POPSFive People Reality Shows Hurt The Most "And we don't want them to be obsessed with watching Tila Tequila to see if she's ultimately going to choose a guy or a girl to be her partner, either. Boys have plenty of time to learn about bisexuality; they do not need some MySpace whore in a sting bikini and stripper heels encouraging them to think about girls on girls. They'll waste enough time thinking about that when they're good and ready." My sentiments about Tila EXACTLY. Bi's already have enough stigmas to deal with!! Thanks to "The Bachelorette," little girls grow up seeing that if they can't find a husband on their own, they can just go on TV and make out with 25 different hot guys to magically find their Prince Charmings." *sigh* Moral of this story? Children are not small adults but adults can be small children sometimes.

POPSWhat is appropriate discipline? When required children do need appropriate discipline. But, where does discipline end and cruelty begin. I do yell at my grandchildren when I'm really pushed, (still very wrong) I do give the occasional smack. (still wrong). Here is my question and I would really like feed back on this; is it ever acceptable to put a four year old in a small dark closet for any amount of time as punishment and how about when a little seven year old girl throws a ball into a wading pool and splashes you with water, is it acceptable to throw a cup of coffee at her, ( It had lots of milk so it wasn't hot). I have never done the last two and would never think of doing either but someone who should know better has. What should I do?

POPSSmelling a good partner. From the site: "With genetically highly compatible people we feel that rare sensation of perfect chemistry. This is the body’s receptive and welcoming response when immune systems harmonise and fit together. The effects of genetic compatibility Genetic compatibility results in an increased likelihood of forming an enduring and successful relationship. Research has also shown that the sex lives of genetically compatible partners are more satisfying than average. Additionally, fertility rates are higher in genetically compatible couples and they have healthier children. " and it cost only 199$ :)

POPSGanga's story She was sold into sexual slavery and once she escaped her family rejected her because she was a prostitute. I have no words for my anger here. Where would she be now if Shared Hope had not found her? Most likely dead, and unmourned.

POPSTorah Borntrager on "how I escaped the Amish" A young woman who was raised Amish, but who left the community at age 15, tells her story. This is an interview by Tim Ferris (the time-management guru) -- not what I expected to see at his blog at all, but I assume it's genuine.

POPSHamas Children's Show Discusses Severing Hands.... We surely have different cultures and this explains a lot and is foreboding for the future in the area. The last comment is probably applauded by some. :~( Teaching children to kill. How sad is that? Americans can get in trouble for spanking.
