|The skinhead movement is a bunch of uneducated, racist juvenile delinquents.
|They tout the absurdity of white supremacy to the world as a way to make 
|themselves feel that their inability to make anything of their lives is a 
|result of some great "black consipracy", and not their unwillingness to work 
|for their own betterment.  For all intents and purposes, they are the teens
|of the KKK.
|
|How is this not a terribly evil thing?

|Spare us, please.  This sort of bigoted trash the world can do without.

	Hey, Bob (if that's really your name), listen up.

	YOU are a bigoted asshole.

	The skinhead community, just like many others,
	has certainly got its share of rightwing dodos
	aching for extinction.

	But also, like many others, there are some
	pretty amazing people among them who don't
	share those views.

	How well does a skinhead using the net fit in
	with your tiny concepts?

	John has asked for help to overcome the image
	problem that skinheads seem to have - you better
	find out what he's got in mind before you open
	your mouth.

Growl,
