How do you know what they spend their time doing? I see all these
assumptions being made about people, like they spend all their time taking
drugs, with very little evidence. It's all too easy to assume people conform
to your convenient stereotypes, but real people rarely do. It annoys me so
much to see all this prejudice, elitism and putting words into people's
mouths.
And lest it happen to me, I did most of my raving way back in 1989 and I've
seen all the things people are complaining about, but all a rave is a party
with a dj where people dance. There's no prerequisite that all who attend
are 14 and take shovels full of drugs. Plenty of people who like to party
are perfectly aware that that's not responsible behavior.
