explaining straightedge
24_hour_revenge_therapy:
first off, no, tea sucks, you crumpet munching bastards :).
secondly, well, yeah. you kill things no matter what. i just killed thousands upon millions of microscopic organisms by BREATHING. that's unavoidable. i like washing my hair. clean smells attract girls. my problem is not with killing, or death. that is a natural thing. my problem is with the factory farming and the dairy industry. my problem is with the ecological rape that both of these industries perform on a daily basis. my problem is that, in the end, their methods are NOT natural, and in fact help to hurt the very people that they serve. i have always stated that if we were to ever go back to a hunter/gatherer society, then i would happily eat meat again. but, seeing as that's not going to happen, i'm gonna be vegan.
third, you made a pretty strong anti-edge statement, but didn't really give any reasons why you didn't like sxe. you railed mainly against veganism. why do you dislike straightedge?
Robbo:
*Chips in*
Straight Edgers suck because I get called one evertime I tell someone I dont drink, smoke or do drugs. It's mainly the not drinking thing. Lots of people seem to think I'm sXe rather than think I just dont drink because I dont want to.
24_hour_revenge_therapy:
yeah. that sucks. being labeled something that your not is never, ever fun. personally, though, i hate the reaction i get when i'm hanging out with people who DO drink, and i tell them that i DON'T. they get all...twitchy. like i'm calling them terrible people. kind of makes me wonder if they have some latent guilt about drinking, and if they do, why. it's just wierd.
Johnny C:
I don't smoke, drink, do drugs, or sleep around. I do, however, consider hardcore dancing to be "retarded," to put it politely.
Also, hardline straight-edgers are assholes.
nickyandthefuture:
I don't smoke, drink, do drugs, or whatever. I'm also a vegan. I don't see how the two things have anything to do with each other.
With the drinking thing, it's really never been a problem - if someone offers me a beer, I say, "no, thanks." That's pretty much the end of it. I don't expect anyone to suck my dick because of the things I don't do.
People get a little weird about meat, but not being an asshole makes even the most awkward social events navigable. Also, I've talked about the vegan thing on this board before, so I'm not going to bore everyone by going into it again...
