Disagree entirely on this point, that sounds like the "drugs r bad mmkay" approach which has been proven over and over not to work. Doesn't matter how illegal you make something, people will still do it.
To be honest, I think outlawing something makes it much more desirable, especially for teenagers. It's like training a dog not to escape from the backyard. If you shout at the dog and say NO! every time he tries to run through an open gate, he'll just wait for your back to be turned and the first thing he does it bolt. On the other hand, showing the dog that there's not really anything interesting through the gate means that they don't want to escape in the first place.
If you follow me :p |

hahahahah. hmm the only thing that pisses me off is the fact that kids are getting into drugs and all that from such an early age. thats my only problem with it all. but at the end of the day, theyre obviously hearing all this from someone else, so if their older sick **** brothers or whatever are stupid enough to get their 15 year old bros/sis's into this mess then they're the ones who need to suffer for it. not you or i. |

Heh heh Davey that kinda makes me laugh and cringe in some ways considering the age I started going out - yes influenced by older siblings and my own want of 'trying to keep up with the big kids' but that was almost 10 years ago now and nothing has or will change...
...if its not raves/clubs/pubs/events/concerts etc etc there will always be something else that we are doing and the younger generation will pick up on it and run with the ball so to speak. As I did to the generations above me - all I can do is try to gently guide the generations below me. |

I am not saying we should make them anymore illegal. I can see how the "drugs r bad mmkay" approach doesnt work. I am saying that it comes down to us as mature age "ravers" to discourage the use of drugs. Not preaching against drugs but atleast not preaching for drugs around the young people. Encourage the young people to listen to the music and try to understand that. You dont need to say "DONT DO DRUGS!!" you just need to encourage and emphasise the positives of the culture, such as music and friends. This wont stop drug use by young people but it will help them see the real positives in the culture and they wont be so focused on the negatives. |

Good to see you understand that, because politicians/police/most people don't.... |
