Drama at he home front.

I have a lovely friend that likes things like most everybody. It wouldn’t be a problem except there are people claiming she is supporting celebrities that break the law such as rapist, murders and so on and so on. Now this is only a bit of the problem. My question to you the reader is, “when you buy something are you supporting that individual and their atrocities?” Without naming names of big celebrities because one I can’t afford any law suits. Theres no two, is buying a celebrities merchandise convicted or accused saying we believe in you, even if we are saying I just like the product? Me, I normally just like the product but this argument my friends were having did make me think a little more about this question. Is my buck fifty helping add a murder, rapist or even a child molester? Most of the time I stand to the side and say I can’t judge these people because the media is going to twist things up and tell us what they think we want to hear. Even try to make things out to be worse or sometimes better for that individual what ever gets ratings. Being a celebrity I don’t believe you can ever get a clear clean trial. Not to say it’s not possible I just don’t see how. That’s a different subject.
I’m a cheap-o any ways, I don’t really buy name brand things they are just things to me. Still my friend was looking for my support and the best I can say is it depends on what you believe. Now if a celebrity is stupid enough to put there crime on camera again it’s what you believe. A little bit of a let down I know. I’m not one to try and make people believe in what I believe. I refuse to get in to an argument over such little things. Life’s just to short for that. You either do or don’t. That doesn’t make you a bad person to me. You are your own person. Luckily we are not machines and can make up our own minds. I am a believer that it falls in the category of common sense. The world today is no different from that of years before, there are people still pushing their beliefs, religions, and views on everyone trying desperately to bully or even scare people to be just as they are. I have no answer on how to fix that. I can only say to my friend and anyone else who will or wants to listen. Be your self and chose your own paths, as long as your not hurting any one or yourself what does anyone else care. You as an individual will have to live with your own choices. It’s you money do with it what you will.
