we had a public talk a few weeks ago where they talked about depressing music and such. and the speaker said how his nephew had shot himself and he looked into all the music the boy had. he was like, "if you recognize any of these songs, you should throw yours out." it was like metallica, sevendust, and some other bands. it was weird. specific names from the stage.
Ok I think that is totally TOTALLY ridiculous.
The way a certain song or band affects one person can be totally different from the way it affects someone else. Suicide isn't caused by music, it's caused by depression, lack of attention, drugs/alcohol, who knows... it's a call for help ..
I don't know I just think things like this are ridiculous, and it always happens....
If i ever want to kill myself, i'm gonna fill my room with Celine Dion and Yanni records first. And of course, NSYNC
Hey, Yanni is good!
But I feel the same, it's stupid when people blame music for their kids problems.
That's kind of messed up. I can't stand how people turn around and blame music for things. Like when Judas Priest was sued cause two kids commited suicide.
Maybe it's wrong to say, but it's not the music that's allowing things to get out of control, it's parents not showing a full interest in what their kids are doing.
The problem with doing that is that's his opinion nowhere has the faithful and discreet slave said that. You have to be careful when you say things like that from the platform.
A brother in my hall said all the Disney movies are evil and should be throw away. It's out of line, but it makes you think.
Yes it gets you think but you can't be going beyond what the faithful and discreet slave have said on the matter. It's up to our individual consciences. It's a personal decision one way or the other.
Thats correct. It's alienating.
i know. that's why it was weird to hear this brother name all these songs like, "Master of the Puppets." i mean it was a very personal thing for him and likely makes him very upset but it was difficult to listen to him name all these bands.
