Well I think its really time now to seriously consider building an ark!!!.
The water is still flowing here in wales but its much much worse in other areas of the country and my thoughts are with them.
Went to the Pub last night and put the world to rights with a group of friends. conversations ranged from the role of religion in the problems of the world to the right way to go for a pee in the woods when camping............Eclectic is the word I think.
one of the main topics of conversation was the reluctance of people in general to accept responsiblity for any of their actions. There seems to be a culture of Right over responsiblity.
We want the right to be anything we want and do what we want with our lives but the weight of responsiblity seems to be to much to bear.
Examples include Schools being told to educate children in the moral aspects of life because the parents of said children are deemed to be unable to do it. Well surely its their job!! The woman recently who sued a school for not educating her child sexually resulting in the child becoming pregnant ....................am I missing something.................What happened to the responsibility of the parent to turn out rounded well developed offspring!!!!
Personally as a parent I take Joy in the fact that my daughter is independant, well mannered, sexually informed and has a high sense of personal worth .............She is 16 and I have no doubt in years to come will embark on a sexual relationship but at that point she will have been educated in the physical, psychological and socialogical aspects of sex.
The main problem I think with sex in the culture at the moment is that it has been turned into a selling tool for everything from cars to Shampoo...........................and its all Female sexuality............you very rarely see male sexuality displayed in the way that female is.
I dont think that the shampoo advert for organics would work with a guy coming all over the telly do you???
So what we tell our girls is that its ok to use your sex for gain.................to sell anything.............including themselves...........
Instead of making sex sacred. beautiful and something to be proud of, we denigrate it, demean it and make its somehting to be scared, and ashamed of
Sad really

Again, youre definately right. IM a very sexual person but even im finding the constant bombardment of sex in adverts, programs and worst of all music videos to be a bit too much. Im suprised that the Porn channels havent started sueing as theres hardly any point in people paying to watch porn on TV now when its on every other channel anyway!
Whats just occured to me though is that a lot of the adverts that use it are selling products aimed at women and bought by women. i mean do people really think that just because the woman on tv has an orgasm each time she washes her hair that it will happen to them? The venus razor adverts are just the same, The girls prancing down the beach dont look old enough to be shaving let alone worrying about if their new quadrupple bladed razor is now in girly pink..
"reveal the goddess in you!"
well today my inner goddess is stubbly and im just fine with that
*lol*
