I do not and never have considered myself to be 'straight edge'. That said, I don't drink, I don't smoke, and I don't do drugs. That's just the way I want to live, I guess. I've known a lot of kids who claim to be 'straight edge' and are really nice people. I've also known some 'straight edge' kids who were total assholes. It all comes down to whether or not they have a 'live and let live' attitude, or a 'i'm gonna be a self-righteous prick and tell you what to do attitude'. I myself couldn't really care less if people drink or smoke or whatever. I believe in personal choice, so if you choose to drink, go right ahead! The problem is that some people use straight edge just like some people use their religion and they try to shove it down everybody else's throats... and frankly, that's just bullshit.
