"You would probably get beat up for saying stuff like this."

Nothing makes me feel older than seeing just how sheltered folks are today. Growing up, if someone called you a faggot, the reasonable response would be 'get fucked'.

Last time I got beaten up, it was 1am on a weekend in Paisley, I was drunk and told a group of neds to fuck off when they said they wanted my headphones. That kind of shit builds character. These days it would result in years of therapy.
