Before I begin my little verbal escapade, I want to make it clear, that I have NOTHING against Muslims. I may not agree with their religion, however I do not hate them.
So I read a little news story a little while ago about how a little scuffle between and atheist and a muslim took place, made it's way to the courtroom, but ended up taking a religious ruling in the end.
Wait.... a religious based ruling...?
When did american courts allow religious based rulings in their court rooms?
Basically the story goes, and atheist dresses as a zombie Muhammad in a halloween parade, a muslim gets mad, chokes him and tries to rip his costume off, and follows him for a few blocks. The atheist reports this to a police officer, and they get sent to court. In court, the judge makes lets them go, after giving the atheist a lecture in muslim culture. What in the hell was the judge doing giving the atheist crap and sending them on their way for??
America is a place of free speech and freedom of religion. It was Halloween as well. If this muslim character is going to emigrate to a country such as america, he should have taken the time to learn the customs of america as well as the laws. In america you can't go around assaulting people because they are dressed up like someone you worship. In america, laws are supposedly based around the constitution, not on religious beliefs. For the judge to give a ruling to the atheist saying it was his fault that he aggravated the muslim into attacking him because he was dressed up, in the american court of law, was out of line. Was the atheist out of line? Possibly. He dressed up knowing he could possibly offend someone. However, to cause physical violence is more wrong. The atheist even said he has received death threats from muslim extremists saying that if he were in an Islamic country, he would have been hung infront of his family. Well that's great. But guess what, he's not in an Islamic country now is he? According to these muslim extremists, if you broke their religious laws in their country, you can publicly be put to death. That I find sickening and a little extreme. But like I said before, he is not there, he is in America. Now if this muslim is in America, he should be tried like an American. Their rules are not our rules and in the American court of law, the muslim court of law should not be used. http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2012/02/27/pennsylvania-judge-musim-zombie-muhammad_n_1304764.html?1330380440
To Sex, or Not to Sex, a question many of us hardly think about while with our partners. In today's society (western culture), a thought is hardly given as soon as hormones start to flow and the blood goes down south. Most of us grab a condom (if safe sex is practised) and head to the nearest private location to get a sexy sweat on.
But how would one feel if they're birth control wasn't as effective as they thought? Generally we women take birth control to prevent pregnancies that are unwanted as our busy lives are just too much in the way for children, especially surprise ones.
Recently Pfizer recalled their birth control for having the pills 'out of order'. Generally the way the birth control pills work, is each color has a certain amount of synthetic hormones which prevent a woman's body from becoming pregnant. This however wasn't the case for a small batch of about 30 packs of birth control. What I had originally heard is that there were pills with levels of either too high or too low of these hormones causing a woman's system to fall out of balance resulting in possible pregnancy. However with a bit of digging for myself, I found that it wasn't the pills themselves, it was a packaging mishap. Many of the different colored pills were packaged into the wrong spot, filling the packages with either too many or too little active tablets. Most people would notice this and contact their pharmacy.
Unfortunately, it opened the doors for lawsuits, as it is possible that some women might just not be smart enough to distinguish between the different colors of the tablets.
Recently I was watching a video from the Youtube channel SourceFed,
(Video below)
an informative channel who update on news as it's happening or just what interests them. At the end of each video they ask for people to leave their opinions. Of course, I had to leave mine.
First of all, if these women are taking birth control, it is ALWAYS recommended that a second form of birth control (ie. condoms) be used for extra protection, as birth control is only up to 99% effective. In other words, 1-2 women become pregnant even if the pill is used correctly.
Now what I believe is that sex is a choice. Women are not forced to have sex with their partners, and if they choose to have sex they HAVE to understand the purposes for sex. Being human, we understand it as being a passionate, emotional and beautiful physical experience that leaves our toes curled and breath taken away, but on the biological side, sex is for reproduction. It may relieve stress and give us endorphins to take pains away, but in the end, it's for having babies and it's sad to see that so many people today tend to forget it's intended purpose. Why sad? Because when that purpose is forgotten, and suddenly an innocent child starts growing in a women's womb, the first thing most women think is "o shit", next they find someone to blame. It's devastating when these women's actions lead to an abortion, the murder of a perfectly innocent child that they were too careless to think about firstly, but instead thought about how wonderful it feels to have his dick ramming them leaving them screaming for a blissful hormone filled finish.
When more than one-third of the approximately 205 million pregnancies that occur world wide are unintended, about 20% of them end in induced abortion. (2005) That's alot of unintended pregnancies because of one thing: sex.
Birth controls are for prevention, meaning they only prevent pregnancies from happening. Sex is for reproduction. I had initially said on this video comment that abstinence is 100%. Some people began to argue with my opinion of abstinence, saying "well it's not fun to be intimate with a virgin", and "what about married couples that don't want to have children?" I was even asked if I was a Christian, and if I wasn't why would I say such a thing as, "don't have sex if you don't want to have children".
Regardless if I was a Christian or not, I would still preach the same thing basically and bluntly: If you don't want the possibility of children, do not have sex.
As safe as you think it might be, abstinence is 100%. Birth control is 99%. You do the math.
As for married couples, it may be a bit more difficult as the original intended purpose is to be able to be in a stable relationship and financially, emotionally and physically prepared for children, and be able to share intimacy. I was arguing with a woman in particular about this, as she had originally brought the topic of marriage up. In response I suggested alternative birth controls like a tubal ligation, or a vasectomy. She argued that she wanted her tubes removed however they only tied them for her, and that vasectomy's were not fully effective either. It's understandable that both procedures, although more risky as they do involve surgery, and are not always fully effective. However they are more effective than birth controls such as the pill or condom. With both procedures, only about 2 of 1000 women become pregnant with their partner, making it 10x more effective than birth controls we use off of the shelf. However if they still do not want children, they could either take a risk and have sex, or practice abstinence, to which she responded "this conversation is pointless" and "yea, intimacy with a virgin is a real go getter".
But really, what other choice is there? When a couple has sex they risk the chance of getting pregnant, whether is 2 out of 100 or 2 out of 1000, (doubling birth controls make it more effective yet), there's always that chance. For teens and young adults; if they are not ready to have a child then sex should be withheld until a future time ( in which the purpose of copulating is fully understood, and the maturity is there in order to be able to support the child. For a married couple; if the topic of having more children is sickening, take every precaution, limit sex, or just stop. It might be hard but what's more important? Having sex or having unwanted children?
I'm not making out to be some sort of abstinence freak, as sex is a very enjoyable, intimate and bonding experience between a couple, especially for those who are married. But the reality is, birth control is a preventative, abstinence is the only true completely effective birth control yet. So until pharmaceutical companies can come up with something just as good as abstinence, think twice before you let the good times roll.
If you're not OK with pushing it out, be wary when you stick it in.
What do you think blogging type world?
What's your opinion on the whole mess?
Feel free to leave a comment, share a story, or argue with me.
All opinions are welcome!
I'm new to this whole blogging thing. I've never really been one to share my emotions and underlying thoughts, however I have always been one to share my opinions (especially over the internet). Unfortunately I spend endless hours sharing opinions (aka. arguing) over the internet, so I thought I would take my thoughts on such dynamic topics and turn it into a blog. That should be fun and productive right? I sure hope so!
So everyone, here's a question:
What are some tips and tricks that help you blog your life away on the internet?
I'd really like to hear from you,
Catcha Later!
