You are right. What do you suggest?
There are plenty of activities really. Scout/guides, joining a debating society, joining school sports teams, taking up a hobby like music, horse riding, swimming. Etc the list goes on and on, it's just not cool anymore is it?
I swear, the town I work in swarms with amenities for teenagers. Youthclub, leisure centre, skate park e.t.c.
None of them fucking use it, they seem to enjoy keeping us company, which is nice haha.
horseiriding where are you from
where i live theres the leisure centre, and shops and erm thats about it and then people wonder why kids resort to vandalising buildings and drugs round here (in east london)
when i was 15 there wa salwys loads of us down park playing football, and well if there was any troublemakers at park there was more than enough of us to stop them doing anything major - peer pressure it called i believe
nowadays its just school dropouts gettin pissed and stoned and destorying what buidling are left
I live close the the countryside hense the horse-riding, tally ho old boy!
But I don't really think liveing in a town pop 60,000 is any different that living in a borough of London, at least on some levels. The kids are still bored shittless, and are too lazy, too stupid, or too 'cool' to take up some of the activities that are actually available.
Perhaps we should be addressing the idea of school drop-outs as well, a better education can only help matters.
but it werent the majority of kids was it, just a couple of twats probably, they should be made to help redesign it in community service i say
Reguardless of class or background, we still have the ability to choose our own actions.
I've been terrorised by teenagers who used to live in the same village as me, they weren't lower class in the least, just wankers.
Wankers are really where the problem lies.
theres always been a % of population who are wankers you cant say that has increased,
So why is it that we are noticing wankers more?
Hmm, perhaps. So other than armed militias roaming the streets, are there any solutions to the wanker problem?
I agree that theres lots for young uns to do, but and theres always a but......it costs too much for them to do activities. You take the average family with 2 kids and work out for yourself how much it costs the parents to send them to different activities.
WE are the Future Give us a chance
ASBOs are going to be a great way of increasing our increasingly privatised prison population.
Some of them are amazing:
Hows about the kid banned from saying the word Grass, in England, until 2010?
And theres the bloke who has been banned "from being sarcastic" ......
Its manna from heaven for Councils, instead of providing services, they can just deal with the problems of bored, disaffected youth and other unfortunates by applying for an ASBO, which is "just a civil matter" - although a breach becomes a criminal matter and can lead to a prison sentence of up to 5 years.
Anyways, back to the "wanker theory"
Children bear the brunt of "anti-social behaviour" measures
Its all part of creating hysteria so they can "divide and rule", innit?
Hi fiend - yesterday you complained that a new thread was started on an existing topic
Today you're complaining that an old thread has been revived.
Consistency isn't your strongest point, is it?
Both are in the boards guide. My problem is with pointless threads. Have you got something new to say? Then by all means start a new thread, if not leave it.
Unable to engage satisfactorily with the theory that there are "more wankers around", and that they could 'riding horses', and thinking that ASBOs pose a real threat to civil liberties, I introduced the issue of ASBOs to the thread.
I hope thats alright with you?
Would you like me to PM you all my posts for your approval in future?
by the way, on your link, i didn't even get down to the part about the Grass bit- i've just gone through about 20 articles about people who are menaces to society, who just make peoples lives miserable. their offences shouldn't land them in jail, but their behaviour should be rectified.
Yup, I had problems linking to the actual article - cos the Guardian is down - luckily its up again - so better link - sorry about that, but I don't have any control over the Guardian's servers.
Excellent idea - here's the relevant passage:
And the date of the last post was 24-08-2004 01:22 PM, which I think you'll find is under a couple of months.
Why is your behaviour so anti-social Fiend?
It might help us deal with the "core question" as defined by QMR!
And, I don't see the point of discussing why a kid says "Grass" or how that gets to be "anti-social behaviour", or how being sarcastic can warrant an ASBO either. So, I think we have to consider what ASBOs are, what role they serve and how they are applied if we are going to examine the issue in a slightly more intelligent way than declaring an unprecendented rise in non-horse-riding "wankers" .........
BTW - I reckon this
addresses this
If I could be so bold as to make a suggestion, why don't we stick to intelligent debate and stop with the "anti-social behaviour" - I left kindergarten a long time ago, and I get a wee bit spikey when I get patronised and picked on by "teachers"
'a bored person is boring'
the true unfortunates are those subject to the unpleasant behaivour from youth
disaffected - tough
instead of the 50% going to Uni target, it should have been 50% going to borstal
Hurrah!!!
That would certainly make the world a better place.......
If you have a little think about it, you might decide the comment was a little "reactionary" - others certainly will think that.
if you post like a kindergartener, you get treated like a kindergartner. when you don't, you don't. simple as.
i don't think the fact that it was 5 days under the two month guide matters. it was an old, dead post.
the point of doing a search is to see if what you want to post or to learn about has already been said. if it has, you read that thread, and learn from what people have said. if you then have something new to say- a totally different tangent- you make a new post. if not, you've read the old debate, you leave it as that and don't bring up old posts.
you'll have noticed that people have been complaining about the repetitiveness of the israel-palestine threads, or the iraq threads.
Well, it looks like its a win/win situation for regulars, and a lose/lose for noobies.
But, I won't let that deter me - although I'd prefer to discuss the topic than have pointless debates about etiquette and semantics
If I might be so bold, there is no indication whatsover that people have really thought through the issues through.
Now, if I'm bored with a topic, or I don't care about, I don't engage with it - and, I'd hate to think that people really are bored with a story about a 13year old girl being riddled with 20 bullets, by the world's self-proclaimed "most moral army", and the investigation finding that no-one did anything wrong.
Anyways, all this "point of order" stuff just seems to detract from the issue, so shall we return to the issue of anti-social behaviour?
An ASBO has been served on 2 brothers aged 10 and 11
Do you think this is the most constructive way to deal with pre-pubescent children, or are there perhaps more creative and personalised ways in which they could be engaged?
Or perhaps they're just "wankers" ?
not now as both sides of every street are lined with a bazillion quids worth of shiny motors!
