I apologize for the copy and paste job but I really was hoping for a better answer than "to show off their bodies" which is what I got when I asked it on the General Sports section. I find it irritating that what ought to be about sport and talent is made into objectifying women for their bodies.
Anyhoo:
Everytime I watch a bit of figure skating or "dancing with the stars" or watch a tennis match, I just find it odd that I can literally see the butts of the female participants because of the one-piece/bikini style clothing they wear. It cannot be for greater flexibility can it? Male participants wear pants or tights and they do fine. Serena Williams yesterday after her injury wore loose fitting tights and managed to win the match still. So why do they wear such clothing? I tune in to watch tennis, not a chick in a short dress that barely covers her bum.
Some said movement and Im really curious how that is since Serena did fine and males do fine.

The hole thug loving think is out of hand. Black girls(NOT ALL BLACK GIRLS FOR YOU PEOPLE WHO WANT TO SAY I DONT LOVE THUGS) but anyway to MANY black girls like thugs aka losers because it shows power but bad power but power none the less.We need positive black men in the medie that are not rappers or envolved in sports because young black men only want to became a athlete or a rappers NOT ALL. Ive been told im not black enough by black girls to become there boyfriend gasp big surprise! then people wonder why GOOD black men go to white women. So I say BET has to go it shows stereotypes of us that sadly i see alot out in public. Also stop trying to find scapegoats for our bad deeds! Yes othere races have bad deeds but im black so i dont care about what goes on in othere communities. SO how do we fix the bull???

do you think this problem we have regarding homosexual rights would be going on now?

For the definition of gay is:

HAPPY AND CARE FREE

NOT

HOMOSEXUAL.

Listening to Metallica Master of Puppets and it made me wonder, Who is our true master in life?

I would say we're our own master but are we?

We depend on each other, governments, the economy and in some cases gods.

I only ask because she seems to get so much press coverage that I assumed she must have risen from the dead, like that Jewish guy did - and look at the press he gets!

In early writings, before hell evolved to how we know it today, everyone went to "hell" because it was just a place where every dead person went.

The Maryland State Board of Education has ruled that the right of the state supersedes the rights of parents in teaching children about homosexuality. The Board said the "right (of parents) is not absolute. It must bend to the State's duty to educate its citizens."

The ruling means that the teaching of homosexuality as an accepted and approved lifestyle in Maryland public schools can move forward. Very important! Some professionals feel that the Maryland curriculum could become the model for promoting the homosexual lifestyle in public schools across the nation.

The new policy prohibits any unfavorable view of homosexuality from being presented. A video for use with eighth-graders instructs students on how to put a condom on a pen-s.

--Looks like more reason to home school Christians. It is not the state's right to indoctrinate my children with the homosexual agenda, is it?

I can't find this in the Bible. It is in the Apostle's Creed. Is it somewhere in the prophets?

Please help me.

I am now 55 and I know that this behavior no longer exists, but I went 8 years to a Catholic grade school that was basically brutal. Although I was very well educated, the amount of physical abuse that was inflcted, only on the boys, by the nuns was outrageous. I remember being beat for not bringing in 20 cents to join a some sort of society for the Blessed Virgin. I saw a classmate of mine beaten so badly that it left him with a permanent nervous facial tick. His dire cirme was leaving a copy of his test results on his desk from one class where a sister from the next class saw it and confiscated it. I suspect that there was something wrong about the test questions that got the first sister in trouble for some reason because when she came in the next day she beat the crap out of my friend. My ex-wife tells stories of children who were abused (made to drink moldy holy water) because they did not leave room on their school desk seat for their guardian angle to sit besde them.

i know free mixing is not allowed

i know having boy/girl friend is now allowed

How can you have order in a state without religion? For, when one man is dying of hunger near another who is ill of surfeit, he cannot resign himself to this difference unless there is an authority which declares, "God wills it thus." Religion is excellent stuff for keeping common people quiet.

Ex: My case manager asked me, "Why did you loan your friend money?" & before I can say anything, she just figured she could answer it for me by saying, "Because you didn't wanna lose her as a friend. Yeah I know."
