While normally I don't think the government should be interfering in employment, in this case since the industry can't be trusted to regulate itself something needs to be done. I say good for Israel! I hope it passes. Athletes have to have checkups. Heck, porn stars have to have checkups. Anybody who uses their body for work should have to have a doctor's certificate, IMO.
Although they aren't exactly banning shots of anorexic models, they would be making sure that in order to work the models have a healthy BMI, which means they will have to exercise and body sculpt to get thin and not just stop eating or pump themselves full of stimulants and laxatives.
And thank you, I just went here and calculated again and have been reminded at least in this one area I am completely normal! I never thought I'd be normal in anything. Whoo! :D
I never cease to be amazed by how pretentious I can sound despite the fact that I have no idea what I'm talking about. The funniest quote I've read in a long time, heee! I have deposited it into my Witty Response Bank.
OC can have the same symptoms as concentrated enthusiasm with different causes. A lot of people who can't concentrate assume CE is OC, but hey, if it doesn't make you poor and you aren't washing the skin off your hands, there's no harm in being enthusiastic. Except for the insomnia, but then you fit more life into your day than the "normal" people, so it's not all bad.
