POPSA little Kiss The older lady was thinking, "Isn't it wonderful that even in this permissive day and age there are still young women who have a little self-respect and dignity?" The young woman, shaking her head and greatly puzzled, asked herself, "Why in the world would any man in his right mind want to kiss an old fossil like that when I'm sitting here?" The Sergeant Major, rubbing his sore face, was outraged that any woman could ever think that a man in his position would try to sneak a kiss in the dark. And the private, grinning from ear to ear, was thinking, "What a crazy and mixed up world this is when a private can kiss the back of his hand and then smack a Sergeant Major in the face and get away with it!"

POPSRuslana's Wild Energy: Singing Ukraine Into An Energy Revolution 
Ruslana is Ukraine's biggest pop star: her new album "Wild Energy" represents the energy of the sun, the energy of the wind, the energy of water…. renewable energy and energy independence. Ukraine is among the most energy-intensive countries in the world, but most of their energy comes from Russia. Ruslana is a Ukrainian nationalist, one of the protesters in 2004, during the Orange Revolution. She had a seat in the Ukrainian parliament. Now she's trying to reduce Ukraine's dependence on natural gas imported from Russia. She does not sing about carbon footprints and gas prices; she sings about the wild energy of love. It triumphs over a synthetic world, dependent on synthetic energy. In the video: that world is represented by a pale, metallic-looking woman who gets her strength from a giant machine…. Ruslana's depiction of a woman dependent on fossil fuels for energy. If Ukraine can embrace renewable energy they could break free from their dependence on natural gas…and Russia

POPSObama Shifts on Abortion Another disappointment , really. Obama's not a doctor -- and it shows. By making a distinction between "mental distress" and "a serious physical issue," he makes the far too common mistake of discounting mental illness -- like depression -- as a "real" and damaging illness. What he should do is leave the medical stuff alone and think like a lawyer -- which he is. Is there a reason to limit a woman's choices at a certain stage of pregnancy and, if so, what are they? Arguing from a position of ignorance is never a good idea.

POPSIslam's Biggest Enemy Is The Muslims Themselves
U.N. Human Rights Council, the Saudi Shura Council raised objections, since reviling other religions is one of Islam's central precepts. "The ones who harm the Prophet are those who believe that woman is lewd, and that she detracts from the purity of prayer just like a dog or a donkey...and those who believe that a woman lacks intelligence. "The ones who harm the Prophet are the rulers of Arab states who have made their countries the last bastions of tyranny and dictatorship in the world, and who demand submission to religious texts to justify their crimes. "The ones who harm the Prophet do not live in the West - they are among us, the Muslims. It is the Muslims who have fashioned an Islamic model that is inherently terrorist, hypocritical, life-negating, and sustained by the murder of others in the name of jihad and by attacks on freedom of opinion under the pretext of defending Islamic national principles. This is what we - and no one else - have produced."

POPSFamily Details Troubled Life Of Man Behind Rampage But then, he said, a Jewish watchdog group stole her away in the dead of night and returned her to her family. Shortly afterward, he was sent to prison for a year, for what other family members and police said were drug-related charges. “The problems started after he was in jail. After he came out of jail, he was always alone. … He is a good man, but after prison, he was confused and nervous,” his cousin said. However, his family arranged a marriage with a young woman from his village, and they now have two young sons. Israeli police spent Wednesday afternoon interrogating his family but then left, and have said they believe he was acting alone.

POPSPsychiatric Emergency Rooms are Appalling My dissertation research uncovered dozens of stories of abusive and incompetent psychiatric emergency rooms. I hope at least these woman's death will draw attention to an invisible and longstanding American problem.

POPSMental health services neglect of dignity alright hopefully this will stir people into action mental health is highly stigmatised probably due to its past It still begs for a lot of improvement its seems to me psychiatrists are taken as infallible,while other aspects of life and treatment are ignored other than the purely intellectual analytical scientific standpoint I know its improving but it has a long way to go people need to wake up from their routine and the status quo and be more caring

POPSwoman dies at hosp - nobody gives a f%#k "In reponse to the damning video and the other claims, the hospital says it is increasing staffing and bringing in new protocols, including that patients in the emergency room have to be checked every 15 minutes." yeah...one protocol that should never be asked is CARE for others.

POPSWhy Nice Guys Finish Last Too bad we didn't all know this in high school. Haha. Well I hope it helps out a lot of guys (and girls) out there! Nice guys rock! I don't totally agree with this article though it does make a valid point, I think it's just as much that many women aren't mature enough to appreciate a gentleman.

POPSBaby to be born free of breast cancer after embryo screening This case of genetic intervention for the elimination of genetic diseases, is a ground breaking first that may change our world and our ethical outlook. Many more will follow. I was quite surprised to read the following: "Some critics say it is wrong to destroy embryos because there is only a chance women with the gene may develop breast cancer in adulthood. They argue that, increasingly, breast cancer can also be successfully treated. " The said "embryos" are 3 days old lumps of undifferentiated cells.
