Isn't the point of going to a university being exposed to new ideas? It sets a pretty dangerous precident to cater to the superstitions of a particular group. Shouldn't these women have to learn to deal with other people at some point? Sholdn' the university be encouraging them to break out of their limited viewpoints?

If the school wants to do this then these women should have to pay a hefty increase in activity fees to compensate for the people who can't use the gym. Any man who would have used the gym should get a reduction in their activity fees or membership costs. When I was in college I had a pretty limited window of time when I could work out. I would be incredebly angry if the one time I had available was taken so that a small group wouldn't feel offended by being around others.

What makes Romero's zombie movies a cut above the rest is that they're not really about zombies. They're about racism, crass consumer society, class struggles, and the dangers of authoritarian goverment. Not that you can't enjoy them on a simple humans vs zombies level too, and even on that level Romero wins. I mean what movie wouldn't be improved by a zombie vs biker pie fight?

I never understood the raves about 28 Days later. After the interesting opener and the depleted London scences it was pretty much a rip off of Dawn and day of the dead right down to the minor plot points. When the survivors stop at the service station I turned to my boyfriend and said " I bet there's a little kid zombie in there just like in Dawn". And there was. When they get to the very Day of the dead military base I was counting the minutes till they showed a soldier zombie chained up, which will enventually kill the evil military leader.

I suppose its a bit more clever than the other shirt but I would have needed the caption if the title of the article hadn't had the word cunt in it.

Its funny that cunt only seems to be a really bad word in the states. If you watch Brittish tv or movies people call each other cunts and twats all the time, more like calling someone a dick here.

Are hispanic teens really supposed to be modest? Judging from the audience on Sabado Gigante or any other Univision or Telemondo program it seems like if anything hispanic girls and women would feel pressure to dress sexy. I could see the agument that the conflict between being expected to dress sexy with the expectation of acting modest would be very confusing to a young girl.

Brightstar thinks little girls are roaches, and that their bodies are no different than adult women's.

I was excited to join Brownies when I was little because I thought it would be like Boy Scouts. Camping, learning to tie knots, start a fire without matches, how to mark a trail, and all that fun stuff. My grandparents' property has about 20 acres of forest on it so I grew up spending alot of time in the woods. Girl scouts was so lame though. We spent the whole time making stupid crafts. The few times we did go camping were also lame. I did win the cookie selling competition just about every year though. Maybe if I'd had a fun leader it would have been different. Now that I think about it I don't think we said the girl scout pledge very often either.

A few years ago we finally rebelled against family gift giving. My finace's family all have, in our opinion, hideous "country style" decor. So each Christmas the family would exchange hand carved country style large wooden objects. One year one fo the uncles made these, again our opinion I'm sure there are people who like this kind of thing, disgusting angels with nails for hair. We joked about how they looked like the lead monster from hellraiser and "forgot" them at his parent's house when we went home. After a couple years of this we finally told his parents that we really don't like these things, they don't fit with our decor and we realy don't have room for a three foot candy cane sculpture.

Thing is aparently no one else liked them either becasue after our opt out most of the younger people decided to opt out as well. Turns out everyone hated the tradidiotns but kept doing it because they thought everyone else liked them. My family's Christmas is perfect for us. Some pizza, wings, talking, presents for the little kids, and all over in 2 hours. We used to have a big to do but then everyone admitted they didn't like it. No reason to stick with tradition no one likes.

To answer the question, how about having the parents do some recon for you. Look at their dvd, video game, book collection and see what type of movies they have. Go to the store and ask one of the staff or other customers what they would recommend for someone who has titles, x, y, z. That worked pretty well for my father when he got me books for Christmas. I found too, that the older I get the less I want. When I was 6 I could make a ten page Christmas list no problem (I did have big handwriting though) but by the time I was 12 just a few books were all I wanted.

Does anyone else remember when Garfield's owner John used to live with a guy? His name was Lyman, had a suspicious moustache, and he was Odie's first owner. I always wondered what happened to him. Maybe John was trying to cover up with all that over the top courtship of the lady vet.
