POPSclipmarks POP-A-THON: $1 per POP for UNICEF! For every POP this clip gets between now and 10 p.m. Eastern on Halloween 2006, I will give $1 to my nephew's school Trick-or-Treat for UNICEF campaign (up to $200). The POP will cost you nothing, it will cost me a $1. What do you have to lose? Let's help make some internet history by being part of (what I believe is) the first social bookmarking/networking community "POP-A-THON"! Imagine if every clipmarker gave $1 to a charity of choice for every one of their POPs?

POPSThe Girls 'Sexualised' At Age Of Five Researcher Dr Eileen Zurbriggen said that girls as young at four are at risk. "The consequences of the sexualisation of girls in media today are very real and are likely to be a negative influence on girls' healthy development," she said. "As a society, we need to replace all these sexualised images with ones showing girls in positive settings. "The goal should be to deliver messages to all adolescents - boy and girls - that lead to healthy sexual development." Michele Elliot, of child protection charity Kidscape, said: "Bratz dolls are little sexualised creatures which give the wrong message to kids. "Let them be kids. We have got children of 12, 13 and 14 who are ashamed that they haven't had sex yet. They think sex is the be all and end all." A spokesman for Bratz said that children see the dolls as being pretty rather than sexy.

POPSBrave Jack Russell Died To Save Children From Pitbull Attack "There's no doubt that George was a small dog with a lion's share of courage," said PDSA director general Jan McLoughlin. "Each account of his devotion to the five children on the day of the incident tells of a dog that was not afraid to face great fear in order to protect his friends. "The children will never forget George's sacrifice and PDSA is proud to honour this exceptionally brave dog."

POPSOld news, Good news? Masturbation 'cuts cancer risk' Dr Chris Hiley, head of policy and research at the UK's Prostate Cancer Charity, said "This is a plausible theory." "In the same way the human papillomavirus has been linked to cervical cancer, there is a suggestion that bits of prostate cancer may be related to a sexually transmitted infection earlier in life."

POPSThere are more slaves today... ...than at any other time in history. Twice as many slaves as when Lincoln signed the Emancipation Proclamation. Our Congress just apologized for historical slavery in America, but what about the people in slavery today? I urge you to go to the website www.callandresponse.com and find out ways to respond, ways to act. Here is an opportunity to create hope and change. It isn't called Awarenessism, it's called Activism. Let's act.

POPSGuy rapes a 10 year old, he gets 2 years, serves 10 months. He gave Fenn concurrent two-year and 18-month sentences, but he will be free in eight weeks after serving eight months in prison awaiting sentence. Wright is already free as Judge Hall had already given him a nine-month sentence for inciting the girl to perform a sex act. Dr Michele Elliott, director of Kidscape said the decision had left her "lost for words". She said: "It takes us back to the 1950s when the victim was blamed if they were dressed provocatively. "No one in my opinion could mistake a 10-year-old child, even dressed up, for a 16-year-old. They are just trying very hard to find excuses. "You can never blame a child victim for sexual abuse when excusing the abuser of any kind of abuse." The NSPCC added: "There is no excuse for having sex with a 10-year-old, no matter how she dresses." This guy & his accomplice deserves to be shot. I'm sick and tired of child rapists getting next to nothing for their crimes.

POPSGay Snipers Are Out To Ruin Your Family OMG!!! The queers are out to not only ruin the "biblical" definition of marriage, but to hit your pocketbook with costly litigation! Imagine the nerve. Who are these people to demand equal rights? Well, they are your neighbor, the nurse that took care of your dying parent in the hospital, and your friend that sits beside you in church. This is fear mongering plain and simple. It's normal to not understand those desires that are not your own, but intelligent people recognize the differences in us all and celebrate them. The truth of the matter is that our Governor Joe Manchin would never sign legislation giving the equal rights routinely given to heterosexuals who are allowed to marry each other. He knows if he wants to serve another term he would never even think such a thought. It's political suicide in this state.
