Hippies: They're scum.

But perhaps that's wee bit over-cruel. So, by way of penance here are some nice things about hippies.

• They're pacifists and therefore won't defend themselves as you kick their stupid hippie heads in.
• They don't wash giving the blind a warning of their presence and a reason to hate them thus promoting equal opportunities.
• They often have drugs which you can steal after clattering their heads in with a pipe.
• They don't take up valuable jobs. Dole money, yes, but not jobs
• They are good targets for hippie-seeking missiles.
• Hippies try and use crystals for healing themselves so aren't a big part of the NHS waiting list problem or lines at emergency rooms.
• Hippies try and use crystals for healing themselves so often die.
• Some girl-hippies have nice boobs and a predilection for nudity. With a little concentration you can pretend the boobs are floating hippy-less on their own and enjoy them.
• Some boy-hippies also get naked. With a little effort you can get them send down for indecent exposure and enjoy the thought of a jailed hippie.
• There is always the chance that a fire-spinning hippie might catch ablaze lending much-needed excitement to their "performances".
• Given how they look, act and smell a hippie is very, very unlikely to steal your partner.
• They make you feel better about your own dress sense.
• They have mangy looking dogs on crappy leads which they then knock off train platforms giving you a chance to save the dog and look all heroic throwing heroes off your villainous scent.
• They are not mimes.
