Other - Society & Culture - 27 February 2007

I saw an episode of Independent Lens on PBS recently. It was on Rap Music (which I'm not a fan of). However, it posed an interesting idea as it relates to rappers and the mindset that you have to be "hard" to the world in order to be taken seriously, in order to be taken as a man.
That made me wonder, what do other cultures think "being a man" is? What do I think? What do you fine people on YA think? Does society value certain traits that you don't?
Tell me YA, What makes a man?

I cant believe their targeting McDonalds as the blame for fat kids!
These kids are fat due to bad parenting and lazyness.
Alot of parents cant be bothered to cook for their children anymore so they take the easy option of take away or micro meals.
McDonalds is there as a treat maybe on a saturday but not everyday and if these children are going every day, then the parents are to blame if you ask me not McDonalds.
My son is a healthy lad and can put plenty of food away, but he eats good food, not just crap and as a treat he probably gets fast food about once or twice a month, if I thought he was getting fat I would change his diet, (for his own good), lets not forget that these fat kids are also stocking up on crisps and chocolate while their not at mcdonalds shall we ban them too.
I just think everything is getting way out of hand, and parents should be held responsible and given help if they need it blame should not be put on anyone else.
What do you think?

Does anybody else agree that men they know turn into monsters when they are hungry?
Does that mean that the old saying is true "The fastest way to a man's heart is through his stomach"?

I'm looking for examples of things people do only once a day like shaving or having breakfast.

I am trying to find examples of things which function better in pairs or with dual action. Example is a sponge with one rough side for scouring and the other for soft cleaning. Something along those lines where the two parts compliment each other.

Prince Charles mentioned to a nutritionist that banning McDonalds was "the key" in fighting childhood obesity and diabetes.

McDonald's counter was that he was obviously not aware of the steps they had taken recently, citing an improved menu and nutritional labelling.

Who do you side with? Should we ban McDonalds and other fast food, or put an age limit on it?
