Cloud Posted April 1, 2005 Report Share Posted April 1, 2005 But even in Glasgow there are hard-liners who hand out Bring Back Prohibition leaflets and lash out at anyone they see smoking or drinking.A militant sXe band recently appeared at a venue in the city and tried to punch members of the audience who were drunk.Is it just me that finds the whole concept of being violent towards people who won't abstain from alcohol hilarious?Oh, and punching a drunk when you're sober isn't exactly hard either, so really, they should rot in hell. What's the point in abstaining from all sorts of stuff if you're going to be a total prick?Thank fuck the people I know who don't drink and suchlike aren't like that..

Rachie Posted April 1, 2005 Report Share Posted April 1, 2005 That's the funniest headline I've read in ages...With fellow Straight Edge - or sXe - follower Louise Mitchell,19, she plans to get the inside of her lip tattooed any day now.That just made me think of the Familiars in Blade.She said: 'There are so many teenage pregnancies and sometimes it feels like everyone is getting wasted. Something has to change and if that means getting sober and gaining self-respect then fineMaybe if education on such things was better, with more "shock tactics" and made more interesting for kids, it would be taken on board.You don't have to be sXe to be sensible...In 1997 at a concert, Straight Edgers in Salt Lake City carved an 'X' in the back of a man who lit a cigarette and two others stabbed a 15 -year-old smoker to death on a street on Hallowe'en in 1998. Fanatics have neo-Nazi leanings, are homophobic, militant pro-lifers. Those who 'break edge' by drinking or taking drugs may be shunned.That's just like... so hardcore!*Sigh* That's quite sickening to be honest. Makes you no better than a drunken lout.

Cloud Posted April 1, 2005 Report Share Posted April 1, 2005 That's quite sickening to be honest. Makes you no better than a drunken lout.I'd be tempted to say that it makes you worse than a drunken lout - at least the person was under the influence of a substance - but if your body is completely clean of such things, what excuse do you have to do that to others? I take it that it's not just me that thinks these "Militant sXe" types are basically neds under a different uniform? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

french_disko Posted April 1, 2005 Author Report Share Posted April 1, 2005 I don't understand their logic - drink, drugs & sex, which are down to personal choice & don't necessarily others are BAD. Yet, guns & violence, used on others, are GOOD.It's just right wing rhetoric dressed up to appeal to impressionable youngsters. I have no problems with people exercising personal choice - I just feel that using strong arm tactics to force your views onto others is wrong.

calum Posted April 1, 2005 Report Share Posted April 1, 2005 I think in principal, straight edge is great for some people, but if it's just used an excuse to be a violent piece of shit, then it loses meaning. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
