I think that Body Modigaction is fine. Sometimes it can be plastic surgery (hey if I could make mine thicker and longer safely I would most guys would), Piercing, Tats and some others that I may not know about. That is as long as you are doing it because you want to. What I mean by that is that you arn't doing it to be like your friends or to be cool or to shock your parents or any other of the wrong reasons.
I have heard of some people who get tats to remember important events or things that happen in there life. I think that is fine as long as it is something you can handle remembering with out adding more trauma to your life. Some events you might not want to be remind off every time you see your left breast.
I admit I do like tats but I'm not getting one for a couple reasons. I hate needles. Plus I hate pain. I have been told it dosn't really hurt. But I've also heard that it does hurt. From the sensations that I heard it gives you I might not be able to sit through an entrie tat. But I do like them. I would love to have a tiger, a dolphin a couple dragons but it isn't for me.
I know somepeople do modify there body so they can feal better about them selves. At first I thought that it dosn't work and that they need to work on themselves first. However I have seen evadance that proves me wrong. Many ladies who get there boobs done do feal better about themselves and it gets rid of there body issues.
All that being said I think that everyone needs to look at the risks also. Then decide for them selves. I think it is also important to try and see how you will look back on your decsions. I do like piecrings. They are a bounus on the ladies. However you don't need to get them so that you fit in. [bgcolor]#00d9d2[/bgcolor]

What about people who go under it willingly to change there apperance. maybe some sergin could take skin from somewhere else and create a new forskin.

I'm affriad it will be to graffic for me. But I do Enjoy I want a foumus face on MTV.

Cuting it pain From what little I know about circumscions I have heard that if you get it done as an adult it is very painfull. I have heard that it dosn't hurt much as a baby plus if it does you don't remember it. I think parents who do it are conserdend about cleaning it and health issues. If a doctor recomends it then it usaly gets done. There may also be concern that a kid with out a cut penis will be mocked in school. For the ladies how would you react if a man pulled it out and it was uncircumsized if he was a hook up or a boyfriend? It is to bad the the kid can't speak up. However the parents actully have say as to what happens to there kid.

TravelingFirst of all I'm glad to see Beast back even though she is leaving it is still nice to see her post. That got me thinking about moving and or traveling to other countries. I have been to Mexico, Canada and a few differant places on a cruise. But I think that everyone should have the opertunity to travel somewhere even if it is just Cleveland or Toronto. I think it is good to see other places and if possible see how other places are run. Plus it is good to get away from where you live. There are so many places I would love to Visit like Europe. I would love to take a european vacation. I would also like to visit Japan and Korea. I think that anyone who has a chance to study overeas should do it. It is a once in a lifetime (unless you are really smart) oppurtuntiy. I think it takes courage to move from where you live. I think it is amazing when people go live in another country because they want to. A cousin of mine lives in Korea and teaches english to kids. I wish I could do that but I think I couldn't handle it my self but tor those that can I think they should. This goes for people in other countries to not just America. I also think that if more people did this there would be less wars. When you understand other cultures you generally get along with them better. That being said I'm glad I'm not in China right now. They and the Japanesse are really going at it. Verberally at least now japan in bashing China's history books and how they teadh it. Or at least that is what the story said. I also read an interesting story about a prolife group in buffalo being up set that they Gay Choir was singing in the church. I guess the main reason they where upset was that it was entertainment in a chuch. Well it is all Bingo's fault. Bingo is what started this. Hello it is gambiling and a lot of people (mostly poor) do get addicted to going. I co worker told me that in england they are going to legalise Gay marraige and when they do Elton John is going to get married. Well that is one reason to travel there. If you are going to get plastic surgery for about the same price as in the USA you can go to Thailand and get it done (great medical system equal to us in plastic surgery at least) and have a weeks vacation so get that boob joob and a weeks vacation for the same price as a boob job here go for it. Sorry I kinda rambeled on but I think you got the point. I like traveling and think everyone should do it. maybe there could be some charity that helps poor people or maybe there allready is one.

Facebook I have never used face book. I know some time back I read a piece about it in the paper. I think it was about it's use in UB. It sounded amazing. I think people would use it to meet people on campus or to go places I wish I still had the article. Then I could scan it and figure out how to share it with everyone. It seems to have great potiential. I can uderstand why they don't want people in the Canisuis Liabary using it. When I went there sometimes getting a machine was tough enough just with people doing school work. Now using it to connect soicly no one would ever get off the computers.
