Segolene Royal: political viagra for Europe? Or just a nice face and body?
823274
Segolene Royal is possibly one of the best things recently to happen in European politics. She will shake up a corrupt and self serving political elite within France and make a real impact on the wider European scene. The French will have a better experience with their first woman leader than we did here in Britain with Thatcher.\nWhy were the papers full of American election politics and almost no reference was made to this event in our neighbour?

I would say that it is completely subjective, meaning that it varies from person to person. Some people are primarily interested in a girls physique, others are mostly interested in a guys penis size. Others see beauty in personality and arent so interested in looks. People find physical beauty in completely different ways, however, I think there is sortof a common ground. This common ground is, in fact, related to the style of certain celebrities, and what men and women see being portrayed as sexy, pretty, or beautiful on television or through the media. This is not ALWAYS the case, but it is the COMMON GROUND in American beauty. \n   Whats hot and whats not, whats sexy and whats not, whats in and whats out, is completely formless, styleless; like water. It constantly changes, and if you are able to sortof create your own style and wear it with confidence, and it stays within the realm of sanity, you will have people raising eyebrows. \n   I personally think that healthy people are beautiful. I could care less about a girl having double D breasts, but as long as they are at least a b cup, I am good. Even small breasts are ok, on the correct frame, that is. Nice body, nice hair, nice face, and a unique personality is great in being beautiful. Being extremely confident, in my oppinion, is actually a strong turnoff.

Here you go:  \nPfeifer\nTeal Pfeifer\nProfessor Rashad\nEnglish 102\nApril 13, 2003\nDevastating Beauty\nCollarbones, hipbones, cheekbone--so many bones. She looks at the camera with\nsunken eyes, smiling, acting beautiful. Her dress is Versace, or Gucci, or Dior, and it is\nrevealing, revealing every bone and joint in her thin, thin body. She looks fragile and\nbeautiful, as if I could snap her in two. I look at her and feel the soft cushion of flesh that\nsurrounds my own joints, my own shoulders and hips that are broad, my own ribs\nsurrounded by skin and muscle and fat. I am not nearly as fragile or graceful or thin. I\nlook away and wonder what kind of self-discipline it takes to become beautiful like the\nmodel in my magazine.\nBy age seventeen a young woman has seen an average of 250,000 ads featuring a\nseverely underweight woman whose body type is, for the most part, unattainable by any\nmeans, including extreme ones such as anorexia, bulimia, and drug use, according to\nAllison LaVoie (par. 4). The media promote clothing, cigarettes, fragrances, and even\nfood with images like these. In a culture that has become increasingly visual, the images\nput out for public consumption feature women that are a smaller size than ever before. In\n1950, the White Rock Mineral Water girl was 5‚Äô4‚Äù tall and weighed 140 pounds; now she\nis 5‚Äô10‚Äù tall and weighs only 110 pounds, signifying the growing deviation between the\nweight of models and that of the normal female population (Pipher 184).\nSource: Andrea A. Lunsford (Bedford/St. Martin‚Äôs, 2004)\n1\nPage 2\nPfeifer\nThis media phenomenon has had a major effect on the female population as a\nwhole, both young and old. Five to ten million women in America today suffer from an\neating disorder related to poor self-image, and yet advertisements continue to prey on\ninsecurities fueled by a woman‚Äôs desire to be thin. Current estimates reveal that 80\npercent of women are dissatisfied with their appearance and 45 percent of those are on a\ndiet on any given day (‚ÄúStatistics‚Äù). Yet even the most stringent dieting will generally\nfail to create the paper-thin body so valued in the media, and continuing efforts to do so\ncan lead to serious psychological problems such as depression.\nWhile many young women express dissatisfaction with their bodies, they are not\nthe only victims of the emaciated images so frequently presented to them. Young girls\nare equally affected by these images, if not more so. Eighty percent of girls under age ten\nhave already been on a diet and expressed the desire to be thinner and more beautiful\n(Slim Hopes). Thus from a young age, beauty is equated with a specific size. The\nmessage girls get is an insidious one: in order to be your best self, you should wear size 0\nor 1. The pressure only grows more intense as girls grow up. According to results from\nthe Kaiser Family Foundation Survey ‚ÄúReflections of Girls in the Media,‚Äù 16 percent of\nten- to seventeen-year-old girls reported that they had dieted or exercised to look like a\nTV character. Yet two-thirds of teenage girls acknowledged that these thin characters\nwere not an accurate reflection of ‚Äúreal life‚Äù (qtd. in Dittrich, ‚ÄúChildren‚Äù pars. 2-3).\nIt is tragic to see so much of the American population obsessed with weight and\nreaching an ideal that is, for the most part, ultimately unattainable. Equally troubling is\nthe role magazines play in feeding this obsession. When a researcher asked female\nstudents from Stanford University to flip through several magazines containing images of\nglamorized, super-thin models, 68 percent of the women felt significantly worse about\nSource: Andrea A.

Viagra! I'm 65 and a few years ago found I was having a bit of a problem maintaining erections during intercourse. No problems with masturbation or receiving oral sex because you don't need a full erection of either. Viagra did the trick and I have no problems getting or maintaining erections now. My girlfriend and I are both happy! Nothing to be ashamed about...a very common situation for guys as they get older. A couple of other drugs, Cialis and Levitra work pretty much the same way. If you have the problem, discuss it with your doctor. Don't get ripped off by web purchases...it's more expensive and may even be phony pills. There are a few people that shouldn't take these drugs...it can kill you if you are using nitrite drugs for your heart for example! For the majority of guys it's okay and the doctor will give you a sample pack and a prescription. Side effects are usually minor and temporary...a flushed face, blurred vision, headaches for some (none seem to apply to me). Biggest negative is the cost of pills...$8 to $10 a pop, regardless of the dosage...but it's worth it for a better sex life. Some (but not all) prescription drug plans even cover it! Younger guys, you really don't need it...it's not a magic b---r pill...you still need that manual or visual stimulation to get that erection. It's also one of the most overused drugs in history!

Beauty is in the eye of the beholder.\n\nI think a review of history might show that the beautiful people have done a lot of ugly disgusting things.

Ah! les laboratoires pharmaceutiques...\nComme Landis, j'ai bu de la bière!!! ça ne m'a pas fait gagner une course! Faut qu'en boive peut-être plus!

She would be France's first female president\nDuring an interview with the French weekly Paris Match, Royal hinted that she might consider running for the coming presidential elections, provoking three kinds of reaction. Her announcement went unnoticed or ignored within the ruling conservative camp. It was disregarded and often mocked by most major figures of Royal’s own party. They were confident that her ambitions were the least threatening of all their party’s contenders for the position of official candidate. \n\nIndeed, Royal does not benefit from a support network within the party, unlike all other prominent contenders, whose clout and influence have them often referred to as “the elephants” of the socialist party. \n\nSome of Royal’s fellow party members went so far as to venture into some sexist reactions. Notably the former Prime Minister Laurent Fabius publicly wondered who in the Hollande - Royal family would look after their four children, and the former Minister for Culture Jack Lang said the presidential elections were not a “beauty contest.”\n\nThe third reaction, that of the public’s opinion, is reflected in the opinion polls that were conducted and published since Segolene Royal’s announcement. All of them show that Royal is the most favored left-wing candidate and that her popularity is gaining momentum. A recent poll gave her a four-point lead against Nicolas Sarkozy, the major contender of the conservative camp, in the second round of the presidential elections.

I hear cases such as this one all of the time. It is now common practice at the hospital to insert a video of "Golden Girls" and allow the patient to view Bea Arthur in action. However, it has been found that Rue McClanahan was actually having an adverse effect, so this remedy has now been nixed. \n\nIt has now been determined that watching Hilary Rodham Clinton's speeches have had the same effect in relieving post Viagra'tic Stress Syndrome. \n\nHowever, do note that stealing your roommates wallet and posing as him in order to avoid recognition is fraud and is punishable by having to actually BE in the same room with Hilary Rodham Clinton. My advice to you? Be the bigger man (no pun intended) and stand tall (no pun intended) and rise to the occasion (no pun intended)!!\n\n:)

Pride and morals man, pride and morals....\n\nPride: everyones' done it, the one's that say they don't or never are lying. Its apparently embassing cuz you can't get some!\n\nMoral: Prior to the sexual revolution (circa 1960's) sex and anything to do with it (includes masturbation) was considered taboo, immoral, heinous, deviant behaviour, condeming, and down right not cool. So myths were made since the beginning of civilization to quash these behaviours.\nMyths such as: impotence, blindness, hairloss, growth of hair on the palms of your hands (aka: hairy palms), heart arthimia, or damnation. All of these, and then some have been fabricated to deter people from doing the nasty with themselves!\n\nMasturbation is the simulation of sex (just only with your self) If some people are having sex 3-5 times daily, I'm sure you'll be fine.

Being able to communicate your ideas is key. Having a great idea is just the first step. If you can't convince anyone that it IS great, then you may as well forget about it.\n\nSadly, now that attractive physical attributes play a major role in today's society, you not only have to speak well, you have to look good.\n\nI'm convinced Ralph Nader will NEVER be taken seriously on account of that funky thing he has going on with his right eye. Sad and shallow, just like 75% of our population.

According to Blondie it's best to do it in the USA but that's beside the point. Don't know why but I have a feeling you would definitely know this already... My theory (and possibly the most logical one) is that a) I'm sure people have been 'French kissing' for eons but named it this somewhere in the early 19th/late 18th century b) They named it 'French kissing' because the French are seen as being a notriously randy and sensual people - the same as the 'French letter' (condom). This is a cultural stereotype and not true in all cases - but is in some...and that's the last I'll say on the topic. ; )

yes.  Depending on the country you are interesred in, the royals have studiously compiled geneological tables, pedigrees, if you will.  In England, Debreet's; Germany, Almanac de Gotha; Spain, something medieval sounding;  also,  Italy, Russia, and what was once Catholic Hambsburg Austria do not correspond to the title prepecedence of contemporary England.  For example, a Russian Arch-Duke will out-rank an Italian Prince, it's more semantical/translative in nature than hierachical.   But then Queen Victoria did allow herself to become Empress of India before her daughter was crowned Empress of Prussia.  One could surmise she wanted to ride in the first coach,first.   But, yes the royality of Europe, irrespective of position is well documented and easily located on the web.
