I am aged 20 and I am female.
I am currently studding joint HONs Philosophy and Politics
I have found that the subject 'Being Bad' relates well with Philosophy 'Critical Thinking' because i have to assess the information that comes from the internet and not all sources are reliable.
The topic on this subject is brilliant. I especially liked the topic on Body Modification because i am now more aware of things like wings caps and tattoos. I think that the historical context of where tattooing originated from and how western society stripped most of these developing country's. I felt embarassed to be even associatde with this country.

Response to: Triple being bad (Transgender/modification)
Mario,http://triplebbeingbadblog.blogspot.com/
I did not actually get a chance to go that seminor but i found what you had to say about the issue very interesting.
In my opinion what people want to do with their body is entirely down to the individual but i do think that people with sexual origin issue need to have theropist to explain some of the possible reason why they may feel a dettachment from their gender type because in the long run only a small proportion of Transgendered people can live a full and progressive life in their new form.
I watched a programme on Channel 4 which 'Homathedites' (born with both sexes) in India and the group as they were called had isolated themselves away from people and created their own little community seperate from everyones judgements.
The point i'm trying to make is that although these men and women are becoming socially acceptable alot of the time they are still not happy.
I personally don' t have a problem with Transexuals because at the end of the day we are all people.

Response to: The Truth (Religion)

The way that you talk about your religion is so meaningful to me. I love to see people who are religious and say that they are religious actually acting on those words.
I have been brought up in a Christian/ Catholic household. When i was younger i was dedicated to my religion and to my extended family but as time has gone i seem to have lossed touch of what it means to be religious and pround.
In my house religion used to be forced on us. I had to go to Bible studies, Junior quiors and religious festivals. I think that now that time has moved on a bit and i have more independence i hsve the freedom to choose whether or not to continue with my practice.
I am on of those people unlike yourself i am an occasional pariscipant in religious practise but i give my thoughts to God all th time i can feel his presence

Response to:Natalie Watkins (Abortion)
Firstly i would like to say that although you are supporting arbortion to some extent the choice of image was less sensitive to the topic (a embryo in a jar).
Besides that i would like to futher a couple of things that you said in your blog. I'm not sure if this was your idea or that you read it somewhere but i don't think women see aborttion as another form of birth control for two reasons it is a health risk as women tend to loss a lot of blood during the procedure and secondly because it is emotional.
I have very strong views about the whole abortion issue. Yes women have choices, Yes women have rights but women abuse their liberties especially mature women because i am assuming that they're wiser and understand the implications of their action. Younger girls from age 12-16 should have regular sex education on contraception and to stop making sexual intercourse a tabboo in society. Girls are more likely to tell someone close to them that they are pregnant rather than the school councilor because they feel embrarassed.

Response to:M6 Straight (Infidelity)
I like you to think about the comments that you have made.
In my opinion not all affairs are sexually orientated. If you have watched 'Sleeping with the Enemy', the wife only afraid of her husband and the affair was refuge from her troubled marriage. The man that she got involved with was a comfort to her rather than lust.
Don't get me wrong I agree that being unfaithful in any type of relationship is wrong but I want you to look at the other issues surrounding 'why' people choose to commit Infidelity.
Further more your point about Infidelity being common in western society I think is wrong. I think you are misinformed about what love is. If you love someone else regardless of you situation (married) you will pursue the person that you are in love with.
What do you mean by the NORM?
Do you really believe that some people see Infidelity as the norm?
I believe people in some cultures agree to multiple partners but that is as far as it goes. I think that if you have ever been cheated on you would have a better understanding of this issue. Speaking for experience if you really and truly love some one you learn to cope but you never condole this behaviour.

Response to: Jay-being-bad.(Prostitution)
I agree that Prostitution is increasingly common in Britain and other parts of the world. I think that Prostitution is badly represented in the media but i don't think it has been accepted in society. There is still a 'dirty' stigma attached to it which does not help those women that you talked about who see it as an easy way to support their family.
I like the way that you have shown both side of the industry and not just been critical of prostitution. I hope that others with less open minded views will see that we such encourage vulnerable women to seek help rather than turning to the streets for help. Women are vulnerable especially when it comes to 'PIMPS', they just want the money and will allow women to be raped and beaten. http://observer.guardian.co.uk/magazine/story/0,11913,1306267,00.html
Fathering your point about legalising Prostitution, like Amsterdam has is a great idea because at least that way the girls would be safe and regularly checked for aids which is a growing risk for Prostitutes who work on the streets.
