I do not think shoplifting is 'serious' but I do think it is wrong. But it is serious when we compare it to mugging an old lady as she is very vulnerable and it damages her heath in some cases it leads to death (very serious). Retailers should have the necessary security in place in order to prevent this type of crime and work alongside the police. Retailers have CCTV for a reason the main purpose is to use it for evidence.Retailers can claim for compensation so yes I certainly agree we the public end up suffering for a crime we never committed by paying for it.

"Smoking - Class Discussion"
Teleka said...
Well i am glad you quit smoking not only for your child but most importantly for yourself. I think its terrible when mothers smoke and contaminated the innocent unborn child and laugh without a care when you encourage them to stop. There are a vairety display of pictures which has cerainly put me off smoking i think i will show them to my family and friends it might do the trick to help them say no to their next drag.

Well smoking i know is no way good for any of us but it keeps those closest to us happy. If i had a choice to offer them a cigarette or withdraw it i know what i would do :-). but on a serious note smoking gives you bad breath, makes your hair smell, yellow teeth, stained tabacco fingers, a dry cough which makes you cringe, withdrawral symptoms and a really bad attitude not to mention short life to passive smokers.

Well at one point in my life I would have totally agreed with you but unless we've been in the situation ourself its easier said then done. Our emotions change and our outlook on dealing with difficult situations isn't as easy as it look especially judging from an outside point of view. I used to say 'I would never cheat' but as an old myth says 'never say never'. Its not so easy to break away from a relationship especially when you love the person and you have invested so much time to make it work. Once i'd read the article in the Guardian extract handout looking at it from the husband's point of view it made alot more sense to me how complicated it can be especially when children are involved. You asked if Infidelity was a sin, in biblical terms and under religious circumstances yes I believe it is a sin but I also believe it is human nature because were born into a sinful world so were bound to be tempted.

I don't particularly agree with the link on the signs of a cheating spouse, surly these are signs of insecurity more than cheating. My partner and I do the majority of these and as far as I know he is not cheating. Infidelity is not talking in online chat rooms or looking at porn. It is a more intimate and private matter where one or both spouses are cheating within physical proximity of eachother secretly. Flirting is fun and personally I think it is not a problem within online chat rooms its when people meet in real personal romes when it becomes a concern.

"How many people will come to your funeral"
Show Original Post
Teleka said...
Well personally i think how many people come to your funeral is not based on how good or how bad you've been. Its for those who remember you for what you have done and want to say a final good bye. Some hope we go to heaven and others spend it wondering if the person has gone to hell. But whats the difference and if there is no heaven and no hell then we all must remain ghosts. Well i don't know, but to me i think all who remember me will come to my funeral and those who don't know me will just come for the food. But who cares how many people will come to your funeral i think people only remember you when your dead so i may end up getting more visits when i'm having my funeral.haha

"Being Too Religous"
Teleka said...
I think the prayer was out of the ordinary and was neither good or bad. It felt really weird having a prayer at the beginning but i just went along with it. But then i became confused when he asked us our opinion of it as i was taking it seriously so i felt well out of context. It really did touch a few spots with everyone and opened up alot of arguments about religion. I don't think the lecture hall was the right place because i think it was more about scutinizing religion rather than accepting everyones choice of opinion. I also think it was very disrespectful to Jehover Whitness's regarding it as a cult and baseing the arguments around them. I don't think anyone has the right to call any religon a cult people should be left to decide for themselves.

"Plastic Surgery (Body Modification)"
Teleka said...
fWell t think this woman looks like a cartoon character and even they look better. I think alot of this plastic surgery has been set up by a marketin system of celebreties and is just gone out of hand. what happened to the good old days where women did everything in their power to stay natural. Ever since modern technology has come into place evrything has got out of hand. Instead of looking pretty these people are looking more like 'loony toons'.

"Profanity"
Teleka said...
Well the suggestion that swearing, shouting and all that dirty, bad-mannered gestures, words and behaviours are degrading our society so should be criminalised and evapourated from all public places and our vocabulary is certainly out of touch with reality. Whoever came up with that idea well is certainly playing god. If god couldn't stop us from sinning, who the hell is going to stop us from swearing if you see my point. Yes we know its bad but in what context people say bad things everyday but they don't always mean what they say literally. So If anything we should have a dictionary for slang or broken english. My point is different upbringings create different ideologies so how one person interprets offencive language is based on the life style he lives. If your well to do and never hear inproper words and live in say Cambridge then deciding to move to 'ghetto' an inner city area is really not a good idea unless your bankrupt. In this case the person would definely would have to change his whole perception and outlook on what words he will decide to use in order to survive.

"DRUGS"
Teleka said...
Well lets hope anyone who does try drugs is seriously put off by the experience and never dares to try it again. I agree that drugs turn your life upside down but it may not even be the drug that started it in the first place. It just takes one thing to trigger it off some examples could be an affair, loss of finances, increase of extreme wealth, boredom, depression, victims of abuse, social environment or some type of insecurities. The need for a quick fix to a better peace of mind and a way out seems to be the anwer for taking drugs. Its a shame because it just may have been offered to the person at that particular time, then its achance of you either like it or hate a bit like marmite.

"DRUGS"
Teleka said...
Well my argument is we all have a right to life under Article 2 of the European Convention on human rights so smoking just like drugs should be banned altogether. If i'm going to sue i should be able to sue while i'm alive just as nusarat said instead of holding our breath for a few seconds and then gasping for some air later as someone out there is selfish enough to just think of them self"
