Also, take note, many of us have a sense of humor.
I can't stand elitists of any kind, man. They're annoying.

It's not a thing that you are on and off. it was a joke most of you ers only think your straight edge because you idolize some over glorified asshoe who wrestles and that my children, is real talk. For me I've never considered smoking, drinking or doing drugs but I didn't know it had a name until CM Punk. I became a Minor Threat fan eventually so I would've found out sooner or later.

Just out of curiosity, is one who is straight edge against all forms of drug use or just recreational drug use? For example if you have a headache will you take an Advil or just tough it out. How about if you have summer allergies and require to take a Claritin or if a doctor gives you pain pills for recovery of some sort of surgery or do you just tough it out. Good on you for being drug and drink free I don't really use medications like that, no. Let's put it this way. I was given Vicodin for my hand surgery, had a plate and screws put it when I broke my hand. I threw them away. I was given Vicodin when I had a broken tooth extracted, threw them away. If they gave me a "you legs won't work unless you take this pill in the morning" medication because I have the world's stupidest disease, more often than not, I'll take that medicine, haha. Certain days I wouldn't take it, though. Lazy days. Or "Oh, sorry, can't make it into work, leg pills, they're out." Hahahaha Oh OK I get it, thanks.

You're not true straight edge unless you also listen to the music. I hate responses like this.

You can have knowledge of it, but not listening to it doesn't make you any less straight edge. Not saying I'm straight edge, but I know people who are and don't listen to punk music, but do know where the whole movement originated from.

You also don't put yourself under the umbrella, so why do you care? There are people who believe in god and follow the Christian beliefs. A few things have been dropped from the old book (slavery, etc). Does that mean they're not Christian?

I only don't label myself that because I don't listen to the music. I don't drink, smoke or do drugs. So I guess I'm straight edge too then.

I don't understand why people that don't drink, smoke or do drugs have to give themselves a label. It just seems like elitist "I'm better than you" bullsh*t to me. There's a lot of elderly individuals that don't do any of that stuff but they don't go around giving themselves unnecessary assinine labels. They just say that's not their thing and that's it. Why the need for a label? Simple, it makes those that use it feel superior to those that don't. It's ing intellectually- disabled plain and simple.

straight edge is a SUB CULTURE. i know nothing of it, but i would assume if you LABEL yourself that, you kinda have to fall under the umbrella of that SUB CULTURE. correct me if i'm wrong, because i prolly am, LOL.

Christians are not bound by every law in the Bible. Something being practice in Biblical times and recorded in the Bible doesn't make it applicable to Christians today.

Everything of origin doesn't need to be played out for you to fall under your respective umbrella is all I'm saying.

No, you described it as being "dropped" as if Christians dismissed it due to it being so impractical. If that's what you implied then no, it's no accurate. It wasn't dropped. It was never a "law" or "rule" that Christians had to follow to begin with. If that's not what you meant then I apologize.

I don't do drugs or smoke and I've maybe drank enough to fill a shot glass. I don't consider myself Straight Edge because I hate that term. The fact that a person chooses to not do those things doesn't need a name.

As an addict to caffeine, I agree completely. We all have our vices. I actually look down on people who label themselves and build up the fact that they're "straight edge" Be you, without promoting it and labeling it. Its a gimmick at that point, and that gets no respect Like being a real *****. Number one rule of being a real *****: Don't go around talking about how much of a real ***** you are. You should know it, but not tell it.

I am straight edge for personal reasons, I don't drink, smoke & do illegal drugs. I've tried booze and didn't care for it and I've tried smoking and it sucked. I've never tried a hard drug like weed, coke and others. I get offered booze and I say I am on medication for my type 2 diabetes.
