What a bunch of crap! This ridiculous article says girls are obsessed with the thinness of their bodies, because they don't believe in God.

Funny. Neither of my daughters (ages 24 and 11) have had body issues, despite being raised in a pagan household.

lol

sorry Wiccan

I was being facetious.

and the quote at the end was for Monty python fans...

I of course don't condone burning witches.. bad for the environment and all that

Say... you don't weight the same as a duck do you?

(PS: my sis is wiccan of sorts... so I just jest...)

The MP quote is also on my profile, hence my confusion.

As for weight, well, maybe you'd need a couple of ducks to balance me out. Of course, my husband has many duck jokes due to the MP influence.
