Who's the blame for this?

[QUOTE]Originally posted by Dani: [QB] Okay, my turn... I don't like Marilyn Manson...personally I think his music is revoting, but this is just the opinion of one (attempting to be) humble person. So, people do drugs at his concert...do you think that those same people go home, put on their Sunday best and live a "Leave it to Beaver" lifestyle? No, I don't think so. People that do drugs do them in various places. I don't know if any of you know The Barenaked Ladies or 54-40 (both Canadian bands) but they are NOT like the infamous M.M. and yet I saw people doing drugs at both concerts. Until I see M.M. throwing his audience needles and doobies, I'm not going to start in on him. (As a matter of fact, even if he was dispensing drugs like toilet paper, the blame for it's usage still lies in the individual.) It's YOUR life...have some guts, and own up for your actions. I personally have never done drugs, never been drunk and never committed an act of violence. I've been exposed to all the "media" that everyone else has. I watch the news, I've seen Natural Born Killers a couple times, my dad has a gun, I know a few people who seem to be constantly challenging their alcohol limits and my brother does drugs with his friends like there's no tomorrow. Why am I still normal? Fortunately, I was raised to value all life and was instilled with certain values, in a non-Christian home, I might add. (Although I am now a Christian). Preachers and ministers aren't the only ones who have problems with their kids, and despite the same influences as myself, look how my brother is living...but he's an "adult" now, and he can accept the responsibilities for his actions when (if?) he ever realizes what he's doing. (BTW, just for a reference, my brother hates M.M. and he's a jock. You can't just say it's THAT crowd.) People, this is your life...it's not the army. When someone says "Jump!" you don't have to ask "How high?", actually, you don't even have to jump at all. We all have to make our own decisions...I could give you a bottle of whiskey, but it's your decision whether to drink it all tonight, or to have a little with some coke on the rocks after a long day. If you [i]choose[/i] to do something, think about it..."look before you leap" so to speak...Ultimately, nobody can make these choices for you, except you. Respect your elders...they've been there already. Help each other out, you never know when you might need someone to fall back on. It makes sense to me... (And BTW, I agree with Cargile's first post...that's what my opinion has been all along.) [/QB][/QUOTE]
