so if a drug dealer doesn't sell to kids you have no problem with it? You never said that. And lets be realistic, underage drinking is pretty common, who should we go after with bats and brass knuckles?

if their on the streets with no regulations as to what they are selling and who they are selling it to. and thats about as narrowed down and definite as i can get. i know underage drinking is a common problem, but its not the liquer stor owners that are putting it in there hands, they work within the law, its the ones that go outside it i have the problem with.

So a liquor store worker sells aclohol to minors by either being shown a fake ID or like is often the case here just doesn't ID the underage customer. You then have a problem it? Is your reason for being against drugs a legal issue or the fact that you think the consumption of drugs for recreational purposes is wrong? The drug smuggler doesn't deal it to kids, do you have a problem with them? I mean why does the legality of it matter if someone chooses for themselves to get high, the crack dealer on the corner is just as guilty as the liquor store owner of giving people the oppertunity to attain drugs even if they abide by some laws that are in place to some extent. If the law is the issue then you should be happy to breathe second hand smoke also you are happy for there being no laws on how much you drink. You don't mind liquor stores feeding alcohol to violent drunks either because no laws are broken.

im fairly pascifistic, no one said being straight edge meant you had to be violently against any one involved with drug, alcohol, or tobacco sales, so as long as this distribution and consumption is staying within the law, i dont have an excessive problem with it, it makes me somewhat more easy to get along with and it keeps me from ending up serving life for taking my personal beliefs too far. i dont believe in forcing my decisions on others.

you didn't answer my questions, the only mention of violence was that of the violent drunks. I never said be violent against anyone so you went way off on a tangent based on nothing i said. I'm not talking about forcing your personal beliefs either but you only have a problem with things because they contravine the law? Is that what you are saying? Is tobaco advertising okay? Are you saying you don't have any problem with a highly addictive drug that is the cause of many terminal diseases because its distribution follows some protocols and laws? I'm not saying you should be violent about it but why do you not have a problem with that as well as the drug dealing? there were similar questions in my last post, it would be benificial to the discussion if you could answer them, otherwise its not going anywhere.

i dont support or condone the actions, but its their lives and their decisions as to whether or not they do these things, as to my mention of violence, the descusion was originally on militance, thats why i said i would only take physical action against those people. my main problems are with things that directly "contravine" the law, as i believe that obeying the laws of your locale should also be a part of straight edge, i dont know if anyone else has that view, but thats what i love about straight edge, you can be an individual. i dont support advertising for either alcohol or tobacco either, as that was something you mentioned.

assualt is against the law. the point being that you view drug dealers as far worse than people who sell cigarettes and alcohol when at the end of the day, logically they're exactly the same and the legal protection that some get is nothing more than a human construct and nothing more.

Then you have a batman syndrome. You talk about respecting things done lawfully and then condone assulting people, that contravines the law so you have contradicted yourself. How is law obeying part of straightedge?

i do have problems with cigarettes, i never said i didnt, i just said i have more of a problem with some jackass dealing meth on the corner. if a minor acquires a fake id for liquor, i have more of a problem with the guy that made the fake id than the store clerk who cnt tell the difference. and if he doesnt id the customer he should get fired, but just because he made a mistake does not necessarily make him wrong or a bad person. and its not the responsibility of the store clerk to know how each customer acts when drunk. assault is wrong, but self defence is not.

why, just because a more socially acceptable manner is used alcohol and tobbaco is still being dealt like drugs and is it ok by your reasoning for people to deal drugs away from corners, is it more a case of if it doesn't effect me or my immediate surroundings i don't give a shit.

But the store broke the law still and if these laws are what you are defining as a difference. You think that selling alcohol doesn't make you bad but selling crack does ? Crack dealer just wants to feed the kids and can't get a job in a liquor store, you are right its down to personal responsibility same with crack, both are pushing drugs on people of all ages just look at alchopops! And where do you draw the line with self defence? Anything from a reasonable restraint to shooting someone a law can say something is wrong or right and call it assult or self defence without turning the page at times.

I just think being straightedge inherently means you have a problem with the consumption of all drugs recreationally. Why you would highlight some over others based on legality doesn't make sense.

i see the points your making, and i concede that i may have been ignorant or otherwise mislead or misunderstanding in some areas, but i think a crack head selling illicit drugs is more in the wrong than someone working at a liquor store selling alcohol, and there are more reasons for this than just legality. with self defence i believe the other person must take an action against you or yours before you can act, i do not believe that clubs, guns, or brass knuckles are instruments of self defence, but knive depending on who drew first and what the intent is when it was drawn.

Yeah how is it more wrong beyond the reason of legality?

And as a general rule you will find that people who want to stick you with a knife won't wave it around in a threatening manner and you wouldn't be aware of the knife until youve been stuck. People who pull out knives are using it more as a posturing and barganing tool to instill fear into the opponent. The opponent would also be responsible in 90% of these situations of esculating the knife person into a situation when it gets used. Anything is an instrument of self defence depending on what is being defended and what the situation demands and dictates is an applicable weapon, i would agree the brass knuckles would be a stretch of this but if your life is in danger pretty much anything goes until the threat of death is no longer there.

What differing factors? The substance isn't going to change chemical properties. People's use of it isn't going to change. The only thing that changes is a group of people got together and decided that it was no longer illegal. Why would a law matter on your opinion on it at all?

no, but if they make it legal because some scientist discovers its not really harmful to anyone im not very well gonna go out and have a problem with it. that could have a seriouse affect on my opinion of the substance. if its legal because people are gonna use it any ways and its too hard to regualte then yeah, its still bad and im against it.

because i made a decision about MY health not to do either of those. and im pretty sure alcohol and cigarettes kill more simply because theyre more available, if crack or meth or other drugs of that caliber were available on that scale then there would probably be more deaths than by alcohol. and as i said, ive never had a personal experience where i lost someone to alcohol, but i lost one of my best friends growing up to crack and so im opposed to it on a personal level.

also case in point you ignored my first question completely.

but you're fine with them because it hasn't touched your life and it's legal, so why don't you do it? I mean if the law means that much, why not do everything that isn't illegal? Why oppose things, oh wait, you don't oppose things, or speak out about things.

There are a number of questions and posts in this thread that you have ignored and the answers you do offer are complete drivel in relation to what is being discussed, so yes you don't answer questions to any satisfaction as it seems like you are answering something else and completely missing the point.

my problem with this stuff is two fold, one it's fashion. kids talk about being militant, but their militancy begins and ends at shows. they just get into fights in and around shows and don't actually work to make things better. They just want to fight and use "militant straight edge" as an excuse. If they actually cared they would be a lot more involved then just talking tough and getting into fights that don't actually change anything.

The other problem is that it is blaming the dealer. The problem is the desire to do drugs, not the person that supplies it. You get rid of desire and dealers go away.

As long as stupid people inhabit this earth, and thats gona be for a long time, stupid people are going to want to sacrifice their health or a good feeling. I despise drug dealers, people who sell alchohol and cigerettes because they are taking advantage of them and roping more people into the image of the "cool smoker." However, we (straight edge people) are not within our rights to go beat the shit out of them. It is how they chose to live, and the people who come to them have chosen the way they live. If they try and force the drugs on people, though, take the fuckers out.

no, but if they make it legal because some scientist discovers its not really harmful to anyone im not very well gonna go out and have a problem with it.

Asprin is legal yet people still die from it. A sucidal person is still going to commit suicide by ODing on asprin even if the bottle has a warning or not, and is bought legally or illegally.

what does that have to do with what's being discussed at all?
