Comment on Asking Santa for an eating disorder: Popular Bratz dolls promote sexual promiscuity, unhealthy body image by Siren

C’MON miss hypocritical. Dig deep inside and you will find the real meaning “Bratz” are so popular. I am 24 and I walked through the isles of Walmart, Target, and where ever else with my former boyfriend of one year. Do you know what would come out of my mouth? “Oh my god, I can’t believe these are marketed to LITTLE GIRLS.” “Oh you have got to be kidding me, Halloween Cloe looks like a stripper… I swear I have seen that outfit on ebay under “Sex Slave” before.”
Here’s the truth. I don’t have kids– that is fact, but I got addicted to the unique fashion, the sexy, not-too-blatant but not-too-dull look they have. Sure they are gobbed with makeup and imperfection is not to be found no matter which girl (or guy) you buy. Sure 1,000 other complaints that you don’t want to see in pre-school.
I buy the unique, creative, “passion for fashion” as marketed dolls I see now. I love them because they are plastic and nothing more. An image is what you make it, a concept is what you mold it into. When I have children, they will be able to play with Bratz– because they will know the value of using their mind, their personality, their creativity, their smile and their distress, to interact and meet people.
Bratz will only say “sex it up if you want a man” if their mommy or daddy teaches it, in my opinion.

Good article!

Comment on Service Learning: Students Reflect by Sean Grove

It seems like the service learning programs are certainly growing - that’s a fairly diverse list of projects. Although all sound inspiring, Bridget and Emily’s projects seems particularly relevant (I’m not much for outdoors and working with my hands, but I do love helping individuals).

How long has the program been running at Aquinas college? Has it been growing in recent years?

Comment on Special Report: Magic of Mackinac not lost on adults by Robert Farmer

Robert Farmer — Wed, 10 Sep 2008 23:07:08 +0000

Mackinac Island…. being from up here I[Elk Rapids] avoid the ISsand except when working there.
BEST time to see Island is when they are JUST beginning to break ice to get over there. NOBODY on Island. …say late April
BEST things to do on Island: Watch Seagulls in August heat play with Bats they’ve killed… the gulls gang up, kill one and then throw it around unt one eats it!
Also go to the original fort.. way, way back on Island.. foot travel only.. plus you have to pass by caves where bats live & hundreds of thousands of them come out each night a dusk..

I am fairly certain Lezak is 32 rather than 35, for what it is worth. Incredible swim.

Comment on Bitter Hillary supporters going for McCain? Let ‘em. by Big Tex

Big Tex — Wed, 18 Jun 2008 14:21:14 +0000

I notice that Ed refused to respond to the point raised in the article that Obama and Clinton are nearly identical on foreign policy. Hillary and McCain are on diametrically opposite sides of the spectrum on just about every issue. And this talk of McCain baing a “moderate” is garbage - aside from a few isolated cases he’s been a consistent vote for the agenda of George Bush and the hard right. He opposes a woman’s right to have an abortion, he supports privatizing health care and George Bush’s tax breaks for the wealthy, he voted for the bankruptcy bill, and he wants to keep troops in Iraq for a hundred years.

Let’s be perfectly clear: the only reason that self-described redneck Ed Hale is voting for McCain is because McCain is white, Obama is black, and Hale is a racist. No rational reason exists for a person who voted for Hillary Clinton and who ostensibly supports her policy proposals to turn around and vote for a right-wing Republican. The “experience” argument is hogwash, because all of McCain’s experience didn’t provide him with the judgment to oppose George Bush’s adventure in Iraq, and it certainly hasn’t prevented him from continuing to support the war even after it’s been exposed that the war was based on lies and cooked intelligence, and despite the fact that the war has been an utter failure.

gosh i guess im a typical white woman holding to my faith and guns. Funny thing is I don’t even own a gun, but I own an opinion, and here it is Obama is simply not qualified to be president. I don’t care what race he is, look at his time in office not very long hmmmmm. Do you want him in charge if one of those tiny little countries attack us or one of our allies? I sure don’t. Obama cannot make good decisions while picking a vp council now thats scary. Yes I am a hillery supporter, but I’m not stupid .we need someone with foreign policy experience , I don’t care how old he is with age comes experience.
