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.

Dominatrix

Refer to this site for an article about the Dominatrix and the Submission http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/in_depth/4271098.stm


For many people sexual pleasure is fundamental and by any means it should be fulfiled.
The practice of Dominatrix is all about the power relationship between the people involved and accepting the postion given to you.
This type of activity is used to replace the feeling of disintachment with society and other people. Quite often you will find male professionals of large company release stress via this actively and tend to incorporate it into their lifestyle.
Women usually take the role of the Dominatrix and the men tend to be the Submissive. The role reversal exsist because in society the man is seen to be dominate and powerful person within a relationship. This eases the pressure of the common association of macullin male and therefore balances out his emotion.
Please don't get me wrong this activity is commonly associated with the descripton above but more recently couples are opting for this type of pleasure because it is exciting and improves their selfesteem. *more to come.

There has be situations where the act of pleasure means harming one another such as soffication, cutting, burning and rough sex which are all meant to be done as a form of pleasure but result in perminate damage or death. Why do people seek extreme methods for pleasure?

Ha Ha!! It's not funny. (Comedians)

Comedy strives to get the audiences attention through jokes which are meant to be followed by laughter to show that what was said by the comedian amused you. However some comedians can get this very wrong and are not amusing but are vulgar, sexist, prejudice, racist and exaggerate stereotypes to the point it can be offensive. Not all comedians have to be any of these things but unfortunately a small proportion believe that they do and get it ever so wrong.

I had a lecture on Comedians and the one thing that shocked me was the fact that Comedians don't hold any opinions about the topic that they make jokes about.

How can this be true i thiught to myself, especially when some jokes are racially motivated and not about their own race.

The lecturer also informed us that things that we consider the taboos of society like; burps, sex, being common etc. Are the very reason why jokes are so funny. Things increase the boundaries of our humour because is seen as the 'wrong' thing

I do not find stand up comedians not very amusing but i do enjoy TV shows with comic' in them. I think this adds to the humour because their jokes are in a more realistic situation.

I used to enjoy Absolutely Fabulous , Gimmy Gimmy, and Vicar of Dibley.

Inside trading/account fraud/company ebezzlement

Crime which often gets bushed under the carpet is that which is referred to as Corporate crime or slang 'White collar' crime, because it is usually associated with business men and women.

Animal Testing

Every year, nearly 100 million animals die in research laboratories at the hands of curious scientists who perform inaccurate tests on animals. Before these animals die, they are routinely burned, scalded, poisoned, starved, given electric shocks, addicted to drugs, subjected to near freezing temperatures, dosed with radioactive elements, driven insane, deliberately inflicted with diseases such as cancer, diabetes, oral infections, stomach ulcers, Syphilis, herpes, and AIDS.

How can we agree that this form of experimentation is acceptable, if we would never agree to it being on human subject?

The Johns Hopkins Center for Alternatives to Animal Testing (CAAT) is a small, non-profit center. As part of the Johns Hopkins University Bloomberg School of Public Health, who are dedicated to improving health for both people and animals?
This organization is proof that there is alternative to the use of animal in our efforts to improve medical intervention of life threatening diseases. RF Halliwell, PhDUniversity of the Pacific have come up with a new method.
Neural Stem Cells may revolutionize the treatment of human disease and the discovery of new drugs. Stem cells might ultimately replace animal–derived tissues for scientific experiments. Stem cells are self-renewing with the capability of forming any cell type, tissue or organ in the body. Stem cell-derived neurons (SCNs) can now be grown in vitro allowing their properties to be studied but currently there is little data establishing their functional properties which is why some researchers still prefer animal testing.

Practical arguments
Animal testing has helped to develop vaccines against diseases like rabies, polio, measles, mumps, rubella and TB. Antibiotics, HIV drugs, insulin and cancer treatments rely on animal tests. Other testing methods aren't advanced enough. Operations on animals helped to develop organ transplant and open-heart surgery techniques.

Moral arguments
Human life has greater intrinsic value than animal life. Legislation protects all lab animals from cruelty or mistreatment. Millions of animals are killed for food every year - if anything, medical research is a more worthy death.
I maybe bias in my beliefs because i am a animal lover but i would not wish any harm on any living thing for if i knew that there were alternative methods available. Think about the products that you buy because it not only medicine which animal testing is used but cosmetic and beauty products as well. How 'BAD' do you feel knowing that unnecessary harm was cause to animal in the effort to keep you beautiful.

Weight loss and Extreme Dieting

Conscious about your weight never let it get the best of you.

The media make me feel really angery at the way they advertise and over glamourize ultra-thin women. Young girls are very impressionale and tend to fall victim to the glamour world of fame, fortune and flare. This make girls vulnerable, insecure and obsessed.

Magazines work with celebrates to enhance their look sometimes using CGI and studio buffing equpiment so that the women have a perfect look.

*Striving For Perfection*

The perfect family...The perfect boyfriend...The perfect friends...The perfect life...And above all...The perfect body...Ana and Mia can help you achive this.

Football Hooligans

The tension caused by the joy of sport especially when it comes to football. We Britains are usually the one with the worst reputation. Alcohol mixed with bad sportsmanship is a cocktail for aggression and violent acts.
