But alas I once had a neighbor who was overweight, alchoholic, undereducated who was alway yelling at her unemployed boyfriend or at her underachieving potato chip eating delinquent spawns. So that kills that hypothesis.
Trust me getting exasperated at BBC news can become a chronic illness. Watch channel 4 news instead, although that itself is dumbing down at an alarming rate.
This may be related in a tangental fashion but I'm a little frustrated with the views that argue women are being empowered by these movie roles depicting strong women such as Tomb Raider, Kill Bill, etc. and that these films are progressive in the sense that they transcend gender rolls. But, these 'warrior women' are still beautiful in a very traditional way, they perpetuate heteronormativity, and they are sexualized characters wearing skimpy clothes. They'e sill made into an image.
well when i worked out 2-3 hours a day for 3 years, i did get stronger but did not get more aggressive or entitled, i just felt better and life was easier and people treated me better.
so i think the magnitude of the effect is very slight when it comes to a sense of entitlement compared to the other positive benefits of working out and increasing physical strength.
well...i really don't care what color hair you have.....i'd love to be behind you or at your side in a fight....but then.....you are too smart to have on the front line....i'd do my best to fight for a true red-blooded american...like you
Do you believe a study that tells lies about a specific mutation that only found within one 'racial' group/pool of genetics is racist? Is this a racist, anti-White study? Blonde hair is distinct to "white" people of Eurasian descent and mostly white Europeans.
Is this study any different than a study that says black Africans with larger lips are more prone to violence, for example?
I bet that it's just because u can trace back in the Talmud & Torah , along w/ the views of many top rabbis, that northern Europeans are the biggest threat to jewish domination & thats why they need to be eliminated. The same reason jews set up the Romans for destruction by the Moor's w/ their form of multi-culturism.(mass rape). Same thing w/ the (blonde) Greeks. Same thing in WW2 w/ the Russians ordering soldiers to rape all European women they encountered.Now its happening again subversively.
Clicking this, I assumed I'd hear a hate rant against blondes from a jealous jewess. LOL! Sorry' bout that. There's too much of that going around unfortunately. In any case, this was more about the ridiculous state of our media! Yay. They do NOT report the truth. IMHO, their purpose is to dumb down & social engineer the 90% who are either too gullible, busy, or afraid to research & find the truth. Cuz that's what u have to do to get it. Work. Hard. Good vid btw.
Blonde and therefore confident, or insecure and therefore bleached?? It wouldn't surprise me that blondes don't think they are more attractive. Isn't that the reason more than a few of them became blonde?
Reminds me of a study that "proved" moderate drinkers are more healthy than non-drinkers. Turns out the 'non-drinking' group contained abstinant alcoholics with serious health consiquences... FROM DRINKING!! Would tend to skew results, eh??
@rkwatson Is sexualizing like the N-word? in that it's ok for a chick to do it to herself, but not ok 4 a dude to do it to a chick. or was the message on the shirt printed on top of the breasteses meant to be entirely platonic.
*looks baffled* when did news ever tell the truth? *shrugs*
Aside from that, I will not mention how good your shirt looks, it makes me seem like all I was doing was staring at your breast....instead, I will ask what's wrong with your eyebrow? maybe it's just a shadow, lighting is weird angled, might want to think about putting the camera facing directly away from the light so we can see all of your pretty face :)
I just spent 3.15 secs considering your points. As for your arguement I have to agree with you totally, the BBC should be ashamed of this blatant display of sexism.
I like big titties. I'm not worried about what colour hair as much as nice nipples. Ho's be like ice cream. Sometimes I want chocolate, sometimes vanilla, and damn sometimes a guy needs Neopolitian.
You have nice jugs btw. I'd like to get you drunk and power bang you whilst you scream " Pound my warrior pussy!! " take care.
Nice video: a round of applause to you and Mr. Sager. It is depressing to see this much ineptitude in the newsroom, and this isn't even something you can blame on recent job cuts in the industry.
While the study itself was only of mild interest (who would have suspected attractive women(people) and strong men tend to have a greater sense of entitlement,) it did not deserve the mistreatment the press gave it; misreported first and then 'corrected' into a puff piece.
I get approx. two pence every time someone clicks one of those. And most are so awful that no one ever actually clicks them, so, yeah. Hence, the "serious money" part of my response!
The worst part about the bad science reporting is that it leads to public mistrust... of science! But it should lead to public mistrust of the media, and yet it doesn't. Why?!
Also, I thought redheads were the warrior women. At least that's my anecdotal experience.
To legally watch tv in the uk each household pays the bbc a licence fee of £142.00 a year. To get more truthful news maybe we need to pay more. I like the bbc but hate funding bullshit.
Whoa a journalist not printing the facts but a juicy story... No surprise then. Those that can write, do. Those that can't write become jourlalists or scumrakers.
it really depends on who report the news, not where you get it. If you read science based blogs to get your science news , that certainly would be more safe than getting our science news from cnn or bbc, I remember one a reporter on cnn going on about how magnetic waves travel through air.
Gosh, you sure are pretty when you're angry, Rebecca.
In all seriousness, though, I wouldn't worry about it too much. The sort of person stupid enough to buy into an article like that usually wouldn't be reading that sort of article in the first place.
Yeah, most journalists suck, not only in reporting science but pretty much anything. This is only the tip of the tip of one iceberg. I'm from Italy so unfortunately I know a lot more than I would have liked about how bad journalism can be...
rwese: "Next up on BBC The ultimate truth about how homeopathy actually works!"
It does! After all, from the looks of this article, it's become their preferred method of reporting! (The amount of facts checked in one of their articles, held against how much they actually said about the 'story' = the amount of actual medicine in a given homeopathic remedy.)
Getting angry makes you beautiful.
But alas I once had a neighbor who was overweight, alchoholic, undereducated who was alway yelling at her unemployed boyfriend or at her underachieving potato chip eating delinquent spawns. So that kills that hypothesis.
