The idea of "straight Edge" is actually a very beautiful, it shows complete control and total will power over your body . Its a wonderful thing if you are in it for the right reasons. I unfortunatly wasnt and resulted in breaking my edge of 4 years. im a bit of a smoker, its a bad habbit and very addictive. however, i still have much respect for ( Read more... )

Why? Because it's funny to make fun of people who take themselves too seriously. I DO often need to be drunk to have a good time, because I'm extremely introverted, but I don't like keeping to myself all the damn time. I feel no shame about it, I have much better things to be ashamed of.

how do these people take themselves too seriously?
is it by just finding something else to do that doesnt include drinking or getting high?

i dont think its funny, its like making fun of someone because of their nationality or culture.

whats REALLY funny is how you hear about edge kids kicking the shit out out of non-edge kids for running their mouths or blowing smoke in their face but ya never really hear the vice versa of it.

in the end talk is cheap.

Yes, talk is cheap, and that's what we do here, man. I find it kind of ridiculous to take your edgeness seriously. It's like, good for you. If you want to preach, preach about something more relevant than the virtues of temperance. Have you ever considered a career in the Lighten Up Corps? Really, have a sense of humour about yourself. Don't be a dick. Find something better to be proud of than what you refrain from putting into your body. (My body is a temple, but it has a severe vandalism problem. Goddamn kids breaking in at ungodly hours, writing profane, insipid graffiti everywhere, leaving empty whiskey bottles and cigarette butts and roaches and used condoms all over the pews.)

kids make fun of edge kids with their buddies because edge kids are usually assholes to anyone who isn't edge.

they disrespect a culture that disrespects their culture. everyone has a different lifstyle. but edge kids can't respect the "drug culture". and then they expect everyone to be down with them. i'm down with edge kids that are in it for the right reasons, which is themselves. not edge kids that are in it just to talk down to me because i don't live my life the way they do.

and it's not so much a question of will power. its not an addiction, although unfortunatly for some people it is. some people would just prefer being high.

but i agree, if you're edge for the right reasons, and if you respect other peoples lifestyles, then you do deserve to be respected. because being edge is a respectable thing, as long as you don't walk around with your nose up at shows because you think it makes you any better than a pot smoker.

you know
i became edge because i thought it would have a positive impact in my life.
but it hasn't. being edge is just another trend.
and edge people are real assholes about it. i haven't met them 'nice edge kids' you speak of.
im tired of having people tell me what's edge and whats not.
i don't need 3 x's to tell me what to do with my life.

no no no its not a trend! so is religion a trend?

and i have yet to meet those "real assholes" you speak of.

when it comes down to it being straigh edge is a personal thing. no one should tell you how to be edge, but if you are. you should mean it.

and your right you dont need those 3x's to tell you what to do in life

So in saying that edge poeple have class, are you saying that un edge people dont?
Because thats jsut rediculous.

You can get drunk every now and then and still have class.
You can smoke a bowl and have class.
You can have sex with your boyfriend/girlfriend husband/wife and still have class.
Not everyone that is not straight edge goes around gets drunk and high and then goes and has sex.
Your not straight edge if you drink coffee, you not striaght edge if you drink pop. Not everyone thats not straight edge does the kind of things that you sterotype them as. Just like the un edge kids sterotype edge as pissy kids with X's on their hands that look at you like your shit.

im not saying that at all.

im pointing out that they do is all, i never once said hey if you drugs and blahbalhblah you have no class. that was an assumption on your part

and you can have sex with a boyfriend, girlfriend,husband or wife when your edge. its the friendly fucks and one night stands that are no no's.

"...being straight edge isnt saying that your better than anyone, or tougher than anyone, its simply saying that you have your head straight and dont need to be high or drunk or even lower yourself to having sex with a random person to have a good time."

Ahh, amen to that.
