Other - Society & Culture - 24 January 2007

Open up any newspaper, magazine, television channel, internet or watch any mainstream movie. The quantum of sexual content is creeping up by the minute. Why are people so obsessed with nudity & sex thereby making it an essential ingredient to sell anything ranging from clothes, electronic goods, cars, FMCG & what not!

It sometimes feels as if we humans simply can't handle issues like sexuality & are always in conflict with our sexual desires. Where lies the solution?

Where are we headed? Are we headed towards social acceptance of Nudism? If all of us were to start living naked, there will be no need for stuff like Playboy & all but where would that lead us to? Open-marriages, free sex ? But will it satisfy society's obsession with sex or further aggravate it like an alcoholic who is always game for more.......

Most people sort of live on an emotional plateau with some variation. They have their occasional happy days and days of saddness, but mostly just "Blah" days.

Do any of you have ZERO sad days and only happy days? If so, what is the motivation?

- I was just wondering, how people seemed to turn out that you went to high school with. Like, how did the more obnoxious, bullies turn out? Were they successful or working at TGI Fridays? Did anyone turn out to be the more successful doctor type? What was it like?

What are the positive and negative implications, what is our future, will the desire for taboo things of any sort do to our economy, our culture, the world.
Is it possible that in 100 years we will have world peace? Is it possible with or without the taboo in thoughts we be better off as a world? Fell free to add any of your own views or questions.
What should be removed from the market what should be added? Remember natural is healthier in the long run also short term
If you could what would you change? In addition, why?
Is it okay for others to do drugs when it has no effect on any won but them or should we live in a strict society?
Do you agree with the fact we do not have our constitutional rights, as long as political correctness remains.

Over drinks last night we were talking about OJ. My friend Gina and I said he was TOTALLY guilty but everybody else said he wasn't. One of the girl's bf said we felt that way because we're whitebread and we were like, no we feel that way because he's a cold blooded murderer (but we WERE the only white girls in the club). I told all my friends that I would ask here so we could talk about it again next week (over a lot more drinks :-) )

So I'd like to hear from people of all races:

1) Do you think OJ do it?

2) Do you think white people are more likely to think he did it?

3) Do you think the black community gives him the benefit of the doubt?

4) Why?

Tonight, I picked up a few groceries from Wal-Mart. I noticed the woman in front of me was only using a little bit of the register belt to put her groceries on although her cart was full. She had two young children that she appeared to be distracted by although they were behaving pretty well. As I watched, I realized she was taking the bagged groceries and putting them in the half full cart. She was able to cover up meats and other fairly flat items while cheaper things on the belt. Her husband came up and distracted her again and then sent her to the car. I would not have thought so much about it except he took out such a scant amount of cash to pay for a full cart and the bottom of the cart being full. As he started to walk away, the cashier caught it and made him wait. (I think she saw me looking at the cart.) She asked him to leave the items on the bottom which she had not checked out--but he quickly removed them before she could look closely at the cart

I am a student from a Middle School and there are lots of sexy, hot, cute teenagers whom I don't know much about are scoring below 60% in their examinations! I saw their marks when I was giving out their test papers. It kind of surprised me but after seeing how they just seem to careless and continue to chatter away about their clothes, make-up, etc..boy, I was really shocked!

Some of my friends who are physically plump, have a pretty face and are smart aren't accepted because they are not cool enough or just not sexy enough for them. I belong in the middle because I don't show my body and I am the Top Student of the Year.

The kids who aren't good-looking but are super nice inside aren't accepted at all not even a single bit!

I am not asking you this question because I am not popular, it is due to the dissappointing facts which are taking place in almost every school.

Why? Oh, why..is the look on the outside is more vital then the inside? Beauty is winning too..why?
