VG found the story of Stine Marie Bringsli and her seat belt problems after a boob-job worthy front page coverage in on their online paper. Ms. Bringsli, shown at the left, demonstrating how the seat belt would slide up and strangle her within two seconds, got a ticket from the police for not using the seat belt mandatory. Basically, she had breat implants and wearing the seat-belt the normal, mandatory way wouldn't work for her, partly because the enlarged breasts would make the belt slide up to her neck and partly because her nipple where too sore and tender after the operation (anybody but me who sees these two arguments as mutual exclusive?). So she opted for wearing the seatbelt over her tummy and under her arm. Which the police didn't like, and since she didn't have a medical statement for her problem, she was issued a ticket. Which she found unfair, due to her "medical condition".I got three comments about this story:
1. WTF???
2. Is the news week so slow that this is worthy front page coverage?
3. I try to be open minded and not stereo-type (glamour) models as mindless bimbos. Why do they keep doing that sooooo difficult for me?
...and I'm not going into the whole cosmetic surgery debate, female rolemodel, etc, etc.

I, on the other hand, don't have any problems with calling this individual - for whom traffic-related incidents including her tits and the police are not an unfamiliar subject - a mindless bimbo and an oxygen thief.
Her previous exploits of standing topless by the highway didn't provide enough media exposure?
"She's The One" by Eminem and Royce da 5'9" is basically an in-depth character study of this one.

Me neither. But I have a hard time not using story like this to generalize...
Ah well.
Just generalise. Noone will use it against you.
Yeah; come on, ya big wuss :-)
LOL
There's nothing like a bit of group pressure...
:-D

You are thinking way too much about breasts.
What I'd like to know is: What's her opinion on the Quality reform in higher education today?
...in the interest of getting an outside perspective
Torbjørn: No, I'm thinking too much about traffic safety.
Wilhelm: Isn't it stereo-typing to just assume that ms Bringsli is an outsider? Isn't it possible that she has spendt a fair share of time at different institutions of higher learning, and is an insider with deep knownledge of the activities at the Norwegian universities?
Anders: You could of course be correct, in which case she would be eligible for a complete refund of all expenses and annulment of her student loan based on the merit of her statements in this piece.
In short; she'd be a shoo-in for getting her money back if it turns out she's actually had any higher education. Clearly she didn't get any value for her investment.

That political correctness does not suit you, not at all!
Wilhelm: Are you saying that you can get your money back if you didn't get any value from you investement? Mmmh, maybe there's hope for me as well...
Torbjørn: That's my online personality. You know how people change when they're in front of a keyboard rather then face to face...

Yeah, but my impression was that people usually change in the opposite direction.
I'm saying that if you invested money in student loans etc. and got out with a degree, the criteria of which demand that you satisfy a modicum of knowledge and rational thought, then you have a strong case, yes.
Like if you've completed a GP study, got a diploma and you can document that you received the completion despite not having the prerequisite knowledge, and that the institution was aware of your lacking a couple of french fries on a Happy Meal
So, guys, what's the latest buzz in the chess circles?
...the word on the street in the chess circle is that the next time Stine Marie Bringsli stands topless on the side of the highway, she will do so with her thumb out, or at the bus stop.

I'd stop, in both cases, even.
You would stop to solicit her opinion on the stock market?

Mostly because I miss being a bus driver.
But I don't know shit about the stocks, so that might be a good idea!
LOL...while I myself know exactly jack and shit about the stock market, I have a rough idea about the traits of people I'd take advice from. Strange as though it may seem, a predisposition to standing topless on the side of a highway is not among the desired traits. Neither is an inability to state one's case without decimating the internal logic of one's statement.
In the defence of the honourable miss Bringsli, I think her advice on the stock marked wouldn't be any worse then the ones Terra Securities gave... And they were professionals!
How about if you include the caveat of actually reading the provided material by the brokers?

All other qualifications being equal, would that trait be decisive?

So reading skills are required to invest in the stock marked? Isn't that a bit harsh? Isn't that a bit like require basic math skills from scientific staff at, say, the chemical department at the university?

Considering the trait in question, do you consider this to be a likely scenario?

I see where you are going with this, and yet your ruse is doomed to fail on a technicality found in your statement. :-)

Now you're just dogding the question... :-)
Back to miss Bringsli. Isnt' it possible that she has been depicted the wrong way in the media? It does happen, you know. Even people with university degrees might have been featured less flattering in articles that one hope doesn't surface. Or is this, as you say, "not considered to be a likely scenario"?
Now you're just dogding the question... :-)
I see it more as a cross-correlated variables. Specifically between the underlying reasoning for standing topless along a highway and the capacity for making rational decisions. :-)
If you're walking by a 14-fingered individual in a straw hat who's interpreting Secret garden on the banjo, would you assume that bad taste in music is the only thing going on?

LOL..while I cannot in fact discount the possibility, there are other scenarios I interpret to be of higher probabilities based on the available data.

No other comment needed

Then your selected data isn't representative for the population.
:-)
Precisely, which is a good thing seeing as how "the data" in this case appears to be less than brilliant
