"And the whole sex thing. Everyone has a different definition. It can be strict - no sex of any nature unless you're married or simply not being promiscuous. Whatever. It's a good way to keep clean and disease free, though and not have to medicate."
Sex has nothing to do with edge.
"I wouldn't call myself straight edge because
A) I don't think it's something you can turn off and on at will (or be born again....)
B) To follow up A, I was heavily involved in things when I was younger that have helped shape me as a person today
C) Also know how to do things in MODERATION! instead of getting beyond trashed like my peers, so if I choose to poison myself, at least I can be smart about it."
Your history is irrelevant.
You are still poisoning yourself.
"I always laugh when the "straight edge" kids are coming into my store to but cigarettes, coffee, and energy drinks. Three legal drugs. All poison.
H YEAH. Have you guys ever met the strict kids who won't even take ibuprofen or vitamins? Wicked annoying. I made the mistake of suggesting it to a kid who had a wicked headache. Boy...I got my head chewed off and then some. Douche."
Kids are obviously not edge.....
And pain medication is irrelevant too, straightedge forbids recreational drugs.
Oh jesus. I was not asking you to pick apart and try to give me counter arguements to something that doesn't need it (and if you do, please do a clear job of your thoughts/edits into the post).
--Take note, I never called my self straight edge, and used bunny ears for the kids who "say" they are, but act "deviantly" to the lifestyle. I know the fucking difference.
I never said sex was a strict part of it, but kept it in there for the benefit of the kids who believe it is (in response to bedlam). Some kids do believe it is, and you will never be able to stop that. I know from years ago on reading up and hanging out with some kids from that scene that it was a big part of who they were. Just because you think the "RULES" say so, doesn't mean someone else thinks the rules might say different in that aspect.
Also, I am not poisoning myself. I stopped that years ago (started younger, ended young). I wouldn't call myself straightedge because of the things I used to be involved in (in regard to the kids who are straightedge except for the weekends, reborne, etc). My history is directly relevant to MY opinions and thoughts.
Not to yours or anyone elses. This is general chit chat. Not Seg has a fucking point to prove forum.
Haha I do the exact same thing when it comes to like, lock picking, computer building, occasional game glitches, you know. My friend would be like, yeah I totally picked the lock on my sisters door lol. And immediately, I say yeah? what did you use? They say.. uh.. a paper clip.. Then I respond with what about your tension wrench? there like what? I'm like raaAAHH BOOOM!!!
Then I kill everyone in the room.
