This is a speech by Marilyn Manson in Times Square, New York City. It's a little lengthy at 12:03. But it's worth it.

This is a really interesting speech as it really shows what's going on with ppl today.
Violence itself isn't that bad but it should only be used if there's no other solution. People these days don't talk anymore and that's the main problem of everyday. One rather talks to someone else about a problem than with the person who he has the problem with, that results in not understanding why and talking behind someone's back who gets mad about that and starts a fight instead of going to that person and asking why.
The story about the kid being ran over really got me just because Marilyn is so right about that, he says the exact same thing as me. You can't be who you want to be anymore in this society because you get laughed at, spit on and beaten and that results in other problems for the victim, he starts drinking, doing drugs, cutting himself or goes into crime for the purpose of feeling in control of what he does or just to forget or look tough. Maybe he'll get respect from certain people but most of the times the situation just gets worse and it escalates.
Now they blame artists like Marilyn Manson, Slipknot, Dimmu Borgir, etc. to promote violence. It's not true, they just bring as entertainement what is on the television every day. But just as pure entertainement, not as promotion but that's something that people don't understand because they look "evil", they look like they cause trouble. And because some popular ppl think that, everyone thinks that because no one wants to go up against those popular ppl in fear of rejection and being spit on.
To me everyone who doesn't accept that everyone looks diffrent, feels diffrent, thinks diffrent and actually is diffrent is a lower life-form who doesn't deserve any kind of respect from anyone. Also the ppl who follow these aren't worth shit. The true decent human beings are those who are called "emo" or "goth" or "prep" or anything else, because they understand that they are diffrent and act accordingly and the thanx they get is spit in their face.
Learn to accept other ppl around you and if you have a problem, talk with them instead of laughing or spitting at them, understand why before you act.
