Greetings.
As a parent of a 9 year old girl I watch the groups and entertainment" choices of today and am saddened by the so called "musicians" today. The retoric and self righteous spew that comes from there sick and twisted view of "society" makes me ill. As a child of the 70's and 80's we had out share of weird and off beat bands but none as perverse and disgusting as Marilyn Manson. I do not agree that music should be the scapegoat for the problems our children face, parenting should prevent warped people like Marilyn Manson from influencing them, but it does make the job of parenting more difficult because we have to work twice as hard to keep that crap away from our children. If you believe the crap spewed from your great "Antichrist Superstar" then you will print this message based of freedom of speech and no censorship. If you do not post it then you and your kind are just hypocrites.
I think that my children can listen to this "music" as long as they are good kids. My son is a Manson listener, but he gets good grades, and pays attention in Church. He has only gotten in trouble once, but that was for picking a fight. He hasn't done that again. I am very proud of my children, and think that I shouldn't begrudge them this little music as long as there is no reason for it. There certainly hasn't been one lately! I know that I listened to what my parents disliked, and I wasn't allowed to listen to, so I figure that my son would listen to Marilyn Manson no matter what I do. It's probably just a phase he's going through, anyway.
my daugter listens to marilyn and she got me into his music i really like it cause it's not a negative message and i'd rather her listen him then rap where they degrate womyn by calling them bitch or "pop a cap in your ass" so the bands not bad and if theres any influence it positive not negative
as a parent of two children (one 13 yr old girl and one 15 year old boy) i can understand why marilyn manson is so popular. my kids play m.m. 24/7. although marilyn manson isn't one of my favorite artists, i don't think people have the right to make up rumors or bash him.
i am a parent, i was trying to find out somethings on marilyn manson because my 13 year old daughter is in love with him. As you can tell by her screen name MaNsOn1GrL that I am under now. I thought at first Marilyn Manson was a lunatic. But it is all an act, so if you explain to your children that the sacrifices and the lyrics are all a lie to make money, they might not believe in him as strongly. I think Marilyn Manson is a fine person, he may be bisexual and a crossdresser, but we do have many people like that in the 90's. But as a person he isn;t so bad and there really isn;t that much wrong with him, but when he lies and pretends to be somebody else he isn't someone i have any respect for. I also think let your children listen to him. It's a phase. I am the mother of a 21 year old son and a 18 year old daughter. They both went through the same stage at the ages 12 through around 15. But then Marilyn Manson wasn't popular. They will eventualkly start to hate the guy and the group and your problems will be over with.
I am a parent of a 17 year old Satanist. He listens to Marilyn Manson, Nine Inch Nails, and anything evil. I do not know what to do, yesterday I came into the house and he had the household dog on the floor, while he was doing obcene things to him. He later told me that "Marilyn Manson does it". I do not care if he is a satanist or listens to Manson, but I wish he wouldn't violate my Fluffy analy. What should I do, I'm thinking about going to a Marilyn Manson show with a shotgun and killing that evil SOB myself but I know thats not the right thing to do and it's highly illegal.
I am the parent of a 3 year old, I am 25 years old, I have a home, a job, and a husband---and I am a Marilyn Manson fan. All I have to say to these parents that think Marilyn Manson is evil and is destroying their children is this: My disallusionment with the whole "God" thing came from years of neglect, betrayal and let downs that were inflicted on me by those who were closest to me and supposedly "loved" me, much like Rev. MAnson. Most children who act out under the guise of "the Devil [Marilyn Manson] made me do it" often have some much deeper underlying issues that probably have less to do with the music they are listening to and more to do with their upbringing. I hope that I will raise my son to have enough strength of mind and character to accept that everyone in the world is not going to be like him, and likewise, he doesn't have to be like everyone else. Fortunately, Like Rev. Manson I've learned from the disappointments in my life that most people aren't what they seem, and if you can live with that and still be true to yourself (warts and all), then as the saying goes, "That which doesn't kill us makes us stronger." If I can instill value in my child, I don't think I will have to waste valuble time worrying about what kind of music he's listening to.
I am a mother of two small children and a devoted MM listener. My two yr old son loves MM and especially the song "Beautiful People". Anytime that song comes on he gets up and starts dancing and singing! I am very happy a musician like MM has finally given people a positive message about society, religion, etc.. And I do say POSITIVE because his message is just that. Now whether or not someone takes it out of context is a different story. I am a Christian and although I may not agree on everything I do feel this world deserves a person like himself. As far as that one mother wrote about her son doing obscene things with the dog, well she and her son should really do a background check and read his book because MM does not have sex with animals. I think her son has some problems and he is using MM as an escape goat like the rest of society is doing. Hopefully parents will soon wake up and realize it's not Marilyn Manson who is the problem but their own lack of parenting!
Iam a single mother with a 17 year old son. I am also a loyal Manson fan, I am sick of all the weak minded parents who blame their childs behaviour on there choice of music and accuse Marilyn Manson of being a satanist freak with a self destructive message. My son is a grade A student, does not do drugs, has a part time job, is on the right side of the law and has an all round good attitude to what life is all about.I am proud of my son for being such an open minded person.
I am a parent of 3 children! I say Marylin Manson rules!!! I want my children to see the side of the devil so they can be scared and careful for what they have a head of them. Besides I want my kids to express themselves and thats what marylin manson does. I have a lot of respect for them. They play KoOl music too.
ps. If you do not post this i will be majorly pissed
