I really dont think that there is any excuse for having an affair when in a relationship. if someone is staying with their partner just for their kids then they are already making a huge mistake. there is no way they would be happy which would have a worse effect on the kids than have them have divorced parents.

Prostitution

I don't think that prostitution will ever go away as there will always be women desperate enough for money to go as far as to sell themselves to other people. It is an ongoing problem and therefore i wonder if brothels should be legalised at least then, the girls have more of a choice and a safe place to live. Having said this, i would not want to encourage prostitution in any way. I think it degrades women in every way possible and i think it is often related to drugs. so you can never get rid of one problem without having to solve another first.

I understand that everyone has their own point of view on this subject, however i feel that we have enough legal drugs that should not be made available to the public such as cigarettes, and so to add another to the list would be utterly pointless. i do feel it can be useful when treating illnesses such as MS but i do wonder if i am slightly biased as i am the mother of four children and i would hate to think of any of them smoking marajuana.

Bad comedians

i find comedians who use race, disability and serious issues, as a joke, are extremley offensive. i understand that some people find them funny,but these are not the people who have suffered at the hands of a disability or historic disaster such as the holocaust. the more terrible the event, the more jokes seem to come out of it, such as 911. i think that comedians such as roy chubby brown, are terrible and obviously have no consience if all they can do is get their comedy inspiration from other people's suffering.

Gambling

I think that in this country gamblinbg is thrown in our faces at evry opportunity. It is encouraged even on the television when they advertise gala bingo and the lottery with the promise that you are going to win millions. This can lead people into a flase sense of security, oh it's only a couple of quid, it doesn't matter, when in a few cases it turns into hours of bingo or tries on the fruit machine, soon turning into hundreds of pounds. the lottery especially is made to look fantastic and obviously the prize money is good but the actual chance of anyone winning is 1 in every 13,983,816.

I feel that the pictures posted by you for this particular subject were indeed to graphic for many people's liking and you should show more consideration for others in the future. I feel you are not thinking of the bigger picture for others involved. it is very easy for a man to say how wrong it is and try and shame women for making the choice to abort an embryo. This is because men are able to leave the baby much easier than women. they do not have to spend nine months carrying a baby they dont know how to provide for, or do not want to care for. (some) men, cause the problem and leave women to come up with the answer. Do you think that GIRLS as young as 13 and 14 should be pregnant with a child when that is all they are themselves? should they ruin their life for a foetus that would not recieve a full life anyway? i understand that some women are much too careless and so do use abortion as a quick-fix but this is not all women. i would understand if you had shown other points of view but you have not.

I do agree with most of what you have said. I wouldn't class doing the lottery as making someone a gambler either. However, i would not use any spare change i had on the fruit machines as the people who get that money are rich enough from it. i prefer to save my spare change for things like holidays.
