Well, I just watched Saturday morning TV for the first time in years...
What happened to all the hangover friendly light entertainment? I was
confronted with pubescent teenage girls with their chests contorted to
look like cleavage, lads who are all so fucking alike I SWEAR they came
from some pop research lab and they were all fucking miming at me with
their oh, so fucking sincere faces. Poor fucking kids growing up haven't
a chance with this shit assaulting their minds... This video came on
with a bunch of overprivileged brats talking about 'crashing the mall' -
they went to this place and hassled some poor fuck dressed as a hotdog
giving out free samples of grub. They took his grub and knocked him over
- Overprivileged little cunts hassling the working stiff with the
fucking worst job on the planet. I bet the hotdog guy would teach them
more about rebellion in 5 minutes than they have picked up in their 15
or 16 years on the planet. He probably shoved those free samples up his
ass before they ate them. Fucking rolling around shopping centres
presented as revolution... Wasn't that the Free Radicals (ha ha ha -
free? radical?) or some shit anyway?

I completely agree, that's why I don't watch it. It is all too horrible.

I love you and your thoughts/ideas.
What you said is so true.......cloning pop has taken over. And little shits who have the run of this society get right on my tits (or moobs)
And you hear on the news that smacking kids is now being outlawed, so it will be an offence. Hmm, discipline, seems our Country or the European Union wants a generation of thugs and layabouts.

kid - he set fire to my hair on the bus so I missed my stop to follow him off and kicked him as hard I could up the hole - he started crying into his silk tracksuit/gold chain/sovereign ring/white trainer combo.

but not the piddly and silly law changes that they put onto us.
Anyone old enough or anyone with any intellect will have noticed the general discipline level reducing over the years. And this coincides with the "little shit" scenarios.

a kid how to respect people as opposed to beating them up may be more beneficial...

but I think the issues with discipline are more to do with society's knowledge and tolerance of behaviour. News and they way it is reported, it is like advertising crime, when was the last headline with an upbeat theme? Rape is glorified, Peodophilla exempflified, and you can become a media celebrity if you can kill enough people....sad

for things that I did wrong......I also was taught how to respect as a flip of the same coin. I respect people whole heartedly and would never breed violence.
It's kind of an interesting argument this cos you'll find that nature's discipline is based on smacking/ostracising (spelling?)
Study animal nature progs and you'll see, this includes all apes/monkeys and horses, elephants, dolphins......intelligent species. It works.

but while I dont think you are completely wrong you are not completely right either - we have the highest form of comication of any species - the ones above don't, but I don't think I've ever heardof dolphins chastising one another?

hit as a kid, yet I also know how to respect people - not out of fear of punishment but just knowledge. I don't obey law at all - I just use my common sense and don't go round killing people and the like...

is that some poeple dont do it because they think it is wrong and some don't because they are afraid to get caught and dont like the idea of being punished, to smack or not to smack - a conundrum(fuk I cant spell that)

that have brought society to where it is, regards discipline it's not as simple as hitting = discipline, not hitting = less discipline.
I know we all know it's not clearcut but the way it seems to me Society and the whole human race are not going to have a very good future, and that's before you take into account any of the environmental issues which whill only increase the disruptivness of the evolving Society.

Prof - but I think one of the deteriorations is lack of contact, kids with parents, neighbors with neighbors, family the works - the alternate balance is we get to talk to a wider spectrum of people over the net, phone, workplace - is there a happy balance?

to the 'family values' Mr. Major was so keen to impress upon us. The 'kids' today are fully empowered with information readily available to them that their parents often don't have so if information = power then suddenly the power has shifted to the computer literate younger generations and those parents who still only see computers as a thing off Tomorrow's world can get 'blinded by science' (like a "l-a-s-e-r" - Austin Powers) and the kids get a superiority complex and their parents REALLY DON'T understand them.
This is of course only true in some cases, it's impossible to speak generally about it but in a lot of cases it's true, thus increasing the usual amount of teen angst and rebellion to new and worrying levels.

i'm a pacifish, and i was never smacked. i think the for/against-smacking argument misses the point, which is that kids copy their parents. discipline is not mistaken for angry violence, violence is not mistaken for discipline.
