lying , it's better than a slap in the face


I tell lies all the time , when someone asks me how old they are I automatically take five years of what I think . When someone asks me if their bum looks big I never say no its your whole body that looks fat . Telling lies is part of a civil society , what we do govern is what we lie about and the reason for it . I would like to think I'd never tell a big lie but you can never say never . A time may come when I think the use of a large lie is warranted.Is lying really being bad or is it being kind . http://www.philforhumanity.com/6_Reasons_Why_We_Lie.html

Swearing is it that f*****g bad


Is swearing bad behaviour . As a swearer I would say no , but that I suppose is because I would hate to look like a hypocrite. Swearing has been around for hundreds maybe thousands of years all that actually changes is the word said out loud. By this I mean it is quite common to hear the word c**t in England used as a swear word , if you went to America and said the same thing everyone would probably just nod at you . just like if an American said fag here we would probably offer them a cigarette. Does a word become a swear word if it is said in a certain way to mean a certain thing.Is swearing not bad behaviour ,is it just self expression.

Rudeness



I would put rudeness in the being bad category , as I find rudeness very irritating.As a English women I pride myself on my manners but find unfortunately they are a dieing fashion . I don't drive so I catch the bus to uni and I find the cue jumping and pushing appalling . I find that no one stands for the elderly anymore and your hard pushed to find someone giving a women a hand with her push chair . What has happened in society today to push the value of manners so far back as a priority. I find this has become a pet hate of mine.Do we think that because others don't use manners we won't bother I wonder.

The worst being bad of all




All through the module we have looked at stuff that is deemed "being bad " and along with that we have looked for things that are bad . I found every sick , twisted and incredibly interesting bad stuff I needed on the Internet . In my opinion this is the ultimate bad , it gives you the access to the world be it good or be it bad. I think the minute we all hooked up to the net things started to go down hill . We now live in a society that is obsessed with the Internet. Everyone on face book or "chatting" on line .I think the sick and the twisted are able to share their stuff so much more easily it is scary. In society we have laws that govern our actions but they do not apply to the Internet . This is probably the scariest bit don't you think.

being bad


What does being bad actually mean . Is it misbehaving or having a crappy attitude . Is being bad a social thing or a sexual thing . In this module we have looked at areas that have been associated with bad behaviour , things like having affairs and having tattoos . Are these things really bad , or are we just changing the words from being judgmental to being bad . As I've said all along the ideas of being bad fit into the groups dictated by society . I would bet that if we did this module in other parts of Europe they would have completely different ideas . Is being bad really that bad at all.

wierd plastic surgery


http://www.topsocialite.com/the-15-worst-celebrity-plastic-surgery-disasters-you-will-ever-see/
Plastic surgery is an interesting topic. On the one hand, there are many plastic surgery procedures which have become so commonplace that they are more or less accepted by mainstream society. (Breast implants, face lifts, transgender surgery and gastric bypasses) On the other hand, there are choices that people make with plastic surgery which are considered controversial, cutting-edge or just plain weird.
Has the invention of re invention gone to far now ,is it a form of bad behaviour or just another way for individuals to mutate themselves.

Below are ten of the most unusual options for plastic surgery procedures, methods and decisions: (courtesy of the internet)

1. Hymenoplasty. There are a lot of strange kinds of plastic surgery that women can get for their genital region. Many of these types of surgery are even becoming almost mainstream. Women can get their outer lips re-shaped. They can get their G-spot amplified to increase sensation. And then there’s this plastic surgery procedure in which the hymen is reconstructed to make it seem as though you’re a virgin again. As any woman who has lost her virginity knows, it’s not all that comfortable to have your hymen broken. Why a woman would want to go through that again is absolutely beyond me.

2. Iris Implants to Change the Color of your Eyes. There are now surgical procedures available which actually allow you to permanently change the color of your eyes. They’re called intraocular implants (or may be known as iris implants) and they do require actual surgery to be performed on the eye. There are a lot of risks to this procedure. It was initially done to assist people with actual eye problems (such as albino eyes that were hypersensitive to light) but now it’s being done by people who just want to skip the hassle of color contacts and get the color of their eyes changed forever.

3. Pubic Hair Transplant. Apparently there are some women in the world whose bodies don’t grow huge bushes of pubic hair. While their hairy sisters are busy spending money on shaving, waxing and eradicating their pubic hair, these ladies are actually getting surgical procedures done to transplant hair to the pubic range. How retro. And how weird.

4. Nipple Removal. People who are interested in extreme body modification sometimes choose to get their nipples removed. This procedure is rarely (if ever) done by women because there are a lot of complications involved in removing female nipples. However it’s an increasingly common procedure among men in the body modification world. The procedure is painful, bloody and seemingly pointless.

5. Vampire Teeth Implants. There is a subsection of society that is not only interested in vampire stories but wants to truly become a vampire. One of the ways that people immersed in this world will do this is to get extreme dental surgery such as getting permanent implants of fangs on their teeth. This requires pulling out the original teeth and getting fake implants surgically inserted into the gums.

6. Ankle Lipo. Liposuction is a common surgery that everyone is familiar with. However some people really take it too far. There are some areas of the body that rarely have a lot of fat – ankles, the upper back and the neck are the best examples. If you’re getting ankle lipo then you’re really serious about your plastic surgery.

7. DIY Plastic Surgery. Sometimes it’s not the procedure that’s weird; it’s the way that you decide to do it. Doing it yourself is one of those ideas that is never a good idea. However because of cost (or because doctors refuse to do the surgery for one reason or another) there’s a frighteningly large number of DIY plastic surgery horror stories walking around out there. The most reported example is of a woman named Hang Mioku who had gotten so many procedures done that she couldn’t get a doctor to continue working on her. She was addicted to cosmetic surgery and started injecting herself with silicone to keep up her look. She ran out of silicone and then injected herself with cooking oil. Hello? Bad idea!!

8. Look Alike Plastic Surgery. This is comprehensive plastic surgery that is designed to make the patient look like someone else. Usually the person wants to look like someone who is famous. Sometimes, however, they want to look like someone else that they know (such as the case of the Mom and Daughter look alikes). Creepy!!

9. Extreme Plastic Surgery Requiring Many, Many, Many Plastic Surgery Procedures. There are a few people in the world who are trying so hard to look extremely different from the way that they look naturally that they have to get hundreds of thousands of dollars of plastic surgery (and some rather odd procedures) to complete the look. The most famous example is the man who is trying to look like a tiger. He’s had a number of different procedures done to make him look as feline as possible and he’s not done yet. He plans to keep getting more work done as long as he can find surgeons willing to perform what he wants completed.

10. Pet Plastic Surgery. It’s not just people that are getting weird plastic surgery. It’s also pets. Yep, there are pet owners out there who think that a doggy face lift is exactly what their pooch needs to be perfect. Apparently some of these procedures are justified as medically necessary. Generally these tend to be procedures in which the folds of the animal’s skin are removed or tightened up (similar to a face lift or eye lift surgery) which makes it easier for the owner to keep the pet clean. I don’t think that I’m buying that it’s necessary, though. What do you think?

cyber infidelity




http://edwardkarani.blogspot.com/2009/03/waking-up-to-cyber-infidelity.html



Gone are the days when a would-be-cheater had to physically leave home to seek out someone with whom to have an affair. Now it can all be done in cyberspace without the risk of running into family members, nosy neighbors, or inquisitive friends and workmates. With a few clicks of the mouse, a potential cheater has instant access to an endless array of willing partners. A cyber affair can be easily initiated and conducted from the privacy of your home, with your unsuspecting spouse or significant other in the same room, oblivious to what is going on.

Cyber affairs are actually a form of emotional infidelity. Although in the early stages, there’s no sex involved, most emotional infidelity eventually leads to sexual infidelity if left unchecked . But men and women view cyber affairs very differently. Most men don’t consider cyber affairs as cheating. However women view them quite differently. A survey in Divorce Magazine found that only 46 percent of men considered intense internet relationships to be infidelity, compared to 72 percent of women. Do you think cyber infidelity is cheating or just a bit of on line fun.

Good gangster bad gangsta


http://www.thekraytwins.com/
What is our great fascination with gangsters . I myself am a huge Kray fan at the tender age of eleven I read my first autobiography and have been reading about them ever since. Why do certain types of criminals intrigue us and others repel us . We see the Krays as "decent" criminal who only hurt the "bad " people . The amount of times I've heard the saying " you live by the sword , you die by the sword ". What is the difference . I mean yes the Krays where portrayed as gentleman but still they where killers , professionals in violence. As I keep saying through my blog it seems that society governs what is wrong or right regardless of it being legal or not.

taboo tatoos


http://www.bizarremag.com/
While trying to find some thing to write about for the blog on tattoos I came across an article in a magazine called bizarre that featured a story on a tattoo artist who was so sick of tattoos that had become mainstream , he started inking people with all sorts of controversial art. It is interesting to see how far tattoos have come over the years , only 20 years ago it was a very different story. I remember when women where judged for having tattoos and how certain tattoos meant different things . I remember men who had gone to prison had borstal spots and women had rose tattoos on their breasts where deemed easy. Thankfully things have changed a lot over the years and anyone can express them self the way they want . Tattoos have became big business as well with the help of celebs and tattoo documentaries like London ink . I myself love tats I see them as self expression , but I wonder if I'd have felt so strongly 20 years ago .
