I get the impression ((not saying it is an actual opinion of anyone on either side, just an impression I get)) that a woman ((or anyone for that matter)) can do whatever she likes to her body as long as no one else is harmed ((bodily)) in the process.

If that is the case then how do you feel about self-harm, drugs ((from weed to speed...ooh I rhymed)), alcohol and pomiscuous sex for men and homosexuals...or women who are physicly unable to get pregnant?

Also, if someone came to you for help with side effects from one of these activities would you help or say "you're mistake, you deal with it"? Asking this of everyone...

As for me...all natural drugs ((that's the stuff that has not been refined to hell and had stuff added to it...smack etc...)) I have no problem with.

Self-harm. All depends on the reasoning. You do it because you like the rush, to relieve the pressure...well in some ways I see it as being better than surpressant medication...and in some ways the same as runners who run for the adreniline, parachute jumpers, rock climbers and white water rafters ((and so on)). You doing it to get attention, you need help.

Alcohol; I drink, I'm a student what do you expect sweatdrop The people who should not drink are violent or depressive drunks.

Promiscuous sex; whatever floats your boat luv...it's not the promiscuouity, it's the not being careful about who you're promiscuous with. I've known some real sluts ((both male and female, gay and straight)) some were careful about who they slept with and what they did, some others were not.

As for helping; I'll help any creature that comes to me for help ((except some world leaders, politicians and business men Bush, Blair, Kilroy, Esso chariman...))

Did I ramble enough yet mommy?

I'd just like to say that personally I'm Straight Edge, so no one gets the wrong idea here.

Alcohol: As long as you aren't driving, or around me, whatever.

Weed: I've seen people go down bad paths starting with this. I don't have a problem with the drug itself, it's the fact that although it's illegal people still do it. Sure if you want to do it, fight to make it legal but I don't think people should be doing it while it's illegal.

Hard Drugs: As funny as it is to listen to your friends when they're hopped up on really hard drugs, or after a weekend of them ("This weekend, while I was on Meth, I realized why we have war.") these are wishy-washy. Some of them make people uncontrolable and can lead to violent tendancies. These I have a problem with because other people could get hurt.

Plus some, like Ectasy are really un reliable. You don't know how they're made and stuff, one pill can kill you, or you could take 10 and be fine. It depends on what the person desides to put in it.

Promiscuous Sex: Kinda gross, no matter who is doing it. But whatever flips your skirt I guess.

Self-Harm: If I knew someone who was hurting themself I would go to their parent, or a doctor or someone who could help. No matter what the situation there are always better ways to deal with pain and stuff.

I'd be one of those people who would say "You made yourself this way, now you fix it." They can go to a help-group, detoxification place, or whatever. I'm not going to take away your choice of what you do, but it's your fault you did it. Doing drugs is not in the human nature, and it's bad for you, so do it at your own risk.

But, I'm not going to stop them doing anything. Their choice, but if they want to stop, they must stop themselves.
