What is the problem with these dirty, vile, feral weasel faced shellsuit wearing chavs around Frankley and Northfield? And so soon after someone's been seriously injured by a bus bricking in Ley Hill. It's a shame they can't be put down like vermin. The state of society today is thoroughly depressing.

Boredom, a lack of things to do and a general disregard for other peoples safety. Some I guess do it for a laugh and sod the consequences till they get caught of course and then they is in deep doodoo not like they really care though.

@Trident4590 Unfortunately it is todays society with internet & violent video games and the like make some "youths" think they are above the law so they think it is extremely funny to throw things at moving objects (cars, buses etc).

I disagree. The reason these youths treat society like the way they do, in my opinion, is the strangulation parents are under from fear of being arrested for striking a child.

I do not advocate kicking the constant shit and abuse out of children, but in my day if you disrespected the ticket inspector he'd smack you around the head! Well, if you had the balls to badmouth him.

And somehow your parents always found out and you'd go to bed without dinner and then when dad comes home he'd belt you whilst you slumber.

Either that or smack you around your earhole with the piss-pot at the base of your bed.

Perhaps you'll need to reintroduce a compulsory service to sort these youngers out, unless they - are too busy with facebook and putting make-up on.

Bare faced cheekiness from kids in the street is the most annoying. They know they'd get hurt if WE were the ones to say 'screw the consequences'

@Liverpool Street You are right of course the "You hit me & I'll sue/get you arrested for assault" culture has a lot to answer for. I agree with what you say LS as it is a lot more feasible than what I put. I was part of the old culture if you cheek your folks duck or run or a lot of pain was coming your way if you weren't quick enough lol. Never harmed us much (involuntary twitching of head)

Ha ha ha yeah I get those twitches too ha
But it made us respect our elders, and did what they say.
Children should be seen and not heard. Or if my old man was about 'not seen and not heard until dinner was ready'

Of course like @Tony says previous, changes happen to every geenration

At least we've had the best days
