My Little World10

on the late night radio show (ok its late night love) graham is talking about these new contracts that employers are making workers sign to say they wont have an office romance - graham has said he thinks this is against human rights

so this woman (who of course is a yank) has rung up saying how it's insulting to claim this under human rights when there is suffering all over the world

i accept the point that there are far more serious abuses in the world but i don't see how this is insulting or belittling to the suffering out there, human rights laws are designed to protect all people, not just the "oppressed" and no matter how trivial, while they may be relatively minor issues i like my natural processes to be protected from 'society'

the problem of course is when people go to far and make huge media lunches out of this stuff, as they have done (as this is happening here and affects majority of brits while real suffering affects foreigners and the looked overs)

being pedantic aside, surely it is against not just some human rights laws that some hippy wrote but rather against our nature, it is one of our primary functions to shag and so forth so why should businesses be allowed to stop this just because it happens in the workplace which is often the most social contact people get?? 

i dont particularly like the idea of my human rights being written down in some ways, while i realise that in this society that has developed they are needed, somebody else has decided what these are and while these are normally beneficial to me it often creates unecessary beaureaucracy and stupid lawsuits and ends up stopping the punishment of mass murderers (give it a few years) 

unfortuantely its the best we got and in the world we live in its what we need, however in my little world unwritten law is paramount and common sense prevails, pity humans aint perfect really
