.. Response to another blog (1) - 'Being Bad' ..

This post comes from http://abidakhatoon.blogspot.com/ and reads:
"Shoplifting
Is shoplifiting any different to any other kind of theft ?In my opinion, shoplifiting is no different to any other kind of theft because we are still taking something that does not belong to us.Why do people who can afford to buy things shoplift them instead ?I think people who can afford to buy things shoplift because they get a adrenaline rush at thought of getting away with shoplifting."


"Prostitution
Is it prostitution to take money of someone who is expecting sex, but then not supply it ?
No, it is not prostitution because sex was not supplied.
If it isn't prostitution then is it more or less socially respectable ?
I feel it is less socially respectable.
If it is prostitution, then how much is a reasonable charge ?
I dont feel there is a reasonable charge in selling your body or sex to a person."

"Stalking
When does a concerned interest in someone's activities become stalking ?
When a person is following you around at all times and not leaving you alone.
Are some kinds of observance allowable and appropriate ? Which ones aren't ?
Certain types of observance are allowed, depending upon the situation. The ones that aren't allowed are: Following a person at all times after being asked not to, looking through a person window, looking through a person personal belongings."


My response to this is:
Shoplifting- I agree with what you wrote, that shoplifting is no different to any other kind of theft because you still taking something that does not belong to us. I don’t understand why people who can afford to buy things need to shoplift still, I don’t really see the point, but some people cant control themselves, as it becomes an addiction or a habit of getting things free and not getting caught.

Prostitution- my view on prostitution is that it is a form of being bad. People become prostitutes because they must be very desperate for money, as that is the main reason why people do it. But prostitution makes the person feel less socially respectable, like you have said, and I agree that prostitution is selling your body or sex to person just for money.

Stalking- I personally think stalking is not appropriate at all, its scary. I understand people have crushes and sometimes people do become a bit obsessed, but there should be a limit, if your following the person, ringing them all the time, pestering them, sending them gifts, or waiting for them to come out of their house, this is definitely not right!!!
