My main question is why does straight edge have to be so divided from the "normal" youth culture? I don't believe in 'getting F***ed up,' and I think the whole party scene and getting drunk to the point of passing out is disgusting, but why does it have to be all or nothing? Why cant there be a middle ground between the two, such as responsible use? does any straight edger agree with someone else having a responsible drink, or smoking pot in moderation? even if it isn't your self?
Don't get me wrong, I am all of the cause. I just wish the straight edge culture wasn't so isolated, because I truly believe that every aspect our generation can teach something, whether they are stoned out of their mind, or completely sober. Please don't shoot me down, I'm just trying to understand.
