Straight Edge Gamers (looking for members)

[JarimTheDream]

I know straight edge has to do about punk rock,gangs and every thing else. What i am trying to do has nothing to do with that.

I been Straight Edge all my life but never got into punk rock like that i like RnB the most. I just want people to be there self.

I dont dis like people that smoke or drink thats there chose but its hard to find people like my self straight edge.

[JarimTheDream]

I just realized you copied and pasted “commitment to refrain from drinking alcohol, using tobacco products, and taking recreational drugs” directly from wikipedia. That gave me a giggle. Can’t put it into your own words?

Lol i can but it described it as i would have. maybe not the same but it lets every know what straight edge means.

JarimTheDream sounds like a hippie name. You sure you’re not doing drugs?

[pherai]

you’ll probably get a lot of members since a lot of the SF community abstains from drinking and drug use simply because they have no friends to party with.

[Bisonopolis]

Wrong.

See Minor Threat song: Straight Edge

edit:

THIS

There were bands before minor threat that were straight edge. Minor threat just gave it a name. And more than that your confusing two of their songs. Nowhere in the song straight edge does it say anything about sex. http://www.plyrics.com/lyrics/minorthreat/straightedge.html

The song your thinking of is out of step with the world which came out on “In my eyes” in '81 before later that year Straight edge came out on “Minor Threat”. http://www.plyrics.com/lyrics/minorthreat/outofstepwiththeworld.html

So you got the song wrong and the message wrong considering Out of step says nothing about straight edge and was written before the movement had a name.

Edit: And some of them abstained from promiscuous sex. But what is defined as promiscuous is debatable considering it differs from person to person. ive heard it defined as sex with anyone, sex out of a relationship, sex out of marriage, and sex with a different person on a nightly basis.

No lie i never did drugs. I have had problems with family members that chose drugs and the lifestyle that came with selling drugs over there own child.

If only Denjin were a nationwide conglomerate.

I hope i get alot of members but i know that’s not true to a point because i go to partys but chose not to drink or use drugs and alot of people have friends lol i am still getting weird comments.

[Pablo_the_Mex]

I dont consider being straight edge a lifestyle. I see its as a decision you make.

wat?

[pherai]

there’d be a lot more pukestains in this world, and I’d shed tears of joy. keep spreading the good word :party:

[networkingyuppy]

ugh. Please not throwdown. Ever.

While I certainly share those views on abstaining from those practices I don’t see what kind of association one could make with gaming. it just doesn’t make sense.

It’s where all the straight edge prudish kids hang together and have a circle jerk. duh.
Definitely not for me.

For a long time, old school sXe kids defined it as abstaining from sex (unless married.) This was before the internet, so the only true definition back then was whatever came out of their mouths personally.

So in closing, there WAS a time when being staight edge meant you abstained from sex. That is all.

P.S. YOu were right, I did have the songs mixed up. Listening to them now. I love MT

[JarimTheDream]

The slight benefits you can get for your body through things like wine are also attainable through other means. So while it can be good for you in small doses there are other, non alcohol, items that can give you the same or even greater health benefits.

And on average someone who abstains from those practices have cleaner bodies than those that don’t. Though neither of them can compare to someone who doesn’t eat meat haha

Like i said i dont dis like people that are not straight edge alot of my friends and even best friends drink smoke or smoke weed.

but i agree i heard a report that this old lady stayed alive for years making shore she had fresh air and drinking a cup of red wine every day

same thing for the person that lived the longest he drank wine also.

Not trying to troll, honest question: have you ever pretended you’re drunk just so people don’t ask you to be the DD?

Honestly I’m not sure of the specifics because ive heard different from different OG sXe people. So i wont speak on that topic.

Ive pretended to not be drunk so I could drive.

Not the smartest thing Ive ever done.

I dunno about you, but my friends never want me to DD regardless if I’m intoxicated or not. It’s the fact that I’m asian.

[JarimTheDream]

wat?

What i mean by that is that when people think about straight edge is sum one that is punk rock, straight edge also have a bad rep being compared to gangs because back then n still now straight edge groups would jump and get in fights with nazi, drug dealers, and people that are not like them.

I think being straight edge is a life changing decision but not a lifestyle.

Hahaha. I could totally picture people doing that. But I think the prospect of being paid extra gas money might offset the annoyance of the actual drive

Hey thanks for your comment. I just wanted to see what people thought about a group like this and every has mixed feeling about. I am just thinking of making a normal gaming group similar to Empire Arcaida.
