I go to Emerson College in Boston (I'm a film major.) We have this excellent teacher on campus who teaches about the "sexploitation" films of the 1940s and on. He's really knowledgable, he even wrote a book on it.

Today's porn is interesting as a classroom topic, but if we keep this up, sexploitation films will come into the picture too. History of Porn, anyone?

Just as you trusted your peers over the TV, teens will trust their TV "peers." If everyone on "One Tree Hill" is having sex, it must be normal, right? And eventually a friend exagerrates their own sexual experience, so you feel even more pressure to have sex. The media is targeting the teen market more heavily these days and it's sending the message that all teens have sex.

I'm in a course right now called "Dress Codes," where we talk about all the clothing worn during the 20th century. And when women complained and doctors said their undergarmentds were unhealthy, the fashion became more and more to miraculously shape your own body into something that looks like you're wearing a corset. Even during the 1920s, women who weren't gangly and flat were using corsets to push their body down. This happened all the way up to the 1960s when bras became par-for-course.

I'd rather safely shape my own body with supportive undergarments than be told I can magically cinch my waist by visiting the gym more often.

However, corsets were unsafe much of the time, especially in the way it's shown in "Gone With the Wind." Women's organs would move with the shape of the corset, which is extremely unhealthy, to say the least. So let's leave off on the tight-corseting and bustles. But don't be ashamed of using a corset to uplift either.

What is so scary about a camera anyway? ...This is my life in a short film clip...

Way to go Clarence. Showing the truth behind every "man on the street" package.

Fascinating string of letters.

I doubt I'd see this film; I don't think I want or need those images in my brain. I choose carefully what I ingest mentally.

I see there's a dispute about the cell phone calls. I remember seeing on TV the tearful mother of Mark Bingham, one of the Flight 93 victims, telling about her son's phone call. Are there some who believe that these calls were made by government folks imitating loved one's voices?? I try to keep an open mind, but the effort necessary to carry off such a huge hoax seems way past the limited resources of "those people."

And to those who say there was no entry by passengers into the cockpit -- do they maintain that the hijackers themselves crashed the plane on purpose in this anonymous Pennsylvania field? Or did our own government supposedly shoot it out of the sky?

I was alive during Vietnam and Watergate (dating myself, here) and I remember that as the death of naivete and any basic trust in the administration. I don't trust the current buffoons as far as I could throw them, but I think it's beyond the scope of possibility that 9-11 is simply one big ball of propaganda. Sure Dubya and company wanted to attack Iraq, but no one is capable of this level of conspiracy.

My Dad, 87 tomorrow, relates that there were those who saw the attack at Pearl Harbor as a painful but convenient impetus for us to finally enter WWII.

Let history judget this film. I can't fault Greengrass for trying to bring his art to exploring the most traumatic event in our recent past.

Okay, not literally. But I had no boundaries, primarily as a result of sexual abuse at the hands of a family friend (coincidentally, a UU -- and his wife the religious education director) when I was a 12-year-old Catholic girl.

This woman will not stop after being talked to. She can't stop.

You must protect the children.

They are being scarred, in large and small ways, by a course which is supposed to help them.

Find other teachers, and get her out of there.

By the way, I don't know if the LW is a UU, but I am.

I think her problem is organic, and has more to do with her brain chemistry than any new circumstance regarding her daughters. This behavior is a repetitive pattern.

Has she had a medical check-up recently?

Their hair is subject to network control. Often, they are even mandated to stay with a certain hairdresser.

Did you notice the minor brouhaha when Matt Lauer went for the buzz a couple of years ago, in defiance of his contract?

It will be interesting to see what Rosie does on this show, which will benefit from a dose of outrageousness. Remember that Meredith never wears a bra. I wonder if they'll make her put one on for the Today show?!
