ok, we'll start with you.
because, and i'm gonna explain this one, that's how we dance.
hardcore kids don't mosh the same way a metal kid does. they have a more laid back, push push shove shove type thing. punk kids kinda do that, with a slam or a pogo thrown in. we like to throw kicks. punches. i have one friend that cartwheels into crowds. call it adrenaline. call it masochism. hell if i know. i'm not into it, but honestly, theres no anger attached to it. i've been knocked fucking senseless by my best friend. it happens. if you don't wanna get hit, just stay away from the pit. it's that simple.

Sod leaving a better world for your grandchildren, theres far too much money to be made by raping hte world, so why fight it. Truly, apathy is a wonderful thing, well, more like realism really but it amounts to basically the same thing.
I've never understood the whole straight edge thing, seems like denying yourself pleasure for the visceral thrill of feeling superior to other people who are, you know, so much less aware of the worlds plight and the dangers of alcohol, drugs and sex than you are. Feck off, I'm perfectly aware thank you very bloody much, which is part of the reason I indulge.
Like anything really, keep it to yourself and don't bother me with it and I'm ok with it, but the moment someone start to try forcing their lifestyle and/or beliefs on me I start to get very, very twitchy indeed and hippy ass
vegan killjoys seem to be among the worst people for doing that. Right up there with fundamentalist religous nuts. And those people who raise their children to be vegans and then freak out when their kids eat a burger at school. Ignoring the probably dicey quality of the burger for a moment, if your childs chosen to eat it then fuck off and leave them alone, it's not like they've decided to become a neo-nazi or something. Parents have actually sued schools for that, it's absurd.
ahem, I'm done.

ok, so, you basically say that you hate it when sxe kids/vegans start shoving their ideals down your throat.
MAN do i agree with you.
that is the most fucked up thing ANYONE can do. yeah, i'm sxe, yeah, i'm vegan. i'm proud to be both. i honestly think that both are the best way's to live life. but, in the end, that's MY opinion. how you live your life is up to you, and if you do it differently, and your happy, and your not hurting anyone else, then more power to you.
and, just to get this out of the way, one of my favorite things to do is to go and hang out in a pub with my sister. play cards. i just drink coffee, and she drinks alcohol. so, yeah, there's nothing wrong with that.
jeph:
I think we can all agree that coffee is awesome.
IF YOU DO NOT AGREE THAT COFFEE IS AWSOME I WILL RAIN DEATH DOWN UPON YOU

Given that I don't listen to any hardcore or punk or anything like that I haven't really had much experience with these straight edge kids. So, I don't really care. I guess as long as they aren't being dicks about it then it's all good.
in fact, I've got just concocted an amazing theory. It's not good when crap like this becomes your defining characteristic. It's always when people decide to define themselves through something like straightedge, or christianity, that they become dicks about it. That's the difference between "I don't eat animal products" and "I'm Vegan".
Yeah.
On a side note, I might have been acosted by a straightedge kid once, in line for a Hip-Hop gig, suprisingly enough. Quannum it was. This guy just came up to me and started telling me to stop drinking and smoking (I was doing neither) because they made people violent. He was getting really angry about it and stuff. I don't actually know if he was straightedge, so he might have just been crazy.

oh, i agree with you. like i said in an earlier post, straightedge is a characteristic that i define myself by, not my defining characteristic. there's all sorts of other interesting things about me that make me me. it's just that i've got sxe stuff tattooed all over me, so that's the one i seem to talk about the most...oh well.
and i'd say that guy was just crazy. CRAZY LIKE A FOX!!!
ok, that made no sense.
