I couldn't put it any better than joinerjohn, get rid of this ridiculous human rights act, end groups such as "liberty" and punish criminals to the full extent of the law.
There is no discipline anymore and this is probably due to parents simply not having the time to spend with their children anymore to teach them respect and values. They have no respect for peoples feelings, property or right to be left alone and this sort of behaviour will only speed up the process of social justice coming about.
I think thats more to do with the war on family values that labour has conduted in the last 14 years, combined with there obsession with promoting single parents and homosexuality as viable alternatives, its simply undermined massively the morality of we had in the 1960's.
These kids are just lacking all forms of common sense, a lad who lives over the road from me found a half used tin of blue paint next to a neighbours bin and decided he could put it to good use by throwing it all over the garages behind my house?! this same tw*t was sitting at the bus stop and hitting the ground with a golf putter?? the parents must have been able to hear the bloody racket this lad was making but just sit indoors drinking stella and ignoring his wrong doing
I think that the parents of the children who cause this trouble should be the ones who are punished, if the child knows that their parents will face the consequences of their actions they may think twice before breaking peoples property and generally being unpleasant little b*stards.
The problem is the state has removed your right to be responsible for your kids. If yo uactually tried to control kids in the way kids were controlled in the 60's, you woudl have child protection onto you. Having removed your ability to control your kids, the state offers no alternative, effectively giving kids the right to do what they like. Combine that with the nonsensical concept of 'childrens rights', and you have kids who can do what they like, protected by the law.
This whole looney left PC concept that everything and its dog has 'rights' is the crap thats at the heart of it. It utterly fails to recognise that rights carry responsibilities, and that rights have to be earned with a reciprocal amount of responsibility, and further more 'rights' are an abstract human concept connected with the rise of 'civilisation'.. Its taken to its absurd limit with the concept of 'animal rights', one of the most nonsensical concepts ive ever encountered. How can an animal, who is not par tof our society, is not human, cannot hold responsibilities, indeed doesnt even have the intelligence to understand the previous three ideas, have 'rights'? and if one animal has rights, then all animals must have rights, all the way down to bacteria!!! Does a Zebra have rights when killed an eaten by a lion ? At what point do you draw your imaginary line? if some onimals have rights and some dont, then who decides, and how and why ? Its SUCH ****.
Animals, and indeed kids, dont have 'rights', but we as intelligent adult humans have 'obligations', a much better concept. I am obliged as a reasonable person, not to be cruel or to abuse kids or animals. In return for my acceptance of these obligations, i get various liberties i take protected by law, such as the liberty to trial by jury, the liberty not to be tortured by the police etc.
