UN slams celebrity druggies

The UN is a joke as it is. They need to worry about sending food to a poor nation before jumping on this.

Oh wait, I think they "drop the ball" on that one to. BTW, Google "UN fails to" and you'll have hours of fun reading all the titles.

If a "celeb" wants to drugs--thats them. Die. Should have been smarter than that. For as long as you can teach your children right and wrong, then you shouldn't have to worry about them.

No, we don't need anymore big government in our lives. Think about it, most of the time when the feds do something, it gets screwed up. Look at the boarder problem. Drugs are coming in daily.

Looking at that Pete's Dogherti picture I just want to threw up. I mean, how can they show themselves in public like that?

I kinda agree with the UN, because I think celebrities should be treated as a regular citizen not as if they were special. They are special, some way, but as role models they should behave better.
I don't think being a celebrity means to be a drug addict, but nowadays it's almost a meaning. Celeb = drug addict.

I think the media is guilty when it comes to this issue, paparazzis get to be a really annoying thing in celebs life and somehow they drive this 'kids' crazy. Drugs are not the solution, but maybe they feel better taking those.

Celebs need to stop acting like irresposible people, they need to take control on their lives and realize that they have fans and most of them are kids trying to be like them.

Anyway, I hope UN resolution works, but, honestly, I don't think the goverment will start treating celebs differently. And they —of course— are not going to behave better.

celebrities need to acknowledge they're role models whether they like it or not. being a role model has some responsibilities.

This issue is a lot older than it would appear. The UN should really sanction a worldwide ban on all music from the sixties if they want to make any progress.

And what about all the brilliant literature that was written by convicts (Dostoevsky, Cervantes(POW)), alcoholics (Hemmingway, Poe, etc.), adulterers (Camus, etc.), drug-addicts (pretty much every writer who found success before 1950, and a lot after that), and so on? They should stop letting kids read Old Man in the Sea and The Raven, I can tell you that much. All the classical philosophy was written by drunken, homosexual, pedophile, orgy-lovers.

And ART, let's not even get started with ART!

what are they doing, smokin crack on stage?? Oh its a bad influence on the kids god damn it if its has anything to do with drugs ITS NOT MENT FOR THE KIDS you dont like it dont be fucking retarded and let them see it dont ruin it for the people that can handel it i dont see any of you saying anything about the drugs and violence on the news!!!! "oh but thats real life " well music is tooo

This would bother me if I weren't so conditioned to love a good train wreck.

I am not sure about how much I agree with all of this. They get into trouble for their activities, but I don't think anymore or less than anyone else.

The harsher sentences have always been with the suppliers, if say, a person in the public arena were to supply drugs, then they should be made example of, but being targeted for taking drugs... this is a hazy arena.

I understand that they are public figures and should be examples to society, but are they not victims of our society also. We dissect their lives in the media and in particular turmoil will be preyed upon by photographers and journalists. They need time to resolve their issues, instead of them being strewn through the internet, newspapers and magazines.
