not where i live ..

some skinheads i find scary .. they dress to intimidate and there is (depending on the type of skinhead) the neo-nazi connection.

but goths ? they're about as scary as a glass of milk...

uh, chocolate milk in this case ..



and i'm not lactose intolerant.

Most of the time, they dress to be scary because they're really marshmallows and don't want to get beat up. We went to this local concert a few years ago, and they had a lot of these gothy guys all dressed up in their spikes doing security. Well, this one strung out guy (crankhead) started some trouble, and the security went over there trying to be tough. The guy got in one of the goth's faces, and the "security" ended up lying outside on the pavement, hyperventilating.
I know it's mean, but we laughed our asses off.
I think it's a defense mechanism.

Yeah, but you live in Canada. Canada and Missouri are like...two other things that are comparably different...

I don't have a credit card, and since the site says 'Fuck' and 'Shit' on every page, my parents won't lend me theirs.

And yes, that is the exact reason people are scared of goth people. Every fucking mall I go to, everyone will get out of line to let me go first because they're scared of me. I've had old women in wheel chairs duck down and cower when I smiled at them. I mean, WTF!?

@Olivia
Not all of us are marshmallows....Work in tree removal for 4 years. :D

Well, of course not ALL of them are pussies.....you can't make an absolute statement like that. However, I would venture to say at least 50% of so called "goths" are using their appearances as a shield. Of course, the West coast goth is a breed all its own....I used to work at a pretty trendy coffee shop (gag) and when you sit down and talk to some of them, they say the dumbest things you can imagine. They rant about the "system" and "conformity" and "bringing down the fascist machine" and then use their cell phones to call their mom to beg for fifty more dollars to buy some new pants from Hot Topic.

Oh, that's nice. :p

in fact, today I was at the grocery store, was walking along behind someone in the aisle. Not because I was following them, but because the aisle was crowded and she was the only one moving. She turned around and saw me, flat out said 'you scared me' and as I walked away to find the sweet and sour sauce (fucking stuff is hard to find), I overheard her saying something about 'someone in all black behind me'
I had a nice laugh to myself about that

this is why... *singing off-key* ladadada, i fucking hate... *more singing off-key* deedumdeedum, hollywood horror... *not quite hitting a high C* :o

Nice singing.:p
I've said the same thing many times.....Hollywood makes it nearly impossible to find the sweet and sour sauce.....bastards.

the only thing that the covenant has going for it, is the fact that the trailer has stabbing westward music in it.
