I've always wondered... what exactly is the Courage Crew, and how do people get to be in it? All I know is that its associated with violence frequently...

Only time I ever saw a member of Courage crew was at a show in Windsor. The guy was probably 6'6, 300 pounds, he had a skull tattooed on his bald head and an X tattooed on his face, and when he moshed he looked like he was trying to hurt people.

its basically just a gang of violent sxes who beat the shit out of people during shows if they drink, smoke, etc. or if they just insult somebody in cxc. i have no idea how to get in it, though. probly a tat and initiation?

Isn't this like that hateedge crap that was going about.

If you ask me, these people make straight edge out to be something totally ridiculous and something that it completely shouldn't be, there as bad if not worse than people who actually break edge.

Right this is the first of me hearing of this but let me guess.

They are guys who go to shows in small gangs and all the kids are kinda scared of as they think "oh god its the courage crew, those guys are tough"

And....the courage crew are basically doing this so they look cool and think they are tough compared to everyone as they have there gang with them.

I want to see a member of Courage Crews myspace it could be quite funny, oh and I bet most of them have myspace, I will put money on it.

These guys give straight edge as bad an image as edge breakers.

This is just what I imagine this bollocks to be about please correct me if I am wrong.

I think violence and intollerance is a much less favourable impression than edge breaking by far.

The courage crew are a band of thugs hiding behind the Straight Edge monikor. They're only interested in hurting people who are not exactly like them, and don't believe in fun or friendship in any form that isn't fascist.

They're also the likely true culprits behind the Straight Edge attacks segment that appeared on Geraldo a few years back.

Courage Crew is a brotherhood of straightedge kids who take care of each other like we are blood. we are a patriotic crew that has helped keep hardcore underground and real. if you are fake you will be called out. its not all about fighting we are nationwide we run venues, do merch sales for large bands, run printing companies, and run security at alot of shows. yes i will admit it there are alot of fuckin idoits out there that just want to pick fights and act like gangbangers but we go to shows and make sure that these kids dont take over. how many times have you seen assholes at shows that are cheap shotting kids while they dance or crowd punch. for nearly 20 yrs we have takin on the people you wouldnt. we done what everyone talks about. yeah if a straightedge band sellsout they should be beat up if they still do straightedge songs. this isnt a joke to me and we wont stand on the sidelines and let people dissrespect what we love and live. i always hear aslot of people say we should just turn the other cheek and walk awaybut you know i love hardcore it has always been there for me and i am not going to turn my back when someone is being stupid. i dont know how alot of you came up but in detroit you had to earn the right to go to shows. we fought are way into this scene with old crazy drunks that would fight us on sight if we had x's on our hands. now that i am the older guy at shows i make sure that the kids that are there for the right reasons are takin care of and the fuckin hatebreed fans that like to shove fuckers from behind and donkey kick are takinn care of. you may think crews are a joke but i tell you what find a dude in courage crew and tell him he is a joke.

now see, you say stuff about it being about more than just fighting and violence and then go on to focus mostly about fighting. The problem I have and have always had with crews is that they're always about violence, act like a gang and then get pissed when you call them a gang. Everything you're talking about is trying to control things via violence, intimidation and fear and that's exactly why people talk shit about crews. I don't want or need you to go beat up sellouts who are still singing straight edge songs. I'm just amazed that you're 30 and still think that getting into fights is still a valid way to deal with people who don't agree with you.

also weren't some dudes in bleeding through courage crew? how exactly are they trying to keep hardcore underground and real?

you also make it sound like i go get everyones opinion and if it isnt the same as mine i beat them up. that is not true at all. most of the time the fights are with people who just dont know how to act right and end up doing something fuckin stupid. so the last fight i got into i had to guys corner me in a parking lot and try and strongarm me for money. so what are you supposed to do fuckin talk it out with them. fold over and then get online and right a blog about it. fuck that i did what i do. i suprised at your age that you havent realized that there are times when talking isnt the answer. if people are going to wear clothes that state opinions they are going to be held accountable for them. does that mean i am going to beat them up. no. but im sorry if i see some asshole in a leather jacket with a giant swastka on it i am going to confront him on it. i dont do this for you. i do this for me. i wont stand on the side and not do anything. if its wrong its wrong. yes evryone has the right to their opinion but that doesnt make you unacountable for the stances you take.

yeah but dude, you didn't mention any of that before. your last post focused on intimidation and fighting, which admittedly is as much of being a part of a crew as it is helping out each other. The shit you were talking about before, is a gang mentality. It's creating a syndicate. While it may not be all bad, it's certainly not all good either.

That's kind of the point, you're making it sound like it's your job to police anyone. It isn't. You're not some vigilante making the world a better place by beating up some dude with a swastika. You're not actually addressing the problem, you're just using it as an excuse to get into a fight, which you clearly enjoy. So you beat up a guy. Great. I'm sure you've been beat up and jumped. Did it change what you thought about whatever the reason was? Did it really change anything? What do you think you've really ever accomplished by getting into fights at shows?

Hi there,

I'm originally from South Bend, IN and grew up going to shows in Chicago, Indianapolis, and Michigan. My "hardcore mentor" is 11 years older than me and was often mistaken for Courage Crew because he's a SHARP with some crazy tattoos and a letterman's jacket. He and I are very chill people that tend to get along with many people and often talked to CC guys. Some we even considered friends.

I understand brotherhood and the love for hardcore. And I personally have had a run-in with a Nazi who was bragging about selling drugs to some kids at the club which I often volunteered. I won't say that was right, but I can understand the emotion behind the actions and standing up for yourself-physically if necessary. It sounds that in a way, you're trying to fill the role of scene elder to those that don't follow the unspoken rules. My assumption is that your way of "takin' care of" these problems is often physical, which I find unnecessary. The crew's actions, even if it's only done by a few members, brings a negative spotlight on straightedge and hardcore. Question: If someone from your crew acts out that reflects poorly, are they reprimanded?

it doesnt matter what i say you will disagree and that is fine im just trying to maybe educate you on some things that you speak of but dont know anything about. your mind is all made up of what you think of me my crew and people like me. i just come across alot of sites like these were kids just talk shit about things they dont understand. im trying to find common ground but it isnt there. you wanna know my beliefs but then you just shoot me down everytime i make a point. i am passionate in what i believe. i live and die for my beliefs. no one asked me to do what i do but if we dont police our own shows they get shut down or over run with bullshit. you go to a hatebreed show now and tell me if that is what you want your local show s to become. and i know you will tell me you dont care who comes to shows and i have no right to tell anyone who shouldnt be at shows. it never changes with each group. alot of talk about good things to do and no action. you know what your scene is different than mine and i came up different than you so we will agree to disagree.

it is not easy to be courage crew, we make sure we arent getting a bunch of fuckin retards running around thinking they can get away with what they want, but we are human and people make mistakes. we dont reprimand we learn and teach one another. if someone fucks up we pick them up and help them fix what ever it is they did.

I have never had any problems with the courage crew. At least not to my knowledge. I think that the stories surrounding them have been blown out of proportion. I live in Norther Kentucky and go to shows here in Cincy Ohio all the time. I have never been messed with and I can tell you I get pretty rough at shows. I think we all just want to have fun and to know there is a safe environment where we can do so. I suspect that since the sxe lifestyle is one that is ridiculed by the general public and particularly in the club scene, I think it a good thing to have a brotherhood of friends to stand up for this minority-though it seems to be growing. And while I in no way advocate violence, and find it necessary only in extreme cases, its nice to know that there are others out there with a helping hand to pull one up off the floor.

So when I have first hand seen a Courage Crew dude beat some one up for looking at them the wrong way I'm suppose to respect that?

I have seen this kind of shit happen more than once, kids getting beat up by Courage Crew dudes just because the dudes don't like them, petty shit. Rarely provoked, but I've seen that too. Either way it's lame.

I've definitely seen Courage Crew dudes beat up other straight edge dudes too.

If i would or i wouldn't what difference does it make. I mean if you think a homicidal maniac killer is wrong for stabbing people in the head would you tell him that? I mean being smart enough not to say what you think about people who clearly can't engage in a verbal discourse without getting violent says more about the courage crew than it does about the people who choose not to talk to them. That said, i would happily chat to them and if they disagree with my opinion of them then all they have to do is prove me wrong, but thus far they haven't managed that.

As for keeping the shows free of skinhead douchebags...well a lot of places seem to get on just fine with out them. And i have to say from what i understand they act like the dumbass toughguy kids and react to a lot less than smoke in their face. Perhaps they all don't act as bad as the people that have helped shape my opinion of the crew as a whole but seriously i have no respect for them and find them to be rather ignorant and thugish. Like i say i am open to being proved wrong but i hear more and more negative and next to no positive.

if you are asking a question you may want to construct it so it actually asks something. But since my last post you have also gone on to portray yourself as sexist which just adds to the ignorance factor so your opinion really has lost pretty much all validity.

I've been to a lot of Chicago and Chicago area shows and have seen a lot of things. Personally, I just don't see what's positive about Courage Crew. I've seen more blood than anything else when it comes to Courage Crew involvement, things seem to be way too negative.

there are only 2 courage crew gys in chicago and i garuntee you havent seen either of them "spill blood" or whatever.

So when I have first hand seen a Courage Crew dude beat some one up for looking at them the wrong way I'm suppose to respect that?

I have seen this kind of shit happen more than once, kids getting beat up by Courage Crew dudes just because the dudes don't like them, petty shit. Rarely provoked, but I've seen that too. Either way it's lame.

I've definitely seen Courage Crew dudes beat up other straight edge dudes too.

im just curious where exactly did you see all these kids get beat up by courage crew?

I saw something recent, the kid claims to be Courage Crew, I have no idea what makes it official and what doesn't. It's not just the city of Chicago, it's the suburbs and other areas in Illinoise and Iowa. I'm not going into details because I don't feel like being harassed.

I've been going to shows for well over 10 years, I've seen a lot of random things. I don't exactly have a diary I can pull out and give you the exact names and locations.

so in all honesty you have no idea if what you seen was courage crew or not yet you will get on here an came we did it. and who is going to harass you? i f we did it we did it. but dont come on here and claim you have seen all this horrible shit and blame it on us if you dont even know. and if you have been going to shows for ten yrs and you dont know who is who that is strange.

So hold on, if someone is claiming they are courage crew, how is one supposed to know if they are or aren't?

In all honesty, if someone is claiming they are courage crew (fuck knows why anyone would want to do that) it gives the idea that they are courage crew.

I have to ask, why do you think so many people have a negative impression of courage crew based on things they have seen?

No, the kid claims to be Courage Crew, everyone says he is. So I'm going with yes, he is. People talk a lot of shit and I'm not going to get myself involved in stuff so that the next time I see this kid, or a friend of his, they won't bother me or try to get me involved in all this shit.

I avoid interacting with people that are Courage Crew or hang out with them, so why in the world would I know who any of them are if I see them randomly and not frequently? There's dudes around now that weren't 10 years ago, let alone 5. I don't actively get involved with them, or want to pay attention to them forced to. Sorry I don't have the latest roster of Courage Crew players hanging on my wall so I can memorize faces with names, sheesh.


You have no fucking clue what I have or haven't seen. You have no idea what kind of person I am. So if you don't believe me, then you don't. I don't give a shit. I'm not going to back down from what I've stated, it's what I've seen and it's the truth. Arguing with me isn't going to change that.

So if someone says they are courage crew we assume they are until you tell us they aren't.

If you tell me they aren't courage crew then so be it but i don't want to interact with them and if these people calling themselves courage crew are giving you a bad name why not deal with it in an appropiate courage crew fashion. I'm not about to ask someone that calls themselves courage crew if they are courage crew, it really has nothing to do with being scared its simply that i just disagree with the stance, the attitude and just think it seems like slightly volotile meatheads mascerading as somekind of positive force. It doesn't endear me to interacting with them, i mean i interact with you and thats painful enough!!

I base my opinion on the information i am given, you yourself have fucked up and idiotic ideas in my opinion and i just put that opinion forward, if you give me different information my opinion will change but as it stands i still see courage crew as a negative thing. I have read your posts and how you explain courage crew to be something different to what we all think but the point is, even with your explanation of it i think you are wrong and the whole idea of courage crew is just pointless. So what you are essentially asking here is why would i express my opinion, the question i ask you is why the hell shouldn't i?

I never said I was "soooo into hardcore" or so into the scene or whatever.

Yeah, well like i say i based my opinion on things you have said also...if you are saying you don't know shit about it then fine but i'm thinking you just chose to omit that part of my reply because you want to talk shit.

You just seem to find it hard to accept that people think your ideas are nonsense but i do, i've never heard one redeeming thing about courage crew from you or anyone else. If you want to make that all about me and my shortcommings, well thats just fine but its not really the case. I just think you should accept that i don't agree with courage crew based on the shit that you come out with as well as what people i know and trust have seen as well as encounters with other courage crew members online - Although of course they could just be saying they are courage crew and you will probably tell me they aren't really courage crew. Of course, i can't be sure you are either!

Now, i said this before but perhaps you missed it, if you can give me a decent reason to think differently about courage crew then i will. But if you, an alleged member of courage crew, can't do that then perhaps you shouldn't refer to it as ignorance on my part and rather see it as fact that lots of people do not agree with your train of thought on these matters.

Call it what you want, but seeing some one get attacked by some one in a parking lot when there was no altercation prior to the attack is wrong, bottom line. I know you don't believe me when I say that it is some one that is Courage Crew, but it was. You may not do that kind of stuff, but unfortunately other people do, Courage Crew or otherwise. Again, you may not choose to smash my car windows or something like that, but other people do and can, that are over the age of 13. Either way it's sad.

Again, you may not choose to smash my car windows or something like that, but other people do and can, that are over the age of 13. Either way it's sad.



I never said what city I was in, so you must have chosen one yourself. I never even said if I was at a show or what I was doing, so you assumed a whole lot through out this conversation.

I asked you before, If Courage Crew isn't a bad thing and doesn't do the things people accuse them of, how did all this start with people having negative things to say? I'm just curious.

well i assume it was at a show cause you said you have seen alot of things at shows

tell me what city and i can find out what was up in 10 minutes

i mean that sucks your friend got beat up but i am sure it wasnt for no reason

i will tell you exactly why people have negative things to say. it is because people get their feelings hurt. instead of manning up and admitting they are wrong 9 times out of 10 a guy will say we did it for no reason. but the guy was probably dancing like an asshole or fucking with young kids that were dancing or acting like a dumbass in a venue, or being disrespectful to be funny, or just plain old talkin shit cause he wants to see what its all about. ive personally seen kids crowd punch hit the wrong guy and get knocked out for it and then that night be on the internet talking shit on us that we jumped him or he got beat up for smoking near us or being drunk. People say negative things because they want it to be negative.

The most I'm going to discuss about this is that it was not at a show. I was hanging out the the person that got beat up and we were leaving a late night hang out and he got attacked by a dude waiting for him. The reason we were later told he got beat up was that "the dude heard that my friend talked shit about him". You know what, you can say that he did talk shit or deserved it or whatever, but I would vouch for this kid any day that he didn't talk shit. I'm assuming he said he didn't like that kid or something of that nature, because he still can't figure out what it is he said that caused this to happen. I don't want to get into specifics, because unfortunately anyone could find this online and they will know exactly who I'm talking about, and whether it be Courage Crew or otherwise, I will get harrassed or shit talked to. That is the entire reason why I haven't wanted to go into specifics, regardless of you saying nothing would happen.

Bottom line, for me, violence shouldn't be the answer to solve a problem. That's why I have an issue and don't agree with Courage Crew.

No one is going to get their ass kicked for what they say on the internet. We are not the mindless retarded fighting machines you all try to make us out to be.

you seriously need to take your head out of a text book. why do i need to do more research on gangs. if people are being stupid in a place of buisness that belongs to a friend of mine courage crew or not he is going to be asked to leave and if it escalates it goes that way. so is life. but at no point does courage crew pay my bills and at no point does courage crew force me to do things to forward the growth of the "gang". see a gang does everything it does to become the best. they sell drugs to be the richest and kill those who fuck with their buisness. they have a structure where everything goes to the gang and the indivdual gets nothing. you need to except the fact that we are not a gang and that we dont give a fuck what are reputation is. We are not trying to be the biggest or the baddest or the most violent crew. we dont fuckin care if we are liked or hated. we are not looking for fame or fortune we are only looking to make the best version of each other that we can. gangs dont do that they brain wash kids to become mindless killers who will give all for the gang no matter what the personal cost is. gangs are about money and power. we are about raising are bothers up as high as we can. do things happen? yes do people fuck up? yep. but we dont kill those who fuck up we work it out and stand together. so you tell me what more i need to know about gangs . maybe you need to do a little more research.
i mean if you let people dissrespect you and the places you and your friends hangout or work thats your buisness,but just because you dont stand up against things doesnt mean that is wrong to standup and call a dipshit out for being stupid. its called self respect not a gang mentality. if dumb people want to act stupid in clubs and get shows shut down so we cant all go do what we love to do i am going to call those people out. if you dont want to help thats fine just sit online and tell me how we are all meatheads and my ideas are wrong. ive been at this a long time not only has it kept me alive in shitty situations it has takin me to places and gotten me into things i never thought i would get into. and not all the respect comes from violence it comes from being stand up men.

I like how you keep making incorrect assumptions, my knowledge of gangs comes from direct interaction growing up, not from a text book. Half of the shit you spew is the same shit they would. Did you not say that courage crew gets kids jobs and pays for shit? When you're not under the microscope the words you say and things you portray are definitely gang like. When someone brings it up, then you talk about how you're not, but if I'm not mistaken, aren't you guys on gang watchlists, at least in Dayton? You talk about respect like people should automatically respect you, when I go back that it's not really respect that you care about, it's control and fear. What have you guys done to be stand up men outside of shows and hardcore? Where things actually matter?

Are you going to try and tell me that there aren't similarities between what you say and do and gangs? You talk about respect and how important it is, but now you want to talk about how you don't care about it? You want people to act how you want them to, and they way you do it is via intimation and violence. That isn't about respect, it's about fear.

i dont think gang life is just criminal activity i know it is. i have been around it my entire life. yeah some of them do work regular jobs. there are always exceptions to the rules, but every guy ive known flying a flag still has alittle something extra going on on the side even in legit buisnesses. gangs are about money and that is about it. it starts out to be down for your block or your hommies but it all ends up to money.

simply put we did something for hardcore a long time ago. and instead of fadding away like other crews have or self destructing we are still around. were there fights. yes. do people fear us. yes. but the biggest problem is you cant lump us into one category like you are trying to do. we are not a gang.

Wait, you fully condone 3 guys beating up on someone for calling them assholes?

Wheres the "courage" in that? If they were really pissed about being called assholes, surely one of the super offended tough dudes could have fought 1 on 1 instead of having him and his buddies jump the guy? Nothing you say can justify shit like that.

well why else would you stop and call someone an asshole unless you wanted to fight. i guess maybe he should have thought that out better before approaching people he doesnt know and calling them assholes but its not his fault.

Well perhaps he just wanted to point out the fact they were being assholes. Oh no, verbal critisism, someone highlighted their negative behaviour...must fight them now! But after you have reacted with illegal violence because you struggle to verbalise a decent argument to justify your asshole like behaviour you still want to be respected. Yeah, that makes sense! Its simply called being a thug, most likely insecure and uses violence to mask that.

let me make something clear, the courage crew IS a bunch of violent people who have to respect for anyone different from them, a few of my friends showed me this site and thought i'd have some opinions. i'm not edge myself but i have a huge respect for those who are.

I live in cincinnati and i have first hand experianced courage crew and their girlfriends many times. i have had a guy knock thru a crowd to slap a cigarette out of my mouth. i have had other moments when the guys have the decency not to hit females but instead they call their girlfriends out. i had to be carried out of the fish club in trenton ohio because i lit up a smoke outside, came back in and got punched in the face. i'm a very small girl and i'm only 5'0 tall. it was completely uncalled for.

courage crew is just an excuse to start violence and instill fear. straight edge is a way of life that i respect 100%. i have friends who are very close to me that are sxe. they come over while we're partying and will hang out while we act stupid. they respect the fact that we dont sport edge and we respect the fact that they do.

courage crew completely distroyed the idea of straight edge. the idea that drinking, smoking tobacco, and recreational drugs arent someones 'cup of tea'. it was started because the teen idles were almost denied into a club to play because they werent of drinking age. they werent there to get trashed, they were there to play music, so they offered up the idea of putting 'X's on the back of their hands to indecate that they werent old enough. the scene just grew from there. not because it was a fashion trend or because people wanted to stand out, people just plain wanted to live life and do the things they love with out the drugs and drinking that was most commonly precived in the punk genre. it picked up speed and was a great influence on a large chunk of 'punk rock youth'. but somehow this good influence has led to a group of people finding it nessecery to be a bunch of nazis.

I agree,

Im not sure what to think about this, ive been reading through the whole thread trying to figure out my opinion of it. I personally think that yes, some members of CXC may have been assholes or beat on people for stupid reasons, but i wouldnt want to judge a whole crew on the actions of those individuals. I can however see how this would give a general opinion of a groupe of people if some of them are doing these things.

I dont think violence is the answer, and picking fights just for the sake of fighting is wrong! Yeah going to shows and looking out for kids and stuff is great but there is a line where it goes from helping out to bullying.

I personally havent met anyone from courage crew, and i suppose ill make up my mind if i meet any, but then again my opinion would be on the individual not the whole crew. Lets just hope i dont get a smack in the mouth :P

when you choose to associate with a group, you take responsibility at least on some level of the actions of members of that group. Why wouldn't you judge a crew based on the actions of their members, since as demonstrated on here, the actions are at least supported by others and it's a common shared attitude?

this proves my point. some people really do think violence is always the first options where as my friends and i'm sure alot of others on this site agree that violence is a very last resort. if you call my friend or me an asshole out of no where, you can bet that they/i will say something to you. but i refuse to hit you. obviously theres a reason why you said that, and i'd want to know why. if you just did it to a an arrogant prick then yeah, i'm probably going to get pist, and if you continue, i'm probably gonna lose my cool, but not everyone jumps at the first chance to hit someone..

Wait are you talking about a tparticular situation we discussed before in this thread or what? You're really unclear when you respond to something. Maybe you should go back and reread everything, because you seem to be confused.

What you quoted me on was me saying was a statement not relating to a particular incident, I was saying that my friends and I don't use or fists unless it's to protect ourselves when being physically attacked.

If we are talking about one of the incidents previously discussed, my friend did not start anything physical. One of the instances a friend of mine was jumped at a non-show related place, as I told you. The other incident was when I saw someone call a Courage Crew dude an asshole and get beaten by 3 guys at once. I never said it was a friend, it was something I saw at a show.

Regardless of what the situation is, it started out not being a physical fight and Courage Crew always answers with their fists rather than being smart, intelligent, or witty. They think with their fists instead.

Surely you'd have a reason for calling them a name though? Calling people names isn't a great way of dealing with the problem though but if someone is so ignorant to respond by hitting them...well thats just wrong. People shouldnt be hitting each other and especially not for shit that can easily be solved without hitting. If someone calls me a name or whatever i ask them what their problem is, i am quick to sort out the problem without beating on people, when i see people resorting to violence i pity the state of their mind.

Have you read any of this thread? If you want examples of courage crew violence mentality, just read flintsxfinest's posts.

flintsxfinest is a prime example of a moron. hes done nothing but prove everyones opinions on CxC right and on top of that made himself look like a total jackass. he started talking the shit, then made fun of others for talking shit while he continued to talk shit.

You know, standing up for xflintsfinestx on an internet message board isn't going to get you into courage crew.

I think beating up drug dealers is good, but beating up teenage kids just because they're drinking and smoking... that's stupid.

who is a drug dealer? a guy who sells 2 packs of weed a day on his high school? gang member selling crack on the corner whole day?

Well because its an illegal act of violence that shows your inability to overcome or handle a problem without violence. It shows disregard for the law and makes you at best a want to be vigalante and at worst an neolithic thug. It also doesn't solve a problem but rather aids its esculation toward something more sinister.

Now perhaps you could answer the question i asked as it really isn't obvious why indulging in criminal activity is a good thing...i look forward to your answer.

Or perhaps someone who works in a bar serving alcohol or a store selling cigerettes?

What ridicule was there before? I wasn't refering to my question anyway, mainly because mine was rhetorical. i have no idea what you mean by declarative snt.

I don't think there was anything lost at all, i understood your post and you confirmed it by saying you were adding to ridicule. I just don't see what ridicule there was before it and you never answered when i asked. There is no problem, just a question.

hmmm, then there was something lost from my side i guess. my bad :-) ... i asked a question, you replied with a question, that i thought is a joke, so i've answered with joke.. ok, the answer is that i don't know.. i was trying to understand what type of person can be labeled a drug dealer in the sense that - according to some - he should be beaten up. and you answered with a question that is a good , but somehow just specified/updated my own unanswered question.. did i get it finally??

Yeah, i just fail to see how you though my response was a joke. I just highlighted that drugs are dealt in legal ways too, hardly a joke but there you go. As for your question being unanswered, well you did infact answer it yourself and my rhetorical question answered it further.
