Love isn't only between man and woman. You can find love from you friends, your children, your cat and dog. Life is beautiful if you decide so. YOU have to decide that looking at a blue sky, flowers, sea, nature, christmas trees, decorated streets, ... does make you happy. It isn't always easy but it IS possible. Cheer up, Robert!
I SEE them. I cannot help all of them but I always have a little chat with someone approching for begging, or a hello sign to those I meet every day. And I am very proud to say that the King of my country, Belgium, just offered 2 appartments he owns, to homeless families during this cold and snowy winter.
Monash University public health expert Dr Nathan Grills says Santa Claus promotes obesity, speeding, drink-driving • From: Herald Sun - December 18, 2009
WITH his portly belly and a fondness for a brandy-fuelled spin on the sleigh, Santa Claus is hardly the picture of health or safety. Now his wild ways are catching up with him, with calls for a radical overhaul of his bad boy image. A study by Monash University public health expert Dr Nathan Grills found Santa could be promoting obesity, speeding and drink-driving, and damaging millions of lives. The childhood legend should be used to promote a healthy lifestyle, the study, published in the British Medical Journal, found. It suggested Santa slim down by ditching the cookies, mince pies and milk, and instead snacking on his reindeers' carrots and celery sticks. Santa also should trade in the sleigh for a bike or throw his sack over his shoulder and hit the global road on foot. And the brandy should definitely be banished, because of its pound-piling potential. It could also put Santa at risk of drink-driving, given that he visits billions of houses and takes a tipple at each. His reckless behaviour could also encourage extreme sports such as roof surfing and chimney jumping - not to mention speeding. At the very least he should buckle up or don a helmet, the study says. Santa also has the potential to spread infectious diseases, the review warns. If he sneezes or coughs around 10 times a day, all the children who sit on his lap may end up with swine flu. Dr Grills denied he was a "public health scrooge". "I wouldn't go as far as saying that Santa causes obesity - it's more about raising wider issues around advertising and public health," he said. "Christmas is about a loving and giving. I would like to see us reclaim that part of Santa, not seeing him used as a pawn in a marketing campaign." Given Santa's popularity Dr Grills argues that "Santa only needs to affect health by 0.1 per cent to damage millions of lives".
I'm here since 6 months but only received mails from 20 years old men living at the other side of the world. Fortunately I discovered the Forums and am having great time in reading all the debates. Sometimes It is really funny, people have a great sense of humour.
Again I'm NOT saying the incident did not happen. I do believe it happened. But I have doubts about who organised the incident. Yes, it could be a jealous husband, the Mafia (but then there would be more than 2 broken teeth) as well as his publicity agents.

RE: What do women want most......
There is no "women in general". We all are unique!
