Re: Scott Stapp - Behind the Douchebag
 

Anyone who enjoyed the terrible cinematic garbage of the "Daredevil" franchise should hardly be one to speak about having a life.

Re: Scott Stapp - Behind the Douchebag
 

No, I'm not, because I'm not a figure in the media preaching total crap to millions of fans. And it is part of the reason I did this. It's really sad that Stapp is representing Christianity to the masses, and making it look so awful in the process. I don't pretend to be something I'm not, unlike Mr. Stapp.

Re: Scott Stapp - Behind the Douchebag
 

And to criticize someone for their avatar is pretty fucking silly, low, and pointless. I know a lot of people that liked the film, and to like a film certainly does not devoid someone of a life. I did like the film when it came out, and since the pic fits my user name, I use it. I don't like the film anymore, but if the picture offends you, there is nothing I can do.

I'm offended that you are actually still a fan of Scott Stapp.

Re: Scott Stapp - Behind the Douchebag
 

Well this is where the friends and fans of Scott Stapp gather........so why are you here?

Re: Scott Stapp - Behind the Douchebag
 

maybe you should report his trespass to Steve.
I'm tired of people suggesting who should or who shouldn't be posting anywhere. :censored:

Re: Scott Stapp - Behind the Douchebag
 

I simply posted to take credit for my video. Hadn't planned on posting again, but I decided I needed to knock down Chase's asinine comments.

Re: Scott Stapp - Behind the Douchebag
 

I'm offended that you endulge in horrible Ben Affleck movies.

And another thing, I honestly find making fun of people who suffer from alcoholism to be more low than making fun of an avatar... since you obviously like to use Biblical quotes please find the one where it says :"thou shalt make fun of people who are struggling with their faith."

Re: Scott Stapp - Behind the Douchebag
 

First of all, I said I don't like that movie anymore. If you really want me to change it and my username, I will. I don't even know why that's an issue. If you want to debate the truth about alcoholism, we could get into that all day. I concur with the thoughts from the most recent South Park episode (best show ever), that it's not a "disease," and instead of someone claiming to be a victim they should take responsibility of their own actions. A disease, I think, is usually something that a person has no control over. Scott Stapp started his own poor drinking habits. Is smoking a disease? No, it causes disease.

About the Christianity thing, I don't hate Scott Stapp because he's a "struggling Christian." I'm angry that the man used that angle to his advantage for years, when he clearly has displayed no remorse for his actions and continues to blame everything on everyone but himself. I don't know him, but I just don't seem him as that poor "struggling Christian." I think, just my humble opinion, that he has used that for years and has no real interest in setting a good example in the media of what Christianity is.

Re: Scott Stapp - Behind the Douchebag
 

How do you know he hasn't had any remorse? Unlike you, I chose not to kick someone while their down... and I find it to be more fulfilling to keep an optimistic outlook. I don't see how gossiping about what Stapp ate for breakfast or where he took his last piss will give you any pleasure. But back to alcoholism. The American Hospital Association, the American Public Health Association, the National Association of Social Workers, and the American College of Physicians classify "alcoholism" as a disease. But... of course you know a hell of a lot more than the nation's most respected medical doctors.

Re: Scott Stapp - Behind the Douchebag
 

I'm well aware it's classified as a disease. But he caused his problem, and he continues to blame everything on everyone but himself.

Re: Scott Stapp - Behind the Douchebag
 

Well, I'm going to have to disagree. It seems like in his most recent interviews... he's actually trying to make a change in his life and is finally accepting responsibility for his actions.

Re: Scott Stapp - Behind the Douchebag
 

i juat love how some people judge!

Re: Scott Stapp - Behind the Douchebag
 

Here's the formal definition of disease:

Here's another one of the definitions of disease:

So yeah it's a tendency to constantly get drunk and out of control, which is abnormal and harmful. Clearly, it is NOT a disease in the formal sense. It is something that is within a person's control. I do not feel one bit of sympathy for alcoholic assholes like Scott Stapp.

Re: Scott Stapp - Behind the Douchebag
 

If I may step in and say something(I'm short on time, so I can't address everything you've said). You're a Christian, right? So why are you judging Stapp and saying that he is "pretending to be something that he is not"? How do YOU know what his relationship with God is like? You don't. Further, as a Christian, if you judge others, you are sinning.

Regarding alcoholism, it IS a disease and the top doctors all agree on this. Yes, Stapp is the one who picked up the bottle in the first place and began to drink it. But he, like those who pick up cigarettes and smoke them, got addicted to it. And addiction is a hard thing to beat. Ask any smoker who has tried to quit smoking, any alcoholic who has tried to stop drinking. They'll all tell you how hard it is for them to quit, that the odds are stacked against them.

It's apparent that Stapp has at least TRIED to quit drinking(the repeated stints in rehab show this) and has, unfortunately, failed. But he, like many other alcholics who want to quit, keeps trying to give it up, not because of the ex-fans who criticize his every move, but because of his son, his wife and his family. That still doesn't mean he's going to be able to completely quit this, but he's at least going to make an effort.

And I guess you haven't heard about any of Stapp's latest concerts, or read his recent interviews. He HAS taken full responsibility for his actions. He isn't blaming it on his ex-bandmates, the ex-manager or anyone else. Not to mention how gracious he has been to the fans. It truly looks like he has changed since the Creed days, even changed since the recent arrests.

Call me crazy, but as a fan, I prefer to have a positive outlook. I don't agree with everything Stapp does, but it isn't my place to pass judgment on every little thing that happens in his life. Because, at the end of the day, I'm a Christian myself and, just like him, I'm going to make mistakes.

If you want to continue to criticize him for doing something you surely do(make mistakes), go right ahead. That's your choice. But as for me, I'm not going to criticize his every move, because it just isn't my place.

Re: Scott Stapp - Behind the Douchebag
 

Wow! For someone who clearly hates Stapp, it's pretty interesting that this would be the first practice "project" that came to mind. Way too much energy spent on someone you don't even like, if you ask me. As they say ... There's a fine line between love and hate.

I'm still trying to figure out what part of this video actually made people laugh. :confused: :confused:
