    That's beyond retarded. How can they make a personality (as strange as it is) illegal?

    Emo kids were described as teenagers who wear black, have facial piercings and black hair with fringes that "cover half the face", reports The Guardian

    I wear black quite often. I wear my bandana, Sabres hat and glasses at all hours of the day (and night) in which I hide behind (A sort of personal paranoia I have). I don't have piercings, but I wear black and have objects that cover half my face. Doesn't make me emo. But regardless, This is the dumbest thing I've fucking heard. Being emo doesn't encourage depression or suicide...It never did. For a lot of kids, it's just their way of dealing with being a social outcast. Now, in high school I was the definition of a social outcast but I never went down the emo path...But kids don't think "omg I'm emo so I'm going to perpetuate suicidal angst".

    But do the fucking math Russia. Social outcast = depression = suicidal tendencies. However, when a kid turns "Emo", it's usually because of being a social outcast, which leads to depression and suicidal tendencies. So in order to make being emo illegal, they also need to make depression illegal. Normal happy, popular, social kids don't usually go down the emo road because there is no need for it. It's led by those who are already depressed.

    So which is it, Russia. Ban being emo, and you need to ban depression outright. Good luck with that.

    That's how I see it anyway. As I said, I know what it's like to be a social outcast, what it's like to be depressed and suicidal. I never went "emo" persay, but emo isn't just a clothing style.

    lol stupid emos
     
  3. Also Phoenix when you think about it, those social outcasts also kinda find their place in society by becoming "emo". They suddenly fit into a click of people that makes them feel like the belong. If anything becoming emo could lead to a prevention of suicides not a increase in them.

    Straight up, this ain't no afterschool special. This latch key kid is showing the suburbs what it means to be a true playa. While mom and dad are at work, this wigga opens his parent's crib up to his friends for all the soda pop and play station they can stomach.

    In the meantime, while everyone is distracted by the clowns in the White House, a nuclear power shifts once again towards totalitarianism. Scary... :eek:

    With all the money Russia wastes on law enforcement they could spend on parental council programs to make sure the parents actually know how the fuck to handle their children and help them grow up.

    Be hard for to say which is worse/sillier..

    I think I like Emo's just a bit ..after a bit of thought.

    I may change my mind if I hear some more reasons why Wiggahs are better than Emo's.

    below is my reasoning..I admit I have not given this too much thought.

    The Emo kids have better music...made by Emos. they emphathise with thier audience.

    Wiggahs listen to music made by non wiggahs. The people who make the music they listen too.. make fun of the wiggahs that buy it...and laugh all the way to the bank.

    One is real the other is a fake.
    Most Emos really are Emo...They are really that way..which makes them scarier than posers.
    I'll fight a poser any day..an Emo I wont.. you may beat-up an Emo..but he will kill you in school the next day. He really don't care about life.


    Wiggars are posers ..the ones who are not posers are thugs..thugs are criminals.
    Ill take a cry baby over a thief. I wont like either.

    be interesting to hear some other comparisons.

    aslo I grew up in the back alleys of chicagos southside..I know what gangsters are. Ive never been Emo.

    My nephew was a fred durst clone..he got married had 3 kids..no more wiggah. He was posing...he still has the baggy pants and ak47...but he has chilled.
    His sister.. my niece.. was not posing..she is sitting in prison now.

    The attitude is just as pissy though?

    As far as music goes, I have only heard a few rap songs that are actually worth having recorded, to my understanding Rap is an improvisational art, why in gods name would you bottle inprov'd work and sell it? Might as well bottle black guys sweat to smear over their wigger bodies.
    But then again, that's what Axe and Tag is for.

    I don't. Most tend to be extreme geeks, and it's kind of awkward when you hear internet meme's and slang in RL.

    That's billions of dollars of equipment you're blowing up there. Even if you were caught detonating a warhead, you would never pay it off if they worked you 24/7. Nukes > your life.
     
  18. Hmmm, you got me there. But what if I had insurance, I'm sure they would cover the damage.
