Some of my friends are straightedge, most of them drink. I'd like to say it's because we "all respect eachothers choices" but the fact of the matter is nobody cool gives a shit as long as you're having fun. |

YOU WEAR YOUR FUCKING X's WITH PRIDE!!! |
| _____________________________________ [Jul 9,2006 3:38pm - nickyhelliot ""] Why the hell beat the shit out of people drinking if you don't believe in it. That's like every single very unpopular organized group in the past (I.E. Nazi's, KKK). I choose not to drink or do drugs or sleep around but it doesn't mean I'm going to Xbeat the shit out of everyoneX. Hey that sounds like a good band name. SXE MBERS ONLY PLZ. |
| ___________________________________ [Jul 9,2006 3:43pm - RichHorror ""] Everyone in this thread who believes this guy is for real is a fucking moron that should be killed. |
| _________________________________ [Jul 9,2006 3:47pm - XtoughX ""] We beat the hell out of people for drinking because it is disrespectful to OUR scene. How can you equate us to Nazi's or the Klan? Losers drinking and doing drugs are not doing so because they have no choice. People who are black, jewish, hispanic are born as is. Furthermore, those "unpopular organized groups" were embraced during their time by millions. Beer swilling Germans killed the jews. Whiskey drinking rednecks lynched the blacks. If you are indeed straightedge you really need to open your eyes. No revolution has ever succeeded without violence. |
| _____________________________________ [Jul 9,2006 3:49pm - nickyhelliot ""] Unneeded violence does nothing but piss people off. I actually don't label myself straightedge because it's just a clothing line now. |
| _____________________________________ [Jul 9,2006 3:52pm - nickyhelliot ""] PS if you made good music people would listen to it and get the message. Throwing fists isn't a good way to keep people off drugs. |

| _________________________________ [Jul 9,2006 4:13pm - XtoughX ""] I've been hardline straightedge for over 10 years now. Throwing fists is a great way to keep people off of drugs. That's not what we're trying to do though. We're trying to keep them out of OUR scene. |

No revolution has ever succeeded without violence. if what you say is true... what "revolution" did the rednecks acheive through their blatantly racist ignorance? amazing that the only "revolution" that you listed that actually "succeeded" was the holocaust... and even then it was short lived because they got their shit pushed in. so... if you're going to try to show how correct and purposeful something is... get your comparisons and analogies and whatever else you need to do so straight or else you will look like a huge tool... well... a bigger one than usual. |

First you don't achieve a revolution, you start a revolution or participate in one. You are having a problem with your logic. A revolution can only bring about true change through violence. Blood must be shed. If an individual commits an act of violence it does not mean they are taking part in a revolution. Rednecks were not part of a revolution. A revolution is happens when a group rallies to end injustice or harm being brought upon the human condition. Rednecks were not trying to change society. They were trying to "preserve" their way of life. Society already hated blacks and the lynchings were a byproduct of hate. Second, the holocaust was not a revolution. The revolution was the nazis trying to being about societal change and better the lives of their fellow Germans who lived in poverty following WWI. Unfortunately, during such revolutions often groups are scapegoated and the purpose of the revolution can be shielded. The holocaust was an unfortuante and unnecessary byproduct of the German nationalist movement during WWII. |

If you are indeed straightedge you really need to open your eyes. No revolution has ever succeeded without violence. You're probably just talking shit, and beat nobody up. One day, you will not be straightedge anymore. Neither will the vast majority of straightedge people you know. On that day, I'd ask that you look back and re-evaluate statements like the one you made above. |
| _________________________________ [Jul 9,2006 4:57pm - XtoughX ""] Yes, you are absolutely correct. We never commit any acts of violence. That would be wrong and against the law. Straightedge for life. I am now 26 and have been straightedge for 10 years. |
| ________________________________ [Jul 9,2006 5:02pm - XtoughX ""] Oh, and why did you have to edit your post? Not sure what you stand for? |
| _____________________________________ [Jul 9,2006 5:22pm - nickyhelliot ""] Why is so much violence put towards not being straightedge? The whole "STRAIGHT EDGE OR DIE" bull shit is really old. I'm all for it because I fall under all the categories and I've been supporting it for quite a few years now but I'm real tired of the bull shit behind all the "tough guys". All this wicked broxcore shit is retarded. It's like you guys are trying to scare people into doing it which is totally contradicting everything else most hardcore is all about. Don't get me wrong, I'm 100% for what straightedge is, but I'm not going to assault people who make different choices than me. |

After the show ended and 300+ straightedge kids filed out of the show there was this guy standing in the doorway with 6 six pack of beer in one hand and an open bottle in his other hand. everyone walked past him and minded their own business... because straightedge is for yourself. |

I have no problem with someone being straightedge, but it's a fact that about 100% of the straightedge crowd will break it. I've known people who were sXe for 10 years plus and still broken it. As far as not committing acts of violence, good. |

| _________________________________ [Jul 10,2006 2:43am - XtoughX ""] Let me dumb this down a bit. 1. Rednecks lynching is not a revolution. It is an act of violence by a dominant group over a subordinate group. Nat Turner's rebellion was a revolution. It was the subordinate group striking back against the oppressive dominant group. 2. Genocide of a race is not a revolution. It is mass murder. 3. Committing a violent act does not automatically mean you are part of a revolution. Shooting your neighbor because you do not like him is not the start of a revolution. 4. A revolution is a means to an end (i.e. American Revolution to free the colonies from British oppression). 5. No revolution has been successful without the use of violence. 6. A revolution can fail miserably, but still be considered a revolution (i.e. the French Revolution. What started out as a revolution against the tyranny of the king turned into tyranny itself. It was indeed successful at first then the revolutionaries began committing the same acts which they initially were fighting against). 7. You do not know what the word revolution means or what it entails. A revolution is a drastic change that usually occurs relatively quickly. This may be a change in the social or political institutions over a relatively short period of time, or a major change in its culture or economy. Some revolutions are led by the majority of the populace of a nation, others by a small band of revolutionaries. Compare rebellion. 8. How am I not really straightedge? How can you say that? My views are different than other straightedgers so that automatically makes me wrong? 9. My IQ is definitely above 20. If it were that low I would be living on the North Shore. 10. C is for cookie and now I am done with your sir. Good day! |

Some revolutions are led by the majority of the populace of a nation, others by a small band of revolutionaries. Compare rebellion. Bringing this back to a straightedge discussion... In what way is 'straightedge' a revolution? There have been people who abstained from drugs and alcohol for thousands of years. The difference between themselves and the 'straightedge' scene is that they don't need to put a label on their personal decisions and try to intimidate others. They are comfortable as individuals with their health choices. Also, how could such a revolution succeed when the rate of inevitable edge breaking is close to 100%? How many people are actually going to remain straightedge for life in our country? 50? Maybe 100? Walk into a single bar on a Friday night and there could be 3-5x that many people. There is no revolution. Just idealist shit-talking. To strive for acceptance into a sub-cultural clique is not rebellion. It is conformity. Not everyone who has a drink is an alcoholic, and not everyone who takes a toke is a pothead. The fact that moderates exist (and they outnumber addicts by a vast margin) disproves the necessity for a straightedge philosophy. |

| _________________________________ [Jul 10,2006 10:17am - xmikex ""] In my experiences though I've generally (but with plenty of exceptions) found 3 distinct reactions to straightedge from girls: The Mouthy Straightedge Girl: Hey look it's XPhyllisX. She's totally straightedge and will never let you forget it. The X key on her keyboard is worn down to nothing. She'll toss someone a frowny face for smoking in public. She'll get $1,000 worth of obnoxious tattoos. She'll try to convert her friends to straightedge. The icing on the cake is (you guessed it) she found out about Youth of Today last week, downloaded "Firestorm" on her Ipod, and will be passed out drunk on her 22nd birthday. The "I just don't get it" girl: She's barely 21 and just "doesn't get" why you don't want to drink. "I don't get it... I mean you don't ever even FEEL like drinking? Not ever?? What about vodka?.... peppermint shnops?... martinis?... cocktails?... skrewdrivers??.... not even a Coors Light?" She's totally astonished by it, and at the same time resents you for it because she thinks you're judging her. She'll get totally fall down shitfaced drunk in front of you and then get mad at you for being the only sober kid in the room. She won't say anything to your face but she's way too much of a bigmouth to keep anything to herself, and way too drunk to be slick about it. The "Oh...Good for you" Girl: This is the girl that doesn't really get it but thinks it sounds like something she SHOULD respect. She probably confuses it with some kind of a church thing and thinks she's obligated to tell you how super it is that you don't drink. She'll tell you that she "wishes she could do that" and that you should totally "be proud of yourself" for being such a good person. Both of which are absurd because A. neither one of you give a shit what she does with her life B. being straightedge alone will never in a billion years make you a good person. C. She can't wait to get drunk and railed by the lacrosse team and you both know it. |

If you dislike drugs and alcohol, why not simply abstain from drugs and alcohol? Why does this behavior require a sub-culture? I know plenty of people who abstain from one or the other, or both, and do not require an X symbol to justify their choices. What is there to prove? Is there such a thing as a Drunk Brigade? I just don't get it. |

I think it's more of a social commentary then an in your face kind of thing (for sincere straightedge kids at least). I mean alcohol is everywhere: billboards, television commercials, parties, just about every concievable social event there is. Alcohol is kind of looked upon as part of this natural progression in life: you look up to your parents drinking alcohol when you're young, you crave it when you're a teenager, and then it becomes the centerpeice of your life when you're older. People pretty much assume you drink, assume you want to drink, assume you're down with getting high weather you actually do or not. Having a subculture with a name is a way of showing that something else exsists, there there's another way of life besides just the normal perceived progression towards drugs and alcohol. |

It is an act of violence by a dominant group over a subordinate group. Nat Turner's rebellion was a revolution. It was the subordinate group striking back against the oppressive dominant group. 2. Genocide of a race is not a revolution. It is mass murder. 3. Committing a violent act does not automatically mean you are part of a revolution. Shooting your neighbor because you do not like him is not the start of a revolution. 4. A revolution is a means to an end (i.e. American Revolution to free the colonies from British oppression). 5. No revolution has been successful without the use of violence. 6. A revolution can fail miserably, but still be considered a revolution (i.e. the French Revolution. What started out as a revolution against the tyranny of the king turned into tyranny itself. It was indeed successful at first then the revolutionaries began committing the same acts which they initially were fighting against). 7. You do not know what the word revolution means or what it entails. A revolution is a drastic change that usually occurs relatively quickly. This may be a change in the social or political institutions over a relatively short period of time, or a major change in its culture or economy. Some revolutions are led by the majority of the populace of a nation, others by a small band of revolutionaries. Compare rebellion. 8. How am I not really straightedge? How can you say that? My views are different than other straightedgers so that automatically makes me wrong? 9. My IQ is definitely above 20. If it were that low I would be living on the North Shore. 10. C is for cookie and now I am done with your sir. Good day! again... you missed my point and just pissed all over the toilet seat of reading comprehension. go have an XtuffX tea party... or does caffeine get your panties in a bunch too? |

| ___________________________________________ [Jul 10,2006 10:57pm - Josh Martin NLI ""] A bunch of years ago, the guys who do the Syracuse Hardcore fest (which was held in Auburn, NY that year) booked AC to play for the sole intention of pissing everyone off. Long story short, it worked. Really really worked. That area is ridiculous with straightedge and PC people. At the house we stayed at, the morning of the show I walked down the street to get a hamburger. I got it to go and brought it back to the house. One of the kids who lived looked at me in horror and asked "Is that a REAL hamburger?" I answered "yes". At that point I didn't realize what kind of a scene I was in yet. Later I opened the freezer to throw in a bottle of vodka and it was chock full of veggie burgers and crap like that. If everyone has their own personal Hell when they die, I will end up in Syracuse. |
