Quote:In this particular case, with the dog walking goths, I'm on their side and think they are just looking for the reaction they got. Now that they get it, they are shocked. They are not breaking any laws, so people should just ignore them. I'm not sure how I would explain it to my 5 and 7 year old, but then that would be my parenting problem not theirs. I remember when my dad used to drive with the family through downtown past the hookers, my mom used to tell us to cover our eyes until she told us we could look again.
First of all, someone needs to make these two goth kiddies re-watch "The Matrix" for a refresher on what "Cool" looks like. They're failing at it. They don't have a damn pair of shades between them.
I really think they're just a couple of kids who like to dress like all the other 'nonconforimist' goth kids who all shop at the same store with the exception that they like to add overt and unnecessary BDSM overtones to their costumes. If they weren't using the leash, it would've just looked like an effeminate guy who doesn't know how to dress himself and his girlfriend who doesn't know what bra size she is. It's still tacky, but it's much lower on the TMI scale.
I don't think the bus driver trampled on their civil rights. He just acted like a douchebag and failed at his job. Let the BDSM twins sort out the situation with the bus driver's employer.
