that shitty show on national geographic influenced this thread.

anyone here used to be straight edge? or still is straight edge? i was, once upon a time, a judge listening straight edge kid. i never beat anyone up though.

i do have a straight edge tattoo also.

[pbradley]

I didn't have a clue about straight edge until after I was a well seasoned stoner/drunkard. Song's still cool, though.

[batreleaser]

ive got nothing against leaving a clean and healthy lifestyle, but the term straight edge i think is lame. you dont see people who do drink going around going "im hard edge". i mean, theres so many more things to someone to identify themself as, why pigeonhold yourself as 'straight edge'. and those mega straight edge dudes who dont even fuck, thats just stupid. sex is good for the soul.

[Anngella]

The few "straight edge" people I've met have made exceptions when it comes to sex. Figures.

almost all the straight edgers i knew loved to have sex. especially when not in a relationship. i never got that. i had sex though when i was in a relationship with someone, when i was edge.

now that i'm older i wonder why people still call themselves straight edge but when you're in your teens you usually identify with some sort of subculture. be it jock, punk, frat, indie, goth, emo and so on. but after a certain age you shouldn't need to go around calling yourself straight edge. you're just trying to relive your glory days or "salad days", by doing so. i also thought it was weird when 30 year old guys will be at shows where the crowd was mostly 16-20. i really thought it was weird when they would get blow jobs from the girls that were that much younger than them.

fuck no.

i like getting fucked up when i want to.

i find all dogmatic creeds laughable. being raised catholic was enough. why the fuck would i want another bullshit set of don'ts?

puritans can eat it.

I don't smoke, I don't take drugs, I don't even drink alcohol - and that's a choice. I don't care about sex, as for the moment I have no partner. But I don't consider myself as straight edge really, I don't want to close my mind to a certain philosophy, I prefer being free - IMO I'm more free than people smoking,taking drugs, drinking alcohol, and are compelled to do it since they are addicted

[Norma J]

I always hear the phrase 'I was' when in the same sentence as 'straight edge'.

well yeah that makes better sense than praying to st. mackaye, but still, not everyone who smokes/drinks/takes drugs is an addict.

i am addicted to cigarettes, so i don't smoke.

but i'm not addicted to alcohol so i drink when i want.

funny thing that in AA they smoke like a motherfucker, or so i hear.

you sound like a right barrell of laughs

[SYRFox]

Wot?

[pbradley]

I don't smoke cigarettes because that was pretty much the only thing my mom told me to never do. Pot, LSD, fine in her book but she used to be a smoker and said she would never want that on her children.

But of course I tried it until I found the appeal and then stopped.

Okay. No, I know you don't drink. Just forgot, that's all. But if you ever change your mind... No? Okay.

like, no.

i'm drunk right now.

I went through a a really short phase of ignoring the cigarette in my mouth, the cock up my bum and the pint in my hand.

[_slavo_]

The few straight edge fellas I've met were all very cool. However, I hated the fact that all the gigs organized by this bunch of guys were strictly non-smoker ones and the only drink you could buy there was lemonade. Which was kind of lame and anti-do-as-you-please. A bit discriminating, if you please.

[jon boy]

there is always something unsettling about striahgt edgers and i cant quite put my finger on it.

[NWRA]

I've never understood those people who don't drink.

It's an easily-accessible, affordable stimulent which, when used in moderation, can merrily enhance just about every experience - and some people think they're clever for not having it?

I work with one, and he can often be heard shouting 'Ive got a coffee rush! Woooh!' on a morning, which makes me want to punch him in the face for several reasons.
