What makes a man hit another man?

Asked by ucme (50047points) November 8th, 2010

Yeah for those who may recognise, it’s a lyric from a Depeche Mode song. People are People as it happens. Good song listened to it the other day, as is my want. Anyway, thought i’d post said lyric as a question on here. Lazy I know but there you go. So, interpret the question however you like. All answers appreciated, within reason naturally.

Anger. Lack of restraint. Stupidity. War. Many sports. Wow. I think I’ll stop here before I get too depressed.

I was hit by another man once. It was due to immaturity and because he had a thing for the girl I was with. It hurt.

The angrier that you get, the more that clobbering the offending party looks attractive.

@Blondesjon Which leads me to wonder, when you take a meeting with the firm, do you prefer to meet with Booze, or Pussy?

Blondesjon's avatar

wundayatta's avatar

Well you sure know how to do it! It’s no wonder you are my role model!

$3000. Half up front, half after the hit.

@Simone_De_Beauvoir Well then it appears you have excellent taste.

@lucillelucillelucille Say that when drunk, in the voice of thylvethter. Oh go on, just this one time :¬)

I thought Martin was singing “hate,” not “hit”. Or have I just got a tin ear for the Essex accent?

Either way, such a man usually hates himself as well.
