Seriously though, such laws are hard to enforce. The V15 campaign that the US state department financed against Netanyahu in Israel's last elections is a prime example of how this kind of laws can be circumvented. They ran a campaign to oust the sitting government as opposed to campaigning for a specific party or candidate.If Algeria introduced a resolution declaring that the earth was flat and that Israel had flattened it, it would pass by a vote of 164 to 13 with 26 abstentions.- Abba Eban.

The problem is not that Waygu isn't good for you; it's that you are paying for Kobe and getting Waygu which is much cheaper. Think paying for a salmon steak and getting a can of sardines. Sardines may even be healthier for you than salmon but you did not pay the price of sardines.If Algeria introduced a resolution declaring that the earth was flat and that Israel had flattened it, it would pass by a vote of 164 to 13 with 26 abstentions.- Abba Eban.

And then ban any and all financial (or other forms of compensation, monetary or not) contributions to politicians.
But of course, that will never happen. These politicians aren't going to vote to cut their own throats, regardless of what the public wants.

The problem isn't enforcing the laws, the problem is getting the legislature or government to enact good laws to prevent it.
"No public officeholder or candidate for such office shall receive any sort of compensation, payment, promise of future payment, employment, or any other tangible or non-tangible goods or services from any business, group, alliance, union or individual."
The laws they pass can be enforced. Problem is they always leave themselves loopholes when the law is written.

Seems to me the effort and expense is spent trying to attract a type of man most women say they don't want anyway.

It's that whole self-esteem issue. Makes them feel better.
It's that whole psychology of wanting to be desirable or sexy, or whatever.
And a lot of men like them big.
Or in the case of bringing the breastsize down to a smaller cup, it's a health issue (backproblems from the weight).
I've had corrective surgery done -- of a 6 inch scar, a result of a thorax op.
Before I was the owner of a 0.3 inch wide scar (top half, approx. 2 inches long).
After I was the somewhat proud owner of a thin 6 inch scar, running down my chest. I never wear V-necks.Heightmeyer's Lemming -- still the coolest Lemming of the forum
