No seriously, I agree. If you read the "Murdered for being Goth" thread, I'm glad someone started this one. It's long overdue.

yeah, that thread was scaring
i mean, just because u wear some kind of clothes or something, discrimination is back
so, we're on a damned world if we can't give tolerance a chance

Here's a post I found on Myspace to go along with this:

What is wrong with the world? You would think this day and age frikin 2008 that people would be able to accept change.

The trio of long-haired teenagers grasped the plaza wall to shield their bodies as hundreds of youths kicked and punched them while filming the beating on cell phone cameras. "Kill the emos," shouted the assailants, who had organized over the Internet to launch the attack in Mexico's central city of Queretaro. After police eventually steamed in and made arrests, the bloody victims lay sobbing on the concrete waiting for ambulances while the mob ran through the nearby streets laughing and cheering.

For people that live UK have probably already heard the story about Sophie Lancaster, and how she was tragically killed last year.

sophie and her boyfriend were walking home after a night out, when they were set apon by a gang of boys and both beaten into coma's just for being "Goths". Sophie did not survive this attack.

The two boys were found guilty of the assaults, and are awaiting life sentences!

this type of violence is becoming known all over and alot of people in Mexico and going through this...lets stop the violence and get rid of in today's society, especially against people that "look a little different"!

We were never really free to begin with. Why can't we accept ppl as they are anyhow?

as sad as it is without those willing to fight or in this case "dare to be different" there is not chance in that we will get anywhere its all part of the fight to end this tragic fight of freedom. no matter how hard we try we will never be the same never and plus there are ppl like me and my friends fighting for the cause! its sad to think this is what our "free country" has come to. this isnt freedom.
