Although that probably WOULD offend them (at least my mom), they know they can't do anything about it.

grey and pink: i agree with you but i also agree with the boy's parents. although i dont have any children and thus lose a bit of credibility, i think that parents should have the final say regardless of the situation. there is more time in life later to sort out how much your parents fucked you up. i find myself doing that all the time and i am extremely "well-adjusted". i just think thats part of life. yeah, i think there are some seriously fucked up parents in the world and they will always be here but i dont think throwing someones cds away because they think the cds might be a bad influence is inherently stupid or wrong. also, we should keep in mind that blackwater is speaking for his parents and we really have no idea why they did that. he may be smoking crack for all we know.
i totally agree with you that religious fanatacism is terrible but thats all some people know. i personally cant stand it.
i dig what you said about exploring music and art but i think sexuality shouldnt be explored. too many kids have found themselves pregnant at age 14 to justify exploring sex. i think it could wait. thoughts?
off topic: i thought the new "dawn of the dead" was really good. also, i recently picked up "cabin fever". i recommend it.....
thanks for sharing.
i thought the new dawn of the dead was the worst film i have ever seen.a load of cheesy american crap. it just felt like a computer game and the acting was soooo corny.
Picking up on one of your previous points, I have lived away from home for 2 years now and have to provide for myself, pay rent, go to work and all that stuff you said etc.. but i still agree with a lot of people on here - i think his parents are in the wrong.
My parents are fine with anything i do most of the time, and dont force anything on me like that but they are (in my opinion)
sometimes quite unfair, and use the whole 'parents are always right' argument which is complete bullshit in my opinion. If they want me to respect them, then they should give me some respect in return imo. I may have been bought up by my parents but that doesnt mean they own me or have the right to tell me what i should be doing, im an adult and living 100+ miles away from home now, not a teenager anymore.
noone should have the right to dictate what music someone listens to, whether they are his parents or not. What makes it worse is that they didnt try and find anything out about the muskc before just shunning it and throwing it out. Christians like this can be so ignorant, without actually having a clue. I suggest you buy some deicide or akercocke or something and just blast it out at full volume, then see what she says.
I also suggest you point her to this thread so she can get a point of view of someone who isnt deluded by religion.
Oh and 1 more thing. Even if the cds were satanic, satanism is a religion just like any other - even if it is anti christian, they shoudl respect your beliefs as much as they expect you to respect theirs.
And who says its not christianity that is anti-satanist? Throw all their christian cds out and see what they say.
I know the situation has been defused now and its all blown over etc but stuff like this still annoys me and stuff should be done about it.
