Wouldn't it be great if one segment of the media would focus on the positive things that are taking place in this country and around the world everday (instead of focusing on all the gloom & doom things they usually cover)?????

Good for you, Holly. Now there are at least 2 of us who would like to concentrate on the positive aspects in the news (instead of all the usual crap the media insists on covering)!!!

Hey, Donald, did your Catholic priest molest you when you were a kid? Is that why you're so bitter now?

I think its kind of cool, but depressing.

there are no illegitimate children, only illegitimate parents...........
i am a single mother (divorced) with three children. it's a lot of work to raise even one child alone. i commend those of you that have done it alone from day one. it's easy to abort, but it takes a real commitment to raise a child.
the clock is very depressing. but it's a reality we all face day to day. instead of pointing fingers and complaining, try taking a positive approach to everything. see what you can do to reverse the clock and help your fellow man.

What's wrong with having children out of wedlock??? That's a statement that shows complete disregard for people with beliefs other than yours.

Sigh this person posting the kimkins links is trying to pawn off their affiliate link for a fraudulent and dangerous very low calorie diet scam.
Very low calorie diets should only be done under medical supervision for obese people whom meet specific criteria and only for a short time provided essential nutrients are met. This diet is none of the above hence it's dangerous potential, you have people living off of water or diet drinks alone in their desperation to lose weight fast. Rapid weight loss on it's own carries a lot of risks and needs to be monitored closely.
This diet has made lots of people sick especially with their mental views towards food where these people end up afraid to eat, whats worse is that it has been heavily marketed to teenagers as well. On their forum they had a 14 year old girl struggling to eat only 500 calories per day, she wasn't even over weight!
The founder of the diet (Kimmer) lied about her own weight by basing this diet around her own alleged success at losing the weight and maintaining for 5 years, when she is indeed obese. Her own "after" photos that she used were fake and she also put up a bunch of success stories, which turned out to be almost all fake, with photos stolen from a Russian bride website.
In her paypal account, Kimmer made 1.2 million in one month alone from taking advantage of people desperate to lose weight.
This scam called kimkins has made it to national TV across three different channels and Kimmer has already had to go into court for a deposition for the lawsuit, with snippets aired on TV. You will find a link to the kimkins deposition here amongst links to other articles by others on this controversy:
