Wearing Fur
Many people believe that fur is wrong and not fair but why do people wear fur? Fur will keep you warm in the winter, fur lasts forever, many people believe that by buying fur you are supporting thousands of people living on the land and that fur can be worn on all occasions.
Why people will not wear fur: some believe that if you wear fur, you are supporting a horrible and gruson industry, letting the animals live in poor condition, fur farming are often of a very poor quality and that some of the fur is from animals catch in a trap.
I'm not sure what I think of people wearing fur. I can see why people have a problem with it. But if the animals are already dead, why can't their fur be used. Also I think it can be nasty on the animals, if they are still alive and they can feel it. Why do people not think of the animals. In the UK, if an animal gets hurt companies like the RSPCA will stop it and I think why are they not doing this for people who kill for fur. The way the animals are kept on the farm it really horrible. Many people protest about the way the animals are kept and people wearing fur. I remember people throwing red paint on people wearing fur.
Their is a chairy that works to stop the animals getting hurt and to make sure that the animals have some kind of rights in the way there are treated. The PETA work with celebrities and others to help protect the animals. I think these chairties are really good and do help the animals. But I think there should be more done to help these animals.

Celebrities being bad
One thing that I always find funny is that celebrities do these things and expect to get away with it because they are in the public eye. A lot of the time they do and that not fair on everyday people. If we did what some of them do we would go to prison for longer than 45 days. I think some of the reason could be for that celebrities to get in press.

Body Modification
There are many celebrities who have taken body modification too far: Pete Burns, Jordon aka Katie Price and Michael Jackson. However there are also some non-celebrities who have taken body modification too far: Elaine Davidson "the most pierced women" Cindy Jackson "has had the most plastic surgery" and Katzen "catwomen"
I think everyone is aloud to do what there want to their body. It can improve someones self-esstem and make them feel good about themselves. However i think some people can take it too far like the "catwomen" she has fangs and has a tattoo all over her body I think its just weird thats all. I understand that people want to look different but that is taking it too far in my eyes. Plastic surgery is something that I would have done and the reason for this is because I think it can improve peoples lifes. But people can take it too far like Michael Jackson.

Tattoos
I don't think tattoos are a bad thing. I think some people take it too far. There is a man that has a skull tattoo on his face and a man that has glasses tattoo on his face. Which I think is silly, are these people going to wake up one day and go... what the fuck have i done??
There are many television shows about people having tattoos and i think it highlights that a lot of people are having tattoos. To be fair, I would love a tattoo but I'm scared that it will hurt and I can't handle pain very well. My friends have told me that it doesn't hurt so what it stopping me??

Abortions
People around the world believe that abortions are wrong and there has been a lot of debates about the rights or wrongs in a lot of cases. Many activists believe that they are ethical, moral and biological issues towards abortions. There are even debates about making it illegal to have an abortions. In the UK, there is an abortions act 1967. The act states that all abortion should be carried out in a hospital or licensed clinic.
To me, there is nothing wrong with having an abortions everyone has the right to have one. Many women get pregancy by accident and sometime can be the hardest decision one women had to make. I think women have the right but I also think men have to have a say in the descision. The reason for this is because it takes two to have sex and it should take two to make the descisions about whether to keep the baby or not.

Bandits and Outlaws
Robin hood:
He is a heroic outlaw in English folklane. A highly skilled archer and swords man, he was always know as the man wh0 robbed from the rich to give to the poor. He worked with a group of outlaws known to him as the "Merry Men"
Jesse James:
He was a modren day Robin Hood because it was said that he robbed from the rich to give to the poor however people described him as a kind man, a dapper dresser and a prankish charmer but he was also called a cold-blooded murderer, robber, horse thief, racist and a terrorist. He and his gang were very dangerous men.
Are these people right? Yes and No if these people are helping the poor and giving them money to basically live then they are good people but when they are taking from the rich and killing people like Jesse James i think it is wrong!! How are they helping others by taking from them? I understand why there do it but is it fair to kill people over money? No.

Swearing
Swearing is a common thing in the UK. I swear, my sisters swear and both my parents swear. Some people think swearing is insulting and rude. Swearing can easily become a habit and generally a bad habit. On average we swear 80-90 words each day, so how can people think it is rude and insulting?? Many people swear when they have hurt thenselves to help with the pain. http://www.telegraph.co.uk/science/science-news/5803300/Swearing-can-reduce-the-feeling-of-pain.html
I think this newspaper is right many people swear when having hurt themselves. I do, my mum and dad do so. You must pick up the habit of swearing from someone?
Now when famous people swear it is big news so when people swear on radio it is going to get complaint from listens. Here is a story in a national newspaper about a radio presenter swearing on air.
http://www.telegraph.co.uk/culture/tvandradio/7545091/Nicky-Campbell-shocks-Radio-5-Live-listeners-by-swearing.html
I love swearing and I think as i have gone to university I am swearing more and more everday. I think it is a way to say what I think and to say what I feel. So I'm not going to stop swearing it's just when i go home I will not swear as much as I normally would at university. Here is a video of Stephen fry saying why he loves swearing:

Stalking
When celebrities get stalked it is because the celebrities states where they live and where there are going to be in the day. We know a lot of things about celebrities, its just that some people turn that into something else. People like Brad Pitt, Steven Spielberg and Gwyneth Paltrow. I'm sorry but celebrities must expect something from fans or "crazy people" as some people put it. If they didn't put their lives in the media all the time maybe they would not get any stalkers

Drugs
I know a few people who take drugs on a day to day basis. I have nothing against people smoking or taking drugs! The only problem I have is when people who earn no money, live on benefits and buy drugs with that money. Also I hate how people pressure people into trying drugs. It's not fair on people who have made the decision not to take drugs!

Kids movie (1995)
When we were talking about the film kids, I was sitting there thinking what the hell are we going to watch! When the movie was describe to us, it was not a movie that I would watch. I mean the basic outline is about a young boy that like de-flowering young girls.
When the film started, on the screen was a boy and a girl making out. Next thing we know he is trying to de-flower her and it got me thinking. It this what all boys do? Tell the girls a pack of lie just to get laid. As we got more into the film, I started to think. A lot of what was happening in the film happens every day in the UK.
The film had 5 different producation company produce these film and this was so that there was enough money to even make this film. Even with the film receiving mixed reviews on the film it grossed $7.4 million. I like the film and I can understand why it had a hard time. I think if it was released now, it would be easier to produce and it would make more at the box office. The reason for this is because it would not shock people as we have seen worse. I'm sure we have.

Drinking is good!
http://www.netdoctor.co.uk/ate/smokingalcoholdrugs/205278.html
Another problem with drinking a lot, is when people get in front of a wheel. Not just for the person behind the wheel but if that person crashes and kills someone than it will cause a lot of pain for both parties involved. Think of the family that have lost a child because of someones silly decsion to get in front of a wheel.
Here is a video of how us brits are trying to crack down on drink driving:
Make sure you eat before you start drinking.
Don't be pressured into drinking too much.
Don't be forced into drinking too quickly.
Don't mix your drinks. Mixing drinks can make you more drunk than if you stick to one type of drink.
Make sure you know how you're getting home before you leave the pub.
To avoid someone spiking your drink, don't leave it unattended and don't accept drinks from strangers.
I'm not saying DON'T DRINk! I'm saying be responsible for what you do and look after each other when going out and don't even think about getting behind the wheel. Alot of lifes can be affected by one that one decision to drink and drive!

Smoking
I have nothing wrong with people smoking. However when the smoke is blown in to my face, it makes me wonder how would that person feel if i blow a horrible smell in their face. I remember when my dad use to smoke and you would come in from school to a nasty smoke fulled room and all the net curtain turning a light yellow colour. Its not nice or fair on anyone.
Smoking for a long time can have affect on the person health. You are 10 times more likely to get Lung cancer if you smoke. All the major organs of your body are put under increased pressure by your habit. However anyone who smokes is allowed to do what there when to their body. So who are others to tell us what to do.
There are many get company trying to get people to stop smoking: http://smokefree.nhs.uk/ This is an NHS compain to get people to stop smoking.
This is a company that looks smoking ads:
http://www.toxel.com/inspiration/2009/10/08/17-creative-anti-smoking-ads/
This is very intesting as this company looks at everything to do with smoking and even looks a passive smoking.

masterbuation
In the lecture, people were stating what the other names are for masterbuation. It got me thinking the reason why boys have so many names for the activity. I think this is because boys will be more open and honest about masterbuation while the girls are a lot less open about it and wouldn't not share this information. All the stories that I have ever be told about masterbuation has come from boys that I went to school with, which consits of them telling each other when and how many times they have done it on a day to day basis's. Girls are less likely to talk on the subject, however i'm not saying we don't do it but we just don't openly talk about it! A lot of men masterbate names can be very violence names like pull the monkey where as female names are more playful and softer.
Here is a video of a father embrassement to talk to his son about masturbation:

Lying
Benjamin Franklin stated-"Half the truth is often a great lie." If this is true do we lie everyday or just once in a while? I think we lie everyday, even if it just a small lie. I think we lie to make friends, keep friends and even lie to our parents. Even I have done it!! Everyone lies but at what extent do we lie and why do we lie??
Lying can become out of control, some people become serious liars. If this happen it can have horrible consequences for the people involved and even people who know that person. Whether its lying about who u are to lying about the kind of money we have. The problem with lying about who you are is you start becoming that person and if you lie about money, you will have to started spending that money! Which in many case you just don't have.
The artcial here is about lying and why we lie:
http://www.livescience.com/health/060515_why_lie.html
The professor that looked at lying stated that we lie to boost our self-esteem!
"We find that as soon as people begin to feel that their self-esteem is threatened, they immediately begin to lie at higher levels." If this is true, when ever we feel people are threating us wheather it is to do with the kind of gadges they have, do we lie and say we have this and that. To me there must be different ways to boost our self-essteam other then lying.
This video is about how we lie and why we lie:
