: And I still think you have no business judging anyone on even why :
: they started. Now I'll challenge you back, tell me you've never done :
anything in your life just because your friends were doing it or
:because of peer pressure. Well?
Yes, of course I did, back in High School. Even if you started as a
child, it's still stupid, but much more forgiveable. It's the people who
start as adults that I really question.
For example, I mentioned the Mallrats commentary. What are the
chances that five random adults in a room would all be smokers?
Not very good. What are the chances that 5 "Young Hollywood
Players" in a room would all smoke. MUCH better. That, in itself, is
proof that "peer pressure" of some kind played a role in those Young
Hollywood Players' decisions to start.
I've been trying for the last ten minutes and I can't for the life of me
think of something more pathetic.
