Remove Under Eye Bags Men

Posted on May 19, 2012 by

There is a new men's eye gel that can only be described as unique. With a single picture, you can see that bags are gone and wrinkles have faded. Puffiness and dark circles are reduced. Most of these anti-wrinkle, anti-aging products just don't work. In fact, you're lucky if you don't have an allergic or other adverse reaction.

You see, the cosmetic companies have their bottom-line, not your best interests in mind. There are many products on the market that have never been fully evaluated for safety. A researcher has to go to the trouble of proving that something is "not safe" and then he still can't get the product pulled.

Here's what an anti-aging eye gel can do for you.

Reduce Bags and Puffiness

In a recent clinical study 65% of the volunteers showed a marked reduction in bags after using a gel that contains EYELISS. It's a proprietary compound that contains:

*Glycerin, an effective moisturizer
*Hesperidin, also known as vitamin P, shown to promote capillary health
*Palm oil, another natural moisturizer
*Valine, an amino acid necessary for the production of new skin cells
*Tryptophan, another amino that improves circulation

Get Rid of Dark Circles Under Eyes

In a similar study, volunteers with dark circles under their eyes were chosen to participate. Using a gel containing HALOXYL, the volunteers saw a 60% reduction in dark circles.

It contains:*Palm oil and glycerin, mentioned above
*Chrysin, an antioxidant extracted from blue passion flower, the active component for reducing dark circles
*Natural protein peptides that stimulate collagen and elastin production

For the Best Results for Eye Gel

In order to provide the biggest and best results, a company I found in my research has combined both of these ingredients with other nutrients like essential fatty acids and vitamin A. They actually have a complete line of skincare products for both men and women. All of which were developed to counter and delay the signs of aging. We all grow older but we don't have to look older before our time.

To get the best results, it is recommended that you use the men's eye-gel on a daily basis, a moisturizing cream after shaving, a deep cleansing mask every two weeks and a moisturizing mask on the alternate weeks.

Practice other good health habits; get plenty of rest, drink plenty of purified water, avoid personal care products that contain allergens and irritants, eat right, take a good daily multi-vitamin, etc. These things are important to your appearance and the health of your body.

Most products are covered with warning labels and that's a sign that they should be avoided. The ingredients in these new creams and lotions are literally safe enough to eat. -Margaret Bell

  6. QUESTION:
    bags under men's eyes?
    What is the best way to remove them?

    • ANSWER:
      A main cause of, or worsening of them, is chemicals and toxins in cosmetic, skin care (cleansers moisturizers, exfoliating ones included) and skin medicating products. They sicken skin and so prematurely age skin resulting in wrinkles, lines and bags. Check out this site- "Skin Deep Database: A Feelgood Resource". The Database reveals that there is an alarming number of toxins and chemicals in products.

      Consumer Reports - it's the only trustworthy, independent reviewer and tester of products - recently found that out of 16 wrinkle, dark circle treatment and eye firming products tested, no matter what price you paid - most expensive one being - all failed to significantly reduce wrinkles

      This safe, totally natural treatment is a quick and permanent way to get rid of them. It got rid of mine and those of wannabeblue 28 and Candi:) below.

      wannabeblue28: “Hi Mukunda M. I have just been rubbing my face with oil using my fingers and hands and It has made a HUGE difference in my complexion after just one night. …… My skin looks so much tighter everywhere and i no longer have bags under my eyes! Thank you so much for your post, I have been suffering with acne and under-eye circles since i was young.”

      Candi:) "I tried this a day or 2 ago, OMGosh it workedd out amazingly, thx some much and thx to you who ansered, they were all good answers. =D"

      Specialized massaging greatly tightens skin under and around the eye area and the bags go away. First make skin tight by opening mouth 3/4' and pulling lips firmly back against teeth. You will see that it very much tightens where the bags are and then the massaging itself also makes the tightening greater. and so it reduces them.
      Using both hands massage quite vigorously with front of palms and fingers held together:.
      (1) Long up and down sweeps close to nose from chin area up to near eyes.
      (2) Do another up and back at an angle from near chin point to cheek bone.
      (3) Do fast up and down massage close to eye from cheek bones at an angle of 45 degrees (on crows feet area).

      Do for several minutes daily (not necessarily in one session) and skin will become tighter under and around eye and the circles will visibly diminish in the first two or three days.
      Use any natural oil. Extra virgin olive and E.V. coconut oils work well for many. They are noncomedogenic - so do not clog or enlarge pores or cause breakouts

      YOGA MEDITATION is a great help also and is easy to do. It enables you to completely relax and gives you deep, restful sleep and relieves you of `all anxiety problems. 6 or 7 hours of deep restful sleep is considerably more beneficial than 8 or 9 more less restful sleep. Siddha Yoga has very effective meditation instructions You can find them online.

    ANSWER BOTH QUESTIONS PLEASE

    • ANSWER:
      If you are looking for home remedy to reduce wrinkles, try this.
      Smear honey on your face and leave it for as long as possible (but 5-10mins a day will do). then rinse off with tepid water mixed with a teaspoon of cider vinegar - this has a neutral pH and will act as a toner.

      And if you have some bucks, Lifecell anti wrinkle cream would be a good choice. You can have more information here.

  8. QUESTION:
    Are you affected by 'moobs' and 'double chins'...?
    High-flying men are queueing up to splash out on expensive plastic surgery in spite of the recession, surgeons say.

    The Harley Medical Group says the number of males going under the knife to get rid of double chins and "moobs" has jumped by more than a quarter in the last 12 months.

    It said city workers, civil servants and men working in politics, law and accountancy were most likely to use its services.

    Operations to reduce flabby breasts - dubbed "moobs", an abbreviation of "man boobs" - are among those most in demand.

    Surgeons saw a 61% increase in requests for the operation, which costs more than £4,000.

    Mini-facelifts to remove jowls, costing nearly £5,000, saw a 96% increase in popularity.

    However, demand for blepharoplasty, an operation to remove eye bags, was down by 16%.

    Riccardo Frati, a surgeon with the group, said: "The bad diets, punishing hours and stress that often go hand in hand with these types of professions make men prime candidates for premature ageing.

    "We're not surprised to see a trend emerge for professions most likely to opt for surgery as the side-effects of a punishing job can cause the loss of skin elasticity and encourage build-up of stubborn fat in key areas."

    More than 1,500 patients were questioned for the survey.

  9. QUESTION:
    black circles under my eyes?
    ok so i got black circles under my eyes... i dunno why... i think its from the following:

    1)
    Im stressing because of to much college work...seriously the teacher stressing me out with the things he says and also the amount of work he give us ( i got other subject aswell and he doesnt understand it)

    2) because i dont eat breakfast at morning (maybe)

    now i get 7 and a half - 8 hours or sleep and 9 sometimes (not over 9 though as it is not healthy)

    ok so i want to remove them...i seen an advert that a man applied something under his eyes and the bags disapear ... i cant remember the product name but the guy that was on the advert was playing on the Lost series i think (the main character that he is a doctor)

    so yh whats the name of the product so i can buy it?
    please dont mention any other like cures such as putting ice cubes under your eyes, and cucombers... i want that cream or gel watever it was

    • ANSWER:
      Do an Answers search and you will see many have tried all the under eye and dark bags creams and under eye rollers and report they were not even slightly effective.
      There is an epidemic of under eye bags and circles and many are reported by those in teens or early twenties. The main reason is reaction to skin sickening toxins in skin care, cosmetic and skin medicating products. Many teenage girls use 20 or more products daily and an alarming number of products contain skin(and health) harming toxins. See this site Skin Deep Cosmetic Database. A Feelgood Resource. The Database tested many thousands of products and identifies which ones are the most harming and those which are non or only minimally harming. So first thing to do is select the none or least harming products.

      Then try these safe, natural, tried and tasted treatments that quickly and permanently get rid of them. They really work and have helped many on Answers

      This is a response I received from wannabeblue28:
      “Hi Mukunda M. I have just been rubbing my face with oil using my fingers and hands and It has made a HUGE difference in my complexion after just one night. …… My skin looks so much tighter everywhere and i no longer have bags under my eyes! Thank you so much for your post, I have been suffering with acne and under-eye circles since i was young.”

      She had seen an answer I gave about how vigorous face massaging with pure natural oils had permanently rid my face of acne AND removed my bags/circles. Massage greatly tightens skin under and around the eye area and the bags go away. Find Answer with a search "Mukunda M vigorous massage to remove eye bags/circles"

      The most helpful ones are:
      (Using both hands together) massage with palms and front of fingers held together
      (1) Do long up and down sweeps close to nose from chin area up to near eyes.
      (2) Do another up and back at an angle from chin point to cheek bone.
      (3) Do fast up and down massage close to eye from cheek bones at an angle of 45 degrees (on your crows feet).
      Best if do for several minutes daily – will markedly tighten skin in eye area and diminish the circles in the first two or three days. Use any oil. Olive is good.
      IMPORTANT: To avoid skin pulling first make facial skin taught by partially opening mouth and pulling lips firmly back against teeth (tightens most of face)

      Use any natural oil. Extra virgin olive oil works well for many.
      Additionally facial yoga exercises help a great deal. Find on You Tube. Do the “The lion face” and try to hold for 30 seconds. A variation of that is protruding the tongue as if trying to touch tip of nose with tip of tongue.

      YOGA MEDITATION is a great help and is easy to do. It enables you to completely relax and gives you deep, restful sleep. 6 or 7 hours of restful sleep is considerably more beneficial than 8 or 9 more hours of non restful sleep. I found Siddha Yoga meditation was the most beneficial.

  10. QUESTION:
    Want to chuckle at some old jokes?
    Hunting Accident Joke

    A guy went out hunting. He had all the gear, the jacket, the boots and the double-barreled shotgun. As he was climbing over a fence, he dropped the gun and it went off, right on his penis. Obviously, he had to see a doctor. When he woke up from surgery, he found that the doctor had done a marvelous job repairing it. As he got ready to go home, the doctor gave him a business card. “This is my brother’s card. I’ll make an appointment for you to see him.” The guy says “Is your brother a doctor?” To which the doctor replies, “No, he plays the flute. He’ll show you where to put your fingers so you don’t piss in your eye.”

    Newspaper Ad Joke

    A woman posts an ad in the newspaper that looks like this… “Looking for man with these qualifications: won’t beat me up, or run away from me, and is great in bed.”

    She got lots of phone calls replying to her ad but one in particular stood out. After giving the man her address, he came to her house. She opening the door for him and the man said, “Hi, I’m Bob. I have no arms so I won’t beat you up and no legs so I won’t run away.”

    So the lady says, “What makes you think you are great in bed?”

    Bob replies, “I rang the door bell didn’t I?”

    Waking From Anaesthesia Joke

    A man was just waking up from anaesthesia after surgery and his wife was sitting by his side. His eyes fluttered open and he said, “You’re so beautiful.” Then he fell asleep again. His wife had never heard him say that, so she stayed by his side. A few minutes later, his eyes fluttered open and he said, “You’re so cute!” The wife was disappointed because instead of “beautiful” it was now “cute”. She asked him, “What happened to ‘beautiful’?” The man replied, “The drugs are wearing off!”

    Bags Under Eyes Joke

    There is this woman who has bags under her eyes and wants to get them removed in the hope that she could look younger again. She goes to a plastic surgeon, and tells the doctor “No matter what I try, I cant get rid of these bags, please help me.” The doctor examines her for a minute and says “I’ll try a new experimental technique. It involves putting a crank in the back of your head. When you see bags under your eyes you’ll simply need to turn the crank and the bags will go away.” So she gets the crank put in her head and leaves. It works and works for a while until one day she can’t get rid of those bags under her eyes. She cranks and cranks as hard as she can but they just won’t go away. So she goes to the doctor once again and says, “Doctor! This was working for a while, but now I can’t seem to get rid of these bags under my eyes.” The doctor replies, “Lady those aren’t bags… those are your Boobs !” All she had to say was, “Now that would explain why I have this goatee.”

    • ANSWER:
      Hahaha!
      Now one for you:
      A couple was on their honeymoon, lying in bed, about ready to consummate their marriage, when the new bride says to the husband, "I have a confession to make, I'm not a virgin."

      The husband replies, "That's no big thing in this day and age."

      The wife continues, "Yeah, I've been with one guy."

      "Oh yeah? Who was the guy?"

      "Tiger Woods."

      "Tiger Woods, the golfer?"

      "Yeah."

      "Well, he's rich, famous and handsome. I can see why you went to bed with him."

      The husband and wife then make passionate love.

      When they are done, the husband gets up and walks to the telephone.

      "What are you doing?" asks the wife.

      The husband says, "I'm hungry, I was going to call room service and get something to eat."

      "Tiger wouldn't do that."

      "Oh yeah? What would Tiger do?"

      "He'd come back to bed and do it a second time."

      The husband puts down the phone and goes back to bed to make love a second time.

      When they finish, he gets up and goes over to the phone. "Now what are you doing?" she asks.

      The husband says, "I'm still hungry so I was going to get room service to get something to eat."

      "Tiger wouldn't do that."

      "Oh yeah? What would Tiger do?"

      "He'd come back to bed and do it again."

      The guy slams down the phone, goes back to bed, and makes love one more time.

      When they finish he's tired and beat. He drags himself over to the phone and starts to dial.

      The wife asks, "Are you calling room service?"

      "No! I'm calling Tiger Woods, to find out what the par is for this damn hole."

  11. QUESTION:
    Can face exercise really help with double chin and improving facial features on a man? Is it possible?
    Could exercises for face and neck really help with improving a guy's face and helping such stubborn areas such as the double chin?

    What about bags under the eyes? It would make sense that a face exercise could work and target one particular area on the face since it is a muscle.

    I noticed a site that had a program specially for men, http://www.menslifezineultra.com and was thinking about getting it.

    But has anyone here tried that program?

    From what I gathered so far, it would make sense that face muscle exercises would work somewhat similar to regular body sculpting exercises.

    So any guys with face exercise experience? What has your results been like? I just want to rid myself of this annoying double chin and maybe firm up my shallow undereye areas and remove my zombie-like composure..

    • ANSWER:
      Yes, exercises for face and neck really works! I have been doing them for about a year now and have had incredible results, especially with the areas you are talking about; double chin! I guess I had a genetic predisposition to having this where I would gain weight there almost in the first place.

      I basically had about 4 exercises that I was aware of previous to trying the face sculptor program your talking about. They have 15 I think! Face exercise really works to target the main areas such as double chin, undereye bags , cheekbones and especially the jawline.

      I think the jawline and double chin/neck area are the quickest to see results with.

      If you really want to see results, I would combine some great exercises with a proper diet plan. And easing off the salt also, as this not only bloats your body, but your face also.

      Do cardio a few times a week and don't overeat! Maintaining healthy weight will help make these exercises for the face and neck MUCH more effective!

      I remember about 2 months ago starting on the atkins diet for just 2 weeks induction phase. Along for those 2 weeks I did the Face Sculptor program along with it and the results were beyond belief. It was like I was a new person.

      I actually got annoyed by people telling me how different I look. And looking my best made me a bit cocky.

      But on the down side I would definitly have to say you have to maintain the exercises for your face and neck.

      I guess this isn't such a big deal if you can just find the time to fit the exercises into your schedule.

      Like for example I do them sitting in traffic, at work, watching tv.

      It's really not hard to incorporate the exercises into your daily lifestyle. But I would imagine that it makes sense that you can also work out your face like the program says. There are over 50 or so? muscles in your face, so it would be naive to think you couldn't manipulate them in some way,shape or form.

      I combine facial exercises with some hardcore oblique crunches to get the neck also worked and also some pushups, which tones the beginning of the neck shaft.

      So in short, YES, exercises for the face and neck do work! You just gotta work them! It's as simple as that.

    I have dark circles under my eyes at 16!! It seems to get worse, what do I do?
    Are there any good products for a man to use? I know that cosmetic surgery is the only solution to have them removed but I will do that when I am 18.

    PLEASE dont state i should use tea bags, ice or anything like that because it just does not work! i need a PRODUCT which can help me, a cover up or something that will help me improve my bags.

    donald hall's poem "eating the pig" explanation?
    can someone explain whats the central message around this poem

    i really enjoy it and want to use it for oral interpretation

    BUT i'm still quite unsure what its about.

    i understand these people are eating the pig, but why the allusions?

    Eating the Pig
    by Donald Hall

    Twelve people, most of us strangers, stand in a room
    in Ann Arbor, drinking Cribari from jars.
    Then two young men, who cooked him,
    carry him to the table
    on a large square of plywood: his body
    striped, like a tiger cat’s, from the basting,
    his legs long, much longer than a cat’s,
    and the striped hide as shiny as vinyl.

    Now I see his head, as he takes his place
    at the center of the table,
    his wide pig’s head; and he looks like the javelina
    that ran in front of the car, in the desert outside Tucson,
    and I am drawn to him, my brother the pig,
    with his large ears cocked forward,
    with his tight snout, with his small ferocious teeth
    in a jaw propped open
    by an apple. How bizarre, this raw apple clenched
    in a cooked face! Then I see his eyes,
    his eyes cramped shut, his no-eyes, his eyes like X’s
    in a comic strip, when the character gets knocked out.

    This afternoon they read directions
    from a book: The eyeballs must be removed
    or they will burst during roasting. So they hacked them out.
    "I nearly fainted," says someone.
    "I never fainted before, in my whole life."
    Then they gutted the pig and stuffed him,
    and roasted him five hours, basting the long body.

    * * *

    Now we examine him, exclaiming, and we marvel at him—
    but no one picks up a knife.

    Then a young woman cuts off his head.
    It comes off so easily, like a detachable part.
    With sudden enthusiasm we dismantle the pig,
    we wrench his trotters off, we twist them
    at shoulder and hip, and they come off so easily.
    Then we cut open his belly and pull the skin back.

    For myself, I scoop a portion of left thigh,
    moist, tender, falling apart, fat, sweet.
    We forage like an army starving in winter
    that crosses a pass in the hills and discovers
    a valley of full barns—
    cattle fat and lowing in their stalls,
    bins of potatoes in root cellars under white farmhouses.
    barrels of cider, onions, hens squawking over eggs—
    and the people nowhere, with bread still warm in the oven.

    Maybe, south of the valley, refugees pull their carts
    listening for Stukas or elephants, carrying
    bedding, pans, and silk dresses,
    old men and women, children, deserters, young wives.

    No, we are here, eating the pig together.

    * * *

    In ten minutes, the destruction is total.

    His tiny ribs, delicate as birds’ feet, lie crisscrossed.
    Or they are like crosshatching in a drawing,
    lines doubling and redoubling on each other.

    Bits of fat and muscle
    mix with stuffing alien to the body,
    walnuts and plums. His skin, like a parchment bag
    soaked in oil, is pulled back and flattened,
    with ridges and humps remaining, like a contour map,
    like the map of a defeated country.

    The army consumes every blade of grass in the valley,
    every tree, every stream, every village,
    every crossroad, every shack, every book, every graveyard.

    His intact head
    swivels around, to view the landscape of body
    as if in dismay.

    "For sixteen weeks I lived. For sixteen weeks
    I took into myself nothing but the milk of my mother
    who rolled on her side for me,
    for my brothers and sisters. Only five hours roasting,
    and this body so quickly dwindles away to nothing."

    * * *

    By itself, isolated on this plywood,
    among this puzzle of foregone possibilities,
    his intact head seems to want affection.
    Without knowing that I will do it,
    I reach out and scratch his jaw,
    and I stroke him behind his ears,
    as if he might suddenly purr from his cooked head.

    "When I stroke your pig’s ears,
    and scratch the striped leather of your jowls,
    the furrow between the sockets of your eyes,
    I take into myself, and digest,
    wheat that grew between
    the Tigris and the Euphrates rivers.

    "And I take into myself the flint carving tool,
    and the savannah, and hairs in the tail
    of Eohippus, and fingers of bamboo,
    and Hannibal’s elephant, and Hannibal,
    and everything that lived before us, everything born,
    exalted, and dead, and historians who carved in the Old Kingdom
    when the wall had not heard about China."

    I speak these words
    into the ear of the Stone Age pig, the Abraham
    pig, the ocean pig, the Achilles pig,
    and into the ears
    of the fire pig that will eat our bodies up.

    "Fire, brother and father,
    twelve of us, in our different skins, older and younger,
    opened your skin together
    and tore your body apart, and took it
    into our bodies."

    striped, like a tiger cat’s, from the basting,
    his legs long, much longer than a cat’s,
    and the striped hide as shiny as vinyl.

    Now I see his head, as he takes his place
    at the center of the table,
    his wide pig’s head; and he looks like the javelina
    that ran in front of the car, in the desert outside Tucson,
    and I am drawn to him, my brother the pig,
    with his large ears cocked forward,
    with his tight snout, with his small ferocious teeth
    in a jaw propped open
    by an apple. How bizarre, this raw apple clenched
    in a cooked face! Then I see his eyes,
    his eyes cramped shut, his no-eyes, his eyes like X’s
    in a comic strip, when the character gets knocked out.

    This afternoon they read directions
    from a book: The eyeballs must be removed
    or they will burst during roasting. So they hacked them out.
    "I nearly fainted," says someone.
    "I never fainted before, in my whole life."
    Then they gutted the pig and stuffed him,
    and roasted him five hours, basting the long body.

    * * *

    Now we examine him, exclaiming, and we marvel at him—
    but no one picks up a knife.

    Then a young woman cuts off his head.
    It comes off so easily, like a detachable part.
    With sudden enthusiasm we dismantle the pig,
    we wrench his trotters off, we twist them
    at shoulder and hip, and they come off so easily.
    Then we cut open his belly and pull the skin back.

    For myself, I scoop a portion of left thigh,
    moist, tender, falling apart, fat, sweet.
    We forage like an army starving in winter
    that crosses a pass in the hills and discovers
    a valley of full barns—
    cattle fat and lowing in their stalls,
    bins of potatoes in root cellars under white farmhouses.
    barrels of cider, onions, hens squawking over eggs—
    and the people nowhere, with bread still warm in the oven.

    Maybe, south of the valley, refugees pull their carts
    listening for Stukas or elephants, carrying
    bedding, pans, and silk dresses,
    old men and women, children, deserters, young wives.

    No, we are here, eating the pig together.

    * * *

    In ten minutes, the destruction is total.

    His tiny ribs, delicate as birds’ feet, lie crisscrossed.
    Or they are like crosshatching in a drawing,
    lines doubling and redoubling on each other.

    Bits of fat and muscle
    mix with stuffing alien to the body,
    walnuts and plums. His skin, like a parchment bag
    soaked in oil, is pulled back and flattened,
    with ridges and humps remaining, like a contour map,
    like the map of a defeated country.

    The army consumes every blade of grass in the valley,
    every tree, every stream, every village,
    every crossroad, every shack, every book, every graveyard.

    His intact head
    swivels around, to view the landscape of body
    as if in dismay.

    "For sixteen weeks I lived. For sixteen weeks
    I took into myself nothing but the milk of my mother
    who rolled on her side for me,
    for my brothers and sisters. Only five hours roasting,
    and this body so quickly dwindles away to nothing."

    * * *

    By itself, isolated on this plywood,
    among this puzzle of foregone possibilities,
    his intact head seems to want affection.
    Without knowing that I will do it,
    I reach out and scratch his jaw,
    and I stroke him behind his ears,
    as if he might suddenly purr from his cooked head.

    "When I stroke your pig’s ears,
    and scratch the striped leather of your jowls,
    the furrow between the sockets of your eyes,
    I take into myself, and digest,
    wheat that grew between
    the Tigris and the Euphrates rivers.

    "And I take into myself the flint carving tool,
    and the savannah, and hairs in the tail
    of Eohippus, and fingers of bamboo,
    and Hannibal’s elephant, and Hannibal,
    and everything that lived before us, everything born,
    exalted, and dead, and historians who carved in the Old Kingdom
    when the wall had not heard about China."

    I speak these words
    into the ear of the Stone Age pig, the Abraham
    pig, the ocean pig, the Achilles pig,
    and into the ears
    of the fire pig that will eat our bodies up.

    "Fire, brother and father,
    twelve of us, in our different skins, older and younger,
    opened your skin together
    and tore your body apart, and took it
    into our bodies."

      he loves the pig

      haha i think he is making a reference to how fragile life is, how quickly it can be gone, and how by consuming the pig they are accepting a part of him into their lives.

    any suggestions to what this Donald Hall poem is about?

    any comments on what the whole poem means to you would be great

    Eating the Pig
    by Donald Hall

    Twelve people, most of us strangers, stand in a room
    in Ann Arbor, drinking Cribari from jars.
    Then two young men, who cooked him,
    carry him to the table
    on a large square of plywood: his body
    striped, like a tiger cat’s, from the basting,
    his legs long, much longer than a cat’s,
    and the striped hide as shiny as vinyl.

    Now I see his head, as he takes his place

    • ANSWER:
      The reference to "ocean pig" is just a litany of "pigs" that describe the connections the pig has to history and man. The poem says that we are a part of everything we eat, and everything we eat is a part of everything that has come before. It details the unpleasantness of certain apsects of life, including butchering of animals to survive. The contrast is that on a farm you eat only what you need, but an "army" takes everything in its path, not just meat, but those things alive, built, edible, inanimate, etc. In other words, a farmer doesn't destroy, he consumes, whereas an army destroys. But this too is just a sideline of the broader message that says we are a product of all that has come before, and at last, we too will be consumed by something else, whether it be for food or destruction.

  16. QUESTION:
    Is it good or Bad taste too make fun of a players Disfigurement?
    Is it right or wrong to come on football forums such as this and make fun of the disfiguring injuries of players like Carlos Tevez or Jolean Lescott?

    I know Carlos Tevez is inspirational to many people like war veteran Simon Weston.is also. and give hope and belief for people who have suffered serious burns.

    Jolean Lescott is also providing inspiration to young and old disfigured like the boy in car accidents and other life changing events where there is always going to be that permanent reminder.

    I have a beautiful niece who looked like a little Angel and in my eyes and her parents eyes still does. but because some idiots decide to drink and smoke weed and then go and take a drive. My nieces life has been changed for ever. the idiots did not notice the lights had changed and hit my sisters car on the side. the idiots were protected by their air bags but no air bags in the sides of most cars. This was supposed to be her and her friends best day ever. going on a school trip abroad. first time ever abroad. so you can imagine the excitement of two young 12 yrlds. after the accident my sister spent 3 weeks in a coma but made a full recovery just a scar under the hairline. My nieces friend had a broken neck but luckily made a full recovery, physically but mentally the girl is forever changed. my niece being on the side that took the main hit spent four months in ICU was touch and go if she survived. thankfully her Angel brought her through. but she now has a huge metal plate in her head which will have to be changed as she grows. so alot more operations through her young life. but she suffered major scarring to her face and head. even after the years of plastic surgery operations she is to go through. she will always be scarred.

    How hard is it to tell a young girl that life goes on when her friends and everyone she sees in the media worries about just having a pimple or blackhead. and she has huge scars. and with the shock she has alopecia.

    I show her people like Carlo Tevez and more importantly Jolean Lescott who like her survived a car accident and still carry on and to her he now is a bit of a hero. I would like Man |City to get the boy just so i could take her to a match to maybe get his autograph.

    I ask this question as over recent weeks i have seen some questions that are of such bad taste they are shameful. I have seen carlos Tevez mocked but thankfully even the Man utd fans showed their disgust and the questions were gone.
    Mostly trolls who asked and answered those questions. but i saw a question yesterday in which Lescott was mocked for his looks because of his injury. and what shocked me was the answers were not trolls but major users on here and all joined gleefully in mocking the players injury.

    Thankfully the question has been removed but obviously not by all those that answered.

    I would just ask can we give some thought to even answering questions that are so disgusting you would slap them if they said it in front of you.
    In these days of people driving while drinking or taking another substance. or stealing cars to Joyride. its more likely you or someone close to you will be in my position sooner or later. I hope it never happens but its a now a higher risk.

    Can we let common sense and basic human decency not too let those who think this kind of thing is funny. get away with it by even giving them the courtesy of an answer.
    thanks sorry if its like war and peace its just something i felt needed pointing out.
    Danny what is good and healthy?
    Danny what is good and healthy?

    • ANSWER:
      It is definitely not good to make fun of players disfigurement. First, I would like to say that I'm sorry about your niece and the rest of the family. I hope she's doing fine and so is her friend. I understand how it feels. I'm a twin. I had two other twin brothers. They were angels and still are. We were so thankful once they were born because my mom had so many miscarriages. One day, due to a car accident, they unfortunately were injured severly. Next day in the hospital one died in my arms. God has taken them away. I feel bad every time I remember it. The day of the car accident, their bodies changed. Anyways, I'll move on because I'm crying thinking of this. Nobody, famous or not, rich or poor should be made fun of because of their disfigurements. They should be thankful that nothing like that happened to them. They should just ignore what happened. If they don't have something nice to say, then they don't need to say it. I don't judge people because of their appearance of disfigurements, I judge them based on their personality. Those who have made fun of them, don't understand what it feels like. My point is, if they wer put in Tevez or Lescotts' place, they would shut up and keep the harsh to themselves.

  17. QUESTION:
    Is my story good? (EXTRACT FROM BOOK - PLEASE READ!)?
    Clutching our soaking umbrellas and diving under the friendly charm of the cabin, the three others and I were relieved to know our destination had been reached. After three hours of paced walking, and a splitting headache that continuously disrupted my thought, several emotions tore up my thinking.
    Overall, I was rather upbeat, as we were careless enough to lose the map on the long journey, but now I was delighted to know we had finally made it without too much trouble. Secondly, anger sprung into my head as all of us were rather frustrated at each other, and I had a tendency to lose my temper easily, and had a snap at the others on the way. I glanced at them unpacking their bags, and turned away, but I could already feel their furious glares digging into my back.
    And, strangely enough, fear. Not fear of what will happen, but fear of the future. I have a feeling buried deep in my stomach something bad will stir.
    Without much thought, I swung my half-closed backpack and several under belongings under the bed on my left, which I had decided I’d be sleeping on - Although I didn’t think I’d be getting much of that, as a twisted wind focused its menacing energy on this section of the forest.
    There was no fuss when we went to sleep. A couple of the others scrambled around the house whilst I lay silently, but I didn’t really notice any of their antics. After a few minutes, mumbles and whispers faded into the darkness, and it turned silent. I drifted off quickly.
    Sharp, violent snaps of thunder deprived me of my well-earned sleep. I remained absentminded, and was subconsciously gazing at the dripping water from the other side of the window. That feeling of safety vanished from my thought when the angry rain grew louder, and more enraged.
    My blurred vision glanced to my clock resting against the window panel, which was glowing in the moonlight. The small hand just clicked towards one - in the morning. It looked as if tiredness had overcome me, and just moving was a great effort. I resumed to collapse into my raincoat, which colours of red and blue failed to stand out in the silvery light leaking onto me.
    What I did next was something I wouldn’t usually do. I sat up quietly, removed my coat and turned the light back on.
    After brushing my teeth and dressing into suitable clothes, I switched the light back off and crept over to my bed.
    Yet something stopped me. Even with the spitting rain driving itself down the window panes. I could still see them.
    There were three of them. Short, red bursts of light in the woods. Behind the mask of torrential rain, they were still visible - many of them - they were all moving. About ten metres away from the cabin, they were. Shifting closer, then moving away. Then it happened.
    A gurgling screech ripped through the cracking thunder.
    The other boys, one, two, three, sprung up at once, sweating, eyes alight and staring at me. No-one spoke. Not a word. They knew what they were doing. I even saw one of them grab the keys with a trembling hand on the way out. Huddling closely in the room, now lit orange, the key was turned, and the door widened. I clambered down about six metal steps, whilst clinging onto the boy next to me, his rubbery jacket coated in a muddy rain. I slipped and lashed out at the cabin, grabbing on tightly and splashing into a puddle. But the sound was barely noticeable, and none of them even glanced at me. Pace by pace, we arrived at the edge of the woods. Everything seemed pitch black, apart from those flashing lights in the woods.
    The trees seemed to form like a cage around us, slowly spacing apart, like the bars on a prison cell.
    The last thing I remember was a skeletally thin man with red streaks for hair pointing a sceptre at my face. The purple light flooded my sockets instantly. Faces turned pale around me, scratching their heads miserably, while they crumpled in the rain, when the man continued to laugh.
    I just turned fourteen.

    • ANSWER:
      I would say your story is pretty good. I enjoyed reading it and it certainly grabbed my interest. You have done really well, especially considering your age, and apart from a few grammar and spelling issues, which would be sorted out at the proof-reading stages, it is brilliant.

      Well done to you!

  18. QUESTION:
    Do you like these jokes?
    They're a little long but it's worth it all! Feel free to star me, I've never had a star! Rate each one from 1-10 please! And you can tell me a joke also! Best joke wins!! (or the answer I like best):

    1A man is driving along the motorway with his wife in the passenger seat. During the drive, the wife gets an idea. She starts taking off her clothing piece by piece and tossing them out the window.

    The guy is shocked but aroused. She gets her shoes, socks, etc. and chucks them out. Finally, she whips her underwear off and throws it all out onto the motorway. The guy is laughing and leering at her. He looses control of the car in the process and crashes into a barrier at the side.

    Unfortunately, the air-bag doesn't go off on his side, and he finds himself wedged in under the steering wheel. "Help, go get help......aggghhhh, I'm stuck", he shouts.

    "But I have no clothes on. What'll I do ?", she screams.

    "Here", he says wiggling his foot, "Take my shoe and put it over your crotch. It'll have to do, love. Quick, hurry!"

    She takes the shoe off his foot and places it over her crotch and gets out of the car, limping and shouting for help. After a few hundred yards of yelling and running a trucker notices this naked hysterical woman holding a shoe over her crotch, and pulls over.

    "What's seems to be the trouble?", he asks.

    "Help me", she screams, "My husband is stuck".

    "If he's stuck up that far I'm afraid I can't help you."

    and

    2One day I met a sweet gentleman and fell in love. When it became apparent that we would marry, I made the supreme sacrifice and gave up beans.

    Some months later, on my birthday, my car broke down on the way home from work. Since I lived in the countryside I called my husband and told him that I would be late because I had to walk home. On my way, I passed by a small diner and the odour of baked beans was more than I could stand. With miles to walk, I figured that I would walk off any ill effects by the time I reached home, so I stopped at the diner and before I knew it, I had consumed three large orders of baked beans.

    All the way home, I made sure that I released all the gas.

    Upon my arrival, my husband seemed excited to see me and exclaimed delightedly:

    "Darling I have a surprise for dinner tonight."

    He then blind folded me and led me to my chair at the dinner table. I took a seat and just as he was about to remove my blindfold, the telephone rang. He made me promise not to touch the blindfold until he returned and went to answer the call.

    The baked beans I had consumed were still affecting me and the pressure was becoming most unbearable, so while my husband was out of the room I seized the opportunity, shifted my weight to one leg and let one go. It was not only loud, but it smelled like a fertilizer truck running over a skunk in front of a pulpwood mill. I took my napkin from my lap and fanned the air around me vigorously.

    Then, shifting to the other cheek, I ripped off three more. The stink was worse than cooked cabbage.

    Keeping my ears carefully tuned to the conversation in the other room,
    I went on like this for another few minutes.

    The pleasure was indescribable. When eventually the telephone farewells signalled the end of my freedom, I quickly fanned the air a few more times with my napkin, placed it on my lap and folded my hands back on it feeling very relieved and pleased with myself.

    My face must have been the picture of innocence when my husband returned, apologizing for taking so long. He asked me if I had peeked through the blindfold, and I assured him I had not.

    At this point, he removed the blindfold, and twelve dinner guests seated around the table chorused: "Happy Birthday!"

    I fainted!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    and

    3Two hunters are out in the woods when one of them collapses. He doesn't seem to be breathing and his eyes are glazed. The other guy whips out his phone and calls the emergency services. He gasps, "My friend is dead! What can I do?". The operator says "Calm down. I can help. First, let's make sure he's dead." There is a silence, then a shot is heard. Back on the phone, the guy says "OK, now what?"

    and

    4A girls first time

    As you lie back your muscles tighten. You put him off for a while searching for an excuse, but he refuses to be swayed as he approaches you.

    He asks if you're afraid and you shake your head bravely. He has had more experience, but it's the first time his finger has found the right place.

    He probes deeply and you shiver; your body tenses; but he's gentle like he promised he'd be.

    He looks deeply within your eyes and tells you to trust him-he's done this many times before.

    His cool smile relaxes you and you open wider to give him more room for an ease entrance. You begin to plead and beg him to hurry, but he slowly takes his time, wanting to cause you as little pain as possible. As he presses closer, going deeper, you feel the tissue give way; pain surge
    (continued) throughout your body and you feel the slight trickle of blood as he continues. He looks at you concerned and asks you if it's too painful. Your eyes are filled with tears but you shake your head and nod for him to go on. He begins going in and out with skill but you are now too numb to feel him within you.

    After a few moments, you feel something bursting within you and he pulls it out of you, you lay panting, glad to have it over. He looks at you and smiling warmly, tells you, with a chuckle; that you have been his most stubborn yet most rewarding experience.

    You smile and thank your dentist. After all, it was your first time to have a tooth pulled.
    I hope you like it!

  20. QUESTION:
    What should I do about this idiot?!?
    Kind of a lengthy story. Met this guy at work over 2 years ago. We've become very close friends. We go shopping together, we go out to eat, we go to parties, etc. People at work always suspected something more was between us because even though we didn't work in the same division we worked in the same location. We would schedule our breaks at the same time so we could spend time together. He's gone through two girfriend's so far. I'm totally not proud of this but he cheated on both of those girls with me. I have extremely strong feelings for him and I would never help a man cheat on his girl but I felt so uncontrollably in love with him. No one's ever understood me the way he has and no one's ever made me feel the way he does. He's with this girl now and I can barely stand talking to him anymore because he thinks I don't mind hearing about all his problems with her. He'll call me to ask for advice on what to get her for her bday, christmas, whatever. He truly doesn't realize how I feel and I'm way too scared to let him know. I feel like it'll change our friendship forever. And I don't want that to happen. I feel really scorned by him though because he's done a lot to hurt me whether it was intentional or unintentional. He bought a ring that I put a down payment on for myself and gave it to her. He slept with me on V day but then called me and asked me to help him pick out a gift for HER. When they got into an argument a couple of months back, he called me to tell me that there was this random girl that said she wanted to hang with him and he had the nerve to call me to ask for my advice on what hotel to take her to!!! he sounds like a major scum bag and in his own right, he is. But there's a side to him that's beautiful. I really don't know if I should forget him and remove him from my life or if I should tell him how I feel. We're both adults. Over 21 but under 30. He's quite a few years older than me though. And on top of all of that, majority of the girls he goes out with look like me!! I'm Brazilian and Russian and have black hair, green eyes and tan skin. Not a common combo. But most of these girls look as similar as possible to me. I don't feel over him yet but I don't feel like I'm ready enough to tell him. I'd appreciate any feedback. Sorry about the length.

  21. QUESTION:
    Answerrr thisss ooooneee!(: ♥♥♥?
    I wrote this story based off of the song whiskey lullaby, tell me what you think(:

    He walked in with a smile so wide it went from ear to ear, with his left hand on the screen door to keep it from slamming shut, the wooden door wide open. He took in the perfumes of his Beloved Ashlyn, mixed with the smell of his home. The smell whirled around his head, as he inhaled it all smiling wider. Happy to be home at last. He dropped His bag he had held in his right and it fell to the floor with a thud. He looked around for a couple of seconds, recognizing his home, then looked over to the Piano, and on the surface were Frames with pictures of them both. As his eyes scanned the pictures, his smile never leaving his face, he removed his hat and tossed it onto the side table.

    He then remembered the day that he left for War, they stood in the front yard, under the Tall green tree that still stood. They clung to each other, as if never going to let go. His arms around her waist, standing there staring into each others' eyes, her eyes watered. He looked down at her, and kissed. The kiss was forceful, and urgent, his heart burst into a million butterflies as he pulled back and breathed in the fresh summer air. He held her with such intensity, her arms over his shoulders, he lifted her up and spun her around, her face buried in his chest. Breathing in the scent of his clothes.

    "I'll love you forever" He said looking into her almond brown eyes.

    "You come home," She breathed in smiling, cupping his face in her hands. "and we'll start our family" His hands trembled as he held her face.

    They both breathed in once more before kissing once more, her lips quivered under his, pulling back and smiling, he tucked her ash brown hair behind her ear. And he was off.

    He heard laughter upstairs, recognizing her voice, he smiled once more, and headed upstairs.

    His footsteps were slow but loud on the wooden floor, he stood still in front of the door he knew his Ashlyn stood behind, lostening the neck of his tie, he pushed the door open, to see her lying in their bed, with another man. The door squeeled as it opened, and she sat up on the bed pulling up the strings of her dress over her shoulders, her smile vanishing. The man just lye there looking at Mace, watching him standd there frozen at the door post.

    Mace backed away and looked down, devestated, he turned slowly, and walked out of the house, Ashlyn jumped off the bed and ran to him. But he was already on his Bike as the screen door slammed shut behind her, She yelled to him, running down the house steps as he rode away, chasing him as if she could catch him, but he was to far away..

    He just rode, looking straight ahead at the dirt road blankly, not knowing where he was going. He ended up in a meadow of nothing but grass and three large trees. He parked his bike and threw himself onto the grass, under the tree he lye. There was nothing left, he had made his life her. In her he saw what he had done, where he had been, and where he was going. But now, he was going nowhere. He blinked the tears away, that blinded him, not allowing him to look up at the sky.

    He ended up in the bar, drinking his life away.

    She searched for him, and was parked in front of the bar's alley, he lye there on the floor with the bottle of whiskey in his hand, she didn't see, so she drove away..

    He never could get drunk enough to get her off his mind, until the night, he put that bottle to his head and pulled the trigger, he finally drank away the memories.

    They found him with his face down in the pillow, with a note that read

    ill love her till i die

    The rumors flew, but nobody knew how much she blamed herself, for years and years, she tried to hide the whiskey in her breathe.

    Then the day came where she finally drank her pain away a little at a time, but she never could get drunk enough to get him of her mind until the night, they found her with her face down in the pillow, like the death of her beloved Mace, but she was clinging to his picture for dear life. They laid her next to him, beneath the willow..
