Would You Still Like To Put The Boot In?
Ah, memories. Yesterday I lovingly put a nice coat of black shoe polish on my brand new Doc Martens cherryreds. So, while I was waxing along, I had sweet memories of hanging out in the late 70s/early 80s with the crowd in Berlin - a good selection of stylish mods, but a nice helping of hard mods, who you could always count on to back you up in a fight with boneheads.
Now, ever since then I've calmed down, got a career, etc. But, damn, sometimes I just feel like putting on a Ben Sherman, a pair of Sta Prest trousers, Doc Martens,my green bomber jacket, and braces and kicking some boneheads' head in.
Of course, I never do it. I'm an adult. I'm grown-up.
But reading some of those ignorant skinhead sites sure gets your blood boiling. On a fairly large board there are thousands of post bashing blacks, Asians, etc.
But when Laurel Aitken got his massive heart attack, seven people responded to a post about that.
What a shame. Sorry for the rant.

No. Unequivocally no.
Violence breeds violence. Two wrongs don't make a right.
No no no.

I think at our age, we should have moved on/got over this sort of thing.

Re: Would You Still Like To Put The Boot In?
I was never into it back in '79 either...
It just seemed to happen...
Probably something to do with "that film".

Re: Would You Still Like To Put The Boot In?
No doubt about it, it was a bit of a laugh at 16. Like the Pirahnas said, '...it's part of growing up.' But I've done that now, and no, I've no real urge to batter anyone. I still get angry, really angry sometimes, but as a big boy now I'm able to use common sense and behave. Fighting's nasty and snide now too, there's no end to it.

Re: Would You Still Like To Put The Boot In?
As a young person, I do get very aggresive at times but I really don't see the need for violence. Its pathetic and, quite frankly, hate breeds hate. Im too happy at the moment to be violent towards anyone and I just really don't see the point in it.

Re: Would You Still Like To Put The Boot In?
I have to say that as soon as you do don yer Benny and boots, something does come over you! The way you walk turns into a stride and your attitude becomes a little more aggressive/carefree. But no, even though i may feel like punchin' the nearest sad twat, i wouldn't! Snot cool. Suppose that's the Mod in me! I'd be cowering in the corner yelling 'Not the face, for the love of GOD, not the face!'
