riots in london,enfield.

[grimysparks80]

I Went the other way. Had a really poor attendance record at school. Started off by skivving off occasionaly and once i realised nobody was going to punish me i did it all the time. Spent a lot aof time getting into mischief and finished up with an attendance record of less than 50%.
After leaving school with pretty decent grades(all bs and cs) i spent the next 3 years bumming around doing odd jobs befor lucking into an apprenticeship.

I couldnt agree more with the above post. What i really needed at that age was a good kicking and someone to make me focus on school.
Im doing pretty well now but could have done much more with my life if id just applied myself.

Good for you Grimy!

I forgot something, saw a BBC prog the other week where they were saying that adolescent brains go into complete overdrive and that's why they're the nutters they are! They need a good thrashing now and again!

yeah mate couldnt agree more i have 2 teenage daughters and always tried to teach them the morals i was taught I got up to things at school and whilst younger but when the teacher cracked you one or caned you it resulted in knowing were you stood and calming your attitude down I never went home and told me dad for the fear of getting another crack as i had done wrong
the times we have had to go in school over one thing and another like bullying etc etc is a joke my dad would have killed me after first time were todays kids seem to get away with everything and given everything instead of earning it and i truly cant rememeber him ever hitting me but remember the fear of god in case he did to me he was always a giant and someone to be scared of so i knew when to shut up and behave

Whatever your thoughts on the riots in England and who or what is to blame
My own belief is that in all of nature there is structure and discipline

A line has to be drawn for a child that says,"that far" but do not cross
The line for this society has become faded possibly by curtailing discipline in schools,work,social life

The punishments for crossing that line have also been blurred,the severity may not be the deterent it needs to be at the outset

Lack of discipline is also a failure of society to its young ones,they need clear lines drawn and consequences for overstepping that line
They also need hope encouragement and activities,

Justice Kamikaze style! A lightweight crimefighting glove containing a fistful of cool gadgetry has been designed for the police. The glove deters violence but, in case negotiations break down spectacularly a safety pull-pin preps the four wrist electrodes to function as a stunner and a button in the palm unleashes half a million volts of electricity to temporarily incapacitate the target. Other buttons activate a laser pointer for impromptu PowerPoint presentations, HD video camera for filming your own justice based reality TV show and flashlight for lighting said show. If that's not enough, customisations are available on request. I think they should include a cup holder, and a pencil sharpener.
