I have been holidaying and have my brains *****ed out too much in the last week to see BB so I haven't had a chance to observe Bea yet, but reading the general points above about drugs and polygamy I have to agree with the pro-
doing what is right for you and not what society dictates side.
I think people who are strong and confident in themselves and what they believe and want are for the most part better role models
regardless of behaviour / beliefs than people who just follow the social norms blindly, with no true conviction other than that it is expected of them.
I have no idea if Bea is such a person.
Morality shifts. A thousand years ago it was morally OK to have slaves and morally
right to beat them if they 'needed it'. Today that is an outrageous idea. Today it is 'morally right' in the eyes of many cultures to have one life partner - but that's entirely subjective.
And to the person who went on about drugs tearing families apart - alcohol abuse is completely legal and I can name five families of people close to me, including my own, that were adversely effected by alcohol - three of which suffered irreparable damage. I can name only one family that suffered similarly due to drug addiction. The two main difference between recreational drug
abuse and alcohol
abuse is the legal status and that the latter is far more common than the former. Just because something is legal it does not make it OK.
Of course it is possible to partake of and enjoy both recreational drugs and alcohol without abusing them.
Generally speaking though, the most sense in this thread has come from the people saying that looking for a role model among the BB contestants is a futile search - but still, the acedemic discussion is somewhat interesting, what?
