Resurrection

Exams
Coffee
Hanging out
Shopping

Been very very busy as you all can see

Saw Ocean's Twelve last week.
It sucked.
Sucked really really bad.
A meandering confused plot, mindless action and stupid dialogues.

College has now banned camera phones. Due to the whole Delhi Public School scandal.
For those who don't know what i'm talking about.. a couple of school kids video'd themselves making out and the guy (always the guy.. MEN!!) forwarded it to his friends. etc etc. and eventually it was traded on bazee.com and became a huge scandal.

Things have certainly changed from the time i was 16. Imagine letting your boyfriend tape you. Seems rather confused and stupid to me. Whatever happened to love? too old fashioned?

Elsewhere, in Iran.. they are stoning rape victims to death for having extra marital sex. The rapist gets away without any punishment because he is male. The victim who had no say in the matter gets stoned to death. (google it, it is one of the most painful ways to die)

I've said this over and over again.. but it is worth repeating. No society can prosper or flourish or grow unless (drumroll) it gives it's women the right to their bodies and their minds.

This is why abortion should be made legal (and kept legal). Because a woman should have the ability to make that choice.
In the end, an embryo is an embryo, a foetus is a foetus, and a baby is a baby. (quoting michael moore)
Make the distinction.

This is why prostitution should be made legal. We all know it happens. We all see it happening. Making it legal will not encourage it.. It will simply protect the women who are otherwise without any hope for legal redress.

This is why most muslim countries should stop honour killings, adultery trials and stoning. And give us back the right to our bodies and our minds.
