Okay, we'll coddle you and not criticize anything about your posts from here on out like you prefer.

I actually think the parents of school shooting victims have more reason to insist that the principals be locked up. Especially since school is compulsory. But I never heard anyone say that.

At the Ghost Ship show everyone was there of their own free will and even though no one expects to diaf it was still an obviously somewhat dangerous scene.
So the audience is more to blame for the lethal conditions than the owners?

I was at a concert back in '06, The Delicious Rox Festival. Someone in the crowd threw a glass bottle on stage and hit the drummer from American Headcharge. He chucked it back and accidentally hit a little girl, sending her to the hospital. Then the promoters shut the whole thing down a few minutes later. We all got fucked out of a great show.

No but the audience chose to be there. I think in a scene like that everyone is responsible for their own safety.

That sounds like the same logic that fuels the "she shouldn't have worn revealing clothes if she didn't wanna get raped" argument.

Violence is cool. We don't play video games that simulate hugs. Well, most of us don't.

Lucem, you're right, it's silly to talk about what I would or wouldn't do IRL. Glad you brought it up. Maybe you should write an instrumental about it. I recommend a piano paired with a clarinet. With ambient sounds of you hanging from your shower curtain you ****ing failure.

Art Is Dead. Buy My ****.
