IMO, anyone who’s edge and under 21 shouldn’t even talk about it. You always sound stupid. And usually just reinforce stupid misconceptions about it. Besides, you’ll probably be drinking and hittin’ the bong in a year or so. I’ve seen it a thousand times…
I’m sxe and I actually don’t even like sxe people (besides my friends).
And for the record, referring to straight edge as a lifestyle is pretty silly. It’s like calling atheism a religion or health a disease.
Anyways, as a “straight-edge” follower myself (and a vegetarian, to boot), a big fuck you to anyone pushing their values and “superior morality” to anyone who smokes/drinks/promiscuous sex, etc. Doing that doesn’t make us any better than religious bigots and bible thumpers, cut that shit out. We made a choice to not let certain substances into our lives, not to make other people feel bad or use it as a tool to feel better than other people. :tdown:
Also, lol at people getting butthurt when someone makes a thread trying to get to know people who follow their lifestyle. Seriously, anyone who disagrees with sXe coming in here and gettin’ mad shouldn’t have come into this thread in the first place. It’s the internet, let it be, and go post somewhere else. This whole thread idea (sxe gaming lol wut) was flamebait anyways, just avoid threads like these. :lame:
So far everything youve posted sounds like its come from my mouth. From the feeling that straight edge is simply a label of convenience to it being about self control and owning your own actions. Backed 100%
I just wanna point out that alcohol, drugs, and cigarettes are just as accessible to people who are under 21 than 21 and over. I knew a girl on the boards I used to moderate who was sick of the bar scene by the time she had turned 18. She’d been drinking and using drugs since she was 12 years old. I absolutely agree that a lot of people under 21 dont know what they’re talking about but to say that nobody under 21 isnt knowledgeable about drugs and alcohol is just asinine.
Also. a hearty “wut?” to the last comment about it not being a lifestyle. Here it goes.
Wut?
Edit: As far as straight edge bands go everyone should check out Trial. Beyond being edge they’re just an incredibly talented hardcore band with an amazing message. [media=youtube]SjemP3BFGcw&feature=related[/media]
I was at this show and traveled from NY to chicago by car in a day for it haha. Worth it.
Unfortunately when people do things excessive in ANYTHING, it’s not good. (Eating, Working out too much, Couch Potatoes, Gambling, Spending money lavishly on unnecessary shit that they don’t need ). Please do it moderately. Accept society for what it is, don’t discriminate anyone regardless of what their habits are. Just don’t be ignorant about it and avoid assholes. Life.
That’s because those fools didn’t handle their shit correctly and thought they could chase the high if they took more. I’ll sit back and roll one instead.
Backed. The last girl I dated was a smoker and enjoyed weed and drinking on occasion. So long as a person isn’t an idiot and doesn’t overdo things then theres no reason someone who doesn’t do those things can’t get along with them.
