I completely agree with her view that people can choose whatever they want to do to their body. We have the choice and i suppose its much better to be individual that be just like everyone else i mean how boring. I like the way she has really personalised her blog, its reaaly well presented.

Comment on Louise-ann Bad comedians blog.
I completely agree with what you saying about comedians not needing to make offensive jokes. But unfortunately thats what people find funny. I mean look at films like 'Borat' or even 'Scarey Movie' this offensive politically incorrect ssattire style stuff is what people find funny. Unfortunately some comedians make jokes that are at the expense of other members of society.

Drugs
Here is my opinion on the following Drugs:
Cocaine- Is not 'a hell of a drug' as Rick James once said. Its the worst of them all, purely because it seems to have the best reputation. Its glamorised, by the rich and famous. But in reality whats the big fascination if you need to do this to feel good. You need help.
Weed - Don't get me started. Big fascination with this one. You roll it up, smoke it and then all of a sudden the worlds a calm wonderful place and you suddenly at one with nature. Don't make me laugh. What about everytime your mind feels at ease its just putting strain on your mind. But its the cool thing to do isn't it. We will see how cool it is in 20 years when your in a funny farm.
Thats all really.

Gambling
Just for the record the lecturer made a remark that getting insurance could be considered Gambling. But this is not the case as not to get insurance surely is taking more of a risk.
Deal or No deal, thats gambling right there, so why don't people think it's bad. Probably because the contestants actually start with nothing.
Gambling, bad i don't know about that one. If gambling was a bad thing why would people re-mortgage their house for a chance to go to Las Vegas. Why do millions of people do the Lottery, why would the Government actually want to create a super casino.
It must be said that Gambling is one of those things that is bad if done to the extreme for example, spending your life in debt due to gambling. Gambling can be very addictive. But people don't get addicted to actually spending their money, they get addicted to the probability they could actually be better off from their efforts.
The harsh reality is that the people that tend to get all the money from Gambling are the owners of the companies that manage gambling for example, Totes and especially the national lottery. People have this hope that they will end up with as new car and a whole new life. To me the Lottery is just another tax for us to pay.
Dog fighting, animal fighting or whatever. Thats wrong i mean i'm not a lover of animals but thats really abit extreme.
This link provides a help service for people that have gambling problems so if you think its all glamour have a look at this
People paying money to watch that and the fact that its classed as gambling, is one of those factors that gives gambling a bad name. But i suppose people bet on boxing don't they and that two human punching each other till one of them falls over and that glamorised and even televised, so once again the question is not 'Is gambling bad' it is 'who likes gambling and who doesn't'? http://www.gamcare.org.uk/

Telling Lies
Telling lies, porkies or whatever you want to call it.Its not a illness, its not even a bad thing depending on what you are lying about. Everyone lies, so why is THIS such a bad thing? For example Bill Clinton LIED about having sexual relations with Monica Lewinsky, then later admitted the truth. So if the then President of the United States can, you'd think a little white lie wouldn't be such a disgusting thing.
Being able to tell lies is a pretty bad quality to have and if you feel as if you have to lie to someone then whats the point?
Lying is bad, but so is telling the truth sometimes, there is nothing wrong with white lies such as - no you don't look fat in that, or don't worry there plenty of fish in the sea. We've all said those things to make someone feel abit better. But the thing is if we told people the honest truth all the time we'd end up being very lonely people.
If everyone in the world told the truth, the world would be a very honest place. Honesty is the best policy in very small doses. Don't get me wrong i don't want to be lied to, but can you imagine people just giving their honest opinion on everything from your hair to the way you live your life, sometimes its better to let people work out the truth for themselves. I mean i thought the idea of Father Christmas was great until i saw for myself that my Dad was clearly the one eating the mince pie on christmas eve!
Lying is not bad, in moderation like everything else as long as you are not a compulsive liar then your alright i suppose.
Lies can be terrible thing, if someone lies to you badly it can affect the way you look at people. You may class all people as bad.
But if i ask someone if i look a bit rough to be honest I'd expect them to lie and say no of course not, but i would need them to tell me the Truth.
I hate being lied to, but i can't hate lies because i have lied. I can't say lying is bad because its something that i have done myself.
For information on what lies actually mean check this out it will tell you anything you want to know
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lying (i'm not lying by the way).
And if you lie this guy right here, Jeremy Kyle undisputed king of daytime t.v (in my opinion) will come down on you like a tonne of bricks. For information on lie detectors and how they work see this link http://www.howstuffworks.com/lie-detector.htm.
