Double fail. Not only is the grammar wrong, but the way he's got Death cut off before his ass makes it look like he has a midget Grim Reaper on his back.
How the HELL did you get a copy of my wedding video??? Were you there???
;)
MadJurgen- I find it hilarious that you say I've been pretty harsh to potheads in years past, but that I seem to have mellowed lately(??)....
I admit that I will be the first one to say that potheads are a delusional lot- they all think that they are "fine" and that even though some of their buddies might have a problem with controlled substances, THEY personally do not. This is all fine and good, but in my experience and from what I've seen happen to friends and acquaintances, it's usually BS!
But hey, if you are the one who can handle it, go for it!!
I really like the logic that weed ruins people's lives because the only people you hear about are the people who's lives have been ruined by weed. Really, all the people I know who are "hooked" on weed would be hooked on something if the weed wasn't there. Some people have addictive personalities.
Which, I believe, is why a lot of kids become "straight edge" in the first place. Because they know they would have a problem if it wasn't for their abstinence. Good for them!
And the weed isn't even a problem for those who are hooked. Sure, it's basically proven that it's hell on your lungs, but since when do we like people telling us what is good for us? Further, if weed became legal tomorrow, I'm sure we would all be surprised to discover who had been smoking it all along.

Never heard of this Straight Edge group prior to reading this thread. To me it's funny seeing people saying I'm "egde" or whatever. I mean one of the main drawbacks of openly declaring membership to a particular group is that you are instantly associated with the stereotypes of said group. While i respect the concept of maintaining a pure body, to me it seems more of a trend than anything else. Same as someone who boasts about being christian or whatever it may be. I see nothing wrong with identifying with a particular set of beliefs or ideals but when you start declaring yourself as one thing over another it comes off as a tad showy or self righteous (IMO). This only reinforces negative stereotypes and continues the cycle. I was never a drinker or a smoker for that matter (mainly because of sports) and while most of my friends were, they respected my decisions and I theirs. Again, I'm not knocking the "lifestyle", I'm simply trying to provide possibly some insight into my view of it.

Also, for those who don't know, negative camber is the greatest thing since sliced bread(panera). Even tire wear is for city busses and the elderly.

it would seem, if your friends dont understand your reasons for doing things and then make fun of you for it, that it would make sence to make new friends. id rather have a close 2-3 friends that really understand me and are there for me than have 15-30 friends who will flake on you and who dont respect your decisions.
im not sure if that makes sence in other peoples head, sorry for the poor grammar.

I carry a cheap pressure gauge in my glovebox with which to manually check my tire pressures, but I keep forgetting that in the USA glovebox space is sacred as it is reserved exclusively for the purpose of storing handguns.
Like i said, in my opinion. You are welcome to yours. I was merely providing you with a possible reason why people might be pigeonholing you into categories you dont feel are representative of you.

in my experience anyone that doesnt understand or ridicules you for your choices likely has a problem with chemicals themselves.
