[QUOTE="xmikex:457439"]DrinkHardThrashHard said:[QUOTE]Heh. Brilliant post. And true. Here is my question for the straightedge kids though... If you dislike drugs and alcohol, why not simply abstain from drugs and alcohol? Why does this behavior require a sub-culture? I know plenty of people who abstain from one or the other, or both, and do not require an X symbol to justify their choices. What is there to prove?[/QUOTE] I think it's more of a social commentary then an in your face kind of thing (for sincere straightedge kids at least). I mean alcohol is everywhere: billboards, television commercials, parties, just about every concievable social event there is. Alcohol is kind of looked upon as part of this natural progression in life: you look up to your parents drinking alcohol when you're young, you crave it when you're a teenager, and then it becomes the centerpeice of your life when you're older. People pretty much assume you drink, assume you want to drink, assume you're down with getting high weather you actually do or not. Having a subculture with a name is a way of showing that something else exsists, there there's another way of life besides just the normal perceived progression towards drugs and alcohol. [/QUOTE]
