I don't know if that made sense, so here are some examples: When one thinks of Pagans and Witches, they think of Satan-worshiping people who sacrifice animals and put hexes on people. This is partially due to lies put forth by the Christian church, but also because a few stupid people have done bad things in the name of Paganism, and unfortunately, that's what stands out to people. MOST Pagans and Witches are peaceful, nature-loving people who's only "spells" are done for gain, protection, happiness, or prosperity. The Wiccan Rede (our "code of ethics" if you will) state, "Do what thou wilt, and harm ye none."

Can't really say that now, since I drink, but I still avoid smoking. And, although I'm a virgin, it doesn't mean that I don't think about sex. :thinking: That program indeed sounds very amusing, and interesting. I was straight edge until I hit 21.

Too bad that they are treated like that at some places - here in Germany the term isn't even widely known so I think it's not that much of a "problem"... hehe your comment made me smile :)

It's a sort of scene within the hardcore community, and also a life-choice. People who are straight edge do not take drugs (including cigarettes and alcohol) and they lead a generally healthy, poison-free lifestyle. You can read up on the history of it over at <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Straight_edge" rel="nofollow">wikipedia</a>.

Totally shitty. I expected more along the lines of actually finding sxe bands and filming them (but maybe they did and I just missed it?).
