FIFTY SHADES OF GREY

The topic on everybody's lips at the moment is the book "Fifty Shades of Grey". What is it about this book which is making it so popular among women? Is it the forbidden ? Maybe the fact it is giving them permission to legitimately read porn without feeling like they are doing something wrong. Men have always been able to read porn without judgement, if fact men who didn't read porn were considered strange. Women had to hide their porn between the pages of 'Womans Day'.
The book is graphic, titillating and has an almost addictive quality to it. Maybe we all have an edge of kinkiness within us, but because of societies expectations we withhold these urges.What woman wouldn't want Christian Grey to weave his sexual magic around her? Feminists say that this book has put the womens movement back fifty years, when in my opinion it has liberated women. Removing the taboo of porn for women.
Fifty Shades of Grey is essentially a fairy tale. Young college girl desired by rich, handsome entrepreneur who buys her beautiful gifts and bestows upon her sexual favours she has never in her wildest dreams conjured up in her academic college girl mind. Sounds like a best seller to me.....

STOP SLAUGHTERING THE WHALES

Today South Koreans announced that they were again going to slaughter whales in the name of "scientific research".Funnily enough, in the next breath they say whaling has been part of their culture for hundreds of years and is a tradition they want to continue, at least get your stories straight. They can come up with all the excuses in the world, the minke whale population has now increased, the whales are eating all the fish making it hard for fisherman to make a living, but none of these excuses make it right. What it all comes down to is greed. The South Koreans will be paid thousands of dollars for the whale meat they sell to restaurants throughout Asia, but because of the lack of demand for the meat, it will sit in freezers, so what is the point of it all? Japan and South Korea are not the only countries to kill whales. Norway and Iceland also partake in the slaughter of whales but because it occurs within their own waters it goes generally unnoticed. When are governments around the world going to stop worrying about  being politically correct and stand up to these countries killing the worlds whales. If it wasn't for the activists getting it out there preventing this barbaric killing, the whales would be even more endangered than they already are. The cruel way they are slaughtered is also an issue, many still alive when hauled aboard the ships. Who can forget the image of the whale giving birth as she was dragged aboard a Japanese whaling ship.
It breaks my heart seeing these gentle warm blooded animals being killed unnecessarily.The reason these countries continue to slaughter whales is greed and pride. Their pride will not let them back down and admit they are doing the wrong thing, they are afraid of losing face. Well "Get over it" you ARE doing the wrong thing....
