Things That Could Make BZ Even Better
If you make the subforum, I'll do the moving . Ironically, I was also going to ask you if a 'Who's Aged Worse, Britney or Lindsay' poll would get me fired, but I finally decided against it on my own .

I'll do it, I just forgot how . When I do though, I hope everyone is of the shared understanding that my polls are indeed mandatory .

Health
I just figured I'd move this here since I had been meaning to make this thread . It can be about any aspect, be it mental, emotional, fitness or whatever. - Random Dieting and Health Myths The ones that won't get me into trouble More people are overweight and out of shape than ever. There's more people and more money than ever. All of this is the perfect recipe to make huge money from telling people lies. Some lies started out from well meaning people who simply didn't have the knowledge that later presented itself. There's things now that we don't know of course. Well, the knowledge about this stuff has presented itself. Myth: Cholesterol is the cause of heart disease Truth: Man made chemicals such as hydrogenated and chemically altered foods damage arteries, thus allowing cholesterol to stick to its walls. Other than that, cholesterol is actually mostly good. Though there are several good books about this out, lowering cholesterol is a multi-billion dollar industry and I'm sure there are many who would like to keep it that way. Even tap water does more damage to ones arteries. Myth: Fat free and sugar free foods are good for you Truth: Foods with the fat free or sugar free brand are even worse for you because they use man made chemicals to make up for the fat and sugar taste. Due to the fact that they are indeed man made, your body can't metabolize them and they are much more harmful than either fat or sugar. Myth: Sugar substitutes are better for you than sugar Truth: Sugar substitutes contain man made chemicals and alterations that have been linked to increased appetite, depression, PMS symptoms and more. I wouldn't advise white sugar either, but its better to use raw, organic natural sugar, organic honey or any naturally occurring sugar. Myth: The only way to be truly healthy is to be a vegetarian Truth: Though the beef and dairy industries continues to use methods that are hazardous to our health (growth hormones, pesticide residue, tranquilizers ect.) and commercial beef production methods are a relative waste of our natural resources (80% of our grains are fed to livestock and they play a large role in deforestation and erosion as well), this is not true. The truth is that organic meat is indeed healthy. Livestock that is fed grass and is allowed to roam free is not only healthier than the later, but tastes better as well. With chickens, hormone free, uncaged chickens are the healthiest. Meat is by no means essential to a healthy diet, but organic meat is good indeed. Myth: That meat is an essential food group or necessary for protein. Truth: This is a result of the meat industry paying off the right politicians for a place in the food pyramid. Meat not only isn't necessary for protein, it isn't the best source of protein. Seeds have far and away more pound for pound protein. Beans and nuts are no slouch either. Even oats have 5g per serving (1/2 cup) which is more for its weight than any kind of meat. Myth: That the medical industry is doing all they can to cure disease. Truth: They're doing all they can to create patentable, temporary remedies so that you have to keep buying them so thy can maximize profit. Expounding on that further could bet me into trouble with the federal government, so I'll leave it at that .

Deny it you should . To me polls actually have the potential for greater relevance seeing as how they can potentially amass far more votes than any competition round can. The more votes there are, the more relevant the comparisson is to me. Some make the case that people change their minds which we see with competitions as people go from giving a ten to a six in just a few short months. With polls, you can only vote once anyway, so it makes no difference to me whether someone changes their mind or not. There's really no significant difference between the same person now thinking that Lindsay is prettier than Erin and a new person altogether thinking Lindsay is prettier than Erin anyway. The real issue is that some use them to PIP by saying the name of who they voted for in a thread that hasn't been posted in for several years opposed to joining in an actual discussion. In the end, it is called Babe Polls and was created for polls and competitions later came onto the scene so I don't see getting rid of polls only because they inconvenience some competitions. That's not to say I prefer one over the other. When I frequented, it was finding out a new name and the commentary of the voters that made it interresting rather than the format. What I will likely do though is create a subforum for one or the other. Either competitions will keep the main side because they're trending or polls its called Babe Polls. Maybe the one with the most threads or hits in the last year will get the main side, but whatever the arrangement, a member that likes one has just as much right to it and this should satisfy both sides.

If you can change a model name: what would it be?
I would make Adriana and Alessandra switch first names, but they're fine as is too. I would change Inguna Butane to Magdalana Casta, Charlotte Free to Moon Bloodgood. Well, that last one's already taken actually .

A staff member advertising ad blockers, for shame :persuazn: . Although I'm not supposed to volunteer the idea publicly, those are definitely ways to get rid of them . Actually, at the top of the homepage, members are asked to title and put as much information as possible in posts to help to cut back on reposts. Oh, as to the missing posts thing, some of the old posts are scattered here and there and I've been systematically adding them to the other thread as well.

She Took a Bit To Grow On Me...But Now I Love Her!
LOL @ the dead VS eyes and name thing . As to the name one though, I never thought about it, but it does sound like the name of an overly perky cheerleader captain from a teen show or something .

Yeah, the placement of the ads of course has nothing to do with paying for the site , so hopefully if you send him a message that part can be worked out.

The advertisers are what keep the site going . I did ask at one point if there could be a way that if you hated one in particular, you could refresh the page and get another one. That wouldn't solve your problem though.

The Totally Spurious Victoria's Secret Thread
Doutzen was probably banned from Fox and Friends upon them learning that she was an Obama fan. Seriously though, its hilarious that this show- a show that constantly spews **** about the U.S. supposedly losing its morality- is a go-to for the VS team
