"did you drunk dial me last night? haha awesome!!!"
i have only lived three years of my awesome life in the US but why is it that drinking, getting drunk is somehow the norm.
my logic is that it is because of the stigma people place on drinking that influences these bad habits. I mean when you look at countries that have less stringent drinking laws the number of drink related accidents is relatively lower, the prevalence of alcoholism is relatively lower, drink related crime s also low.
which brings to mind the era of the prohibition, not only did gang related crime and smuggling increase, the consumption of alcohol also increased. flashback "the forbidden fruit"
i think there is something innate in us that attracts most humans to things that are considered taboos. I mean you watch tv and are bombarded by commercials of condoms, practising safe sex, in churches they drum abstinence into your head and what happens, a lot of girls who end up pregnant grew up in the church, does this mean that she didnt learn anything in the church, no i dont think so, i just think that whenever doing something is given a stigma of taboo, people practising it and not thinking of the repercussions increase.
i am anglican never in church have heard a sermon that smoking or drinking are sins, it usually is along the lines of tthey are bad for your health but when i go to pentecostal churches like the ones in the US they say smoking and drinking are sins....sreeeeech
rewind, where is that in the ten commandments?
im not a fan of smoking, simply because i dont find it attractive, and my grandfather had some sort of throat infection before he died, he pretty much croaked for a year and change before God eased his pain. so yes smoking is bad for your health but calling it a sin....omigosh
drinking on the other hand, i dont understand why it is a sin, Jesus turned water into wine for his mother...if it was a sin...dont you think his mom would have known after all it was her righteousness that made God choose her to bear his only begotten son.
why cant society stop telling us the hings we should so and shouldnt do, the thigs we should wear and not wear, the places we should go and not go? why cant we all just live by the golden rule do to others as you would have them do unto you.
for example (mind you i have nothing against fat people) those fat girls who dress up and have all their guts hanging...disgusting, humans should not be subjected to seeing that, which is why i dont show off my guts even though i am what society refers to as underweight...not only is it unattractive, it doesnt show any self respect in the ladies who dress that way....
i'm going to leave of here when i get back from my exam i'll do more writing.
cheers
