I do think this message is quite funny. The real problem with this
country is everyone blaming someone else for their actions. Just worry
about taking responsibility for yourself, and don't preach to me about
what you think is right and wrong. I've seen plenty of nudie magazines
and violent movies, didn't participate in school sponsored prayer, etc.
and I'm not going around shooting up any schools. Why? Because my
parents raised me to be responsible. I don't do anything because TV or
magazines told me to, or because someone famous does it. I do what I
was taught to do by my parents, and I don't need people like you
preaching about what I can and can't do.
