Which would be great, if Punk or Straightedge preached "Don't get addicted."
As it is, your counterargument kind of lacks any substance. And speaking of lacking substance.... Quote:
It's even cuter, since telling me I don't understand straightedge pretty much demonstrates that you don't. Quote:

I'm pretty sure the guy trying to rebut "Caffeine is a drug" with "yeah, but that doesn't mean he's addicted" in defense of Punk has no grounds to question my understanding of the concept.
Well, he does, but it falls under "pot calling the kettle black." But hey, why let that get in the way of questioning me? |

You called it a vice. I was simply clarifying that liking a product doesn't make it a crutch for survival.
And I have no idea what you reference in terms of "pot calling the kettle black". You seem to think that "straight edge" means no drugs, of any variety, ever. But, that's not exactly how it works. You offer a guy morphine when you take out a bullet, he's going to accept. The people that function under the "straight edge" flag refuse the intake of substances that the general public looks at as potentially harmful. Not soda-pop. Sure, you'll have your vegans in analogy to the straight edge vegetarian, but they're not so common and even less popular. And for the record, I find straight edgers to be blind followers of an invisible leader; I'm not defending the practice or the pride. But trying to rip on the guy for drinking Pepsi as a resort to calling him a fraud is a little ridiculous. |

Well actually, Punk's fanboys often laud how he's refused drugs for legitimate medical attention, and he has often bragged about how he doesn't take shit like that. Now, not all straightedgers believe that shit like tylenol and caffeine are bad (Nor do they necessarily believe casual sex is bad), but that doesn't appear to be Punk's belief structure, based on, you know, what he's said about himself specifically. So yeah, drinking caffeine, which is a drug, is hypocritical. And you'll notice McGruff didn't bother telling us not to drink. |

Caffeine is among the most commonly listed substances in the taboos list. But that aside, it's not only a drug, it's more harmful than a lot of the shit they abstain from. But that's moot. We're talking about CM Punk. Not your "average" straightedge, we're talking about a guy who does refuse painkillers for serious injuries, or so his fanboys have brought up a million times. Quote:

1. Yes. It is an application. And you've just blown it off. 2. When was Punk shot? 3. Yeah, I know. I mentioned that spectrum. 4. Actually, it comes from my not caring or knowing what he allegedly preaches. Pay attention to the conversation -- or, at least, practice what you preach, and don't "make stuff up". 5. From personal experience, it is true, and you are wrong. Granted, my phrase of "things the general public considers potentioally dangerous" is my wording, and not that of the Se'ers that I call friends and/or acquaintances. And yeah, some don't use painkillers unless the situation is extreme. But only one that I"ve met is anti-caffeine. So, I guess I just happen to know all the people that make up your minority of "morally flexible" SE'ers. 6. Once again, it was not a "rebuttal". It was affirming the fact that using a product doesn't make it a "vice", regardless of your convenient choice of definition. 7. Of course, now that you've gone on a tyrade about how wrong I am, it was all simply a joke. That's why it took so much focus to point out my flawed logic. Gotcha. 8. I don't know Punk's lifestyle. And I don't give a shit. I'm just pretty sure your view is skewed on the generalization of the lifestyle that he does a poor job of representing in the first place, and I'm thinking it comes from your weird obsession with the man you claim to dislike on a fairly powerful level. |

Quote:
I don't know much about straight-edge, but I know this much about it: There are several different variations of it. Some have a thing against promiscuous sex, for example. I doubt Punk uses that strand, because he's been with every female in the industry. Caffeine may be a drug, but while I'm not going to say no form of straight-edge prohibits caffeine (I'm sure there would be an extreme form of it that does), I know many that do not. I've always understood straight-edge as a cultural discipline, and not a health one. The "edge" people I know don't want to conform to the normal social traps that a lot of others fall into (sex, drugs, alcohol). I don't know too many people that have "Pepsi raves." From a young age, you are introduced to things like Coca Cola. I'm not going to argue the science of it (you're a daft dickhead if you think that is the point), but it's generally regarded as not being something that effects your life too badly, whereas something like snorting cocaine off a dirty dashboard might. I know someone who is straight-edge because they don't want to be at the mercy of substances. It's more about how others perceive them. Alcohol and drugs put someone in a state of intoxication where they are not in control of their behaviour, cannot operate a vehicle, and become a burden onto others. It's not so much about their personal health as how they choose to interact with other people. I'm not straight-edge myself, and I only know a few people who are, and many are way too overzealous with the way they advertise their beliefs, but I'm fairly certain I'm not questioning their beliefs based on the childish observation that "caffeine is a drug." No shit! Did you know that dolphins and whales are mammals? Last edited by Mr. Nerfect; 06-12-2008 at 07:10 AM. |

I'm sure the guy is not a heroin dealer, like KK obviously is, but I can't see how this can be "good" for Yang, as you said. Unless he learns from it, which was my intended point. He did something wrong, and I hope he can right it. Or at least rebound without too many consequences, because I really like watching the guy. |

This is getting sadder and sadder for Akio. I really hope he can kick his addiction and exorcize his inner demons.

Hahaha. Also, I was thinking the other day, how awesome would it be if James Yun played both Jimmy Wang Yang and Akio on WWE TV? Yang would be his plucky babyface persona, and Akio would be his hired thug persona on ECW, or something.
