Jesus Friggin' Christ...


That is not attractive. Nonono.

I feels like a cliché to even talk about it, but goddamn this is sick. I hate how people are so warped in this society that they think anything without ribs showing is overweight. Moreso, I hate this society for creating and fostering this mindset, and making this physcholigical disorder spread like it has.

If you can see most of your skeleton, you're not healthy. If you like seeing most of your skeleton, you're even less so.

It's so sick that this "sex sells" environment we live in has created this kind of disorder. Well, I'm a consumer, and I don't find that sexy. I find that disturbing. And I hope everyone else feels the same. I'm glad that more healthy bodies are getting time in the media spotlight these days, but it's not enough. There has to be a wider movement. There's so much social stigma put on being overweight. But if you're not moribdly obese, anyone's at least million times healthier than someone like this. This kills people.

You know something's seriously wrong when little kids think they have to be thin and attractive and 'sexy'. They're kids, the the media has them worshipping anorexic teenyboppers and obsessing over their appearance. Little girls should not care about their image. They should not be wearing tight pleather pants because Britney did in some video. A child's life is precious because it's pure. They don't care about their image, or what's "cool" or what colour skin their friends have. But more and more, children are being warped by this society and being strapped down with the sins it carries. This is just too fucking much.

Sometimes it takes a picture like this to get the brain moving. Just look at it. How do you feel?

(I don't know if that picture's real or if the head is photoshopped on, but the statement stands regardless.)

i get the feeling that that photograph is photoshopped, but either way that is frighteningly thin. you're correct about the message that the media and pop culture is sending out there.

Too Too Right
I couldn't agree with you more. That picture is too thin, in fact I think see should see a doctor... he, or whoever the real body belongs to.
Little Children, as Jesus said, are the ones that heaven is offered to, becuasde they are happy, innocent, full of energy and pure. If we put a kid in the chair of the president, who had a good disciplined background, I think we would see more human rights being activiated in US then they are now! That aside, Children should have the rigt to have happy childhoods, and not be bothered by adult images like that. If they are 25 and want to look like that that is their lose, but children should not have to worry about that. CHildren's job is to be happy, learn, and enjoy childhood before they work their asses off for 40 years of their life! No child should feel like they have to look like that! Who else here agrees with me?

You are definately right. A childs mind is so succeptable (sp?) to what they see, hear, and experience. Everyone is different, and diversity reigns supreme in the world today. It takes one of every kind to make the world go round.

What I am trying to say is that; You may not agree with this, simply because it makes you feel pain, confusion and even anger. To someone else, this might make them feel pleasure, lust or even envy. Just cause you think it is unhealthy doesn't mean it is wrong. Look at all the smokers in this world. DEFINATELY unhealty, maybe even more unhealthy then this is.

If a child wants to grow up to be THIS, then all the power to that child. We have to make some descisions about our future when we are young. We are definately a product of our respective environments, and if this is someones environment, then we should learn to embrace and respect the walk of life that this person has chosen to take.

On the exact flipside, why dont you argue children being exposed to obeisety? Obiesety is an affliction not unlike this one, albeit, i dont think that children will strive to be overweight by being surrounded by obiese people, but obiesety is more of a problem then THIS ever will be.

I may be ranting, but what I am trying to say is; This person has made a choice. Whether it is healthy or not is of no ones concern aside from this person. Whether you agree with it or not is your opinion, and doesn't justify right or wrong. In other words, if you don't like it, don't buy into it, go look at something that does yank your chain - LIKE PAMELA ANDERSON IN SERAN WRAP! WOOOOOOOOT!! :):):):):)

You have your likes and dislikes, and so does she. For example; You like food, she doesn't. She likes low-muscle mass, and you like being able to lift your own body weight. It all works out in the end somehow. Sometimes we just have to turn a blind eye to the things that bother us...

I agree with Spad here its their choice so leave it to them even if you dont agree with it. But as for that picture to me its like something out or a horror movie or something its just not right but thats my opinion and as for children being affected by everything around them why is the war getting broadcasted when childrens progams are being shown and why do they put pictures of mass destruction everywhere for them to be affected by. Theres nothing perfect in the world and you cant protect children from everything because they make their own choices in what they want to become.

i dont even know if that makes sense but its only my opinion.

I don't think this is more an issue of diversity than it is health, though. Anorexia is a phychological disorder, not a lifestyle choice. It's not as if someone gets up one day and decides they want to be gaunt, it's a disorder that makes them feel they're fat and need to lose weight to be attractive when they're not fat at all.

This is a problem. If a grown adult is going to live with the disorder and not want help for it, that's their choice. But this is inpacting children and ruining their lives, and that's something I think we should all refuse to "turn a blind eye" to. IMO, that just adds to the problem.

...but it isn't your problem. This isn't an epidemic dood. It is a needle in the spoon of society at large. If you don't like it, don't look at it.

If it's society's problem, it's kinda everyone's problem, don't you think?

And what about little kids who are being media-brainwashed into these disorders? They don't know better. They see and hear what is being shown to them, Is that your advice to them, too? "Don't look at it"?

Seems a little apathetic.
