republican all the way...

Are you younger than everyone else in the office? First office job (real job) since school.

Let me guess, you treat your parents rudely, and have never been called on it, and are having a hard time behaving among the grownups.

Your first job is not interesting/a challenge/what you imagined yourself doing - but the economy sucks and your are afraid to leave?

Learn to be polite, it is a learned ability, it gets harder to acquire as you get older, your parents failed you there - (Only child?)

And take a risk - some risk - new job, volunteering, start a business at home overlapping work -- you don't sound like you are married yet, no kids -- this is the time to take risk. You can settle down to the well paying office job, once you get this out of your system and learn people skills-- and who knows, whatever you try might work, or teach you that you can tolerate risk, and failure, and try again.

You are not emotionally mature enough for a normal job, except the pay cut and do something that has meaning to you while you are young --- the maturity and people skills will come to you, if you find meaning it what you decide to do, don't just work to pay the bills.

Sorry when I was 180 - I was a size 12 -- I was also very muscular - working out for my fencing team -- at 5'7

Different builds have have advantages - I was also way more than a C cup, and curvy, those hips and breast can hind alot of weight no one is going to criticize -- but if you are the same height and weight and small breast, and no hips, it is all in the belly, yes -- you'd be bigger.

Hell I am bucking 200 -- but still a 16
