Have dinner ready … Touch up your make-up, put a ribbon in your hair and be fresh-looking … Greet him with a warm smile [and] … let him talk first — remember, his topics of conversation are more important than yours … A good wife always knows her place.

Save us from the sexy babies
AN American blogger is berating parents for buying their babies bibs with “hottie” logos. She accuses these parental pimps of advertising their kiddies as prostitots and encouraging pedophiles: “I have to wonder if they think about the child predators who claim that kids are flirting with them or asking for it,” the blogger writes.

Unprecedented opportunities for courtship and infidelity – the travesty of the telegraph
MOST media stories about the internet concern its evil deeds: its fame-a-fying of Finnish serial shooters is just one, not particularly grammatical, example. Reading the headlines, it’s easy to assume that the cyber-sphere poses a threat like no other. There have, however, been many precedents.
