Ian, I totally know what you mean about these 'fucktards', as you put it so bluntly.
I hate it when people are ignorant about the straight edge, really does my nut. They completely dismiss it without even TRYING to understand it. I have friends like this. I don't even bother trying to reason with them because at the end of the day, they're too arrogant and, well, too stupid to listen.
However, I can understand what some people are saying about 15 year olds claiming the edge. Obviously this isn't going to apply to every teen edge kid but a lot of these people who are following the 'straight edge fad' will go out and drink etc when they're old enough. They're just doing it to look cool at the moment.
I don't agree with spiking peoples' drinks though. That's immature and plain rude.
I'm not in 'thinking mode' at the moment, so will come back when I'm feeling slightly more intellectual. Haha. Anyway, nice point Ian. I wouldn't say leave this community because you're coming up with some good stuff. Nice one chap. Out of curiousity, how old are you?
