Why do men think it's ok to just look at nude teens?

A.

An anthropologist or biologist would tell you that men are attracted to very young women because they are hard-wired to see them as potential bearers of children. We need to recall that up until the past couple of centuries, the normal age for girls to be wed was just after puberty.

Neither of these remarks should be taken to indicate that we believe it is OK.

What are 3 forms are chewing tobacco?

the three main types are as follows; loose leaf, long cut, and snuff.

  • Loose leaf tobacco: loose leaf tobacco is made of de-stemmed tobacco leafs and are then cut in unique sizes (not all the same length). then it is flavored, usually to a sweet, sugary, almost honey-like flavor. it is stored in foil lined pouches. the user takes the desired amount of tobacco and puts it in his mouth and keeps in between his cheek and gums and occasionally chew it, some people constantly chew it. some spit, some don't. swallowing it is often referred to as gutting it
  • Long cut: not exactly sure how it is made, but my guess would be that is is ground by a machine into particles anywhere to 16th" to 1/4", much, much finer than loose leaf. it is then flavored anywhere to some fruit flavors, a few minty flavors (such as mint, spearmint, and wintergreen) to "straight" flavors, and even some whiskey or bourbon flavors. it is stored in round tins, or cans, with a plastic or cardboard lower and a metal top. the user pinches desired amount out of the tin and places it between lip or cheek and the gums. usually kept there for 15 to 30 minutes. many people spit, some don't.
  • Snuff: very finely ground, back in the day was used by sniffing it up the nose. but mostly these days is used the same as long cut dip.

Actually, Red Bull has LESS caffeine than coffee. Eight ounces of Red Bull contains 80 mgs of caffeine. Your average 6-ounce cup of coffee also has 80 mgs of caffeine. And personally, I make my coffee so strong, it probably has twice as much caffeine as Red Bull.
