You: Alcohol, Tobaccco, and recreation drug use is bad -> Because they are bad I will never try them -> I identify with a certain group because I don't do them -> It is rare to see people my age in this group Reality: Not all of those things are automatically bad -> People choose to abstain for a variety of reasons, your personal reason is ignorance -> You identify with a special group other mostly ignorant people (though some have legitimate reasons)-> Not everyone abstains from these things because there is no reason to Quote Link to post Share on other sites

The cons of alcohol heavily outweigh the very few pros associated to it. Because you don't agree with my opinion doesn't make it an ignorant one. You don't even know this group, so stop being a hypocrite. That is by far one of the dumbest statements I've read yet. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
The Notorious TPH 18 Posted December 15, 2010 Share Posted December 15, 2010 What are the negative effects of using alcohol and marijuana. Not abuse. Just usage. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

But according you you you are accomplishing something from not doing these things that there are nothing wrong with and there is a problem that most teens have drunk alcohol or smoked pot.

But the straight edge crowd tend to see themselves as above using substances instead of just not using them. Especially those who have never used any substances. They always come of as douchey and ignorant to me. "Bu but I don't need those things to have fun!" Yea most people don't. Get off your high horse. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

MNDWSH 2 Posted December 15, 2010 Share Posted December 15, 2010 Not smoking defines who you are? Get the fuck over yourself. No one gives a shit what you do with your life. If you don't want to drink/smoke don't do it. Being condescending about it just makes you look like a douche. Not all drug users are going to judge you, so don't judge all drug users. You seem more concerned about the image that comes with straight edge rather than the logic behind it. You made a big mistake making such a permanent choice when you're still a teen. You're going to change over time, maybe you'll have different views as you become an adult. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

REDE 66 Posted December 15, 2010 Share Posted December 15, 2010 And what REED is trying to say (I think) is that you claim there's nothing wrong with drinking, smoking, or recreational drug use and say that it's something that you just don't care for, but yet you think that appropriates getting a tattoo saying "Hey I don't do these things" and labeling yourself in this special group (straight edge). And I quote "What I said was I don't give a shit if other people do it" Yes you do What are you 8? HAHA YEAH YOU DO! At least I'm honest with myself. You feel strongly enough about this idea that you would get a tattoo and defend it with all the gusto your child-like brain can muster, and yet you don't particularly give a shit if the people around you totally don't agree? You're either full of shit or detached from other people to the point where you probably have a mental disorder of some kind. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
