I just want to discern something, is a straight edge someone who's too pussy to try beer or weed out of fear?

I can understand sobriety (but that's obviously not the same) Straight edge? honestly are you real going to live your life walking on a sheet of glass?

grow a sack. or tits. or just stop talking about it and live your life.

 
I don't think that they don't want to try it out of fear. I think that they just don't want to do it in order to lead a different life. Let them do what they want just stop preaching it to the world.
 
well believe it or not straight edge has become part of the gang profile in many cities around the world now. straight edge can either be a peaceful gang you know just all about not drinking and not smoking. most of these gangs have now also become associated with hard core music. also some of these gangs have gone militaristic and have started to rebel against the people who disagree with them and decide to get wasted and high and such and have started to beat the living shit out of them. a pack may go wait outside of a club or other such place and wait for them to come out and start to wreak havoc. so yeah just watch out who you call pussies.
 
i was hoping we wouldn't have to bring up the OTHER c-crew...but let me just say that i have no problem calling people who try to enforce their lifestyles upon others "pussies" or any other insult of that sort.
 
Fuck them. They take a not bad thing to such an extent that they are not helping their cause at all, they are doing EXACTLY what they are trying to stop.
 
yo but sobriety means you once had to drink, so you're sober, not straight edge. Honestly I think I hate them, and I don't hate many.
 
There is two types of this kind of thing...

One is not drinking or smoking, which is perfectly fine.

But then there's being straight edge, which is the same thing as what is said above, but you preach the fact that you're straight edge to everybody that you see and try to get them to not smoke and drink just like them. This is the "not perfectly fine" answer.

 
Ohhh, so straight edge is the preachy type. Then I hate them too. Thanks for the clarification. I just don't like people pushing their agenda on me.

Speaking of which some cunt at WWU was handing out flyers telling people to become vegans. I wanted to tell her to fuck off but I'm nice and didn't. Nobody is telling her to eat meat so why is she pushing her agenda on me?

Listen to the song: "Beef and Broccoli" by Immortal Technique, it sums it up nicely.

 
its not NOW being associated with hxc music, its always been with hxc music. if youre a hardcore kid then youre straight edge, and if youre not straight edge then youre not a true hardcore kid hah. Basically straight edge is christianity without the label of being christian, even though straight edge kids are usually against religion, its weird. striahgt edge gangs are REALLY big in reno and the sacramento area because most hxc music, well the good hxc music comes from sac. straight edge is lame, but if thats the way they wanna live their lives thats cool, just dont try to push it on other peeps.
 
dude fuck you honestly, thats basically being like i hate all black people (in the sense of its prejudice). im straight edge ive drank and smoked before but i just dont do it because i dunno i have other shit to do, i still go to parties, and dont preach and dont care about what other people think. basically by saying that your being worse than the straight edge kids that go look at all the drunkies zomg! -k for being stupid
 
religion and christianity dont mean the same thing. so its not weird that they are christians but hate religion
 
FUCK ALL THIS SHIT, I'M SO GOD DAMNED SICK OF PEOPLE TRYING TO FIT INTO ONE GROUP OR ANOTHER, THEY ARE ALL EQUALLY FUCKING RETARDED, JUST DO YOUR OWN THING AND LIVE YOUR OWN FUCKING LIFE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! FUCK WANTING TO BELONG, IF EVERYONE DID THEIR OWN THING NONE OF THIS SHIT WOULD EVER BE A PROBLEM.

ya, caps was necessary, I'm fuckin mad.
 
you CAN live your life like that, it would just be kinda weird considering humanity has been drinking for over a thousand years.
 
no because black people r fucking awesome, straight edgez OMG r not, You Are Not Straight Edge, You Are Sober. - karma for - karma, ya fuckin straight edge.
 
who are you to tell people how they can and can't live their lives? there is more than one way to have fun. let them do what they want while you do what you want.
 
wow, i just realized what a hypocrite i sound like. i dont drink, i have drank, but i dont now. however i do smoke A LOT, and i know it hasent had any effect on my mind. im just as smart as im just as smart as the day i started
 
you just blatantly contradicted yourself, and i never said black people suck i said your extremely prejudice thats thats so belligerent to give -k for giving -k
 
-k for -k him for -k him for -k to me.

Jesus christ, this is getting out of hand.

I rarely EVER, maybe only 2 or 3 times have I taken karma from people, I just give it. And to somebody's personal opinion, let them have it, I don't -k people because they don't agree with my political views or shit like that. Damn!

Pretty soon I'm going to be angrier over threads like this and that homecoming thread than that damn godhatesfags thread.
 
i got a hoe who says she is never gona drink even wen of age and i say FUCK THAT!!!!

if you dont wanna drink well fuck you cuz your a lil bitch ass cunt

I went cold turkey about 2 weeks ago. I was smoking weed a few times a week and drinking about the same. I tell other people how great it feels to be sober, and I know it was the right choice for me. You all can do whatever the hell you want. I've been there done that, and I know it's fun, but my interests are in other places now.
 
I stopped smoking weed for like 2 months once and it wasn't hard or anything. I thought I felt better but in reality it was the same. I now just smoke whenever I want, but not that much anyway, and I don't feel any different because I realized that smoking herb doesn't do anything to make me feel worse.
 
wow dude way to be an uptight bitch.
anyway, yeah i dont smoke or drink just cause i dont want to, ive drank before, i dont like it so i dont drink.
ive got lots of friends who drink, most of them are really cool, but there are a couple that are just complete loosers because they drink and smoke. this one kid, has gotten 2 mip's got caught with weed, and got a dui after running from the cops and trying to take a 90 degree corner at 80mph and crashing into a house, first of all anyone who drinks and drives after any more than like one beer is a complete fuck. but my friend was wasted, people said that night he was falling over trying to walk 50 ft. and he drove like a dipshit, personally i think he deserves like a year in jail. because after the thousands of dollars in fines, getting kicked out of his mom's house, jail, loosing 2 jobs, and now his dad is thinking of kicking him out cause he wont change, he still drinks all the fucking time, and bitches at me for not drinking, he actually said to me once, "i need to live life" because i dont drink. i guess i just dont see whats so appealing about having your entire life fucked over because you have to rely on a fucking beverage to enjoy life.

ive got like 3 friends that dont drink or smoke at all, and they are the people always willing to go out and do stuff, and they are the people everyone else can rely on to hang out with and have a fun time. this summer we went on 6 camping trips, mt hood and mammoth, a week camping trip out of a boat on a lake, and skateboarded, swam, and mtn biked pretty much every day.
now in our somewhat "group" there are 4 people, me included that dont drink or smoke, everyone else (about 13 people) atleast drinks quite a bit. we asked all of our friends and even like 5 other people we dont know so well to go with us to mt hood, and camping and stuff almost every time we went. and only ONCE we had 2 other people go. and it just so happens that every other camping trip and our mt hood/mammoth trip, it was only us, the kids who dont drink. because all they want to do is sit around and get drunk.

now i really dont understand why drinking is more appealing to some people, but to me id rather be doing something as much as possible. i think its much more positive. spending the entire day outside having fun, as compared to sleeping in till 2, sitting around till night, then drinking, seems like the most boring thing i could imagine. and thats what alot of my friends do daily.

oh and please please please, dont say you have to have balls to drink, seriously it makes you sound like a huge fucking tool, it doesnt take balls to perform a function that every other living thing on the planet does (consume liquid) and it doesnt make it any more special because every other kid in their teens and 20's does it. you remind me of the football players at parties with their shirts off shotgunning beers and acting all "crazy"because they can drink just like any other person. you dont see me gathering my friends around me and chugging my beverage as fast as i can every time i want to get a drink of water.

so yeah if you want to drink, go ahead, thats fine, i may not understand it but if thats your style, cool. but dont get all butt hurt cause some people dont enjoy it.

the only people i do hate, are the people like my friend i mentioned, who let alcohol ruin their life, and put other peoples lives in danger mostly cause they want to look cool, fuck those people, fuck them X 10
 
Once again I'm talking about the straight edges...the emo fags that have all the tatoos and flip ship on kid for boozing and having a good time. What you do is totally respectable, I actually kind of envy it because you hit the mountains and do alotta fun stuff. I do also, I hike and camp with tons of friends and go to the beach, beers are almost always there because thats just what we do, but either way good times were had. Don't take it personal, I'm really talking about the losers that listen to hardcore and act all emo.
 
naw man they do it cause they all listen to the same music, and in there little groups its 'cool' not to drink or smoke and if you drink or smoke they say your conformist and shit. Those kids are fucked up.
 
minor threat helped start the movement with the song straight edge in the 80s. it was basically a song about not poisoning your body. so thats why its associated with hxc
 
ok cool, from your first post you sounded like the kid i know who ran into the house, he's the type of person who literally hates anyone who doesnt drink constantly.
and yeah i agree, people like that who hate others for drinking, (or not drinking) suck.

for example just 2 days ago, i went to a friends house and they had like 4 people over and they were all drinking, (it wasnt an exciting party or anything, just a some kids sitting on a couch drinking beer, so yeah not much fun) they offered me some and i said no thanks, everyone didnt think anything of it except this one kid who knows i dont drink, he wouldnt leave me alone, he kept asking me why i wont drink, and telling me im to much of a "good kid" after like an hour i just bitched him out, (he's the type of kid who doesnt do anything, his parents wont talk to him, they made him move out right after high school, because he really is a piece of shit, drinking is really the highlight of a normal day for him, and he's got to take alcohol classes and pay fines and stuff)
i said something like "people like you are the reason i dont drink, your life is shit, i get depressed just looking at you, i dont constantly bitch at you cause your life is all about drinking, so dont bitch at me cause i dont drink"
like i said, if you wanna drink, go ahead, i may not like it or understand it, but if you like it, sweet. only time ill actually dislike someone for it is if they are drinking and driving or are just dicks about it.

its not that im like scared of alcohol, ill drink sometimes if i feel like it, but the thing i just cant do is get together with people and get drunk just to be drunk. i just dont understand it, its making too big of deal out of it. when i drink its like when friends bring beer camping, ill have a couple throughout the day. but what sucks is when you bring people camping and they want to come just so they can drink, instead of going out and shooting guns and exploring and fishing and stuff, they just sit there all day smoking weed and drinking. ive had a couple of those types of people come with us and i just cant be like that.

 
yeah dude...im pretty much in the same boat as you and i find it pathetic when all my friends ever want to do is get together and just get drunk. pretty lame i'd say. but thats just my opinion, dont hate.
 
you are ignorant and have no idea what you are talking about. first off straight edge kids do nto shove their views down peoples throats. i have numerous friends that are edge and no one has ever preached to me or anyone else about thier habbits. They keep to themselves but if your drunk and start running your mouth or blow smoke in thier face then you've got a problem. most of you posting in this forum havent even been around more than one or two straightedge kids at once, go to a show and see what the culture is about then talk. your just basing your opinions off that other stupid courage crew thread. I just get mad reading this and seeing how misrepresented edge kids are. Plus if half of you said this shit to my friends it certainly would be a bad choice on your part. not to mention if you started telling me what my friends were and wernt i would probably do something. God i love how kids can talk so much shit on the internet, yet none of you would have the balls to say this to any of thier faces.
 
holy shit people, just let people make their own decisions in their life

its a choice, not a big deal

i have a few straightedge friends who are just as chill and cool as my other friends that get smashed every night
 
oh shit you and your friends must be really tough. all the kids on the internet who are talking shit, watch out for this kid and his friends, they are tough people and they would wreck you in real life because they are really badass kids in real life.

do you have any idea how hypocritical it is to say you could beat someone up on the internet, while at the same time saying that person is talking so much shit on the internet?

 
Maybe someone has been taught the negative effects of drugs on our bodies, and maybe they're also seem the negative effects on their friends' lives that drugs have lead to, or maybe they have parents or relatives that have drug addictions, or maybe they feel like it's a horrible waste of money.

Whatever the reason, they've decided that drugs are not something that they want to try, and that they don't need to alter their state of mind in order to live or have fun.

It's just a choice. They have that choice. Just like someone has the choice of abstinence.

Sometimes they can be annoying if they verbally pass judgement on you for your choices. But for the most part, I've found that all the straight edge people I know keep their opinion to themselves, and to each their own.
 
see that first part where you just ran your mouth, is just what im talking about.

and no im not hyprocrtical i dont claim on the internet to sound cool, im just saying what fact is. and what i was saying was that if you said that shit to me or my friends there would be a problem. im not one to start violence for no reason, but its people like you who run thier mouth and get thier ass beat and make themselves seem like a victim. sorry if you dont like it.
 
i dont get it either. drinking and blazing is mad fun and a good way to pass tiem when your bored. if i didnt id be so bored al lthe time.
