Homewrecking!

So the other day I posted this status about homewrecking that got a lot of "buzz" in my mini Facebook world, so I decided to share. Basically I was on the train on my way to class and this popped into my head. Now I won't say that I'm going through this situation per say but umm it does kind of, sort of apply in some ways.

A few years ago I was on the other fence and thought homewrecking should be viewed as a crime to society and those that engage in such activity should be held responsible for their actions. That was spawned from the whole Swizz Beatz/Alicia Keys drama that was unfolding at the time. I blamed Alicia Keys for it allll & even thought "the nerve of her to make such spiritual/uplifting songs if this is what she was capable of". It's kind of funny now that I think about it.

But that was years ago, now that I'm a little older my views on this topic are completely changed. No one has the ability to take someone from another, So the whole concept of a "homewrecker" doesn't exist to me. Sole responsibility lies on the person that chose to leave; not the third party. I know now that if I were ever truly happy in a relationship & loved the sh*t out of someone; there's no one person in this entire world that could posses the power to take me from that.

Your thoughts?

COMPLETELY Hypothetical

Who still pays for downloading music?! New music hits the Internet within milliseconds, and file sharing websites within seconds! Is it really "stealing" if we're all technically "sharing"? Honestly, I feel like these artists make enough money so when I sit here and think about all the money that these artists make outside of music; I don't really feel as bad. I mean just because I don't mean anyone else isn't; I'm not swaying masses over here either so the $4 that I didn't spend on the 4 songs I liked of 12 on an entire album won't hurt these guys that much. Some might argue that this may be a deep ethical issue because these guys are artists and should be compensated for their work and blah, blah, blah but ummm yeah I don't really care too much and will exhibit blank stares & daydream if someone tries to argue their point.

**This is strictly for entertainment purposes only. In no way is it an admission of music piracy; these musicians are artists and should be (input all the stuff I'm supposed to say to convince you that I don't download music for free because it's completely immoral)...
