As its Friday its time for episode 3 of Bare Essentials on News, and it has been quite a busy week with some 'actual' news taking place. I must admit that it was hard to remain impassive this week as I have formed several (probably quite ignorant and judgmental) opinions of my own. The first one is regarding the student protests. I understand that its important for the masses as it were, to show when they are displeased by their government, we can't make it to easy for them to just run with what ever they like but what do marches on London achieve? Back when the first marches took place, the upper classes realised quite quickly how dependent they were on the working classes to provide them with sustenance from the land as back then if farmers wouldn't farm no one would eat. These days the threat isn't so big as we import such a high proportion of our food, fuel etc that although a prolonged strike would be an embarrassing inconvenience, we would easily get by. That's assuming the protest plans last more than a day. Early protesters had to walk to the capital meaning the country would shut down on some level depending on the group who were marching and their numbers, where as in modern society you can hop from one end of the country to the other in a matter of hours. Protesters attracted rioters and because of their pre planned disrespectful behaviour I found myself immediately switched off away from the students cause which I know is wrong as its an important issue, but I see protesting almost as a self indulgence. I know these ideas are quite strong and defiantly simplistic and you may now think of me in a different light but I like to be honest. I personally think we are almost further away from being a true democracy than we were in the past. Sure we can vote, we can choose between three near identical party's, we are free to march and be ignored but I cant see a way of breaching the top, even from the inside. Do you not often get the feeling that the outcome is often pre decided, that the debates are just for show? As a vague example when I was in six form the school decided to smarten the sixformers up, who had all looked forward to being able to attend school out of uniform for the final two years. They wanted to ban denim and we were invited to debates and take part in a vote, yet denim was still band and you can imagine how we voted. That was my first experience of how those in power like to make those they hold power over feel important by encouraging them to voice their opinions, when in reality the decision is already made. The hope is that each individual will feel happy that at least they got to put their point across in a fair debate and if your really lucky that the individual will conclude that opinions must have been swung over against their view point, but in a fair and open way. For similar reasons I am curious about the reinvestigation into Jullian Assanges alleged sexual assaults by a new source although I am open to the idea that co incidents do happen.
Without anyone getting cross I would love to know what you think? I was on the Abbey Winters forums last night and was amazed by how polite everybody is on there especially when they are disagreeing an unheard of on the British boards. There is an on going debate between diferent groups with some liking the softer nude content and others enjoying the harder more orgasm driven content. Now the site has a good mix of both and the variety is something alot of members praise but people will argue the balance has fallen one way or the other depending on whats just been updated however not once have I seen a disrespectful comment. I am keeping quite for now as many people are angry about the site using a few porn stars not just amatures, as its predominantly an amature site which is what give the scenes their real quality. If I was a baker and went to AW to shoot I would be leaving my day job to have a real sexual experience, so long as I'm honest and open does it really matter that in fact I'm a porn star rather than a baker? I hope not as ~I loved being over there and felt I got a great deal out of it but we will see.
