kellywild i agree with you about council tenants, most of the tenants i visit on a day to day basis are hard working and just getting by like most of us.
the problem with the youths and other scum doing this is they have no sense of society and decency, people can bleat on about the youths lack of opportunity and prospects but that is utter nonsence, most of it is down to parenting and the values you gain from good parents.
if your parents have a dole scrounging dont give a stuff attitude then its only natural youngsters are going to emulate what they have learned from their own blood, if you add in these feral scum putting peer pressure on their more gullible mates and the fact they feel untouchable and the lack of any real punishments then they will run riot to get what they cant get thru normal hard work.
lack of true physical discipline in schools at a secondary school stage has been the major underlying factor in where we are today. you always used to get the hardnuts that would take any punishment but the majority would toe the line thru fear of pain, now there is no fear of physical hurt
the idiots that have been on the news demanding respect from adults and police sum it all up really.
respect, as i was taught, was always earned thru your actions and how you treat people around you.
yesterday i was in a flat changing a meter listening to 2 chav scum laughing about what had happened over the weekend while smoking dope, it honestly took all my willpower to not react to them and threaten them with a pipe wrench just to see them in fear
