Contraception is it a form of Abortion?

IS ABORTION TAKING THE PILL

This is a bit long. Too complicated topic. Obviously preventing pregnancy by taking the pill is not a form of abortion. I think abortion is when you know that you have conceived and you know that you are pregnant and then you go to the clinic to make them get rid of it which to me is a form a murder and should be jailed for it. God said, "Go forth and multiple." So people learn to have sex after marriage or be on the pill. Some people cannot have kids so by all due respect you can give the children up for adoption. You can also use condoms to prevent STD'S.

Well done Liverpool. Come on Manu utd.

Well I am not a Liverpool fan. I don't mean to brag but Liverpool were brilliant in the Champions League aganist Chelsea. Who had thought that Liverpool would beat

the money bags. Absolutely fanstastic.

Do not forget that the legends manchester united will be playing tonight and without a doubt the Legends will bring the Champions League trophy to old trafford were it belongs. I think we all agree. Come United.

stalking is very Bad

Stalking is bad and dangerous because you are invading people's privacy. The people that stalk other people are idiots. Some of them have been hurt by being dumped and the fact of seeing their ex-boyfriend or girlfriend with other people hurts. It is very dangerous as you can get killed so it's better to report to the police if you are aware of someone stalking you. I really think these people that stalk are mentally ill and should be shut into safer institutions and get help as they are a hazard to the society and to themselve. http://www.alamogordonews.com/news/ci_5789071s.

Banning of wearing religious symbols in state environment

There is nothing wrong with people wearing religious symbols as long as it does not cause a threat. But I do have concerns of teachers wearing a full veil out fit while teaching. Amina Azmi a teacher was dismissed of her duties. Read the story here if you are interested http://www.personneltoday.com/Articles/2007/04/02/39988/teacher-at-centre-of-veil-row-loses-dismissal-appeal-against-former-employer-kirklees.html

Children should know and see the teachers they are dealing with. Anyone can turn up to school pretending to be the teacher which puts lives at risk. In October last year, a tribunal ruled that the school’s actions that Amina Azmi did not constitute either direct or indirect discrimination on the grounds of the teacher’s religious belief, although a compensation payment was awarded to her due for injury to feelings. So you lot what do you think. Should it be banned.

Swearing

Swearing is not acceptable in any way. Almost everyone do swear as this is shown and used by the media through music and films like "Big Brother" the incident that involved Jade Goody and Shilpa Shetty.

People have embraced swearing as part of their day to day Language and using the grammar when they feel like it. Many children now days use swear words as the environment is now corrupt with swear words. I was shocked whilst in my lecture the lecturer told some students to f**k of WITH A RED FACE. It's disgusting.

Response to Blog Aganist teenage pregnancy

I do agree with you that teenage pregnancy is a problem in England in this modern day. But partially do not agree with your view that it is the parents fault. Teenager's choose to be rebels against their parents whether told of the consequences or not at some point. Your child may behave in the way you want them to behave in your presence but as soon as you turn your eye of them all their innocence is lost. Of course teenager's roam all day you can't tie them down especially with all these human bloody rights. Media is to blame sometimes because they show to much sex but you have an option turn of the television and watch something else. I think more sex education should be taught more in schools. As soon as your child turns 16 talk to them about it and take the courage to take them doctors to get precautions. Now days girls are having sex at an early age. lets face it. All I can say people learn to close them legs.

Man cuts of his penis in a busy restaurant

http://www.guardian.co.uk/uk_news/story/0,,2064406,00.html

It's sad that someone would just burst in a restaurant and cut of their penis in front of all the people who were present. I feel sad for those that were enjoying their meals they had paid for. Imagine if your were on a date and something like that happens.

Would you visit the restaurant again?

Do you think the person involved is mentally ill?

Frustrated with woman?

Not having sex?

Could someone tell me. Have a look and read the story.

Response to Blog Smoking

http://badisthenewblack.blogspot.com/

You stated that smoking does not really bother you. Maybe this will give you a shock and then it will bother you. You mention you hang around smokers you better do a run for your life before you get the after effects as second hand smoke is the most dangerous.

Tattoos and Piercing

In now days people have tattoos for different reasons. Some people like to have lots of tattoos all over their bodies just for seeking attention from the public, others like to have them to look different from the rest not really understanding what can happen if it goes all wrong as shown in the picture. Almost everyone has a piercing to improve on their image by wearing jewellery as you can see on the picture. Having a lot of people will make people think that you are weird and do drugs.

Response to blog Euthanasia

I feel that euthanasia is wrong whether it is an act of mercy or not. It is just the same as committing murder and should be jailed for it. I am glad that it is illegal because everyone would go about killing each other for the act of mercy. I do have consideration for woman that are given abortion as an option by qualified medical staff. This is by if the baby they are carrying can endanger their well-being or if the child is severely handicapped although I also believe there are God's gift to us.

Masturbating/ Wanking

The topic is a bit uncomfortable. The lesson was enjoyable and many people had something to say although it was a bit weird to start with. I could not believe that masturbation or wanking as it is known has a history behind it. I do not think there is anything something wrong with masturbating as you are pleasing yourself especially when you don't have a boyfriend or girlfriend. This is a bit long.

Response to blog on masturbation/wankers

They is nothing wrong with wanking or masturbation. I think boys go through it because it is hard for them to get a girl. I do not know about girls maybe the ugly ones do. You have alternatives be a prostituate.

How I feel about the movie, "Kids."

I feel that the movie that was shown in the lecture was portraying the truth about what is going on in the society today. It was showing teenager's selling and taking drugs which is now a problem in this modern day. It also shows how people can be led into doing these bad things through peer pressure as they want to fit in as well to be counted as part of a gang. It is showed how boys are very charming and selfish in order to get sex from girls by telling them or there in love and will do anything for them. Actually I think the girls involved in that movie are idiots that don't have set morals and values.

Gambling

Gambling is not acceptable if you are harming people. For instance, stealing credit cards from people in order to gamble. If you work and feel like to gambling then that is self choice, but gambling does not necessarily bring good fortune rather debt and addiction. A gambling addiction comprises with a persons life, being at risk of unnecessary failures with money and a down pour on life goals or possibly a future that was once promising.

Lying with integrity?

Personally I feel lying is wrong but sometimes telling a lie could be the right thing depending with the situation. For example if two parents are going through a divorce, they may protect their children's feelings by withdrawing the truth from them until there are old enough to understand. Some people lie to boost other people's confidence. For example by saying, "you look nice today" when really they don't. Lying is bad as it can break other people's relationships. It can cause people to become rivals and a form of a gang culture is created, which may lead to someone getting killed. You may also get caught up by telling a lie and have no way out.

Smoking Is bad.

Smoking is bad when you smoke in public. This is because you will be putting other people's health at risk. Many people are dying of second hand smoking and hospitals are getting flooded with people with cancer related with smoking, for example throat and lung cancer. Smoking is not exactly part of being bad as people smoke for various reasons like reducing stress as well as part of socialising. It becomes bad when it becomes an uncontrollable habit. They are other bad things that are worse than smoking like taking explicit drugs like cocaine, which makes people go crazy that's when it becomes bad. People smoke to try and fit in with their peer group or friends in order to feel and look cool.

Praying in public.

The lecture on religion was very interesting. Many people have different beliefs and opinion about people praying in public and other people were optimistic if miracles do happen through prayer. I think praying in public is acceptable as you will be going on about your own business not bothering anyone as everyone have the right to express their feelings and free to exercise any religion they wish . Praying is a way of communicating with God on a personal level and its up to you whether you pray whilst travelling on the train or visit a local church. It does not matter when you choose to do so after all it is a free world.

What kinds of being bad are involved with infidelity?

The lecture on infidelity was interesting as I think people should not cheat on each other as their are lots of diseases like AIDS spreading and many people having unwanted babies. Many people use infidelity as a way of lying knowing others vulnerabilities and using them to ones own advantages. The series of a one night stand is a form of cheating as if you are with someone and its not an open relationship you should stick with them. But if you are single one should be able to date a variety of people until satisfied. Some people choose to cheat and do not want other people to know about it as they want to make everyone think their relationship is okay. Selfishness can also be the factor to cheating as relying on the fact that they will not get caught not taking consideration that you can hurt someone. Therefore taking a risk of a situation you may not be able to get out of.

Is Prostitution to take money from someone who is expecting sex and do not supply it?

Taking money from someone who is expecting sex and do not supply it is not prostitution. In any society when that transaction happens man shouldn't offer money to woman if they was no spoken word to discuss about sex. Some people earn a living through having a career to con people who offers them money. the woman in the television series, 'Breakfast at Tiffany's, 1961, Paramount was just fortunate that the man she targeted were rich and they found her attractive and offered her money as they fancied her. The man just assumed that she was up for sex after giving her money without confirming before hand. Some people could be facing things like gas and electrical bills during that time the man offers them money. The person takes the money to reduce the strain.

Is shoplifting any different to any other kind of theft?

If you shoplift you may not hurt anyone for example, shoplifting a packet of sweets unlike breaking into someone's car they may get hurt. If you shoplift from a big company they can afford to replace the item as they want to keep the business running. They also want to stay and maintain the standsrds required to competition with other companies and satisfy their customers by providing the goods. the people who can afford to buy things shoplift them instead as it makes you feel good if do not get caught. You can resale the item you store and make profit without having to have spent your own money to buy it in the first place like the woman that stole clothes and did not get caught in the television series, 'Breaking Out is hard to do, 'Family Guy, 2005, Fox.
