I'm fortunate to live in a country where there is STILL a reasonable degree of freedom of expression. Open-mindedness...some degree of tolerance for views and opinions of our *fellow* human beings. Freedom to express our views on religion, philosophy, art (all kinds, good and *bad*), although this gets extremely subjective....and open to debate. Fortunately, in this country we can STILL debate, argue, disagree, and discuss various personal *points of view*.
Yes, we can STILL express our OWN points of view. Obviously your image has caused me to comment....state some views.... I don't think the *censor-police* will visit you and arrest you because of your submission "Just Another Bad Habit". I don't think you'll be be-headed, murdered, stoned, thrown in prison,....simply because you posted a...perhaps controversial image here. In the United States that is called "tolerance" for other points of view. Freedom of expression...(a VERY!!!!!!! important freedom) Some countries are dark ages away from this kind of (philosophy). It is ********OK********* to disagree here. (fortunately!).
I may not LIKE some forms of visual imagery, and I agree that some forms of imagery are fundamentally (morally/ philosophically) wrong.....ie: child pornography (and those producing it...supporting it--- by viewing it...should be punished---------but.......(with the exception of child pornography)...even though I may not LIKE some imagery...I would defend the artist's/photographer's RIGHT to make it..and in most cases...show it. That is STILL called "Freedom of Expression". It is *ok* that viewers may be offended when viewing some forms of imagery......there is a place (fortunately!!!) for *controversial* art.
I have to admit...there are *some* places in the world........that I would absolutely NOT want to live (exist...a better word)...or, spend my life. The United States is NOT one of them. I'm grateful every day that I live here.......and NOT over there.......somewhere.
Thank you for posting "bad habit" (it obviously caused me to want to express my own thoughts). ---Mike
I say....you may NOT want to "grow up". Growing up turns a lot of us into fools. It allows us time to become hatelful, intolerant, and....arrogant. (to name a few qualities I usually find in "adults"....seldom in children.

thankyou for your comment, it is by far the most in depth i have recieved.
i was not setting out to be controversial but i knew that it may be percieved as controversial.
it is true that freedom of speech/expression is something that people take too lightly in parts of the world.
who was it who said;
"I disapprove of what you say, but I will defend to the death your right to say it"?
as for growing up i will (hopefully) do a peter pan and circumvent it...if only i could find never never land.
cheers again.
