The Melting Pot

Helmet : I’m not wearing that silly hat!

That’s what the ladies in India say.

I don’t get it. A rule is a rule and its meant for everyone to follow. Why are women in India, specially Chandigarh, allowed to roam freely on two-wheelers without helmets whereas guys are fined if found without helmets. It’s fine if Sardarji’s are exempted because their problem is genuine. But why Sardarnis? They have to cover their heads - they can do that with a helmet instead of a dupatta when they are on a two-wheeler. They say it would look funny when a Sardarji is riding without a helmet whereas his wife, the pillion rider, is wearing a helmet. Lousy excuse!!

Even the local leaders supported this argument. They said that it hurt the reiligious sentiments of the people. One person even went onto say that he would not like to see girls with messed-up hair when they remove their helmets. Is that guy out of his mind??

Girls have the easy way out. Even if they are caught by policemen for some violation, all they have to do is shed a tear and they are let off. The guys on the other hand are even abused.

The first time the police was actually doing was it claims to do - “We care for you”.

Isn’t this gender bias?

‘SLIP UPS’ .. too many .. now-a-dayz .. what to do ??

hey ppl ..
must hav heard/seen thru media about the .. fashion shows being held in our country .. u must have come acrross many cases of slip ups .. while the model poses on the runway … i think its malfunctioning … such an activity is not easily accepted in our country .. and becomes a social news .. for which ppl .. get crazy .. i think this brings a lot of .. shame to the model itself .. and can be really bad to her career ahead … i think all this should be checked .. n moreover each person entering the arena should be thoroughly checked .. as these ppl wait for such an accident to capture such images in their technological devices as .. mobile phone cameras .. digi cams etc .. they post ot all over the net to earn n to get fame .. but here it goes wrong .. i dont think … such an activity shud be done … n such an accident shud be accepted .. it shudnt be spread all over the country thru media ..

Google: TV blamed for teen $€X

Could “Desperate Housewives” and X-rated rap lyrics be pushing American teens into having sex earlier?

A new study suggests that youths who are exposed to sexually explicit media when they are 12 to 14 are more likely to have sex before they hit 16.

“Media is a powerful sex educator, but not always in the best interest of children,” said Jane Brown of the University of North Carolina, chief researcher of the study.

White teens were particularly susceptible to media messages, with those who watched or listened to explicit material more than twice as likely to have sex.

Black teens were more likely to be exposed to the racy material, but the study found they were far more influenced by attitudes of parents and friends than media.

The study, published in Pediatrics magazine, analyzed 170 popular songs, including hits by Nelly, Ja Rule, Jay-Z and Destiny’s Child. They discovered 40% of the lyrics contained sexual content.

“The Simpsons” was the most popular TV show among the teens but the shows that included the most sexual content were UPN’s “WWE Smackdown,” and MTV’s “Total Request Live.”

The researchers interviewed 1,017 black and white adolescents from middle schools in North Carolina. Each teen was evaluated at age 12 to 14 years, and once again two years later.

Despite the flood of hormone-soaked shows and songs, less than 1% of teen media content focuses on sexual health or family planning.

“What’s missing in the media are the three C’s,” Brown said. “Rarely is there a commitment, contraceptives or consequences.”

Heres my question: wat do u think ?? do all these TV programmes try to gic $€X education or do they increase LUST in such a peer group .. As these programmes have become very popular in India also ..
