Religion and politics aside, Osama wasn´t/isn´t a person who deserves to live after what he did (my opinion) and if he is really dead, i´m not going to go round hosting a street party but I can honestly say good riddance. As much as I apose the "eye for an eye" statement, I would be lying if I said that if I was personally effected by his actions or even some general criminal (i.e. someone shot my relative) I wouldn´t want justice served just as bitter.

 

For the US government to decide whether we should see the photos or not because they are "too graphic" shouldn´t be up to them. In my opinion it should be up to the public because after all it´s the public that has been affected so much by Osama´s actions. They want proof and, as someone stated before, closure. In some cases I´m sure that some of the people that were effected (losing a loved one) wouldn´t just want to see those pictures but wouldn´t refrain from wanting to be the person to inflict those injuries upon him in the first place.

I love the way they say it´s too gruesome/graphic yet if I remember correctly we saw the personal hanging of Saddam Hussein LIVE! and it might not be the same type of graphic but watching the 9/11 being shown on every news channel whilst the camera´s got a close up of people jumping out of windows to their own deaths is definitely a sight I would call graphic.

So much for the freedom of information Act...

Quoting Daydreamer

Busyb - I hope you don´t mind me asking, but why are you saying you´re not being a feminist as if it was something bad? I´ve often wondered why women are so afraid of this word. According to the Oxford Dictionary, feminism is:

 

the advocacy of women´s rights on the ground of the equality of the sexes

 

So, the way I see it, if you believe that men and women should have equal rights, you are a feminist. It Does not require you to be a member of the movement portrayed as a bunch of bald-shaven lesbians hating or wanting to castrate men. I love men and at the same time I think they´re no better or worse than women as a general rule. Hence I call myself a feminist.

 

Yes I´m aware of what it means, but there are others that don´t and for that reason or just "because" they argue about being mad feminists or that i´m saying it´s men´s fault which is an avenue I really can´t be bothered to go down. Especially when it get´s nowhere

I agree with a lot of comments on here, and I must admit, the comment about the master key that opens all locks made me laugh (though I don´t agree with life in that way).

And I suppose it does go back years and years where women were treated unfairly. From being burned/drowned etc as witches (though some men were but not nearly as much as women). From women not allowed to wear the trousers, to not being allowed to vote, or not allowed to go down certain career paths, or even being paid differently in a job. It really is a man´s world when you think about it. And I´m not being feminist by making this comment, it´s just the way it is. Which is a shame, because when given a chance when being told you can´t do something, that person (in general) seems to shine brighter at it.

There are several films that I love but the few that I can think of right now that I also do not tire of watching are:

Shawshank redemption

The Green mile

 

I would jump on the drink subject too but seeing as I am not allowed to drink at the moment I think I´ll stay quiet {#emotions_dlg.sad}

Due to the fact that more and more teenagers/children are "experimenting" The question it comes down to is this, would you rather them safely doing so or dangerously doing so? As much as I don´t like to admit it, it´s got to the point (and gone past it!) a long time ago that more teenage girls are getting pregnant (and then usually left to defend for themselves) or either teenager has caught some STD at least once.

 

Why is it though, girls who sleep around are known as "sluts/whores" where as with guys it seems to boost there egos and makes them more of a "man"? It´s something I´ve never quite understood. In my eyes, they are both as bad as each other, after all, it takes two to tango

I would go absolutely crazy!!  {#emotions_dlg.you_crazy}

 

 I would like to experience it for a short about of time, to see how people go about their daily lives etc but I wouldn´t want to do it for four months and certainly not four months for every year for the rest of my life. Sod that, I´d move!
