It was disturbing. Guess it's good that he's trying to get it back together. As sad as it is, there is some kid out there who looks up to the guy...better if he's trying to do the right thing.

I caught part of it last night. That dude was just fucked. Plain and simple.

Jeff,
Remember when Steve-o destroyed the set on the Adam Corolla show? Imagine that over and over for an hour.... You did not miss much.

question is... is Steve-O the symptom? Or the disease?
Please don't turn this into a liberal blow hard it's society's fault thing. The man did it all to himself.
Now go spank your kids, they will thank you for it one day.

wasn't commenting one way or another... just trying to be thought-provoking. :thehand:

So which do you think he is?

You don't need to spank your kids for them to learn from and respect you, but you do need to maintain discipline... steve-o seems to me the symptom of a spoiled generation. society's fault? not exactly. there are plenty of people my age who aren't spoiled rotten and total morons like steve-o. my parents never really spanked me, but they sure as hell weren't easy on me either.

Spoiled generation? No, he just did drugs. What would spoiling him have to do with him deciding to do drugs? It's not thought provoking. He just did drugs. Society had nothing to do with it. He just did drugs.

"he just did drugs" is an oversimplification. LOTS of people did drugs, myself included, and don't end up like him. I'm a successful, well-adjusted, and intelligent person. Steve-O is a 30 year old child. Combine drug use with the notion that nothing one does in life has real lasting consequences, and then you get Steve-O. This goes back to what I mentioned about a spoiled generation. Definitely not society's fault - it's their parents' fault... but it's an alarming trend, which affects society, which affects how many people raise their kids.

I disagree. Some people did drugs, you, me, lot's of people. Steve-O doesn't have an off switch. At times I don't, which is why I choose to not get in certain situatiuons.
Sometimes I have a goal to get fucked up, ask the Philly Rovers.;)
Steve-O had that apithany later in life. He is finally admitting to himself and others that he can't handle it anymore.
Is it his parents fault? We don't know. But I've known plenty of "good parents" That had fucked up kids. It's up to the individual to make the conscience choice to change one's lifestyle.
Let me ask you this, if you had a TV camera following you around that glorified the drunken drugged up lifestyle, would you be a productive member of society now?
I'd probably be buried with the few of my friends that didn't or couldn't make that distinction.
This is one of the reasons I moved from New Jersey to Virginia, I was on the path to partying myself to death. I had to get away from that lifestyle. And I had great parents.
But it all boils down to personal choice and responsibility. I think the whole "nature versus nuture is over-simplified, it doesn't allow for personal responsibility, and that is what it all boils down to.
When I'm stumbling around drunk, I know it is self destructive, so did Steve-O.

"Hey Steve-O! Jump off that roof! It'll be on MTV!"
