Religion
Sharni said...
I agree with what your saying, although i dont believe religion is a mad thing. In some aspects its good, as most types of religion keep people grounded and believing not just in their faith, but also themselves. Although im not religious, im a believer in god. But i too most definatly hate when religion is pushed on to you, as the decision to adapt a religion should soley depend on the individual. Do i believe in religion or science? Im undecided, is impossible to believ in both.05 May 2007 07:45

Drugs
Sharni said...
You have made some very honest points, in my opinion. The drug industry is a major money making industry, but then why would it not be. Like Lee clearly stated, where there is a high demand there is always money to be made. However I would like to note, that drug dealing shouldn’t be promoted. Why should we allow such service to be conduced with society, when we should really be helping those people and not encouraging it? If drug dealing stopped on the streets, then maybe addicts would more likely go about seeking help. It’s true that drug dealing pays well, but let’s be honest if u add up the amount of hours you have to stay on the streets to get that £10, you might as well have a job; and those who make a lot on a daily basis crnt exactly do anything constructive with it. In my opinion, it’s not worth it; you either end up behind bars, looking over your shoulder the rest of your life or unfortunately on your own supply. The majority of people in my area are dealers and mainly because they want to work for themselves or someone they respect and look up to. However drug dealers are not bad people, there just out for making money like everyone else, by a different means….

Swearing
Sharni said...
I share the same frame of mind, about swearing. However I think it’s fair to say, those that do swear are often the ones who’s household, allows such words to be exercised. And now within today’s society, it’s not just to be used in the presence of ones home, but also in school and society… It’s true, there are more appropriate words to use, but when one only knows how to do so using swear words, what do you expect. I can recall the days when parents would threaten to wash your mouth out with soap and water for “swearing”, now it’s a common expectation... Where have the boundaries gone? We best not go any furthers………….One may argue its there freedom of expression and we wouldn’t want to violate anyone’s human rights now.

Smacking
Sharni said...
I totally agree with Adonis and where hes took his point of view from. I was also disaplined through out my childhood and as a result have come to learn that every action causes a reaction. As my mum always says "only you are responsible for what you do and nobody else". Adonis's refrence to the notion of fear from a parent, is also correct; it puts forth an authority figure whos job is to correct their childs behaviour. "Learning starts within the home", correcting behaviour within the home will lead to good conduct outside, in a social environment. "Learn to dance a yard before you dance abroad", a Jamaican saying which means the primaray place for learning and correction has to take place in the home in order to conduct themselves in a fashionable manner within society.

Self-harm
Sharni said...
I understand where you are coming from, but I still regard self- harm as an act of attention. You stated that those who do so, are trying to say something is wrong. But isn’t it best to verbally tell someone, rather than physically harm yourself. I cannot see how self- harm, can be a means of making yourself feel better, when you have not confronted the problem. My old high school friend use to do this and I put it down to attention seeking; as she would often tell and show everybody what she had done to herself. She got people’s attention and sympathy, and soon became centre of attention. Self- harm is dangerous and irresponsible and a cry for attention. If you are not willing to help yourself face your problems, then how can others help you?
