Response to something I said...

After on the old message boards I wrote, "But who cares what hardliners/hate edgers think anyway..." this is what one somehad had to say to me in reply. Might I add, there are some astoundingly good points in here that I am going to use in future reference, thanks a lot mate :)

buddy....we've emailed before,
you seemed to genuinely feel bad for criticizing hardliners unfairly and stereotyping us...its wrong to say all sXers are hardliners, and its wrong to say all hardliners are bad...Im writing this because in your message board you wrote something to the degree of " but who cares what they think, anyway?" referring to hardliners and hate edgers and their supposed views on sXe kids who turned sXe after already using.

First off, when things were bad for sXe, the hardliners are who kept it up...even when sXe was a joke and people called it a trend..hardliners kept the faith . Life can be violent, and if attacked for being sXe..I will attack to defend myself...wearing X's doesn't make you automatically some belligerent asshole, man....Im proud to be sXe...its a deep inner strength I draw on...and I have been strong enough inside to NEVER fuck around with drugs, smoking, or drinking.

SOOO many people I meet tell me" wow I wish I had done that, you've got some serious will power" ..its a trait that is very commendable, and yes...drugs are an escape, and only the weak feel they need to escape. In my life, Ive dealt with abusive parents, family, police brutality, racism, prejudice against sXe and gang violence...but not once did I give up and just try to check my pain at the door.

It's that kind of dedication that hardliners have, that kind of heart about keeping clean...thats why hardliner kids are so fucking cool..those assholes in the Time article aren't hardliners, they're shit kicking , overly relgious hicks...if you can't see the difference, then maybe you should give your position at straight-edge.org to someone with more understanding.

My body isn't poisoned , my mind isn't poisoned, Im not afraid to fight for something I believe in, I have been in a gifted school for most of my life, I eat meat, I try to help friends who aren't sxe , at least when they try to quit their habits....its natural to eat meat, we have canine teeth...those are for meat...what isn't natural is altering perception of reality for shits and giggles, or defiling nature's creation.

and In regards to that arguement against meat eaters , about how more food can be grown to feed more people if its potatoes or some shit....there's about 6-8 billion peopl ein the world, and that number is rising fast. We ruin, we breed, we coddle our weak...in direct defiance of nature...drugs are so huge because people don't need to keep their wits about them anymore...if you needed to be clear headed to survive, you'd be clear headed...but all kids have these days is going home from school, doing homework, and little else. Smokeup? why not, got nothing better to do.

Civilization has hurt the world, and now mankind thinks it should alter its natural diet, rely of vegetables and products it wouldn't naturally have, all to free up more space to grow more of the same, to feed more people .cities get more dense, people move out, animals have less space. They die off or only exist in zoos....time passes, mankind is extinct, and with it everything else. the earth will be scorched, every animal extinct, and the last remaining humans weak from protein deficiency and an abundance of celluloid which runs rampant in vegetables....fat, weak, and using everything else for our whims. and a lack of protein to deal with , over time, will de-evolve the kidneys into a weaker state, and thereby more succeptable to fail. Think nature, think big picture, over time.

just THINK
