[QUOTE=coheneran]Not according to the book The Philosophy Of Punk, but I don't gave it here and I can't be bothered to start a source war, so let's agree it was both.[/QUOTE]

Actually it's common knowledge that Mackaye started Straight Edge, the name came from a Minor Threat song. But I'll let sleeping dogs lie.

[QUOTE=SkaBandit]Actually no, edge started when Ian Mackaye returned home to Washington D.C after living in California where his dad was going to college. All his friends had turned into stoner druggies, so instead of following the crowd so to speak, he rebelled against it. And thus straight edge was born.[/QUOTE]

No completely but that's the basic gist of it.

So is filling your self with chemicals so you can have a good time.

They were considered 'hardcore' when they first came about, because it was harder then usual punk.

i thought all the CKY, Viva La Bam, and Jackass was funny as sh[U]i[/U]t. I have nothig against him.

Ok.. I know this arguement is overdone.. but what's wrong with that? You put chemicals into your body when you eat your favorite food, and you are enjoying that. You could be eating celery or carrots, but you'd rather eat the juicy, tasty hamburger, because it's good and delicious to you, and good taste is fun. And fun is having a good time.

And it is makign you fat.

You can have fun takign a walk around your neighborhood Nick, but you sit infront of your computer screen. Both are fun, but one is a lot more healthier than the other.

EXACTLY. I don't eat meat, but I totally get what you're saying.

I need to think of a name that involves "Post-apocalyptic"

Post-apocalyptic "something"

What will that something be...

I'm talking about people who HAVE to drink or smoke to have fun. I know I don't have healthy habits, no one really does. I'm not even sure I'm edge anymore. I don't like the label after thinking about it. But I'm still committed to not doing drugs, and I'm going to stay that way. You like doing drugs, and I'm not going to change you. I was wrong in condemning people for occasional use. I'm not going to do drugs, and would hope you don't want to make me change and can at least respect someone's decision. In the end we are all still 6 feet under.

I don't smell...

Actually, I wouldn't take a walk around my neighbourhood unless I was threatened with a knife. Actually no, I'd only take a walk around here if I was threatened with a gun. I get enough knives in my neighbourhood :p.

hey does anyone play wacraft?

[COLOR="LemonChiffon"]Well, I smoke cancer-inducing cigarettes and drink liver-eating alcohol. So I'm not edge. But I am against any drug that does not come directly from a plant. Like, for instance: pot is OK (even though I don't), but speed is a no. And, in the extremes, cocaine is OK (even though I don't), but Motrin is a no. I don't take Motrin, nor do coke, nor smoke pot. But, basically, in my belief system, the only drugs I could do are: pot, shrooms, coke, tobacco, alcohol. Narcotics don't count as coming from a plant, because, even though they do, man has to alter the sap chemically to make it. Pot and shrooms you dry, coke you soak, mash up and dry, and alcohol you brew.

After all this, I still only smoke cigs (which I'm taking serious thought into quitting) and drink, very very occasionally, and not to get drunk.



P.S: This color is Lemon Chiffon. I simply liked the name.[/COLOR]

i agree, man made drugs are not on the to do list, pot is the only thing besides alcohol that indulge in.
