Both "flavors" (U.K. and U.S.). About the only quibble I have with the American show is that I agree that they lean too heavily on the high heels, and I get tired of Nick making everyone cut their hair. Note to WNTW--at least in my eyes, shorter hair tends to make people look OLDER! And note to everyone else--shorter hair takes MUCH more maintenance than long hair! I don't get why everyone says that it's so much easier to take care of, when all the people I know with short hair have to mousse and dry and style every morning, and get it cut every 6 weeks. Whereas I wash my long hair every other day and let it air dry--no styling required--and sometimes go a year between haircuts. There, now I feel better.

That said, I've gotten a lot of good tips from both versions of WNTW. Yes, some of the clothes are quite expensive, but you can find less-expensive versions, or head to T.J. Maxx (or whatever YOUR version of T.J. Maxx is where you are) to make some finds. And I really think that they make the best of every body type--their oft-repeated mantra is to dress the body you HAVE, not wait around to dress the one you'd LIKE to have. It's often amazing how much more proportional women look "after"--heavier women look slimmer, hippy or large-breasted women more balanced. Some just don't seem to know how to decide if something fits, and it's incredible to see them in clothes that actually DO fit.

Man, I think he's hot!

And Jon Stewart is not only cool, he's also extremely sexy IMO.

Go back and read the interview of Sam Harris--an atheist--who says essentially the same thing; that the way fundies read the bible is probably the most intellectually honest way, despite the wish of liberals/moderates to have it otherwise.

So what to do? Well, I don't think that people have a "deep need for salvation", as Poco put it. I think there is a god gene that some people just don't have. I know I don't. Raised a Catholic, church ALWAYS bored me. I always looked for ways to get out of going. I never have felt any kind of religious joy or ecstasy, I never felt comforted by religion (if anything, the tenets of any faith have always creeped me out a little). As soon as I could, I stopped. And I've come along from agnostic, occasional seeker--though every time I tried to read any sort of religious tracts I always thought "how stupid is THIS?" to plain old atheist.

There is no god, there are no gods. I feel no need to respect your religion--just leave me alone about it. I feel no need to defend my position--you either believe or you don't and I'm finally able to say that I don't. Wow--how liberating is THAT?

Soo... maybe, as someone pointed out earlier in these comments, we should start regarding religion as an ADDICTION; or, like homosexuality, something you're born with.

To my mind, there are 3 types of people in this regard. People who really believe; people who don't really believe but pretend to; and people who don't believe, and don't pretend. I'll bet a lot of those americans out there who keep telling pollsters they believe in god, if they REALLY thought about what they really believe, would be shifting from group #2 to group #3.

And I don't have wrinkles. OK, maybe starting a little bit around the eyes.

Is it possible that all the attempts to stay young are causing her skin to age prematurely? Genuinely curious here. I know that a lot of it is genes, bone structure and things like drastic weight loss--but if she's gone to that extent for that long, how much of it has actually CAUSED her skin issues?

Or is it all in her mind?

Men who were just plain helpless in the face of an offer. You could kind of take advantage of them. You knew that if you wanted sex, they'd oblige.

I have heard both men and women referred to as "players". Maybe that will retain a positive (or at least not negative) connotation as it is increasingly applied to both sexes.

The guys I was talking about were certainly sluts by YOUR definition. Which isn't that far away from mine, actually. Just sayin'.

Of a male slut--read Klaus Kinski's autobiography. Slut extraordinaire!

...reality TV contestants talking about their "journey"? Every time someone gets voted out, they say "it's been an incredible journey" or the hostess says "let's take a look at your journey". I cringe in anticipation.

Heather, right ON about Musa! And is it any indication of Dimitri's quality that he couldn't seem to hold on to partners? All but one of the women voted off were his partners!
