How many times do I have to endure that pop-up banner with the sparkling lights telling me I'm the 500,000th person to get that particular "lucky" pop-up? How many times does the number 500,000 enter into 'the counting game up to 1,000,000' anyway? Up until a few months ago, I thought it was only once!

After watching your daughter’s performance in The Simple Life and seeing her porn tape, there were a few things I wanted to say to you so I thought I’d write you a letter and share my thoughts with you.

Are Al Qaida that desperate?

For the bitter women of the world comes the new Voodoo knife holder.

Unfortunatley it only comes in the color red, but every girl should have one.

Weddings and marriage seem to be a theme for me for the rest of the week. Anywho, I digress....

Charles to marry Camilla…. Who really cares? Public opinion seems more inclined to be not caring. The media and the Royal family, however, are another story. Women's magazines are all atwitter with what Camilla may or may not be wearing. Psychics give their predictions on the new royal "couple". Speculation over what Princes Will and Harry think of it.

My mum and dad married when they were 17 and 21, respectively, and they're still married.

It's not "today's youth" that are doing it, it's been ongoing for decades. Yes there are more opportunities out there for young people, both male and female, but the urge to be part of a couple, get married and settle down with 2.4 kids is stronger than their urge for material gain or for a career.

It's not the age of the person in question, it's the morality of society that you should be looking at. Maybe marriages aren't working now BECAUSE there is so much to choose from now.

I’m all for equal rights and there are women out there that are going to hate me for this, but lets really take a step back and take a real good look at what it used to be like, and how it is today.

Back before the 60's and the dawn of women's liberation, you left school, you got married, as the woman you stayed home, looked after your kids, knew where your kids were at any given time, did as you was asked by your husband and dedicated your life to making your husband comfortable and raising your children.

Men provided for his wife and children, made sure his family was comfortable and treated his wife with respect.

Children were well mannered, expected an ear boxing if they stepped out of line, knew to respect their parents and those older than them and knew that a child was seen but not heard.

Most of these children then grew up knowing the right way to treat their spouse and how to raise their kids who in turn would then become moral upstanding citizens, etc.

Now you have women that can have careers. They can be anything they want to be. They can even be men..... They can go to a fertility clinic at the age of 60 and have a baby if they feel they missed out because they got to have a career. Doesn't matter that they'll more than likely be dead before their kid graduates but who gives a shit? It's her right.

A woman in the 21st century doesn't have to pander to her husband. Isn't allowed to discipline her children, probably doesn't even know where the little bastid is anywho and calls take-out.

A man doesn't have to work if he doesn't want to, the wife can earn a living now so why the hell doesn't SHE do it and he can stay home and look after the kids. Right after he's tinkered with the car, slept in, scratched his ass.....

Kids roam the streets in packs, get into all kinds of shit because even if they DO get caught all they'll get is a severe talking to. Can't spank our children because then it's "assault". Locking them in their room is "imprisonment" and hey if they keep doing it, the PARENTS go to jail. Fucken sweet deal.

What's missing is responsibility, accountability, honour and morals: Something our society lacks as a whole these days.

So really, there's nothing wrong with today's youth. It’s not their fault they’re not compelled to stick at the marriage and work through the hard times.

There's just everything wrong with the way we've let this world become.

There is too much carnage and death among our young people on the roads and with these new laws coming out, one can only hope that the road death tolls will be greatly diminished now that these laws allow us to suspend our children's driving licence and yes, while I know this is a common practice in some US States, it's still new over here.

A friend of mine pm'd me and sent me a link to a site that was.... vile.

It was all to do with people and their fetish with excrement. Now, excuse me for being a bit of a prude... in fact, no. I can be as kinky as the next person but someone please tell me the fascination and sexual pleasure that someone would get from eating or playing with shit. I saw a few pictures and I had to get outta the site because watching people eat and play with shit was making me kind of ill. What sexual gratification is there in looking at women smeared in poo?

I remember when kink was a pair of handcuffs, stiletto's, rubber outfit and a riding crop. Now we have all kinds of things to tickle your fancy (feather or the whole chicken) and probably the most bizarre that I have encountered are the plushophiliacs. Now yeah sure I could link that, but really the only thing you'll find are the diaries and journals of a few freaky people and it didn't seem right to do that to them. However, you DO have a search engine.....

To each their own and all that but come on... stuffed toys???

One person has even gone so far as to describe his relationship with a toy lamb that he found in a dumpster.

Normal sexual practise? I think not.

I had a defacto relationship with a guy that had three kids and we were sure one of his sons was going to end up being a homosexual and we were bracing ourselves for it. Judge all you like. I'm bi myself so I know the implications of not being straight but I'm a female and lets face it, the girls get it easier so yes we feared for his son but jesus now as parents we have to question what our children may be doing with their teddy bears when the lights go out.

That is no longer a problem for me since the dissolution of said defacto relationship, errr the homosexuality, not the possibility of teddy rape. But it certainly makes you stop and think when shopping in Toys 'R' Us.
