Is euthanasia fundamental to a civilised society?

In Society Most people want to die in their sleep , no pain , no fuss. In reality this isnt the case when you are suffering from a terminal illness and in extreme pain with no hope to live why not be able to have the option to end it on your own terms. Religion would say thats its a sin or suicide but surely if your death is imminant and every up until that point is pure hell with pain would it sill be a sin to want to stop the suffering. Not only to end the suffering of the person envolved but also their loved ones. Would you want your wife\husband\children to stand around and watch you dying slowly, i dont think you would. Life is precious but there comes a point when there is no more hope and only suffering which in the end no one wants we currently have methods to achieve a painless death. If society frowns upon cruelty and intolerance why is this such a big deal. Surely leaving someone to die in pain is an act of cruelty and being intolerant to people who want to end the pain is a sign of well intolerance.

Can money buy happiness?

This is an interesting question. To the human condition most people i would emagine most poeple would say how can you be happy without money. Well in my humble opinion money cant buy happines. It is a frame of mind. You do not need money to be happy with yourself or happy with the way you look or what you know. If you cant be happy with whats in your head no matter how much money you have you will not be happy. If money buys happiness then how can the poor be as happy as the rich and in most cases they are more happy than the rich. Money will only ever give you a base to be happy its a choice of each individual. But by the same virtue if you are starving becuase you cant buy food i doubt you will be a happy person. I think the only part money plays in being happy is supplying the basic needs os every human ie. Some place to stay , food ect ect. Once your basic needs to live have been fulfilled it is entirely up to you to be happy.

an experiment

well i had a thought the other day.

A global story. Sort of a modification of a game we used to play in english class.

Where someone would story start a story and the next person would continue ect ect.

But this time i was thinking to try do it on a global scale.Using this blog as a medium for it, all you have to do is add your part of the story to the comment of this post.

and here we go:

It was a dark stormy night. For some reason that couldnt be explained there was a sense of ill about the town. Most people in the town were asleep expect Jack. Jack was sitting in his room in the dark. The only light to be seem was comming from the computer screen in which all of his attention was dedicated.

Lack of New Ideas in Movies

One of the things that is currently bugging me about all the new movies that are being released is that there are very few new concepts for movies. Movies these days seem to be based of books, comics or tv shows. Dont get me wrong some of these movies are completely awesome but they lack a something new , something cleaned. The recycling of these idead becomes boring, i want something new , something exiting , something that isnt over advertised. Something that is just decent. Maybe that is too much to ask for the commercialisation of movies lead to movies that get millions spent on them and they end up being rubbish. Is a new story line too much to ask for. I guess so

Reality TV

Well , what is up with reality TV.

What is the draw of it. Possibly to see how other people suck more than us , giving us a minor feeling of superiority. While watching them , you find yourself sitting thinking I can do it better , i am better than them.

I personally think the basic draw of them is playing to the basic human condition of I am better than you , no matter who the "you is".

Interestingly enough , knowing this i still watch some of them. Why though, i find the basic human condition that run on them fascinating.

Humans can be very interesting creatures when put under pressure

anyways thats my 2 cents.
