That's a tragedy for the people involved and the community which supports them. Did they get the little sh1ts? Handling kids with kid (sorry) gloves is not the way to go. No one teaches them respect and that actions have consequences. In the days when the local copper could kick them up the b.side and drag them home to mum and dad for the real punishment, these things were much better controlled. There's a young girl living in this park with her boyfriend. She had her 17th birthday yesterday, and I have a feeling she'll do better than her mother ever did. She has a 13yo brother who's intellectually slow, probably because of the drugs and booze mum had while she was pregnant. The lovely young girl is looking for a job, and plans to go to TAFE next year to top up her basic literacy and computer skills. Her boyfriend has 2 jobs - he's about 19. Today he was painting a roof in the Cairns heat.
What's wrong with this picture? This lack of respect among the young ones is so frustrating to me. It has to be fixed!

We love acronyms. There is ADD, ADHD and one that I love, L O D. My term for ADD, Lack Of Discipline. Some of us, hopefully not many but enough have not taught our offspring respect for other peoples property etc. We see it every day. I posted a thread earlier about an incident in a car park. rudeness is rife and will get worse. It is the "if I can't get what I want I will take it " syndrome. Don't think it is going to get any better unfortunately. The minority who act in anti-social ways are like the squeaky wheel. Do we bring back conscription? What do we do, the way youngsters act today makes me remember the movie, "A clockwork orange". don't want that reality. Anyway we will have to live in hope that the new generation of parents are going to do the business and teach their children the right way.
Terro.

I call it TATADDs. Thong Across The Ass Deficit Disorders. The kids play computer games in which they kill the characters today, and start again tomorrow. They don't understand D E A D, nor the real life implications of violence. Then they listen to music on the iPod. If you have heard this music you will know a lot of it has very violent, anit-social lyrics. This is then pounded straight into the brain via high volumes through ear plugs. I walked past a young person in the shopping centre and I could hear what they were listening to. It's rap crap, street music or "doof doof". Some of the lyrics are kind and loving, but most are very anti-social. Then these kids are let loose on society in the street. And then they drive cars. What hope do we "old fashioned, respectful" folk have?

I cant get with this generation, (gee where have I heard that before) but they seem hell bent on destruction including themselves
what do they think is going to replace the missing outlets, where are their jobs coming from, where is their town heading to, they just dont stop and think!
we have all sorts of operations installed to combat this sort of dribble with our youngsters but the trouble is we build one orginisation this year and next year we need two, it escalates instead of declines,
we run out of volunteers before we run out of initiates
This type is not interested in jobs or the future , they know the tax payer will keep on supporting them, its guarenteed each week, a job is not , & leaves less time for destruction.
It is beleived they were taking large truck tyres from behind the shop at night & rolling them out onto the street in frint of cars. The centre built a steel cage to store tyres in & lift onto a truck for disposle, so they lit the crate full.
