Patatat:
I wasn't trying to offend you that was a joke. Which I didn't care to put a Just Kidding into.


And, thats odd. Because according to the "COURAGE CREW" (aka royal fucktards) you're not straight edge, if you have caffeine in your system. Nothing that alters your mind.

haha.  i love good clean fun.  as for MY crew, we just basically keep a watch on our scene.  we try to keep bad people out, and we protect any hardcore kid that needs it.  ANY hardcore kid, sxe or not.  that's what we try to do.  we don't always succeed, and we do have our detractors, but i think in the end, we do a lot of good.  meh, i'm kinda sentimental.

No, being straight edge has always been about abstaining from recreational drugs. There were some people in early bands who were/said they were (however you want to cut it) edge and didn't, but the idea was always abstinance really for those who made it into a movement/lifestyle (in other words, not Ian Mackaye).

A question then... what the hell does a crew do, and where did you shop for it?

a pack of wolves:
So how do you define a 'bad' person then?

Patatat:
You guys should meet the courage crew, they do just the opposite.

They give the scene round here a bad name.

ok, ok, sorry.  look, you seem to have a LOT of anger towards sxe kids.  did something happen to you?  it sounds like you had a run in with some of them that didn't really end well.

as for courage crew, well, that's their definition.  they're a little more hardline.  but it's just ONE definition of sxe.  the main tenants of no drinking, no smoking/drugs, and no promiscous sex are the important ones.  i have friends that don't ingest caffeine or take over the counter drugs.  and i respect that decision, just as they respect my decision to continue drinking caffeine and taking tylenol.  it's really all about choice.  

and i would like to point out that i have a few friends in courage crew.  theyre nice guys.  we disagree on a lot of points, but we respect each other.  cool, huh?:)
