A new Russian law could make being an emo kid illegal in the eastern European country. Legislation is currenting being formulated in Russia to heavily regulate emo websites and ban emo and goth dress style in schools and government buildings.

The new laws are apparently being driven by fears that these "dangerous teen trends" encourage depression and suicide. The legislation was presented last month at a hearing held by the State Durma, where critics claimed that the "negative" emo culture encourages anti-social behaviour and glorifies suicide.

Like Dio said, I really don't give a shit that emo get the shit kicked out of them, but when the government starts regulating that shit? Too far.

People will kill themselves regardless of if they have their Black clothing and eyeliner or not.  This, if anything 'll bring the rate up, due to oppression.

Emo has existed since the 80's. It is not a following, it's a fad. You remember when girls wore bellbottoms and platforms? Kinda like that.

So in about ten or so years people are going to look at this and laugh.

Might as well just become George Orwell and issue out uniforms to all it's citizens, re-write history, have thought police. Fuck that shit. People should be able to do what they want unless it hurts others. Next they will tell everyone how to think and walk and act. Fuck Russia. One of the few countries worse than mine. I'll say it again fuck em.

Russia has never been in the top five of liberal nation i guess, so it doesn't surprise me . . . Besides, Russian men should be machos, not emos 

They don't directly hurt others.

Besides, your logic hurts my brain, and I don't think you deserve rights, however, as a human being, you have the right to be stupid, just like they do.  You just do it in a different way.

Attention prostitutes?

Well, think about it. They want to take their own life away, right? That's what they always say? So why won't we do it for them?

Because we don't have the right to take others peoples lives away.  By using your logic, everyone's gonna die some day, so why don't we fucking kill 'em all?  I can't wait until I see you on America's most wanted for killing tons of people because "oh they were gonna die anyways"

I'm not emo every one knows that but i look like one,granted that we all know that emo is not a fashion trend but an emotional
State of mind

So a person with depression is immediately written off as an "emo"? That's completely daft.

thankfully Tehbazzard can take a joke and won't take that seriously.

I do half of that on a normal basis. I'm kind of an expert of highlighting text and bolding it.

I don't need to be an attention whore. I have ladies lining up and begging to be on my bolded blue e-penis. Because it's huge.
