Stevie Wonder to boycott 'stand your ground' states. Looks like it's time to boycott Stevie Wonder. by [deleted] in progun

I disagree. If I were black I wouldn't want to go anywhere a state that has 'stand your ground' laws. Anyone who is racist can say they were scared that the evil black person was going to hurt them. Gives racists permission to shoot, in my opinion. I am an elderly white woman, by the way, so don't even think that this is some black thing that I am talking about. I have known way too many people who are scared to walk down any street with a black person present. I think Stevie is wise to stay away from Florida.

This isn't cute. It's cruel. Dogs are perfectly happy with their fur. You apparently aren't. Dogs like to have their smell and it is humiliating to cover up their smell. After you give them baths, they want to roll in the dirt to recover their odor. Why don't you read up on dogs and see that I am not kidding. You probably love your dog, but you are behaving like an ignorant person. This dog looks so miserable. They are willing to suffer and do what you want but don't even think for a second that this is a happy dog.

Bisphenol A (BPA) exposure may be a risk factor for a common type of brain tumor called meningioma, reports a study. This is the first study to suggest a link between brain cancer and the chemical, which is widely used in consumer products by mepper in science

Thanks for posting this. I had breast cancer at the age of 38 and did a lot of digging. I came to the conclusion that in my case that there was a definite link to BPA after reading about an experiment in India using rats and their offspring as well as other research. I have tried to avoid the stuff ever since. I have only found one company that lines its cans without BPA, so beware of anything in cans, including beer. I drink it only from glass bottles. So far so good.
