Rudd to ban thin models (1 Viewer)

[Kwayera]

Lol why am I not surprised.

Tsup nanny state!

Is Rudd Serious? We have a million and one real live ramily issues and he's looking at the fashion industry? How about transport, high petrol and food prices, education, health, and the banks passing the interest rate cut when it happens. This highlights a poor agenda for the Rudd government

I doubt that girls are going to starve themselves just because they see a thin lady on a cat walk. If you ask me, there is more to it than that. They need psychological help more than anything. Banning skinny models isnt going to stop the problem, its just going to mean that a whole lot of beautiful women are going to loose their jobs because of some PM that wants to control everything.

This is just dictating to us that we have to accept these people who say a size 14-16 is healthy! This is just to make all the people who can't be bothered eating healthy and staying in shape feel better by saying there is this eating disorder epidemic, despite the fact that every second person you see in public is overweight. But that's ok. That's not anyone's fault but the fast food companies and the advertisers.

Hmmm, WATCH based policies. Food watch, Fuel watch, Bank watch, Fashion watch. Watch next?

Yeah well. Australia? YOU did this. YOU voted this retard in.

I voted Greens.

This policy is kind of funny really. I always hear dumb parents constantly bitching about how 'unfair' it is that all these models have bodies which are 'so unrealistic' - it's like Rudd is driving around lower income suburbs and making laws out of the ramblings of 30-40 year old housewives.

Preferences make a vote for greens basically a vote for labor.

That said, I voted Greens, too.

I'm getting tired of the fiddling around the edges.
Overaching narrative, go

What do you WANT from us Mr Rudd!?
Lead us and we WILL follow!!1

Good. I prefer my women without anorexia.

cannibal.horse: Please tell your fat friends that they are hopeless losers and if they don't want to die at 50, they should lose some fucking weight.

if you said that to them, they would probably start eating even more.

This is so stupid. What if they banned 'fat' models? Its excatly the same thing! There are so many skinny people in this world and they generally look better in clothes.

What is it that they actually want from us? Apparently being fat is bad but so is being skinny.

 

[Annalisee]

Their either tackling obesity or anorexia.
fuck
If the media/government didn't talk about it so much people wouldn't think about it and just eat, excersise and live as is healthy.

Well its obvious now that K-Rudd is all about the ass.

Rudd's a caver. He caves under ANY public pressure and has trouble looking at the larger picture. What I liked about Howard was he had a fixed set points of principals on which he stood prior to being elected, and he was elected for these principles and so he stuck to them, for better or worse.

Take GST for example: Everyone was against it, but Howard knew we had to have it and so he put it in, no matter the pressure the public was exerting. Take WorkChoices as well: same deal.

Rudd's a show pony.

except im pretty sure howard promised NOT to bring in GST.

sounds like someone doesn't understand the difference between a 'core' and a 'non-core' promise

Let's be honest, all politicians lie. It just comes with the territory. I'm pretty sure Howard knew for a long time that we needed the GST system.

...um, it was just that he used that as an example?

GST was needed and it's solved a lot of funding problems and streamlined a whole bunch of tax issues for small businesses.

Exactly. I doubt Rudd would ever implement something that is so strongly opposed by the general public as the GST policy was even if it would ensure that the state would reap major benefits.
