Yea i Agree thats how i feel as well
Then you aren’t straight edge. You’re just a sober dude. But “Sober Dude” doesn’t sound as cool as “STRAIGHT EDGE,” does it?
Straight edge is a lifestyle, because your decision to abstain from harmful substances impacts the way you live your life. Hardcore is a part of that lifestyle. If you want to adhere to a certain lifestyle, you have to embrace every aspect of it, you can’t just pick and choose what you suits you. Abstaining from promiscuous sex is part of being straight edge, as was demonstrated to you; but I guess you could use the excuse of “reasons not rules” or whatever. By the way, I’m not straight edge, I just know a lot about it.
Right now, you have a very imbalanced perspective on drinking and drugs. You can’t possibly have a complete understanding of what is right and wrong if you’ve simply never experienced wrong first hand. Maybe a few grams of shrooms will help you attain some kind of spiritual enlightenment and change your life. The indigenous people of North America have been doing this centuries, and it’s really quite beautiful. So educate yourself.
This is a misconception. all you need are statistics on how it effects your body, and/or having witnessed others who do it and you can see that it’s a crock of crap. there’s nothing beautiful about creatively poisoning yourself. It’s disrespectful to your own body too.
I mean…I can watch someone jump off a cliff and think to myself. “Yeah I’m not wanting to do that.” just by looking. I don’t have to experience it first hand. Doing social drugs and smoking is like jumping off a cliff in very very slow motion. Feels great until you hit the rocks and get ass cancer or something, along with all those other lemmings.
Yea your right. I agree i guess my under standing of being straight edge is off. So being straight edge has to be about being punk rock but why cant i be straight edge and not be punk rock?
Don’t listen to him. The music of choice should be hardcore happy, classical, melodic trance, ninja techno and j-pop. Because I said so.
So I am going to play SF4 so i am out i will check this out tommorow morning peace
this thread needs a dose of weed
No way man, this thread is too righteous for substance abuse. We’re all standing out here and rocking in the clean air. DAN DAN DADADA DA
shit, this straight-edge stuff is making me high. 
Maybe your ordinary decision making is flawed to begin with and your true power can only be unlocked through mind-altering drugs
some bands used to promote this but i can’t remember which
argh
Didn’t work for my friend. He altered his mind all right. Just like a fox alters a rabbit.
I mean…it’s not even fun to carry a conversation anymore!
so you base all your life experiences through what your friend does?
Drats.
My dickhead friends are my guinea pigs.
My cliff-jumping analogy still holds firm.
Besides, I just hate hate hate that mentality of “hurrhurr, c’mon guys, let’s be rebels and binge drink/smoke/do weed. Everyone does! We’re so contemporary!” makes me want to kick someone in the balls.
I just started a Gaming Clan/Organization called Gamers Who Wear Red shoes (or GWRS). I am looking for Gamers to join.
I am looking for Gamers that wear red shoes & active in the tournament sceen.

I want to know what kind of support or what every one thinks about this.
so like did you guys get cm punk to bankroll you or what
I want to +rep you for saying that…
Yuh huh…
This is some shit that people always come back to, but even science has said shit like “a glass of red wine a day is good for your heart” or “marijuana is effective at treating glaucoma and as a pain killer.” It’s true that you shouldn’t do shit in excess, but that’s true of way more shit than just drugs.
Also, if you haven’t tried it, you don’t know. This is a fact, no matter how much “straight edge” people try to debate it. You are not aware of the effects that it has on your perceptions of things, your decision making skills, your awareness, so you’re not qualified to talk about that.
Basically, in my lifetime, I’ve seen marijuana and alcohol to be considerably less harmful to those around me than pharmaceutical or prescription drugs.
obv. it’s up to everyone to make their own decisions, but calling everything in the category of perception-altering drugs a “poison” is an over-simpification at best.
Magic mushrooms are less toxic than a tablet of Tylenol.
I was talking about morality in the context of drinking and drugs, I’m sorry if that wasn’t clear. Using suicide as an argument is inadmissible.
The part I bolded is very interesting. It also exposes you as being very ignorant. So you think that the responsible consumption of alcohol in moderation is effectively prolonged suicide? Have you ever been drunk before?
Edit: Yourmother brought up a few excellent points (:lol:); the issue at heart here is excess, not the substances themselves. Heart disease brought on by over-eating/bad eating habits is the number one killer in North America.
if you want to know the true meaning of the edge, listen to judge.
edit: i really dont feel like you fully understand what it means to be straight edge unless you participate in hardcore shows.
learn to stage dive.
controversial opinions here!
cm punk was from chicago and a guy i went to shows with printed his first shirts.
