I have presented aguements supporting my case that require no research to support them.
They are simpley common knowlege or fact.
#1 FACT: fify cent's has pissed off many people and goten shot many many times because of it.
#2 FACT: #1 says nothing for his intelagence or his ability as a role model.
#3 COMMON KNOWEDGE: People idolize fifty relating to item #1, case in point his movie get rich or die trying, and recent video game.
#4 FACT: small kids sometimes mimic the behavior of people they idolize. Hosital bills and police records can testify to this.
#5 FACT: The small kids indicated (#4) will one day grow into contributing members of society for better or for worse.
Never mind the rest of that, 4 is misleading. There have been cases of kids imitating idols, but can you establish that that is what is going on here? It isn't exactly something that happens "all the time". So, where's your evidence? Yes my friend, you will have to provide evidence. Show crime rates and a sudden increase after fifty cent's album hit the top of the charts and you have a corrolation.
And just to remind you, GTA, to a lot of people, IS viewed as a role model and they use the same arguments.
All I'm asking for is evidence of your claims, not to make them HARDER. This isn't disagreement so much as a request for evidence. Surely you have some or you wouldn't have said this.
