Enjoyed that.......

Just shows you how the PC brigade has went into overdrive over the last few decades.

[Gianfranco_Z 202]

shows how much things have changed, and makes today look incredibly stupid and worringly cautious.

Good read.

Why go back as far as the 50's? Hell even 10-20 years ago it would still apply....

All this suing each other is thanks to another infection of Yank culture. People afraid to let kids be kids and young men grow up. Its no coincidence the suicide rate of young people has gone up as well, too many expectations.

It all went wrong with arrival of all seater stadia and the disappearance of organised hooliganism.

Never done me no harm.

*violently twitches*

1957 - Jeffrey sent to office and given a good caning by the Principal. Returns to class, sits still and does not disrupt class again.

2007 - Jeffrey given huge doses of Ritalin. Becomes a zombie. Tested for ADD. School gets extra money from state because Jeffrey has a disability.

More realistic scenario for 2007: Jeffrey's mum phoned every five minutes to be told 1) her son's been placed in isolation 2) to come and get him because he's "too much trouble" 3) they shouldnt be expected to get to know him as an individual because "there's 30 other kids in the class y'know", so they'll just treat him as if he's a "bad child" 5) yes, they know they forced you to get him diagnosed against your better judgement but who cares? they'll just pretend he hasnt got the diagnosis now anyway 6) they wont tell you they have certain responsibilites because it costs them money and frankly, its too much hassle 7) they'd love to expel him because its the easy option and will threaten it at least once a week, just to keep your stress levels up.

I remember those looks. Bloody shame the only response to that these days is either "whatever!" or hysterical laughter.

You're right Frank hate violence, though threw a ball of wool at my cat once. Fight ?

Too much taboo with kids going in pubs nowadays. When you think we were going in boozers 13-14 years old, the landlord turning a deaf eye.

Now kids have to go in churchyards or waste ground with flagons of booze, and god knows what theyre up to, but it's out of sight. Drugs, shagging and kicking people to death....

Over the new year period, had a wee group of neds roaming round my street, first time I'd seen them around my patch. they starting banging on a couple of doors (not mine) and , at first, I put it down to horseplay and left them to it, Two doors down there's an old dear who is in her 80's and lives on her own, she went out and gave them dogs abuse "Seeyouyaweebastards,gettaefuckawayfaemadoororamcallinthepolis"

I went out and told them to fuck off but they gave me a wee bit of lip so I done the right thing, I called the OB and said that they were giving the old dear grief and if it carried on then I'd sort them out myself if the OB werent willing to attend. Girl on the other end of the phone said that it didnt sound like an emergency incident so there wouldnt be anyone to attend for a while so I done what I should have done instead of phoning the OB......I went into my tool box, took out my claw hammer, walked out the front door and screamed at the top of my facking voice "COMEONTHENYAWEEBASTARDS"......they promptly dispersed and, as yet, have never returned. ...and old Nancy bought me a half bottle of whisky, nice!

Bloody well done you, not enough people are willing to stand up to the scummy youth these days. And in some respects rightly as you are likely to be stabbed by the lot of them...............

Theres definitely a 'community spirit' lacking in a lot of areas. Luckily people round our way tend to look out for each other, and well done to CM.

The other thing is , theres always been a moral panic about 'feral youths running wild' and can be exagerrated.

Pretty quiet round my way and the kids in general are pretty decent and are no trouble. But you never used to hear of groups of kids turning on innocent people and either kicking the s**t out of them or stabbing them!

I love the way they call them Feral, the image you get from that is hilarious.
