Goths in Tomorrowland/Fortress Los Angeles

Goths in tomorrowland seemed to be more of a conflict between the adults and the teens. Things have changed pretty much since they were teens. Theres so much more technology which influences teens and theres a lot more music genres and other things that influence todays teens. Parents and adults are afraid of people who consider themselves goths because it puts them in a stereotype of satan loving druggies and alcoholics when in reality some of them are actually the opposite of that. But if you think about it... our parents already went through a part of thier life way back when, when there were groups of teens in their schools that could be related to the groups in todays highschools, and as the saying goes "Your parents know because they've already been through it"... Most of the time thats true. Plus they are just trying to protect their children from getting themselves in bad situations because they've either already been through it themselves and know what its like or they've seen it happen to someone close to them. The goth's have just as much right to be in disney as any other person, if they want to look and be unhappy that's their choice... and everyone else has the choice to look at them and acknowledge them or not. afterall we are in America where everyone is Free.

Fortress Los Angeles is kind of a touchy subject. And obviously not just for me but for many this essay made people a little angry or uncomfortable. Honestly, I can't understand why there are so many homeless people. There are so many places to get jobs ... and they must be homeless for their own reasons and by their own faults. I mean, most of them are druggies or alcoholics or something. And instead of spending what little money they have on food or finding a job or something they end up spending their time and money on getting more drugs or alcohol. If they dont put themselves in the position to become homeless, then they wont become homeless. You have to work hard to make yourself a decent amount of money and everything you cant just expect it to come flowing into your arms. If they dont want to be homeless anymore they have to do something about it.
