Is the public outcry around the Niqab realistic... well in my opinion no but that's the thing about public opinion it is made up of all the various opinions some informed and some not so informed... We come to our opinions based on our knowledge of the topic...our life experiences... the way we are raised and of course the way the topic is portrayed in the media and by people of influence in our community including public officials and political leaders. We wonder how people can be so short sighted to have issues with the wearing of the Niqab but let's face it we have been bombarded with negative imagery of Islam since 9/11 by the media and our public leader we are at a point where many in our community become concerned any time they see someone who might be Islamic but yet there are millions of Islamic people in the world and I would be willing to bet that most are as peace loving as any of us. We have a war or terrorism in north America yet far fewer people have died at the hands of of terrorist then by guns within our community. The fight against terrorists is important but it has become a political lever in the country and the US a way to get votes... keep people afraid and convinced that you will protect them... What we are lacking in this debate is honest political leadership... leaders who look to bring people together instead of apart. Just my Opinion

Before the world ends I want to repair the personal relationships in my life that I have caused to be damaged.

Seasoned Chicken Kabobs with Rice and steamed vegetables... It's been a tough couple of days personally so while I gave up drinking a few years ago it might just be a night to follow supper with a Rye and 7.

What a great thread... Thank You for starting it. We unfortunately live in a society that places hugely unrealistic expectations on females in regards to their appearance... the fashion and advertising Industry with rare exceptions has generated the idea of an ideal woman who really can only exist through massive photoshopping of images of already amazingly beautiful women so I guess it is not a stretch to see men and women accept these images that they are bombarded with as the ideal and to place negative views and comments on images that move away from the fashion and advertising fantasy image...unfortunately I think for this to change we... men and women... need to do exactly what this thread is doing stand up for the reality that people come in all shapes and sizes and are all beautiful and desirable. As a child I was told that beauty is in th eye of the beholder which I understood at the time to mean what one person sees as beautiful might be different then other... well when we are young I think we get that correct until we start to get conditioned by t media about what is "ideal" it's time for us to all find the non discriminating child in us and to demand better from society. As I read the OP's initial post I started to think about my own usage of terminology when posting reviews or posts on threads when referring to ladies and I realized how right she is... I am not saying that I have deliberately used hurtful terms but just that I can see how perhaps I hav not thought very deeply about how my wording would be heard by others or the specific lady in question. It's good to be reminded Thank You While the original poster is correct that I venue like th it is usually men clients using these descriptors I have to say that this issue is not limited to just man as I often see ladies who post very negative comments about the appearance of other ladies... not so much on LYLA due to the rules but check out twitter any day. I guess the nature of this industry will in fact often encourage discussions about people's appearance but in my personal experience in this industry I think it has opened my eyes to the beauty of women who years ago I would never women considered beautiful... this of course my be as much a factor of my maturity as a person but I do think meeting so many amazing women all different has opened my eyes to the beauty and sexiness you can find in everyone. As a result of this thread I hope i am even more conscious of the word I use in the future... thanks Just My Opinion

Groceries...have to cook a special Dinner for a family member this week so needed some outside the regular weekly purchases.

Just got home from the funeral home... not my favorite place.

Well my real answer is Barbs but from the choices offered Pigales.... my memories of my visits to Pigales while fond are also very fuzzy as it was usually very late after lots of drinking that we headed there. Ladies With long hair or ladies with short hair?

Happy Birthday Uponme.... I hope you have a great day.

Happy Birthday... hope you have a great day.

I a not from Ottawa (but will be there next week) but I know both Barbs and Barefax well ... my choice Barb's... fond memories of many evenings there and then back to Delta across the street. Barbs or Playmate?

Whip Cream Positions... Cowgirl or Reverse Cowgirl?

Two Story... (at least as long as my hips last lol) Kitchen sex... counter top or table?

Today it is light grey briefs....

Well the hard work must be working because you look great.... For the record I am 55 and probably look every day of it.

This is an Easy Answer... it a terrible idea so I predict it will be very popular... people love tearing others down especially if they can do it while hiding safely under a rock. Just My Opinion

Supper tonight was a great steak with mashed potatoes and vegs... it was very good. There are so many great restaurants here in St. John's now.

Have you thought about just getting a padded headboard :) (kidding of course).

Heading out to a restaurant for supper...

My children are now adults but I don't have any grandchildren yet so on Halloween I tend to just stay home and try to make the experience for trick or treaters at my door a really fun experience... usually interactive with lights, music, fog Machine and anything else I can find to make each year a unique experience.

Just stopping at Tim's for some lunch before driving the rest of the way home.

Not from Halifax so take my recommendations with a gain of salt...that said when I am in Halifax I always try to get to Saltys on the waterfront for a meal and have never been disappointed.

And we all are very thankful.. :)

Well I can't speak for Ottawa clients but for me personally I would much rather the hug... it immediately makes me feel welcome and at ease and sets the right tone for the rest of the visit. Just my Opinion

Watching My days of playing sports are long over... my only exercise is LYLA exercise lol CBC or CTV or Global?
