Posted on 24 June 2007 by

Posted on 9 June 2007 by

Careful everybody, this could be a bit of a bumpy ride. I’ve been reading up on the objectification in porn arguments again. Some interesting and potentially controversial points show up here, and lead me to here. So there’s a lot … Continue reading →

Das Booty Politick

Posted on 28 March 2007 by

So, I saw something on today’s hot posts on the front page, and hoped for it to be something it wasn’t. Then I thought that I haven’t written anything particularly political for a while (unless the Personal is political in … Continue reading →

Conflusion

Posted on 10 February 2007 by

What is the world coming to? – Kids Today

Posted on 31 January 2007 by

It’s time to act like I’m older and more prudish than I actually am. Though I do mean it. Basically there was an article in the Education Guardian yesterday about young kids and porn. There’s a lot of stuff in … Continue reading →

Violence in Action – Or how I learnt to stop worrying and love the abuse of Human Rights

Posted on 3 January 2007 by

So, last post I looked at the detachment of reality and media images of reality, and generally pondered how much our view of reality is shaped by media sources. This is a simple and obvious statement…the medium is indeed the … Continue reading →

Posted on 22 December 2006 by
