Recent Riots

[whiskeryron]

Hopefully now that the police are rounding up the Feral perpetrators of the free for all smash & grab raids,things will begin to settle down,however things will never be normal because now that the gangs know how easy it was to 'help yourself ' I cannot help but think it can happen again,should we not therefore realise that this is now the time to rethink the whole law & order regime.I would suggest that money be redirected from building new prisons to set up so called boot camps where the Feral children would be taught the discipline so neglected over the last 20/30 years,depending on the amount of time they spent there then maybe just maybe they could be turned into useful citizens.

no need for that whiskyron just build some more naughty steps

[ummmm]

20/30 years? Why does that keep coming up?

I wouldn't have dreamed of doing some of the things my mother and her siblings got up to. The discipline she was brought up with would have had the kids taken into care in this day and age.

Yes ummmm grew up where father was not loath to bring out the belt,but never ever broke the law.lesson to be learned perhaps?

[Ankou]

i suppose i fit in to the 20/30 years category.

i can remember when i was very little, it was skinheads and hells angels running riot in the streets and duffing up anyone who looked different. i pesume they were the result of the previous generation's parental and disciplinary neglect.

[ummmm]

Well no, like I said, my mother got up to things that I wouldn't have dreamed of doing. She was beaten. I wasn't...

[ummmm]

EXACTLY Ankou....

[lumination]

i agree that people might now realize how easy to is to just rebel, so something should defiantly be done, but i dont know what it should be!

[Ankou]

i blame the grandparents

[Bbbananas]

They weren't all children though, were they? I was reading this morning about privileged Uni Grads, student teachers.....

and the 'father' who strapped his toddler in her buggy so he could take her into the rioting town so she could witness "part of her history"... words fail me. When asked isn't it rather a dangerous place to deliberately take a child his answer was "Oh, I'll take her home if it gets dangerous".

[tommy-h]

When did this idea first come about "that people carry on behaviour passed down from their abusers ) this seems to give an excuse to perps for all kinds of indecency

[Bbbananas]

I blame all the 'e' numbers...

[mccfluff]

i blame wham bars

[ummmm]

Ahhh....get what you mean now Tommy (great name :-)) I thought you were hinting about lack of beatings that the youngsters are getting nowadays...

Good point as i have yet to see the abolition of "spare the rod and spoil the child" have any beneficial effect of lawlessness in out society..........quite the opposite.

ummmm.

<<<20/30 years? Why does that keep coming up?>>>>

Yeah! me too..........maybe there is something in it?

[Ankou]

i blame wham.

bad boys, freedom and everything she wants are the route cause of the 2011 looting. they have a lot to answer for.

[Bbbananas]

what are wham bars ummm? Are they the flakey ones that Andrew Ridgeley eats?

[Old_Geezer]

"When did this idea first come about "that people carry on behaviour passed down from their abusers )"

From observation. Doesn't apply to all who were abused, obviously, but it does happen. And recently there was a report that birds are affected in the same way. It's to do with reasons rather than excuses. One ought not hide facts or burn books simply because we'd rather not discover things are as they are.

[ummmm]

Just because you don't beat your children Sqad, doesn't mean they are spoilt.

I wasn't beaten....I can only recall being smacked on the bum on two occasions by my mum. My Dad never hit me.

Would I have dared to disrespect me parents or elders....absolutely not!

[Bbbananas]

As ummm said above - I was smacked by my mum very occasionally and dad never ever hit me. But we all had respect and knew right from wrong.
