Comment on Shane Smiths blog on Tattoos and Body Modification.

After reading Shane Smiths blog on tattoos, it makes me wonder as to how some people enjoy the pleasure of pain.

I feel the sharpest pain when I stick myself with a needle and when I have to have an injection So I cant possibly see myself in having a tattoo for the reason that it is uneccessary pain.

Just like Shane I didn't see that cutting toe nails or hair as being a part of body modification.

i believe in growing old gracefully and being satisfied with the way we were born. But if I had to have any type of surgery, I think I may would just have the perfect body where i didn't need to work out to stay fit slim and healthy as it is too much hard work.

If I was to have surgery

Bandits

Famous Bandit.

There are many stories of bandits, there are the good, (if you think it was good to rob from the rich, as maybe they were only rich through immoral earnings), or ones who rob form the rich and give to the poor (such as the very famous ROBIN hood). There are some who rob from the rich and keep it for themselves.

Legend outlaw Jessee James was one of those in the James - Young gang who was supposed to have robbed from the rich and give to the poor. But research shows that he and his gang only distributed the riches they stole amongst the gang where only they had flourished.

Jesse James grew up during the time of the time of the civil war. He derived from a broken home, his father who was an intelligent minister died when he was two and his mother married twice by the time he was 8 years old.

After the civil war many places were destroyed, he tried to help restore his family financially by robbing banks with the James - Young gang along with his brother. Many banks had foreclosed on land owners who could not pay their mortgages during the war years. Jesse James was reported to be the brains behind the bank robberies and identified himself with each of the banks before taking an interest in the money behind the counter.

His pledge to robbing banks cannot justify it being imprudent. It is also dangerous and unhealthy as people had lost their lives and immoral as people should earn their money regardless of having a bad start in life.

Comments on Yasmin Stevens Blogs

In Response to Yasmin Stevens blog, it is very heart rendering on how and why people could have the mind, thought and the audacity to hurt innocent children.

There is no justifiable reason to hurt children. On her thoughts that people like these should be circumcised from birth is unreasonable, because even though Yasmin is right in some ways, I don't think that these evil sinister individuals have those thoughts from birth and those monsters wont be singled out until they acrtually commit the offence.

I just think that the law should bring back hanging alsthough it wont solve the problems of the victim who are the children.

People like them should not be entitled to legal aid or be entitled to a solicitor and should stand and speak for themselves in the court of law. Then get sentenced to hanging on the same day through the media.

This would save room in prisons, government money and get rid of environmental pollution.


This offence is most definitely immoral, dangerous, unhealthy and imprudent.

Comment on Laura Cole on Infidelity.

After reading this blog I can help but think that Laura is inspired by an ideal world.

Of people were to sit down and talk about problems in relationships then may be there would be no such thing as infidelity.

But at the same time some people, infidelity is committed when there is nothing wrong with their relationship, some people are just curious as to what they may be missing out on.


www.iwantanaffair.net

The definitions of infidelity can vary from other peoples perspectives and opinions. What one person may say is infidelity, another person can accept from kissing, to full blown sex with someone else other than your spouse or you partner.

Although some people may stray because they are very unhappy at home and think that an affair can justify their means of being unhappy, akl it does is reate a whole bunch of problems.

On the other hand some people enjoy the excitement of having and affair but will only be sorry when they get caught

Kids:

After reading Shane Smiths comment on the Kids Film, it sent shivers down my spine to read that one of the characters had committed suicide.

To me this makes me view the film to be a little bit more immoral with the under age sex and drinking, imprudent hardly anybody was friendly with each other, unhealthy with all the drugs and smoking especially the part where the mum was breast feeding her baby and smoking at the same time, and dangerous, the unsettling scene where the gang had beaten up the boy at the skating park. The worst part was when someone struck him with the skateboard.

As well as it being distasteful, it makes me think to myself what kind of person would want to direct a film about underage sex, drugs and the main character getting a buzz from sleeping with virgins, did he have a unhappy childhood and did he grow up surrounded by any of these.



Was born in Tulsa, Oklahoma (1943), graduated from Central High school in Tulsa, Oklahoma. Attended Layton School of Art in Milwaukee, Wisconsin. Studied under Walter Sheffer and Gerard Bakker. As well as directing the film Kids, he also had a photographic body of work, including the books Tulsa (1971), Teenage Lust (1982), and Perfect Childhood (1992).


Apart from getting into and argument in a restaurant where had got into a fight, in contrast, he influenced many filmmakers and film from his book Tulsa.
Not a man I would be start struck to meet.

Tattoos,

This lecture on tattoos really opened my eyes to the beauty, relevance and respect tattoos and having them.

I must say that I was oblivious as to how sacred the art of tattoos are.

I do not were a tattoo myself as I think it is unnecessary pain to put yourself through just for vanity. But had I been living in tribal times I don't think i would have a choice.

The lecture opened my eyes to realising that many people symbolise tattoos without realising that it may offend people who wear them as a part of the formation of their lifestyle.


The Maori, designed their faces not for fashion but as a symbol of a lifetime which can say more that words can express. They mark a symbol of life.

http://www.tribal-celtic-tattoo.com/tribal-history.htm

the word tattoo is said to has two major derivations- from the Polynesian word ‘ta’ which means striking something and the Tahitians word ‘ta tau’ which means ‘to mark something’.

http://www.designboom.com/history/tattoo_history.html

The history of tattoos dates back over 5,000 years ago and marked the symbol of life for different tribes all over the world from countries including Africa, India, Indonesia, Thailand and Ancient Greece and Rome, the Celts and England.

These countries represented styles and formation of tattoos to symbolise .

Many of them have different types of styles, colours and rituals.


http://www.designboom.com/history/tattoo_history.html



The Chinese adopted the form around 2,000 B.C. The body of a primitive man found frozen in the Swiss mountains dated to 2000 years ago had multiple tattoos on him. The practice of making permanent marks into the skin with pigment has been found at some point in nearly every major culture in history.

Kids (the Film)



Spooky!



After watching the film yesterday it made me wonder why it was shown and what relevance it had on the module.



In many parts of the film it was immoral definitely, unhealthy for real, imprudent you got that right and it was very



As there were many parts of it that was breaking the law, I don't see how it was a part of being bad.



There was disturbing violence, underage drinking, under age sex which were all law breaking activities.



I don't think I learned anything from the film, it was like not other film I have seen, I don't know what audience the film was aimed at, and I don't think it portrayed teenagers very good.



If teenagers behave in this way, then society is in for a disturbing, violent and sad times ahead.



The story line was set in the day in the life of teenagers in New York City, with contents of drug, sex and violence, very dirty and untidy houses, lots of swearing and a flimsy conclusion.



The film had caused a lot of controversy amongst people.



It is a film I would not want to see again or found any relevance as to why it was even released.



I think it would have been better if we had watched Bugsy Malone.

Masturbation 2

Week 6



Masturbation (2).



As masturbation is a very personal procedure which can be done individually, it is a reason why it can be very embarrassing to get caught in the action.



The case may be because nobody one really wants anyone to know that they do it, it can also be the reason may be that be caught in an intimate situation.
