pretty much the same thing charles barkley said years back and i fully agree. as a parent you need to be involved enough to know what's up with your kids hobby's and interests.
Of course the parents should be more involved, but many aren't. I'm not saying Lizard, Dollin, Antwan, etc... should be doing anything different, but don't act like these guys aren't role models for a lot of young kids. They have a TON of influence. Hell they have a lot of influence even if the parents ARE paying attention.

he is not a role model. he's not paid to be a role model. he's paid to wreak havoc on his skateboard. parents should be role models. just because he rides a skateboard doesn't mean he should raise your kids.
He's also paid for his image. I'm not disagreeing with you, but you guys are all acting like they have no influence and play no part in steering kids towards drugs and alcahol. They definitely make it all look fun and they ARE role models.... Like it or not.
so do you think that these guys shouldn't be able to enjoy their sucess how they want to because there are shitty parents in the world? they don't give a shit about random kids they don't know and as a parent i don't think it's their responsiblity to. it's the same thing that happens in music, movies, etc... kids are going to get exsposed to these kinds of things and these guys work hard and in my opinion deserver to enjoy (and possibly throw away) their sucess how ever they see fit.
just look at greco, how much tighter was he when he was a pile? and there's a shitload of band examples. clean up and start sucking. hosoi was tighter when he was strung out. list goes on and on.
That's pretty funny as a parent you support drug use. To each his own. Lizard King is sick, but the whole worshiping Satan thing is pretty ignorant. I had this deep conversation last night about Heaven and Hell, and Angels and Demons, and Satan with this dude who studied the Bible and religion.
Satan was created, so he ain't as powerful as God. And if you think Hell is full of sin, you're wrong, there is no sin, maybe a little, it's mostly suffering. It's in the Bible.
So if you believe in the paranormal, ghosts and demons, then you would understand that the most darkest evilest beings don't want to be in Hell, they escape and come to Earth. So even they don't want to be there.
It's like Lizard King is preaching about some shit he doesn't even have the slightest clue about. Yeah I bought the Iron Maiden cd, yeah Satan!
Why I mention it is because a shit head of skaters love the whole 666 and do it for Satan shit, and that is just a sign of lack of education. Thus as a professional you should have the common sense from street skating that kids are impressionable. So I'd definitely say that Lizard King is responsible for mis-leading a whole population of kids about the reality of Hell from his own ignorance, full circle of piles, cool.
I'd rather see Lizard King get into Shaman stuff, that would be a better fit.
