Straight-Edges

[sublimnial]

Any one ever heard of them? There bastards who jump anyone drinking Alchol or Smoking because the beilive its bad so the jump them! I hate these bastards dose any one else hate them as much as me

P.S. If you don't know who the are check this out by the way i got Reed HS :mad:

[Etrain]

Yes, they're extremely lame.

[mono repin]

Yeah, that maybe one of the more ignorant things I've ever heard. Straight edge kids don't do drugs/alcohol/cigs etc. Assholes are people that jump other people for not being the same. Sometimes straight edgers are assholes, i would say most of the time they have nothing to do with each other. I was straigt-edge for many years, and had plenty of friends who used drugs, and quite frankly i was for legalization etc. I just didn't want that shit in my life.

[forestcouch]

chill out man, i assume your talking about hardcore straight edges, one of my best friends is one and ive never heard of straight edge kids "jumping" other kids for smoking and drinking. dont talk shit about people you know nothing about.

[johnruss2]

their emo bullshit fucks them up more than any drug can

[mono repin]

Again, this has nothing to do with emo. Its a name for a lifestyle choice. That lifestyle being no drugs, period. Most don't even use otc pain killers and such.

yes. exactly. agree with every word.
actually my sister's straight edge (other than the whole... premarital sex part), and she recently found out that I smoke (quote, "are you a fucking STONER?") and she didn't speak to me for a few weeks. she still hates my dad for it. intolerant straight-edgers are why maryjane is still illegal.

[sublimnial]

forestcouch, sorry if i offended you but the ones over here do jump poeple of that being my best friend who is the hospital at the moment. Straight Edges are an extreme porblem where i live.

[sublimnial]

opps i forgot to post the article lol http://rgj.com/news/stories/html/2005/05/30/100693.php

[johnruss2]

i don't really know what to make of that... they are classifying it as a gang? that's kinda strange, I guess they are gangish though

[thatone420kid]

huh wow those bastards... why does everyone always want to get into every ones life like a splinter in your finger!?

[Etrain]

Then she's not a true straight-edge. They believe strictly in No sex and No drugs...no exceptions.

[sublimnial]

Yea, it is a little wierd they don't claim areas but they do tag and jump people

[geoffrowley19]

dman htahst fucked up, sorry to hear subliminiasnklsd ... they're not classifying all straight edgers as gangmebers but they're saying theres a gang called straight edgers or soemthing that go round beating peopel up who smoke or drink...and thats pretty fucking sad...

[johnruss2]

well I'm gonna start beating the shit out of people that aren't smoking and drinking. My gang will be the Roughies

[sublimnial]

Im gonna join the Roughies! lmao

[mono repin]

Ok, I'm going to post once more in this thread and be done with it. I know TONS of straight-edgers. Like I said was one of them myself at one point in time. I never heard of a straight-edger jumping someone. Likewise I never heard of a stoner jumping someone. I'm sure both exist. People are fucked up, but to label an entire "type" of people as violent, just because some asshole is a douche is pretty fucked up.

As a side note, the no sex thing is largely based on the particular group (usually dictated by location) of straight-edgers you are dealing with. None of the straight-edge kids I knew abstained from sex. Kind of like saying a weed-head is someone who trips on shrooms. Sometimes they do, but not everyone.

Hope this clears some things up.

Sorry to hear about your friend sublimnial, also sorry to hear that your area has some fucked up straight-edge kids.

[sublimnial]

Yea, i gusse the kids in my area are just giving straight-edges a bad name but the ones in my area i hate and i want to jump them but then my pot-head side comes over and i realize Karma will work its ways.

[PotSm0key]

People have their right to their own lifestyle choice, but I agree with sub, there are ppl like that at my school, they say stoners are dumbasses just cuz a few in our school have nothing on their mind but weed. So i tell them to fuck off, Im on honour roll and my grades are A's and B's so fuck em, im smarter than them and i smoke usually once a day. Just smoke on fuck what ppl think, this is your life and you do what you want like they do. Peace...SMOKE ON!

Alot of you are really being judgemental. Sometimes straight edge kids are judgemental and are completely prejudice to people that aren't. Those people are morons.

Personally, I LOVE the straight edge concept. Don't disrespect it, it's meant to keep the kids safe.

What it is:
Don't harm yourself with hard drugs, don't let soft drugs cloud your mind, don't get sick or diseases from sex, etc. And lead a healthy life in general.

Is there anything wrong with it? No. The band who started the concept (minor threat) has even said it's okay to have a beer with your friends every once in awhile, and if you break edge, just start back on the right path.

The people who are dicks about it are called hardliners, (they do it because they're elitests).

It started in the 80s when hard drugs were taking over the DC area... and alcohol was becoming popular amongst kids and young adults. Heroin, speed, and all that were available. And of course, some people came along and said "Fuck it! We don't need it! We don't need to risk our minds and bodies for stupid shit!". So they made the pledge essentially.

And about sex, you just can't have casual sex, if you really love the person, or have been with them awhile, then it's okay.

And some people have extended their belief's into veganism, etc.

But it's basically whatever you want to make it.

It's essentially, no casual sex, no drinking to stay healthy and keep your mind right, no drugs to harm you, no bud to slow you down... etc. You can start being edge after a period of alot of drugs, you can become edge again if you mess up... etc

It's a good concept, I'll never look down on it. What's wrong with wanting to be healthy? The only problem is people got shit so twisted with the concept, that they feel like they have to be edge because it's they love the hxc scene, or because they're scared or won't be accepted if they're not. Who knows.

[MoesToking]

PurplePotatos got it right, around here ( austin, TX) sXe kids can be dangerous, although most aren't. The "real" straighedge guys are the ones with tatoos and XXX's all over them. Alot of them opnely carry weapons, butterfly knifes are popular, brass knuckles, and chains. These guy you do not want to fuck with. Here are some pictures of hardcore sxe guys.

Guys with other common sxe tats on them like brass knuckes or other weapons - http://boards.cannabis.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=17055&stc=1

Yeah, but the whole concept of a straight edge band bugs me. The lifestyle does not, people have the right to make their own choices about their own bodies (can you tell I'm pro-choice? lol). But why base a bad around it? Most of the ones I know who actually call themselves straight edgers are dinks. You can be talking to them and they will bring up drugs from a conversation that had nothing to do with them just so they can argue. Most straight edge bands I've heard are whiny and yelling at other people for doing drugs.

Again, a straight edge lifestyle I have no problem with and have many straight edge friends. Just the idea of basing a band around it or being abrasive about it bugs me.

[JSTA]

^^^What a bunch of ass clowns (moes post)

[XTC]

I dont mind sXe people. The ones are all self-righteous and go around looking for us Stoners to beat on, well fuck these pricks, they can rot in hell.

[Reefer Rogue]

^^ True that.

[Kid Dynamite]

my sisters a straight edger, she dosent advertise it though, so im not at all bothered. Shes never told me not to smoke weed or drink, but i do get pissed off by the people who try and tell others what they should and shouldnt do.

[amsterdam]

they could at least have the balls to be real skin-heads,Romper Stomper style!!

[rhino44]

they look like a bunch of fags to me. where i live those douschbags would be the ones getting their ass beat.

[formethisisheaven]

Then she's not a true straight-edge. They believe strictly in No sex and No drugs...no exceptions.True.

[forestcouch]

it's cool, it's just i hang out with some guys who are straight edge and people are always like DUDE I FUCKING HATE STRAIGHT EDGES THEY KICK YOUR ASS FOR SMOKING POT when its just not true, at least in my area. we cool my man, lets smoke a bowl :D

[maryjanemama]

I stopped going to my tattooist over a silly thing regarding him being straightedge and me not. He's not the type to throw it in your face or anything, in fact it was about a year before I figured it out. But after a while, he starting getting pissier and pissier and bitchy about me smoking weed.

The last time I went was with a friend, the tat was not for me, but he still looked me in the eye, like he was checking to see if they were red. Then he made that tssk sound with his tongue. I already have a mom, I don't need that shit. That was the end of it for me, and I haven't been back since, although I do still think he's total hotness.

Yeah fuck that! I don't associate with people who are not openminded and accepting of people the way they are. Who is to say that their views are better than anyone else's? Oh and Amsterdam, being a skinhead has nothing to do with being a racist. There are many non-nazi, mixed race skinheads, me being one of them. The skinhead movement was started by working class individuals white and black. :)

[Az.]

their emo bullshit fucks them up more than any drug can
HAHAHAHAHAHA.....LMFAO

[jonny]

It's all the annoying factors of christians but without the religion, although its usually there with most straight edgers.

CRazy about them jumping people and beating them up for not being straight edge, god dickheads, makes me well angry thinking about it!!


I'd beat the fucking crap out of them.

Jonny

[Sentinel]

i never heard of this before this thread but i guarantee if there were any in my area they would get stomped the fuck out

[fuzzyblue]

i have heard of straight edge people jumping people who were doing something that they didn't approve of i can see how a group of them who go around beating up others and tagging can be called a gang even if they arn't one

[GHoSToKeR]

Wow... so these people are Straight Edge with a capital S and E? Weird. I mean, i've heard of the expression before I think, but not as an actual title or name like this... And now they're a gang that beat the crap out of people that smoke and drink and shit? Holy fucking bananas, some people are crazy.

[Nochowderforyou]

Any one ever heard of them? There bastards who jump anyone drinking Alchol or Smoking because the beilive its bad so the jump them! I hate these bastards dose any one else hate them as much as me

P.S. If you don't know who the are check this out by the way i got Reed HS :mad:

Ya, you bet I've heard of these fuckers. About 4 years ago, me and my 2 other buddies were smoking a joint and one of them approched me. He said something like, "That is bad for you, and Jesus has a pian he wants me to heal for you" :confused: I was like, WHAT!? Then CRACK! Right in the side of my face he hit me. I was shocked, very shocked. To make a long story short, we beat all 3 of the to a bloody pulp. Punk ass fuckers! Go back to your AA class and leave me the fuck alone.

Nice one! You must be on good terms with your tattoo artist, or they can make things extremely painful for you. They can still make your tattoo look good, but they can make it hurt like a fucker.

[kr0nicmike]

HAHA this whole thing reminds me of ozzfest. I dont know why all those faggots go there but i was smoking a Jay and one of em(bout half my size, but im bout 6'3") comes up to me and is like "hey man put that out right now or ill kick your ass" HA i just took another puff then took him out with ye old right fist, little fucker deserved it. Then later when all the little emo ass "hardcore" kids were having their little circle pit(just running around punching and kicking air) with about 20 of them, me and bout 5 other of the biggest mutherfuckers eva took em all out and started a real fuckn pit...and then i got waaaaaaaaaaaaayyyyyyyyyyyyy 2 stoned.

[Nullific]

The sXe movement is essentially a counter movement to this "peer pressure" bullshit the government fed into young innocent minds. I don't understand how anybody could just hate a substance, a fucking chemical so much that they would harm any users of that substance and probably incur more damage than the substance itself. Then there is the whole controversy of what makes a drug unsuitable for human consumption. Caffeine and acetaminophen for example are not generally considered 'drugs' though they both kill more people yearly than marijuana, mushrooms and LSD ever have combined.
Such simple facts are not recognized by our government nor even suggested in health or drug awareness classes.
I know some 'straight-edge' dudes that dont seem to express such hate, I can even joke about blazing with some of them. Having read the lyrics of some proclaimed 'sXe' bands I must question their intent or whatever it is that inspires them to loathe substances they have not tried and know virtually nothing about.
