:yes: It does seem like we can't do anything )othr than sitting on our arses all day) without it being seen as 'wrong'...
You cant do that either, because you'll get fat.
Basically you need to go to school, get lots of exercise, eat healthy food and never be seen or heard by any adults other than your parents.
It does seem like that.
There's a little sweet shop near me, on the edge of a very popular housing estate just off a main road. On the main road, there is a large primary school at one end, and a very large high school on the other. Obviously, children from this housing estate go to these schools, and loads of kids cut through the estate to get to the shop.
You'd think they'd be loving the business they get an hour befor closing every night.
But no. Only 2 children wearing school uniform, or of school age, are allowed in at a time.
I went in at school leaving time the other day, since I now can and I asked if they had problems with stealing or something from the pupils in the past.....
But no. Never, apparently, not that they know of. They just don't want more than 2 school children in at a time for the very very obvious reason of...............
it's too noisy. :eek: I mean, that's just pathetic if you ask me.
It's like that at one of the shops near the loal secondary school.
About 3 years ago, we had a policeman coming into chool to talk to us. He said that they were going to reinforce a law of some sort so that if there's a group of children hanging around outside a shop or something, the police could move them on, becaus of course any child who is hanging around is going to cause trouble...:rolleyes:
Actually it can be very intimidating and i would rather they are moved on too. Many old people get scared of going to shops for this reason.
I couldn't quite believe it.
Actually a child is someone under 15. You are a young adult.
People get scared when walking past a group of kids. They shouldn't have to but they do as OFTEN kids shout out stupid things. I have seen it happen.
You might not give a toss about old people or anyone for that matter getting scared but i do.
Same here. And I've had 4 year old kids (maybe 5) shout random crap at me.:rolleyes:
Exactly. That and red meat, cereal, air, water, meteors, killer bees and whatever else is meantto kill them this week.
I just want to know, and the article didn't mention this, who were the sad fuckers who complained in the first place?
According to Wikipedia, hopscotch has been around, in one form or another, since Roman times so chances are, unless the people who complained are 3,000 years old, I'd wager my grandmother that they played it aswell in their youth and weren't threatened with a fucking A.S.B.O. for their troubles. It harms no-one, causes no criminal damage (or none that can't be washed away with a cup of water) and keeps the kids from robbing up old ladies. I really don't see what the problem is.
I can see it now "ASBO for playing hopscotch". Sad twats.
:yes: That person probably want all children to just play video game or something...
That's what you get in a country where only old stupid cunts have any power.
