Human Trafficking

Human Trafficking is the biggest form of slavery in the world ranging from adult to child slaves. Many women are sold to be sex slaves for their slave masters thinking they are going to work as something else in a country. Human trafficking generates about 9.5 billion dollars a year and millions of people are sold as slaves a year. I think human trafficking is sickening and should be abolished, because everyone on the planet is born equal and is entitled to their freedom.

Masterbation

In classed we spoke on masterbation and what we thought of it. personally i find masterbation wrong and disgusting, because it uses the body in an improper way and i find sitting by yourself thinking of having sex with a person when your nto and giving yourself that feeling sad. In class we discussed the social view of masterbation and in the 19th century it was a disese, btu in the 20th century its a cure so the social view of masterbation has changed in some peoples eyes, but not all. In Britain a 2007 survey on masterbation found that in individuals aged 16 to 44, 95% of men and 71% of women masturbated at some point in their lives. 73% of men and 37% of women reported masturbating in the four weeks before their interview, while 53% of men and 18% of women reported masturbating in the previous seven days.

Smoking 19/04/2010

I do not smoke and haven't taken up the habit, but as a curious teenager like most i have tried a cigarette. My parents being Christians indoctrinated smoking as a bad from a child which deterred me from doing it, although i have tried a cigarette the reason i never pick up thew habit is that i find it pointless. The reason i find smoking pointless is that in my opinion sucking on the end of a cigarette to exhale smoke when the money for the pack could be spent on something more useful like food. Aside from thinking buying a pack of 20 cigarettes for over £3 is a waste of money to smoke the health issues is another reason.
Smoking has been proven to be damaging to health and cause illnesses such as: cardiovascular disease, coronary thrombosis, cancer and many more illnesses. Smoking also makes its 'victims' crave for nicotine and stopping smoking can create with drawl symptoms. According to statistics smokers take 25% more sick days than non-smokers, smoking worsens asthma, smokers are also twice as likely to get macular degeneration.
Smoking has so many more than i mentioned bad effects on the human body it can be understood why smoking is seen as not a good thing the reason why i think it isn't wiped out is, because millions of people smoke around the world so it won't be easy to shut down and would cause an uproar. In the past it was seen as a cool thing to do and many people were smoking and adverts were there encouraging smoking as well as many famous people seen on posters with cigarettes. As i said before in the post i am a christian and in Christianity 1Corinthians 3:16 -17 its says "Don't you know you yourselves are God's temple and that God's Spirit lives in you? If anyone destroys God's temple, God will destroy him; for Gods temple is sacred, and you are that temple.
Therefore if i smoke and bring all these hazardous chemicals that God did not plant into my body am i not defiling his temple?, and making myself unclean, because the Holy Spirit cannot dwell in a dirty vessel.
