Just curious! > okay, i've been thinking about this. and while i'm not particularly fond of the question (and though i guess my opinion doesn't matter since the question was retracted ;o) i wasn't upset by it until Scott started responding to people (who were only responding to the question, NOT the person asking it) by insulting them. *that's* the reason i'm not going to answer it. :-) Scott - i know that you want to start discussions, and so far, most of the answers to the questions you've asked have made me think. but just because someone didn't want to answer this question doesn't mean they're any less moral and intelligent than you are. plus, the opinions they stated *also* started discussions in their own right. why get all bent out of shape and start name calling just because someone didn't agree with you?

Would you still have the same respect for her > >and her music? please be honest! > i think if she was high, wasted, whatever, while she was performing and it was really obvious, *then* i would sort of lose respect for her as an artist, just because it's really unprofessional. i know that a lot of bands/performers do it, but it bothers me. i would be upset if i paid money to see her and she was completely gone the entire time she was on stage, but other than that what she does in her personal time is up to her, and i would be worried for her, but it wouldn't necessarily make me not want to buy/listen to her music. anyway, back to that jane austen book i'm supposed to be reading.. ;o) -Rachel - -*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*- "the moment I let go of it was the moment I got more than I could handle" -Alanis Morissette, 'thank u' ******* just 5 days 'till TORI!! ******* - -*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*- ------------------------------ End of eda-thoughts-digest V1 #232 **********************************
