Girl Gets Mad After Getting A new Lexus

See the Video Here

This girl, cries after her mother purchases a $60,000 Lexus. Her mother didn't give her the car at the 'right time' and has thus ruined her party and life.http://video.aol.com/video-search/id/1425913128Go through the video until the timer on the left says 1:50.Kids espesically AMERICAN Kids these days are going to hell. Most kids don't even get a car on their 16th birthday, and this one cries about getting an expensive one at the wrong time.

Excess, Fat, & The American Dream

*****As you may know, I do live in America, but I am not all for the "American Dream".
Millions of Americans spend their lives semi-conscious, unable to awaken from the darker version of the American Dream – an endless parade of office buildings, meetings, McDonalds and television commercials.

Instead of pursuing purpose, it's material things: plasma televisions, new cars, and granite countertops. Working at hated jobs only to buy things that are not needed. Always wanting more material things even after achieving a comfortable lifestyle.

The Fat American

(which I love to hate)

*****Every person throughout history has had to consume to survive, but to consume more than one needs, has traditionally been considered vulgar. Beyond a certain point, possessions, and food do not increase happiness. Of course, it is better that we should live in a land of plenty than in shacks; abundance is good. Excess (not abundance) is not so great, since "excess" (in a sense) voids purpose. Sometimes I think the New American dream is: "excess is barely enough" <<this is what I've come to think

Typical Americans:

"A lawsuit by a group of American teenagers who claim the fast food chain McDonald's is responsible for their obesity". < < Is it the place of the law to protect them against their own excesses?

"The lawsuit, filed by lawyer Samuel Hirsch in a Manhattan federal court, alleges McDonald's violated New York state's consumer fraud statutes by deliberately misleading consumers into thinking their products were healthy and nutritious." < < Well really, how naive can you be? Especially when you see and hear about a million others becoming fat? This makes me sick.

"They developed health problems such as diabetes, high blood pressure and obesity from eating its products.
Most of the teenagers lived on a daily diet of burgers and fries from the restaurant."

I can be lazy, but there is a threshold of laziness that I will not even allow myself to reach. The above pictures shatter the allowable threshold of laziness.

All blue eyed people are related to one another

Blue-eyed Humans Have A Single, Common Ancestor

New research shows that people with blue eyes have a single, common ancestor. A team at the University of Copenhagen have tracked down a genetic mutation which took place 6-10,000 years ago and is the cause of the eye colour of all blue-eyed humans alive on the planet today.

(Variation in the colour of the eyes from brown to green can all be explained by the amount of melanin in the iris, but blue-eyed individuals only have a small degree of variation in the amount of melanin in their eyes. )

What is the genetic mutation?

“Originally, we all had brown eyes”, said Professor Eiberg from the Department of Cellular and Molecular Medicine. “But a genetic mutation fecting the OCA2 gene in our chromosomes resulted in the creation of a “switch”, which literally “turned off” the ability to produce brown eyes”. The OCA2 gene codes for the so-called P protein, which is involved in the production of melanin, the pigment that gives colour to our hair, eyes and skin. The “switch”, which is located in the gene adjacent to OCA2 does not, however, turn off the gene entirely, but rather limits its action to reducing the production of melanin in the iris – effectively “diluting” brown eyes to blue. The switch’s effect on OCA2 is very specific therefore. If the OCA2 gene had been completely destroyed or turned off, human beings would be without melanin in their hair, eyes or skin colour – a condition known as albinism.

Limited genetic variation
Variation in the colour of the eyes from brown to green can all be explained by the amount of melanin in the iris, but blue-eyed individuals only have a small degree of variation in the amount of melanin in their eyes. “From this we can conclude that all blue-eyed individuals are linked to the same ancestor,” says Professor Eiberg. “They have all inherited the same switch at exactly the same spot in their DNA.” Brown-eyed individuals, by contrast, have considerable individual variation in the area of their DNA that controls melanin production.

Professor Eiberg and his team examined mitochondrial DNA and compared the eye colour of blue-eyed individuals in countries as diverse as Jordan, Denmark and Turkey. His findings are the latest in a decade of genetic research, which began in 1996, when Professor Eiberg first implicated the OCA2 gene as being responsible for eye colour.

Nature shuffles our genes
The mutation of brown eyes to blue represents neither a positive nor a negative mutation. It is one of several mutations such as hair colour, baldness, freckles and beauty spots, which neither increases nor reduces a human’s chance of survival. As Professor Eiberg says, “it simply shows that nature is constantly shuffling the human genome, creating a genetic cocktail of human chromosomes and trying out different changes as it does so.”

If you like NP as much as I do, you will enjoy this. I have already seen these in a Gucci store near me!

Truth in advertising

The shirts are right. Now that's truth in advertising if I ever saw it.

ANOTHER American way of making people fat?

Food & Drink In One Container? It's called the Col-Pop, & you don’t need to carry two separate containers for your drink and for your food.
Another American way of making people fat, but in a more efficiant way.

These Models are not Anorexic

There are plenty of sources, that use these photos to warn of the dangers of Anorexia:

__________________________________________
Most "regualar people"* seem to blur the line between Anorexic and "skinny" which annoys me, so I'm here to set the record straight.

*(By "regular people" I mean the common generalists, uninformed, and usually unfamiliar with high fashion.)

I have seen "Reg.people" call a chubby girl thin, and a thin girl anorexic.
(I think this might be because so many Americans are quite fat, when they see a girl who is chubby, they think she's thin.)

People should know by now(like me) that anorexia dosen't sell, but Skinny does.
I personally think Skinny is beautiful and, YES, that Anorexia is ugly.

Bad Eyebrows

Eyebrows are important, and I can't stand a woman with bad eyebrows. It drives me crazy wanting to fix them, she looks bad, and it makes me want to show you the following pictures. Tell me what you think. Is it just me? Got some to share? I'd love to see them:)

Now, this lady has worse problems than eyebrow problems, but THEY are still a problem...

I don't know whats wrong with this person, but in the mean time, she has bad brows!

Well groomed eyebrows can transform a face. They are the frame of our eyes, consequently, they have the power to change the look.
