Agreed Kev, largely because they are taught more about their 'rights' than they are about respect! not saying we should beat our kids but am I the only one who can see a correlation between a decrease in punishment and discipline and an increase in anti social behaviour and the social decline of our country?

I suppose it's especially a problem of the big cities. The smaller the town the better do the people know one another. But in a big city people are quite anonymous, and that decreases the inhibition level to destroy someone else's property. It's like in a war. There people don't hesitate to kill the other person.

But I was grown up in a village and there were also brawls. Also arsons. And some people could be very mean sometimes.

Maybe it's an illusion to hope that people will live without trouble some day. Where people live there will always be problems. Many people have even trouble with their spouses.

yeah im new to this whole forums thing but you read any paper stab stab stab on every page, watch the news stab stab stab, dont blame the criminals well yeah obviously blame them they did it,
