allright - time for a good blog

well here's what i'm wondering
why is it that people are so selfish...and i'm the first one to admit that i can be too - i try not to and thats the important thing
why else is it that people want to drink -
as far as i can see, people who drink underage seem to do it for the following reasons:
- Friends are doing it
- They like getting drunk
- Its "fun" and they cant seem to find other things to do that are fun - or i've heard this one too -"it makes normally funny things even more funny....haha - jokes on you


here's the thing...i dont hate people who drink...in fact - i dont hate drinking - when i'm 21 i'm planning on drinking - not to an extreme but - to an extent that i think i can enjoy - and i'll figure it out then...not now (because the risks are just too stupid and too many)
what i do hate is the fact that its a sin...its wrong - illegal and it just has a negative connotation - it does...no matter how you put it - whether you support it or not...IT IS a negative thing - if i tell someone that i drink - occasionally or whatever...they still might have a negative image of me -
now - here's another thing that i've come to realize - what people do is not ALWAYS who they are - some of my good friend drink underage -and ya know what...they're still my friends...i still love hanging out with them when i can...its just that i dont support what they do - i wish they didnt do it - i dont want them to do it - its wrong that they do it...i mean - certainly its not "morally right" is it?
people just drink - they arent drinkers...they're people who drink...

do i think people should drink underage? heck freaking no
do i think its wrong? you bet
do i hate people who drink? no way!
can i ever support it? no
should i change what i believe because of what my friends do? definately NOT
will i encourage people to not (or stop) underage drinking? count on it
am i shallow for my thoughts? i dont think i am - in fact - no, i'm not
are you shallow for thinking that i cant accept the fact that people drink? yes

i accept the fact that its out there - and no matter what i say or other people say - with an exception for a few - people will still do it - and thats too bad - because money and time is better spent elsewhere - rather than on alcohol

here's what i want you to understand - i dont support drinking for a number of reasons - which you can figure out above - but what i do believe is that - its something people do, and if they happen to have the heart and strength to stop it and they have the brain power to realize how dumb it is to do it...then i know they can stop - and i'll help all the people i can who are willing to do that...but rest assured i dont turn my back to people who drink or whatever - they're only human...and we all screw up

eh...so long -
