When my daughter was 8, her lips were red, her cheeks blushed and her
eyelids and overall form where exactly what all the fashion models are
dieing for. It really hit home to me that we have a big, big problem in the
USA or perhaps the world. The media is slowly training men (NOT ME) to be
pedophiles. Or perhaps most men are pedophiles and the media is reacting to
that. One way or the other it is SICK! I almost went and got a shotgun, and
I still watch anyone who is around my little girl like a hawk. And she wears
sack cloth and ashes compared to what some of the other little girls are
allowed to run around in. 

I have always been attracted to women with curves rather than stick figures.
I like mature, curvatious females with long dark hair and olive skin. And
there was a university study where they showed a representative sample of
males a set of pictures of different women and ask them if they would most
like to A) take this girl out to a public function B) take this girl to bed
or C) take this girl as a partner / wife. The skinny fashion model types
ended up with A. The curvy ones got the B and the overweight ones got C. So
I think most men are like me: Attracted to REAL women rather than the ones
that are trying to look like they are little girls. My answer would have
been, and is: B. B! and B!!!

So why do we have the "heroin chic" (more accurately "pre-pubescent") look
on all the magazines, TV shows, and runways? Damned if I know. It isn't like
that in other countries. Most of the Latin world doesn't have the problem
except when the US imports it.

If there is any one thing we need to talk about and work out in our society,
it is this... IMHO.
