Alcoholism
When one consumes a large quantity of alcohol, this is one definition of Alcoholism. It affects people in varying ways, however in the end causes great dependancy and in some extreme cases untimely deaths. Drinking heavily can damage the health in particular cause great strain on the liver of those who choose to comsume it in vast quantities. Drinking too much alcohol not only damages your liver it increases the chances of promiscuity, unwanted pregnancies, catching STI's, becoming anti-social.

Incest
A sexual relationship shared by two people from the same family. This is a clear description of Incest. Incest even in today's modern society is a very taboo subject. It is frowned upon by many culture's and religion's and is against the law.
Personally i find the idea of incest vile and cannot understand why anyone would want to participate in any sexual activity with their blood relation. Although i can understand that some people are forced to take part in such activties without their full knowledge and consent. The recent case of Josef Fritzel's poor daughter comes to mind.. I cannot begin to image the hell that she must have lived through at the hands of her evil father. Statistics show that the highest number of incest takes place between father's and their daughter's.

Pornography
The explicit depiction of a sexual subject or matter that adheres to the sexually excited viewer's desires and sexual fantasty. This is one way of describing Pornography. Unlike erotica pornography is less artist and uses more grimey and tacky storylines.
Whether is it wrong, i reserve judgement. I believe people should do whatever makes them happy. So if that means watching or participating in any pornographic activity, it is entirely upto them(",)!!
The statistics speak for themselves, to find out more follow the link below!!!

Dangerous Driving
Recklessly, without paying any due care or attention to the road ahead. This is one definition of Dangerous Driving. The maximum penalty for driving hazardously is a discretionary disqualification as well as this an obligatory endorsement is taken, this means that the driver is given 3-9 points on his/her licence. The maximum financial penalty or fine that is given is £5,000.
Which leads me to ask; why exactly do people drive dangerously?!!

Drugs
Drugs are bad. Drugs are wrong. They cause great pain and anguish to both the user and those close the him/her. Drugs are addictive and cause DEATH!! In Britian alone there are over 120,000 drug dependants and around the world the rise in drug takers has increased ten-fold. 
Wednesday 22 April 2009
Stealing
Wrongfully or maliciously taking money or the belongings of others. This is one definition of Stealing. Stealing is a mortal sin in every religion and in some cultures those who steal are punishable to amputation of limbs and in some extreme cases even death. Stealing to me is immoral; no one person has the right to knowingly take what another owns.

Prostitution
The exchange of money or drugs for anything from sexual intercourse to sexual contact, this is a definition of Prostitution. Whether it is wrong or right I am unsure of as some mainly women see it as their only source of income. Men that are paid for sexual favours are commonly known as rent-boys or gigolo's. Prostitutes usually work in groups and are controlled by a pimp. Prostitution can be found to go back right to the middle ages. Prostitutes then had to follow certain etiquette as they were not allowed to get married, their lives were devoted to their profession. This trend even continues now. Prostitution is very frowned upon and in today's society although modern and open minded, men would still be reluctant to have an emotional more deep relationship with a woman that works in the sex trade. Over 80,000 sex worker's are estimated to be operating in Britain. The number of prostitues in Europe is far less.

Reply to Sinead Webdale.
Stalking-When does observation become stalking then obsession. I think its when they turn from obserserving someone to get an interest or start a conversation (noticing something about a certain person) to wanting and/or knowing everything about this person, from their likes and dislikes to their morning or evening rituals. This person doing the stalking must not be a relative or partner because most people know pretty much everything about their partner, and this is not stalking

I agree with you Sinead, although some statistics do show that many people's ex partner's do become stalker's. Some find letting go of one's partner very difficult to comprehend and are therefore led to the dark deed of stalking, hounding their ex partner. Stalker's see their obessive act as a show of love but their act is selfish as they do not consider the feeling's of other's. In 1998 there was around 900,000 victims of preditorial stalker's.

Abortion
To me abortion is wrong!! There isnt and can be no single justification in taking an innocent beings life. Although not yet a fully formed baby, it still has every right like anyone else to have a life regardless of anything else.According to Islamic law it is utterly wrong for any healthy woman to abort her baby, however in extreme cases where the mother's life is at risk fatally abortions are permitted.
Worldwide over 42million abortions take place every year, that breaks down to approximately 115,000 abortions per day. In Britain alone there are an average of 200,000 per annum.

Unprotected Sex
Unprotected sex or “bareback sex” as it is colloquially known can cause many health problems. Having unprotected sex may lead to both or either one of the two consenting adults to get sexually transmitted diseases, aids or HIV. In some cases it can also lead to unwanted/unplanned pregnancy. Figures show that 43% of people in Britain have unprotected sex every year. They also show that a quarter of 16-20 year olds don't use a condom when engaging in any form of sexual activities.Thursday 9 April 2009

The points you have made are very thought provoking.. For instance I didn't know that regular masturbastion could lower the risk of prostate cancer. It is clear you have researched the topic in some depth. Sunday 5 April 2009
Child Abuse
Child abuse is the physical and mental mistreatment of children. It usually occurs in the child's home and the abuser is generally known by the child and his/her family.Child abuse is defined by three categories:
Sexual Abuse- the child is sexually molested, their privacy is violated or they are exposed to explicit adult materials.
Physical Abuse- this can vary from a smack to broken bones and in some extreme cases even death.
Psychological Abuse- the child is mentally tortured, they are shamed in front of elders and peers or they are not given a sufficient amount of love and affection.

Smoking
Smoking is in my opinion a filthy habit. Not only does it offend my nose when I am unfortunate enough to stand next to a smoker and have the unpleasant misfortune of inhaling it, it also makes my clothes smell bad and has a nasty way of getting the rotten stench into my hair.
Over 80% of smokers start before the age of 19. Half of all long-term smokers will die of cancer or other smoking-related diseases and not only are they harming themselves, they are also putting the lives of those around them at risk also. Passive smoking kills too(".)!!

Infidelity
Infidelity is the breaking of an unsaid bond between two people. Being unfaithful to a sexual partner shows lack of fidelity, loyalty and sexual satisfaction recieved from the cheated partner. It also shows lack of religious belief as infidelity is frowned upon by most religious groups.

Lying
Lying is a form of deception. The person is untruthful, he/she intentionally deceives a loved one or stranger with the full knowledge they are being deceptive. They have the intention to maintain a secret, reputation or to protect someone's feelings or to avoid being condemned or punished. I believe once a person has got away with one lie, they will continually lie. Lying becomes second nature to some people; they may not purposely intend the hurt anyone but with lies come great pain. White lies can be accepted and forgiven but lies that affect ones life and future are unforgivable.
