Apparently in Russia prostitutes are considered to be of a very high status in society, as is the case with Japan and it's Geisha. In Western culture we have very little respect for our whores. Why is this? At a guess I would say it is our deeply religious heritage.

Happy Boys And Happy Girls just came on my ipod - so join in my fun. Yeah my taste in music is weird.




There was a separation of Church and State, but that failed because by definition the state is supposed to reflect the values of society, which in the government's inception was extrememly strong. The problem with that is the state never get the memo that was sent around about the chirch no longer being a relevant organisation within our society. The popularity of religion, particularly Christianity world wide means the organisations have considerable resources that does not hesitate to use it for politicaly purposes, such as weighing in on marriage and abortion debates.Since when did marriage become an institution exclusively belonging to the Church? Wiccans practiced hand-fastenings long before Christianity had marriage. Does the church also claim that marriages that do not directly involve THEIR church are void? All Jewish marriage ceremonies are void, all those marriages performed by licenced marriage celebrants... well you get the idea. The chuch is fucking with the lives of people it has no right too.

So anyway the point of this seeming ramble is that due to the church's widespread influence in our daily lives, in ways we may not even realise, I believe they have managed to instill a set of beliefs into society that are repressive. I'm not saying we should all become whores (although as I remember it Jesus was partial to a whore... Mary Magdalene anyone?)

I think our government should stop listening to the church and start spending more time watching the simpsons.

And remember boys and girls - rape might be illegal but it's also illegal for a man to wear a skirt after dark in the state of Victoria, Australia.
