Why are 80 cartoon characters sexy woman metamorphosis?

For example, Shortcake, Polly Pocket Strawberry, Care Bears, My Little Pony, Rainbow Brite and 80 are again asked to give their sex appeal Jailbait. Not to mention the newest, sexiest Dora the Explorer and Bratz dolls. Do you think that sends the wrong message to young people about sexuality and body image? Parents can buy thongs and shirts for their young children (presumably for water "invitations" a classmate from preschool?) Today ... and wonder why pedophilia is increasing. Also, please send that, I think its well sexualizing children. That's really creepy. Moreover, statistics can be manipulated to say what he wants to say that many, many crimes go unreported, making them seem as if its not a problem. Please Dont rely on statistics to say pedophilia is bad or not.

Each generation seems to be more open about sex and sexual behavior. Its nothing new. There is nothing wrong with making some of the original characters more appealing to a younger audience. And rates of pedophilia and child abuse has declined over the last decade. FBI crime statistics. SL

Not sure if this is about architecture or not?

I am only a year apart from going to an university now, and I am not sure if I really want to be an architect which I've been planning to be since Gr9. I like to draw and wouldn't mind a bit of math; but simply, I am not really insane about it. When I go to library for some books, I tend to look more for investing and finance rather than architecture. But then ever since I was a kid, I loved building houses and castles out of LEGO and draw tiny draftings of house interiors like where the washroom should be. I still love making buildings out of LEGO. So could anyone clarify what my interest really is? - architecture? interior design? or business?
Thanks,

You'll have to decide where your true passion lies. If your passionate about finance and investing, you're likely to make more money in those fields instead. However, if your passionate about design and exploring your creative side, then architecture is better suited to you. If you're not passionate about performing your particular career for the majority of your life, then no salary is truly ever going to make you happy.

By the way, math doesn't play as much of a part as everyone assumes in architecture. Architects need a basic understanding of structural math, physics, and geometry, but the hard part is really left up to engineers at the end of the day. Architects will have a basic layout for placing columns and beams, then the engineers will find the exact sizes, types, and connections. Architecture focuses more on the creative side, and the logical side of coordinating different parts of the building like a conductor arranging a symphony, from aesthetics to function, circulation, cost, building codes, etc.

What is the cheapest way to travel to Southeast Asia?

I'm in Phoenix, Arizona trying to get to Vientiane, Laos. It seems there are many routes to take to reach the final destination, and I just want to seek advice from people with travel experience. Complicating the situation is likely to be get a ticket discount as far as Hawaii / Europe, maybe go to Asia for a discount. I find it very expensive to fly to Laos, and it might be better for me to fly a airport and go to Laos around different. Anyone have tips on the cheapest airports, airlines, the best places to look at booking a flight? Thanks for the tips!

The absolute cheapest way is public buses, but do so in the environmental assessment is a bit crazy. Hours everywhere and, of course, the information is not always in English. If you can get your hostel / hotel to book for you is a good choice. There are tons of airlines cheap too. Tiger, AirAsia and Jetstar come to mind. I flew from Singapore to Udon Thani in Thailand super prices. From there, take a taxi just to cross the border. Easy. :)
