| My interpretation of it is how people make judgements upon the supposed 'dregs of society' (homeless people, drug dealers, etc.), when we are truly making shallow and ignorant judgements on people in challenging and tough conditions and circumstances and how, if we were put in their shoes, we would be fragile and weak and have a better understanding of how difficult the situation is. Basically, we shouldn't criticize other's choices and circumstances until we have a better understanding of said choices and circumstances. | |

| this is a great song i think its a shame how the fcc bleeps out so many words that the lesson is blocked out in the radio version (or at least on the station i hear it its bleeped out to where you cant tell what he says thank god for the un edited version) but i think its a great way to teach the golden rule in the form of a song. to treat others like you would your self. but yeah this is a brilliant song | |

| I love this song and it reminds me how lucky I'm and too always give back and sacrafice myself becasue there is always someone out there going hungry tonight or a baby abandonded in a park somewhere at night on a bench when it's 30 below freezing. I love this song it reminds everyone to be real and not get all caught up in all this fake crap the world has to offer. 1 2 Next | |

| Horha, I find it incredible that you claim to want to take Everlast's message in the song to heart (which is, of course, that it is not our place to judge those who have been through difficult circumstances) and yet you continually BASH the choice of abortion and refer to it as a "bad decision". It's almost laughable if it wasn't so insulting. Unless you can acknowledge that this right exists for a reason and that for those who make the choice, it often is NOT a bad decision at all, but often the ONLY decision that can be made. Everyone likes to suggest carrying a child to term and putting it up for adoption as a pro-life option. This of course does not really address the 9 months that this thing affects the mothers health (sometimes so much so that it threatens her life), ability to work (earn an income), continue her aducation, be accepted by her family and so on. This songs is trying to point out that these decisions are not made with a nonchalant attitude and if you had any idea of "what it's like" to have something weighing on you physically, psychologically and ethically every day than you would not so quickly spout of your indoctrinated viewpoints. Oh and by the way, pro-life is a misnomer. Anti-choice is far more appropriate. | |

| THis song really is amazing and this is what i get out of it: Many people do things that to others seem immoral or sinful, but really until you've been in their shoes and have had to make the choices they have in their situations, you really cannot pass judgement seeing as you really dont know what it is like. They criticize and belittle, but they may have done the same thing. Unless you know someone like a brother, or you are them, you cannot pass correct judgements so keep your fucking mouths shut basically. Blue Burn Orange is gettin the idea. - But it isn't always giving into temptation...sometimes you do what you have to do to survive whethere it is frowned upon or not. Societys views can't support familys or provide happiness or prevent the sorrow of a lifetime, it's your own responsibility to do what you have to despite the way people may look at you. People aren't always so vain that they rely on an image to make them happy...some people have priorities. And people dont always make the decisions that get them in fucked up situations, life just throws shit at people that they have to deal with, but so many people are spoiled bitches that they don't understand that shit. Some people are good honest people and are born it to families in which they have to do what they can to decide. You cant always chose your path in life completely, so many people have too much shit to take, when they never deserved it, but are still looked down upon...it's sick. - And fuck horha91! Just because someone has an abortion doesnt necessarily mean that they made a mistake, don't get me wrong, ive convinced someone not to have an abortion before, but only because it was for the wrong reasons that she was planning to do it. And i really don't hate the views of the writer because im not a cynical asshole and i agree completely, ...i happen to have close friends that may be junkies, or have had an abortion...or two..haha, and one that's a hooker...but they really arent bad people and they have the best intentions...they're just in some trouble and i would do anything to help them out, like any decent person would for someone who's in a fucked up situation, but they do what they can to get better and they are sweet people who would take a bullet for the people they love and who truly care about others. blah blah blah i guess i just felt like rambling. | |
