Kids of today - Page 4

Can we call it "Some kids today" and agree to agree on that? I can't imagine any adult climbing the memorial but if anyone knows any different I'm willing to stand corrected.

The fact is that some kids today are far more disrespectful than any I ever knew in my day.

There's somethng frightening happening and perhaps it takes an old fogey or two to actually notice it. If you grew up with it around you maybe it's not so apparent.

Maybe this is what i should have called it in the first place, as i said in an earlier post my wording was a bit loose and could have been better, I don't post often but my wording can only get better with practice, i'd say a lesson learned for next time.

Somewhere along the line this thread seems to have gone off track,but my main reason for starting this thread was about the respect or lack of it that a group of teenagers were showing over the cenotaph.

I feel that the cenotaph should hold a special place in society as a lot of people died in the wars trying to make it a better place for us. At the end of the day everyone is entitled to their own opinion, this is mine someone elso my hold a different point of view entirely, but thats what debate is there for.

I must say that this thread cheered me up no end. A big thank you to all who have posted on here and please, can we have some more fun threads like this, I don't care on what subject as long as a laugh as much as I did today.

Maybe we could have a poll on the funniest comment in this thread

Yeah, it might of been actually. I dont like cats either. They infest your bin bags and c*ap all over your garden. But its not a major thing, I can live with it. Kittens are nice

Naaaaaaaaa....... its the "in" thing to do around here if you tell kids off for doing something wrong !

Madhatter · 26-01-2006, 09:21

Is it the 'in' thing to tell kids off, tar them all with the same brush, then feather them?
Is that why they think it's the in thing to react the way they do to the adults doing it. Is it all one big circle, going round and round. adults get on to kids, kids get revenge, adults get on to kids as revenge, ...... We rarelly get any problems here, perhaps you should all move down here.

WillowTheWhisp · 26-01-2006, 10:21

So what do you reckon the solution is Madhatter? Should be just ignore the little darlings who throw rubbih in our garden or decide to pull up the plants when they are bored for fear of getting our windows "egged"?

No. Keep a garden spade (from your gardening) at arms reach. When they do return, hit them (with slight force) over the head. I have a feeling, they wouldnt return.

Then do the sensible thing and deny all later charges. I will stick up for you

lol@madhatter .....

Are you saying that when kids are causing a nuisance or damage to someones property you shouldnt tell them off ? Thats all we did when they decided to use my fellas car as a goal post for their football game. Its not them that suffers financially when you go and trade it in and its full of dints.

Football is a game meant to be played on a field, not on a very narrow cul-de-sac where its chock-a-block with cars.
Even my cctv camera on the front of the flat dont seem to put them off

2 streets away we have a massive playing field and also at the end of the street we have a big green. The lad involved makes sure he plays away from his mothers car !

Again. Take your car. And drive into them. They wont mess with your car again.

Easier said than done on this street, hers is a small car and she parks behind a motorbike, when my fella comes up at night in his car the only place available is right outside my flat where they like to play football.
