People that think they need any kind of implants need to start off with a brain implant.

Hmmmm--
One of the things that impact OSA is gravity.
In people with big stomachs(MOI) or excess neck tissue problems arise.

With this in mind, it is not a big leap to ocnsider the gravity problems with the extra weight of store bought boobs.

Just a thought.

But in going over my data bank of cloae friends in my past, I do not remember any of the well endowed ones having these problems.

This is terrible, now I must go and sing "precious memories" to all those foibles.

I would probably get sued because someone in an 80's slasher movie already had the idea. It seems most of the the people that went up to those mysterious camps by the lake during the 80's ended up on a hook. Of course Jamie lee Curtis didn't end up on a hook but she did show her boobies which were natural. I guess they figured since she was natural a hook in the back was not needed. Who knows maybe the makers of Slasher movies were ahead of the curve when it came to dealing with sleep apnea by hanging the person from a hook.

Disney Takes Steps against Sleep Apnea

Post by roster » Tue May 11, 2010 9:17 am

Wonderful to see that Disney has joined us in the battle against sleep apnea.
'Pirates Of The Caribbean 4' Bans Breast Implants

Talk about being busted.

Moviehole reports that Disney has sent out a casting call looking for beautiful models for its upcoming blockbuster "Pirates of the Caribbean: On Stranger Tides."

Those with breast implants need not apply.

The breakdown read :

Beautiful Female Fit Models. Must be 5'7-5'8, Size 4 or 6 - NO BIGGER OR SMALLER. Age 18-25. Must have a lean dancer body. MUST have real breasts. Do not submit if you have implants. This is a show and tell of costumes with the director and the producers. Plan on an entire day of trying on clothes and being photographed.

In our own recent history we have seen the results of removing regulation from business. This approach gave us the financial meltdown and payday loan stores that charge 400% interest.

Business is good. Unregulated business is very very bad.

Nope. The SEC did not do its job and was watching pornography and the central government was creating Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac and putting pressure on lenders to give mortgages to people who had little-to-no evidence of ability to repay them. Democrats and Republicans have their very cozy relationships with Goldman Sachs and most of the rest of Wall Street and now they add health insurance companies in a big way. If you think these businesses are being regulated to prevent abuses, you need to have another think.

The problem with these businesses is that their industries are regulated and the big ones are propped up by our central government. Without a very real fear of failure, a free market doesn't work. Obama has said he wants to take the possibility of failure out of the equation. It is basic economics that a dysfunctional market will get far worse if the participants have no fear of failure.

Our central government is doing many things that they should not be involved in and that are unconstitutional.

Most payday lenders are legitimate businesses that provide a legitimate service. Many of their clients are poor people who would be worse off if the lenders were regulated out of business.

You said 400%, I will give you an example using 16,500% effective annual rate (515% simple annual rate). That sounds horrible to you I am sure. Going on with the example, let us say you are a poor person living payday to payday and you are in desperate need for $100 to keep the water or power from being turned off or to repair the car so you can continue to get to work or to pay a fine to keep yourself out of jail. Further let us say you are flat broke and ten days away from the next paycheck. You go to the payday lender get $100 and sign a contract stating you will repay the lender $115 in ten days. That is 16,500% effective annual rate!!!!

So what do you think the poor dude is thinking when he walks out? I will tell you what he is thinking, “Thank God, I have $100 and will have heat in the house tonight and it only cost me $15 out of my next paycheck.”

So you want to stop that voluntary transaction between two parties? You want the dude and his wife and kids to sleep in a cold, dark house for the next ten days?

I think the dude is a hero and the guy who made the loan is an even bigger hero. Loaning $100 like that is very risky and the reward ($15) is very small compared to the risk. These lenders are very hard working individuals.

Leave the payday lenders alone.

I can deal with any supplier in a free market. What I can’t deal with is a supplier in a heavily-regulated market who has the mighty power of government regulators backing him up. The citizen comes out on the losing end of that every time.

That is a load of crap! All the poor guy does is postpone the cold night for his family til next month and the loan shark is $15 richer for it and the poor dude $15 poorer.

Why not then deregulate the toy industry and let the children deal with this then? -

Business must be regulated and throughout history, always has been, either through taxation and/or bans and/or subsidies. The real issue is what kind of regulation, for what businesses, and regulation by whom. Government regulation is not perfect, but corporate self-regulation is just plain criminal.

All you can say is "crap". Your brand of socialism does not hold up to hard numbers and logic.

That dude wants his heat and power for the next ten days and is happy to pay the $15.

The problem with socialism that is so often overlooked is that it hurts the lives of poor people the most.

Willle sees 400% and has a gut reaction that it is bad. Just do the numbers before you go vote and do damage to people through your votes.

First of all .... crap was not ALL I said (read it again). Second, "regulation" of business does not equal socialism ... you are fictionalizing the issue.

Your brand of "free-market" (anarcho-capitalism) does not exist anywhere on this planet and never has ... and never will.

Fact is that there is a middle ground between total unregulated business greed and protective regulation of a "civilized" society. That is the way economics works in this world and always has.

The problem with your logic is that if the dude does not have $15 for heat and power for the next 10 days, serfdom will not make things any better for him.

As for my voting, you have no idea how I vote and you again are just making "crap" up!

How does big breast lead to a free trade capitalism fight?

You are all not paying enough attention to the nipple bounce. Follow the bouncing nipple boys!

It's hard to focus on nipple bouncing, when the government and business have their hands in your pocket fishing for change.

I think we would be better off without either of them, and trying to only use what we need to get by. It pays to keep informed about the products we buy, but I don't trust either one to be working in my best interest. I buy products that have a rep for being reliable, from manufacturers that have made good products. If i get burnt by them I let others know. Jim

I'm confused.

Is this thread about. . . Breasts, . . . Politics, . . . Breast Politics, . . . or Political Breasts ??
