Little Punks and their Scooters

Lando Griffin

So I had just put my little baby to bed last night at 8.30pm and the next thing I hear a group of young lads from the ages of 8 to 11 say outside making a racket doing stunts agains the kerb with their scooters and skate boards.
The little one was stirring and I knew that she would wake with the noise.
I went out and told the lads "Do you mind doing that somewhere else as I have a baby in bed and she is waking with the noise, I dont mind you doing it but its a bit late at this hour"
Next one of them pipes up "Oh sorry about that" and they started to disperse.
What the hell I thought, if I was that age I would have back answered and kept scooting.
Whats wrong with these punks, have they no bit of anachary in them.
Your thoughts please.
Has reality TV drained the rebel out of them?

Ye, but back in my day, the man down the road didn't move us on starting with ""Do you mind doing that somewhere else....", he started with "Get your F^&*ing asses away from my house or I'll string you up by yuor neck and....."

So where's the anarchy in you dude? They're a reflection of yourself :cool:

Very respectful children in the Warmoesstraat red light district then..

I know, it's ridiculous. Just the other day I was going for a walk and a 14/15 year old asked me to buy him drink. 'Fine' I says, 'What do you want?'

He wanted a Coca-fcuking-Cola. Was asking me because he didn't have any money on him.

Why didn't he want a shoulder of vodka or something? Where's the law-breaking spirit of my youth? The plucky vim and vigour of stumbling around in a stupour from earliest pre-pubescence?

'T'san outrage.

It's not just the kids. This morning on the LUAS an elderly woman got off but left her purse on the seat. A man took the purse, got off the LUAS (breaking his journey) and chased after her to give it back to her.
I'm still shaking at the act of selfless alturism.

Bring back the "Fcuk You" attitude of the 70's & 80's.

Just well mannered kids, who where brought up well.

It's usually the beer drinking mouthy teenagers who hang in LARGE groups are the ones who are the problem IMO.

The kids youve described there are just normal imho OP, I lived in a nice area/s for about 18years of my life, where the kids were kids but were also polite, and my god i miss that now!

I've spawned and am rearing the next generation. Not a hope of them being OK with me as a moral benchmark.

They tell us parents (in the school) not to have our kids running in the hallways and in the yards (yea, "kids... do not run in the playground" - that will work! Rolls eyes...) yet in the same school yards before and after school, I see kids bringing their contraptions to the yards, spinning around other kids and parents whom are collecting their kids or dropping them off.
While doing so, they are taking the ankles off by accidents, some of those there!

So the kids cannot run in the same areas but its ok to hit a few people a day with their devices!
Besides the issue of school insurance liability - can anyone (as well as me) spot the hypocrisy here?
