explaining straightedge
KharBevNor:
lol. I read a science fiction novel recently in which humanity had created a method of making any food they wanted artificially: almost every one was, essentially, vegan, finding the idea of eating anything that had been alive revolting.
The authors sly comment on that nature of humanity was that, in this world, the radical marijuana-smoking student fringe were the ones running their own farms and eating natural meat and vegetables.

interesting. was it the authors point that in the end, it was better to go the "natural" way of eating meat and vegetables, or that in the end, there's always going to be people who need to be different?

and yeah, there are a LOT of sxe kids (and i do mean kids. theyre usually younger than 20) who don't have ANY sense of humor about themselves.

There was a discussion on another forum that I'm on where some edge kids went off about people liking to go to bars to see bands and drink while they are there.
"Shut up... You're fifteen. You can't legally drink, smoke, and you shouldn't be having sex."
I really don't care what people believe as long as they aren't assholes about it.
Anyway, nice Jawbreaker reference, and do you ever see Before Braille and Financial Panther out there? They're from the Phoenix area, not edge, but same area.

I dont really have an opinion on the Straight Edge thing... Coz I dont actually know any straight edge people... And havent come across people harrassing me about this sorta thing... I know I wouldnt tolerate that...
But you know, live your life how you wanna, I'll live my life how I wanna, thats all there is to it...
Oh and on the veganism thing... My friend just recently became a vegan... And the way he explained it was sorta like... We're in the position where we dont HAVE to do this... Like we dont HAVE to murder animals to live... I mean I suppose you're right that it doesn't work on a global scale, but as individuals, we can make that choice... especially with all the cruelty to animals that goes on... I hear stories from chicken farms that are just horrible...
I think what actually annoys me, is vegetarians... or worse, Vegetarians who eat fish and chicken?... Whats with that?... I mean fair enough if you do it because you just dont like beef or whatever... But for moral reasons of eating meat? But they still eat chicken?... I know one girl, granted she is 13, but it just annoys the crap outta me... and she makes a big deal out of it too... "OH LOOK AT ME WITH MY CHICKEN BURGER WHILE YOU ALL EAT YOUR STEAKS"... I seriously dont see the difference... Anyway... with vegetarians... Cheese contains like calves something... Bah I'm not an expert obviously... But I really respect the vegan lifestyle... And if I wasnt a poor uni student who doesnt cope well with change, maybe I'd go with it... How hypocritical do I sound... Oh well... Sorry to go all off topic on you.. But the subject really interests me is all...

As far as I remember, Vegans argue that milking cows is akin to rape.
