Comment on Smurfie's Blog on modification

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.
