		<description>Now this is something that Swedes despise, due to the feminism here. Can you imagine? Something positive about Sweden, at last :)
Beauty contests are regarded degrading for women. And I agree wholeheartedly.</description>

		<description>No, but emulating those girls that they see on TV and thereby idolizing them influences girls to be something that they were not made to be.  They have an impact, because they teach (indirectly at times) that what is important as how you look.  You should be fit and eat well, but you shouldn't starve yourself to be like an idol.

Whereas the Bible emphasizes a woman's inner person, beauty pagents tend to emphasize the outer.</description>

		<description>"regardless of whether or not it gives some teenage girls eating disorders)"

Uhm, it isnt these pagents that "give" girls eating disorders! LOL, its spiritual in nature, and Im sure the Devil just loves to encourage girls to watch these things so he can whisper in their ears all manner of nonsense like "you're too fat" "you don't look good enough to.." blah blah blah... But the TV or media or anything at all doesn't MAKE these girls this way. The devil influences them, and they either don't know Christ, or don't understand about the battle for their minds and how to win in Christ.
