Doctors give Hollywood and Bond a "sex" rating
The Journal of the Royal Society of Medicine has criticized Hollywood and a number of films for being responsible for the incease in sexually transmitted diseases and unplanned pregnancies.
"James Bond" was one of the characters singled out as a promoter of unsafe sex in the film Die Another Day. We can't actually recall any scene that proves Bond wasn't using a contraceptive and how do the doctors know he hadn't placed one (or two?) under the pillow earlier along with his gun?
If the medical profession had their way, every film would resemble some health documentary. No drink, no smoking, no sex, no viewers! ...he he he .......

Bored person's Guide to the internetWhat? Somebody asked me today "Hey give me a cool site man, am bored". Man, how long have you been on the internet? Do you think I am some kind of a mind reading therapist search engine for bored fucks like you? I get bored too, and if I want to search, I find my way around on my own. This is rocket science? Look idiot, even grade schools kids can use Google. If you don't know your way around, get off the net. Go fly a kite, do your worldly thing and never come near the internet.Ok chill. I did not say all that to the guy. Infact I gave him several links that came to my mind. some websites that I frequently check. So, in case there are any such cases among you few readers, I would like to write this tiny guide for the bored.First, if you regularly read blogs (more than a few that is) you can save yourself a million minutes by using a news reader. I recommend you signup for Newsgator and subscribe to the RSS feeds of your favorite blogs and websites on Newsgator. Why waste the time going into each and every blog site just to see if there is a new post? Have them on your screen if there are any, and continue from there if you wish to. Feeds are not just for the high tech people. It is a normal thing, for normal people, just like email and messaging.Next, search engines. Use Google and type your wish. Google is the mother and father and also the child of all seach engines. If you can't find it with Google, you may not find it at all. But you see Google's results are a little bit commercialish. Want the ability to filter your searches by their "commercialness"? Use Yahoo! Mindset. Mind you, do not underestimate Yahoo, their searches are as accurate as Google. Really, they are. This Mindset thing is highly recommended (more recommended than Google itself). If you are looking for more people stuff (average people's writings, like this post you are reading now), opinions (on anything) and stories and so on, you might want to just search within blogs. Use Technorati. Technorati indexes all the blogs on all platforms and also lists links and photos from Flickr and Del.icio.us. You use del.icio.us to manage your bookmarks online, highly recommended for everyone.Finally, here are some raw links for the impatient. PostSecret is a blog to which you can send your little secret and they will put it up. They have got some interesting things there. The Best Page in the Universe attracts more hate mails than bush. Go there for some creative humorous pieces of writings. Chances are you will actually hate the guy for most of the stuff there. There is also Slashdot for the tech minded, Wikipedia for your research and contribution to global knowledge. and Dhivehi Observer for the political minded. There is also the AYBABTU website, Goatse phenomena, BBC for your news, Engadget for the coolest gadget stuff, Boing Boing for random interesting stories and finally World Sex for all your free porn.
Death is Inevitable
+Every person who smokes, is going to dieEvery person who never smokes, is going to die
+Every person who is "overweight", is going to dieEvery person who is never "overweight", is going to die
+Every person who uses illicit drugs, is going to dieEvery person who never uses illicit drugs, is going to die
+Every person who drinks alcohol, is going to dieEvery person who never drinks alcohol, is going to die
+Every person who fails to heed the advice of health advocates, is going to dieEvery person who devotedly follows all the advice of health advocates, is going to die
Now the question comes - since we are all going to die, no matter what precautions we may take is it justifiable for health advocates to force people to conform to certain lifestyles which those advocates claim will maximize the length of a person's life?Death is inevitable, but health advocates such as the anti-smoking industry claim that they are justified in using punitive pressures of various kinds to force people to conform to their definitio of healthy lifestyle".
The argument from "natural death"
Most people would probably agree that it is preferable for a person's death to be a "natural" death - but what does that mean? The only definition of a natural death, in medical science, comes from pathologists. Their definition is this; "A natural death is a death that results from a natural disease process, distinct from a death that results from accident or violence."All of the smoking related deaths involve natural disease processes; cancer, heart disease, stroke, emphysema - these are all "natural disease processes". Smoking-related deaths are "natural" deaths.
The argument from "premature death"
The concept of "premature" death is entirely statistical. A "premature death" is a death which occurs before the average age of death within a given population.According to the CDC (Center for Disease Control), the average age of death by all causes in North America in 1994 was 70 years of age. An analysis of the CDC's own figures for the years 1990-1994 showed that the average age of death for smoking-related deaths was 71.9 years of age.Some smoking-related deaths are therefore, statistically "premature" - but many are not. About 17% of smoking-related deaths occur at ages greater than 85, fewer than O.5 % of smoking-related deaths occur at ages less than 35.
It may be true that the incidence of chronic degenerative illnesses in the elderly population occur at lower rates for non-smokers, non-drinkers and those who have never been "over-weight", but that does not mean such persons have any guarantee that they will never develop these illnesses. Even if you were a health fanatic from the day you were born, the longer you live the greater the likelihood becomes that you will develop some kind of chronic degenerative illness. Human beings do not have a "life energy" that gets used up as time goes on, causing us to mysteriously die, in perfect health, in our sleep when it 'runs out'.One of the world's most renowned pathologists, Dr. Ludwig Aschoff, stated that he had never found a case of purely natural death: autopsy had always revealed some pathological process as a cause.Dr. Hans Selye of Montreal, probably the world's leading authority on human stress, asserted that in all his autopsies he has never yet seen a man who died simply of "old age", nor does he think anyone ever has.
Since death cannot be eliminated, the health sciences can only exchange one cause of death with another
Life expectancy at birth within the industrialised nations grew considerably in the 20th century, from about age 35 for men and 37 years for women in 1900 to about age 70 for men and 77 years for women in 1994. The term "premature death" clearly is more meaningful in relation to persons who die between the ages of twenty-five and forty, than it is in relation to persons who die between ages of sixty-five and eighty.You will see, from the charts below - that the tragedy of people being struck down at say, age twenty or thirty by tuberculosis, influenza or pneumonia was quite prevalent in 1900 - but deaths from cancer and heart disease were substantially more rare at that time. That's not because there were no people who smoked or drank or ate more than they probably should - it's because the chronic degenerate illnesses take time to develop. If you died of influenza at age 27, you hadn't had time to develop lung cancer - even if you'd started smoking at the age of 12.
Dhiraagu and RedThere would be two reasons for Dhiraagu's color change. One, because Wataniya is red. Two, because red is the color of dominance, energy and power. It is an aggressive color. Red plays with the human mind, and this is proven in business and in sports.The problem is Dhiraagu's red is not really the correct shade of red that is actually used for such things. Dhiraagu's red is more orangish than the red used by Wataniya, Manchester United, Marlboro, Coca Cola (Coke's spectrum is much wider actually) and McDonalds. Dhiraagu's red is irritating to the eyes.

Anna Nicole Smith - principle is more important than the money!
Anna Nicole Smith, the ex-topless dancer who married one of wealthiest men in Texas, J. Howard Marshall II, is to get her case heard at the U.S. Supreme Court. She has spent the last 10 years trying to get millions of dollars she claims her late husband promised her.
Smith (real Vickie Lynn Marshall) was originally awarded $475 million following the death of her husband, even though she wasn't mentioned in his will, but this was later reduced to $88.5 million and a further ruling decided she should get nothing.
J. Howard Marshall II died in 1995 and his son has disputed Smith's claim to any of his money. Marshall senior married Smith when he was 89 and she was 26, and he died a year later. They had met 3 years earlier in a Topless Club.
