null Bullying in the movies 

Looking at the video and film clips, film makers in the USA think bullying at school, in the work place and in leisure venues is common place. They also believe all bullies get their comeuppance. But only by picking on the wrong person who violently and with maximum efficiency breaks bones and busts heads using fists and feet. The message seems to be learn to fight.  Does the message...

null A new meaning to hitting the target

 You may have already come across this but for the half of the population not familiar with male public  toilets there are urinals with a difference in some locations.

null  Diversity - The Phoney Version -looks different but isn’t 

The image is of someone frantically bailing out a leaky boat whilst water continues to pore in through the holes in its hull. There is a lot of effort but it doesn’t  make much difference.
