Is this some hardcore or straight edge thing? so, if i was "xhandinjuryx"
what does that mean? -that im a proud straight edged hardcore/metalcore dude? I have nothing aganist with being straight edge, no substances = good for you, just dont get in my face about it.
and how about "tough guy hardcore". Is that like blood for blood?
And how about "emo", theres emo hardcore , emo punk...... i dont understand. im a metalhead, i like brutal deathmetal and some 80's thrash(testament, overkill, kreator,etc.) are these terms made up by "scenesters"?
Someone clue me in to these stupid "label" tags.

[Mar 25,2004 9:54am - the_reverend ""]
xxx = straight edge.
x's around your name usually means you like hardcore I guess...
but might not mean you are s.e.
it might just mean that aaron was taken and you just put x's around it to get a name that isn't taken.

XnameX originally meant that you were straight edge.... for some reason people who are not straightedge put x's around their name too.
and dude, just because someone has x's around their screen name doesn't mean they are forcing straight edge upon you. Straight edge kids go to shows and are around people smoking, those people dont' give a shit...there are beer/ciggarette ads everywhere you look... so who's getting shit forced in their face? I don't think I've seen any straight edge advertisements on tv, or in magazines.
[Mar 25,2004 10:06am - the_reverend ""]
man.. I hate smoking so much.
[Mar 25,2004 10:10am - succubus ""]
ditto
esp having to deal with second hand smoke
[Mar 25,2004 10:12am - Joe/NotCommon ""]
the smoking inside was the worst part of the sick as sin fest.
I can't wait for that ban to get nationwide.

I NEVER SAID THEY ARE. I was refering to the straight edge kids that go around acting like tough guys, dissing drug users. Unless you never been to a show and seen them in action(ala running there mouth- and no i am not saying that they all do this, i remeber toking right next to a dude with a huge x on his hand, and he didnt walk away,we had a coversation the whole time.)

Yeah, im not straight edge, but i quit smoking pot and people try to get me to smoke about 3 times a day. i dont try to get them to NOT smoke.

I would rather have someone smoking a jay around me instead of cancer sticks.
did I just hear joe backing a mass commie thing? wow, time to check the temp. in hell.

I don't care what people do, but when a few people are smoking inside and it's ruining it for other people then they should have to step outside for the couple of minutes it takes to smoke.
[Mar 25,2004 10:29am - Siberia ""]
Complaining about second hand smoke is so "not metal", sheesh! But honestly, I'll be the first to admit (even as a smoker) that second hand smoke is worse than actually smoking! I quit for a little while and I just couldn't take all the second hand smoke at my practices and at bars and shit which ultimately led to me starting up again. As a smoker though I can say that I have mad respect for non-smokers and am always considerate to them!

smoking is the biggest waste of money. the palladium is one big cloud of smoke even with their 'no smoking' policy. And even with like 20-30 people outside smoking in between bands, their are STILL tons inside.
[Mar 25,2004 10:45am - dreadkill ""]
i love those commercials out there that make it look like you'll get pregnant or run your little brother over with a car if you are out getting stoned. those ads are hilarious. they totally miss the point. if i smoked pot alot, i'd watch those things high and laugh my ass off even more.
[Mar 25,2004 10:49am - Josh_hates_you ""]
has anyone here actually gone to a staight edge hardcore show??
i mean like BANE-what feeds the fire-embrace today
the kids definately suck. i hate scenesters(the trucker hat studded belt and bed hed haircuts need to go espeacially when it is the MTV look nowadays....faggots)
but the SxE kids will definately get in your face and probably get 5 of their friends at their back to take shots at you in the pitt
metal heads stand out realy bad at HC shows i like HC but i cant tolerate the "scene"
[Mar 25,2004 11:00am - Joe/NotCommon ""]
I hear ya Josh, except I hate hardcore almost as much as I hate hardcore kids, unless we aren't talking the poser stuff.
The Freeze is awesome.
[Mar 25,2004 11:01am - RustedAngel ""]
I could never figure out why people start smoking in the first place, other than wanting to look 'cool' and/or look 'older'. So I figure it's easy to figure out who the posers in the scene are, the ones who smoke. heh.

Yeah we'll definetly get in your face(sarcasm). No one enjoys and appreciates disgusting second hand smoke being blown in our air supply. Espcially at clubs where there's a no smoking policy, but people just light up anyway because they're too weak to resist their self inflicted temptations of poisoning themselves and others. You really suck if you think that just because you're a metalhead, you'll get targeted at a show. Maybe if some people didn't act like a cynical asshole smoking their fags all night people(not just edge kids) would respect them a bit more.

ugh, dude i dont smoke and ive been attacked.
[Mar 25,2004 11:19am - Josh_hates_you ""]
for the record i do NOT smoke tobacco products. i engage in the herbal practices but not at a show inside obviously.

Bullshit. Secondhand smoke used to get me so pissed off at my guitarists. Here I am playing fast as fuck and breathing somewhat fast and they are over there smoking away. Fuck cigarettes.:middlefinger: Not metal,only by your definition.

Dude, I was kidding about not being metal. Didn't I say that second hand smoke sucks too!?
And to RA, the reason I started smoking when I was younger was because it was a cheap fast buzz in between classes in high school, not cause I was trying to look cool. Then I got a job where the majority of my bosses smoked and by smoking butts with them they gave me better jobs to do. Eventually I was hooked.

Oh and Abbath, drinking is worse than smoking. It is not like smoker's don't know they are hurting themselves anyway. The thing is, drinking causes a lot of shitty problems to people around alcoholics. Some people can get drunk off their ass, and just sit there and have no problems really (my cousin can drive perfectly straight when he is smashed, and I know that firsthand, sadly), but other people get shitfaced and beat the shit out of their families and drive around getting into accidents all over the place. Horrible stuff happens.
By the way, I also prefer drinking over smoking

smoking is funny. people start smoking to look cool. than they say they're hooked so they "cant" stop.

Nicotine stays in your system for three days. three. one more time, three days. anyone who 'can't' devote three days to not smoking is either weak minded or has an emotional attachment to just holding the cigarettes. and this quote is worth posting again
