Are breast enlargements imitation or mutilation?
Independent - Big, bouncy and completely fake, larger-than-life bosoms are everywhere we look. Is it any wonder that last year, 26,000 British women went under the knife? More’s the pity, argues Bethan Cole – you can’t improve on nature.

America’s economy - Still on the right road
Economist - THE American economy has often defied predictions of its demise. It has done so again. Official figures published on Thursday July 31st show that America’s GDP rose at an annualised rate of 1.9% in the second quarter. This would a respectable enough growth rate at the best of times. That this was achieved despite the considerable handicaps of a badly damaged banking system, a big jump in oil prices and the ongoing housing bust, makes it remarkable.

Why India and China Said No to US
Spiegel - Trade talks broke down July 29 as India and China refused to bow to US demands on agricultural subsidies. It’s not often that China and India find themselves on the same side. They’re the world’s most populous countries and have two of the fastest-growing economies, but one is ruled by a communist regime, the other by an unruly coalition government. They don’t see eye to eye about relations with the US.

Why are Italian tourists so pushy and rude?
Times - Are Italians the rudest people on the planet? Three times this year, trying to alight from a Tube train, I’ve been shoved back by stylishly dressed people pushing in to board before the alighting passengers are off: and every time they’ve been yabbering in Italian. How do we reconcile modern Italy - consumerism, junk television, brand addiction and mindless celebrity worship - with the Italy of Venice, da Vinci, Verdi and the Medicis? Say what you like about our rowdy, beer-swilling English mob but, tattoos and all, they’d have seen through Berlusconi in an instant.

Matu Parlovu
B92 Blog by Jelica Greganović - Mate Parlov je bio delić mog nesportskog TV detinjstva. Bolju priču o Matu i boksu kao sportu bi sigurno puno vas umelo da ispriča bolje i stručnije od mene. Ja sam i tako samo sedela u ćošku i čudom se čudila kako neko ne plače kad ga toliko biju i kako sve to izdrži. Ipak, zato što je Mate bio veliki borac i svi kažu jako dobar čovek, zato što ga više nema, a bio je slika iz mog detinjstva, ja sam prosto morala da napišem ovaj blog…

Praktikovanje patriotizma
B92 Blog by Biljana Cincarecić - Postalo je pravilo da se njihovi mitinzi zavrsavaju na ovakav nacin. Njihove pretnje lincovanjem, njihove pristalice su i spremne da ostvare. Predstavljaju opastnost po gradjane, lose uticu svojom retorikom na mlade, svojim pretnjama podsticu nasilje i mrznju. Da ne bi cekali nove zrtve, predlazem da se Srpska Radikalna Stranka zabrani.
