I'm not so much bothered by it. The pot thing is just an example.
I do smoke weed occasionally, I don't wear *any* clothing or other insignia that would define me as a pot smoker.
I think it just bothers me that companies profit off of crap like that.
I want to make a shirt with heroin baggies and needles all over it, and see if it sells.
When it comes to sex and violence, I'm desensitized as hell. I haven't been sheltered, but I can't honestly say I'm better or worse for it.
What gets me again is the media. It eats up sex and violence, spits it out every night. Its not informative and objective, its almost condescending and lecture like. I don't know.
Like I said, its like Americans need that negative image to feel better about its own image.
Its the theory of putting someone down to bring yourself up.
