The notion behind not drinking has nothing to do with rubbing alcohol into your hair does it? I can't see why anyone would have a problem if they were being sensible, it's a bit odd to think applying...

Might be a bit late over this side of the pond now but merry christmas to everyone here, hope everybody is having a good time and is enjoying doing whatever they're doing!

It didn't exactly go down smoothly in Russia this, did it? I don't like the ideas behind communism, which is what this basically is-an economic communism idea-and in practice it just has never worked.

Terrific article, I completely see where she's coming from. Most of my good friends do drink (although admittedly most only mildly) and I hang around with them often when they are. It makes me laugh...

Thank you very much Carla! Suppose that's where a journal comes in handy, and it's very good to have someone like that who can really help you and keep you going along that straight road. I'm...

Happy edge day Carla! 15 years is some achievement, it's also good to remember the day too! I can't celebrate my own edge day, I can't quite remember when it was now after only about 18 months, I'll...

Ha, I love google translate. How does "With this beard you'll look badass." become "With this sheer ruggedness of your beard jet."

And do I really wanna know what a 'beard jet' is? :P

Also,...

Yeah Zack de la Rocha hasn't been Edge since the 90's I don't think. Minor Threat were actually thanked on the notes for the 'Rage Against the Machine' album, but that was back in 1991-1992.

Likwise I don't even know an exact date that I decided to become straight edge, you could say every day I celebrate being straight edge :P

Personally the lack of great activity on the site doesn't bother me. I like to check in once or twice a day for a bit, it's not like some other forums that have tonnes of new posts all the time and...

Being sXe is a positive choice for yourself, so as long as you know that you'll be fine. I have literally no Edge friends but it isn't a problem, to be honest my closest friends are not really...

This is too true. I don't get the second response often fortunately, but I do try to associate with sensible, intellient people which might be why. :P Some people are just so engrossed in this 'hey,...

Knives...nah not really, just use a marker pen, I've never heard that writing on your skin with ink is bad for you before, everyone's done it at school for years! Sometimes people will go round...

To be fair to the guy, if he actually refused to do a gimmick, then he'd likely either get jobbed out by Vince McMahon or fired. The wrestling business is ruthless, and wrestlers who get there know...

I'm from England but thought I'd give it a go anyway! Good luck with your thesis, some great and thought-provoking questions in there!

I've had a pretty good christmas day, chilled with my family and ate plenty of food! Got mostly money to spend, and also got the new Call of Duty game to pass the time. All in all, best christmas for...

I don't think our population is declining either really, but then I've gotten a bit lost when it comes to the political side of life in Britain, will be a lot clearer I hope after next years general...

Welcome to the forum Matt. Rise Against are a pretty awesome band, although I only recently discovered they were edge!

How good a guitarist would you say you were?

Nick Griffin is a vile man, his whole party is. I don't understand how people can want to follow his twisted ideologies. A neighbouring town of ours (Barnsley) elected a BNP candidate in the last...

OK, so one thing I've been pondering for a while is the view within the sXe community that you can't be truly Edge unless you 'participate' in the hardcore music scene. It's the word 'participate'...

I mentioned CM Punk in the opening post of the thread. :P

Natalie has it down by the look of it. I have no qualms with any of my friends drinking/smoking, don't villify them at all for it or refuse to hang out with them and I certainly don't act violently....

I think a lot of people have began to follow straight edge due to either their own poor experiences involving drink & drugs or their friends/family, it's a shocking event that caused them to turn to...

Does anyone know of any famous people who claim straight edge? Obviously I mean other than hardcore sXe bands because they're all common knowledge in the scene and such, but I was thinking more...

YES. I do like Disturbed, got a lot of friends who are big fans. I doubt you'll find many on this board tbh, but I'm someone who ranks Hardcore below a couple of other genres of music now. 'Down with...
