i forgot about breast cancer! response to that

ok so the poor woamn just wants advice from her ma and pa and all this stuff starts. i can understand why too. i guess not having real boobs is a drawback, but shes guaranteed to be less likely to die and she is willing to give them up. its interesting though because if there was no way to tell she had the gene thing for cancer like in her moms day her life would have been different. just like her mom said she didnt know and she got married and had kids and then got surgery. she doesnt want her daughter to miss out on Gods gifts. i mean its a mix of paranoia and precaution. she will still be able to have kids. she just cant give her nutrients to them.

it also reminds me of song of solomon by toni morrison. i guess im twisting the situation around a bit. in the book this weird woman gets pleasure form breast feedin her son so she feeds him that way till he's like 8! the point is that how bad can it be not do feed ur kids this way. the moms all like that was a big part of raising kids and how she enjoyed it so much. i was like eeeeww!!

it basically seemed that some people valued the womans life while others valued......eh.....uh.....? anyway they thought she should not get the surgery and keep herself at greater risk for the chance of raising kids "normally".

in the end it made me thank God that the cancer gene is not in my family...i know it sounds like im a selfish bum...but it reminds me theres always somthing to be thankful for.....8)

the last 1.......--->im a bad writier?

when i saw the options for this paper immediately i knew i wanted to write about the hsitory of these body modifications we talked about. i didnt know which ones nor how i would get enough info about any of them to write 4-6 pages

i talked to ms farrugia and she said how theres tons of info available on the origins of mnay of these practices we discussed. that was the good part. so i went to the library to find books. i found one on tattooing and its associating community, corsets and their origin and finally some random book on body modification practices today around the world. everything terribly interestng.

the worst part began: searching through the books trying to find things i could use, things that said where the practices came from, when they came to america and how we changed them as americans. number one: i suck at research. number two: i suck at researching, and number three: researching things is not my forte, especially in books. im having a great time learning about all these things but im having a terrible time writing the paper. and i dont want to ask ms farrugia for help because my topic is so vague shed end up making the topic for me. unfortuately im running out of time and im going to have to ask for her help if i cant get this done.

it doesnt help that im such a mediocre(bad spellers of the world untie!) writer

just figured id "vent" or whatever...hope no one reads this lol

response to liz

go her to se what im responding to

so i agree completely with lizs argument about meme crazy roth: she shouldnot be saying anything like the things shes saying if she wants anyone else to join her in the fight against obesity. i just want to know who told her she could talk like that....i mean if shes been moving up the ladder and getting on tv didnt anyone tell her how to behave?! i also agree with liz when she says the things she said in the video were juvenile. it was pathetic. i suck at public speaking and debates so the only thing i can think of is that she sucks too. she just ran out of things to say because of bad research or not enough of it so she just said whatever. if i went on tv and started bashing gays or anarexics and saying all i see when i see them is aids and diseases that result from anarexia you dont think people would throw a fit & curse me out, be on my door step with a bat for 2 days straight?! yea right. i understand my example is a bit extreme, but the point is she should know better. shes a grown behind woman for crying out loud.....what is this world coming to......

ill tell you...............................

an end!

p.s.-dont you love the morbid ending?

response to good-limb amputations

yea...as i said i dont know what to think of it. its just sooo unheard of...sooooo out of the norm of the majorital society (i might be making up words...) but me and my Christian values are always getting in the way of looking at situations objectively. i say God gave you that body with the right amount of limbs or not for a reason. if you were born with all your limbs it could be because youre meant to do something only a whole properly functioning body can do & talk to someone about something that can save their life and the lives of all their relatives. you say im a nutcase but anything can happen/ anything is possible. the point is if you get something amputated that rules you out for that amazing purpose of saving lives and God might find someone else to do it...or he might allow those people to be lost because you were the only one He chose for that purpose...it seems hard to understand for people who dont believe in Him. i guess in that way its a sin because were accusing God of making a mistake when he made us. i know its psycological but there has to be a root where all this type of thinking begins......im frustrated

better response to visibly queer

i just have a quick question: it says that some guy said that homosexuals have 2 spirits ....and that straight people only have 1/2?!?!?!? what is this bafoonery?!?!? even if i wasnt a Christian... thats demeaning to me. whats he trying to say: youre not whole if youre straight!? or if youre not straight your better off?!? why does one need 2 spirits ANYWAY!?!?!?!? as you may be able to tell im a little p.o.ed. its all good though because ill never meet this man...even if i did i wouldnt say/do anything to him.. i would just ...i dont know...it just makes me mad because people are always saying how homosexuals etc are looked down on and treated differently....WAY TO STOOP TO "OUR LEVEL"!!!!!! technically speaking you could argue that its their turn to vent because of all the discrimination etc....but thats what i look down upon....it so immature....but w/e im just andgry i guess...

rsponse to danielle

im reponding to danielles thing....

so she saying its up to them what they want to do with their bodies.....this is where im different...again. i guess almost everyone would agree with danielle, but i guess i cant just because i worry about people too much. i know what happens at the end of this life and its a tragic ending for many people because of the things we do in this life. im not saying anyone is perfect and i know im far from perfect, not am i saying putting silicone in your body is a sin and that you go to hell for it. i just dont know whether you can go to hell for it or not, thats why i just advise against it. it sound crazy but if people want to be complete and fill voids and what not God want to do it - hes the ultimate void filler upper. whats more, whether all this stuff is "sin" or not if someone does it and theyre still looking for completion...GOD IS STILL THERE!!! im not trying to convert people im just sayin try Him out...

but on a lighter note...
if thats the way they want to go about finding completion it is obviously up to them: im not gonna go up to someone and stop them mid-surgery.....thats foolishness...it is interesting to see how far/fast technology has taken us..the best part is this has been happening in the US and i never even knew!! it could be that im just slow and not up on current events...............

response to the vicky one

yea so i'm not used to these kinds of discussions mainly because people usually avoid talking about homosexuals/transgender etc. around me...they kno itll end badly. i guess i can tell you why, considering i can write about anything i want: as a Christian, i firmly am against homosexuality and all the things this piece is about, basically. (people are usually fuming by now.) i am a believer in the Bible because its God's Word....im willing to talk about any of these things if you want to! anyway it says in the Bible that these practices are strictly prohibited because they were done by pagan nations...this is hard to understand if you dont see anything wrong with other religions. the bottom line is God made us the way we were supposed to be made...He made no mistakes b/c Hes God. people who "change" genders are decieved by the devil into thinking they were made wrong. in that ways its just like every other temptation: we have to resist....i obviously could go on and on and on and on....but i wont

im supposed to be talking about the piece in this response...its a good writing structure....she took a lot of quotes and made it seem we were talking directly to the person in that respect....sorry if it seems im blowing it off..........*ill finish this sentence one day*
