community women of all backgrounds in delhi opt not to wear a helmet but this isn't about religious duty this is about plain old vanity. i don't like wearing a helmet because when i go for part is it spoils my makeup and my hair. experts say indian women routinely don't make safety a priority. or used to neglecting them. we were in a program to themselves so if there is a problem if there is an health crisis with the man and the woman of the house then the man is taken to a doctor the woman is not. free now all the havoc over the home it will be put on hold and women will continue to commute hard hat free regardless of the risks preassure either party new delhi india. around three thousand opposition supporters

trouble and i diary. coverage. this week who is in charge of deciding when a word of slang and when and where it is the proper term. i mean you don't really want the government to be in charge of that that's for sure you have anything yeah i mean the government shouldn't be in the in the in the game of policing what you say certainly of what you think you know what if someone called you whitey if somebody called me why do you have say the property accurate theory but you would you be offended no so why do people take offense to some words and not other words . probably because they care about what other people think it's an insecurity so we should just stop caring about what other people think of me and the whole peacekeeping all the way it's not like you should start caring what other people think we should start caring. more about what you think they get matters in the context that it's used like if you look at somebody and say damn they're obese in that context i think it's derogatory i think there's

a the word obese or say obesity in general when you talk about a condition is it would not be derogatory just a statement of of a problem in a society maybe if we ever did this word to people would feel ok maybe a little bigger. regular people so there's no problem and what if you want to think about it exactly like why are we afraid to college drug user or drug user exactly you know this isn't being a way where we should escape from the problems for the problem that the escape for a bit whether or not you think the word obese is derogatory the bottom line is it's also a medical condition and simply avoiding the word is not going to make the issue go away. now look at some other top stories from around the world a militant group with alleged links to al qaeda has claimed responsibility for double bombings in the syrian capital damascus which killed fifty five people in
