Okay. Eww. Seriously.

[imabrat]

It infuriates me that people think they can do marijuana, drink alcohol, or worse and NOT be affected by it. You NEVER think you're going to get high, drive a car, and hit and kill someone, do you? BUT GUESS WHAT! IT HAPPENS! It infuriates me people think that it can't happen to them. When you think that, you need a reality check pronto.

Society is the way it is. No one can change it, people have tried. The difference between this girl and Paris Hilton, this girl was in a movie geared to young adults. Now if they see her smoking a bong, they're going to think it's cool when it's nothing but harming your body.

 

[Tinkerbell424]

People are making a big deal because smoking pot on your front porch while young girls are probably idolizing you is just dumb. I can't understand how anyone could say it's not. People are OBSESSED with the book and movie. She is one half of the lead in the movie. She's smoking pot on her front porch. I don't see why you wouldn't make a big deal about it?

As evidenced on this thread, way too many people in this country are tolerant of illegal drugs.

I'm not making a big deal about it because she's human. She can do what she wants. She didn't become an actress to be a role model for tweens. She became an actress to do what she loves. It was a stupid move on her behalf, but its her life. Quit worrying about if she's going to influence 12 year olds to smoke pot.

I had no idea being "curious" is a good excuse to use illegal drugs?
That seriously sounds like a bunch of crap to me.

I'm not giving excuses to use drugs. But people get curious. Curiosity is a natural human feeling. A lot of people have experimented with drugs, because of curiousity. Not all of them became addicts.

But by doing that, she should KNOW many actresses automatically become role models. Acting is NOT just a job to play in movies, when you act you take on other roles like role models. She should've known that, and if she didn't, well she's not the brightest bulb in the box.

She's not paid to do that. But honestly, she's human. People make mistakes, nobodys perfect. Especially hollywood actors/actresses.

Just because she's an actress and tons of little kids may look up to her doesnt mean she cant mess or slip up. They're just like everyone else.

 

[shellybellypolo]

But she wasn't doing much we're her judgement was needed. she wasn't driving or anything.

Also, America is one of the few countries that really has a huge problem with cannabis consumption. It is even considered a religious sacrament in the Rastafarian Movement. But of course smoking pot automatically makes you and ugly moron who should be stripped of all privileges.

How do you know that five minutes after those pictures were taken she didn't go for a ride?

I don't recall reading that on this thread. We did, however, say that she is a moron for giving bad messages to young girls that look up to her, and we did say that the drugs probably interfered with her appearance.

Exactly. I know for a fact that many of the girls around me are addicted to Twilight. (Ahem, DIS Chat Gang, you know who you are *wink*) And they're the reason I read the series and loved it. Imagine how many younger girls will say "Oh, if she does that, then she's got to be awesome. Cause she can do that and be Bella Swan". Now I know most young girls aren't dumb enough to do that, but you don't really know these days.

ITA.

Excuse me, I think I'm going to go land a major movie role. Oh, and I think I'll smoke a joint while I'm at it. Cause hey, that's cool.

ETA: I never really liked her in the first place. When someone got her phone number and put it on the internet, my friend got a hold of it. We called her one night, and she picked up saying, "Will you people stop ****ing calling me!" and hung up. I really tried to like her, but she's just not likeable.

If she JUST wanted to be an actress without the fanfare and limelight she should have just became a stage actress. And no, not all people who smoke a joint become addicts but many of them do.

i would've been a lot less likable if i were here and you called me.

I'd be pretty pissed too if I had random girls calling me, and if you found this number, there's probably a billion other people who did to, so I can totally understand why she said that.

No one is getting my point.

It doesn't matter what she's paid to do, being an actress and a role model go hand in hand. You don't have to like it, but that's the way it is. No one is perfect, but she should realize this before doing major blockbuster roles. She should've stuck with more indie roles if she didn't want to be a role model, because the major actor in the next big film is almost always a role model. WTH is going through your head when you know you're a role model to young girls, and you go out and show evidence of smoking a bong?!

What I think is sad is that usually when drunk driving accidents happen,the person who WASNT drunk, WASNT doing the wrong thing, is the one that gets killed.
Around here, a 17 year old girl got killed by a drunk driver a few months ago, and I know a lot of people that knew her.

 

[Mrs.Musso]

There IS no way to be safe about it. One time is all it takes to get addicted. One time is all it takes to hurt your health. One time is all it takes to impair your judgement. One time is all it takes to screw up somebody else's life.

My dad was born in '60, and my mom was born in '65. And they never did drugs. And guess what? Their lives turned out amazing. They have no health problems, no criminal background, no trouble finding a job, and no trouble in any other aspect of their life that could be caused by drugs.

The way that drugs are produced now is scary. Really, really scary. Al kinds of crap ends up in the drugs that arent supposed to be in there, which makes it even worse for you!

And by the way, how many girls do you know that look up to Paris Hilton?

I hate twilight. I don't care about Kristen Stewart. I care about the kids that she is sending bad messages to. And I hate that half of the people on this thread is condoning pot.

thank you.

 

[Mrs.Musso]

You didn't answer my question... HOW does smoking pot make one a bad person? Yes, there are people who partake in it and are irresponsible. Those are bad people, they're putting others at risk. But what if you're safe about it?

she is doing something illegal.
usually if somethings illegal, its bad.(murder, drugs, underaged drinking, etc.)
i dont know of many things that are illegal that are good things to do.

-It's illegal.
-It impairs your judgment. Whoever would willingly do this probably doesn't have half a brain.

BECAUSE actresses/actors are not perfect. She smoked in public. That's her problem. Little kids and parents should discuss this and understand what she did. Again, why does everyone think kids/teens who look up to other stars are naive and stupid enough to do some of the things their favourite celebrity does?

 

[Tinkerbell424]

-It's illegal.
-It impairs your judgment. Whoever would willingly do this probably doesn't have half a brain.

So if someone smoked pot once, they're automatically a bad person?

It's illegal to leave your dogs poop in someone elses yard.
But, say you don't have a bag with you, does that just make you a TERRIBLE AWFUL PERSON?

People do pot all the time. They're not necessarily bad people, they're just doing something that isn't good for them (and sometimes for others).
I'm not defending potheads, but making a huge deal out of someone using illegal substances is just gets annoying.

 

[Mrs.Musso]

no, i dont really think so, it was just one mistake.
also, im not trying to make anyone mad at me.
im just saying my opinion. sorry if i offended anyone.

I'm saying my opinion too.
I'm sorry if you thought I was, like, pressing my beliefs onto you.
You didn't offend me.

i know what your saying.i also agree with you.
im also not saying shes a terrible awful person. i just think it is a mistake,
but like i said earlier, its not me whos doing pot, so it doesnt bother me all that much.
