And the sad thing is kids (Under 18's) get away with all this.

I'm not sure what things are like in America, but the youth problem in England is getting extremely bad... with people already being killed and ending up in comas... yet the sad thing is kids can't be punished because they have "rights". The worst that happens to them is that they get an ASBO.

A story I once told someone to demonstrate how bad the situation is becoming...

"So one day, I'm casually walking down the street, minding my own business, keeping to myself... when from the distance I see a small boy... no more than 12 or 13. As we get nearer and nearer, he suddenly reaches into his coat, and pulls out a gun.

BANG!

The kid shot me in the shoulder! Do I know this kid? No! Have I done anything to provoke him? No! He pulled out a gun and shot me in the shoulder for no reason...

Instints kick in, and I lash out... when one blow to the face I've knocked this kid out..."

You can all figure how bad the justice system is here... guess what happens next? That's right... I go to court. I get sentanced for assault. I end up on the front page of the Sun with quotes like "Do you trust this man on the streets?"... Never mind the fact a 13 year old has a live gun... I (an 18 year old) touched a 13 year old... and I'm going to hell.

f**king kids.

True. Is that an ancient Chinese proverb?

No, I believe it's a quote from a Terry Pratchett book, but I forget which one.

(e.g., the most extreme of cases was the setting on fire of a sleeping drunk, which, whilst amusing, is clearly quite wrong).
The U.S show "Jackass" is reported to be the catalst of such incidents, but one can't help feel that these people lack a fundamental sense of morality.

OK why does the writer find that amusing?

Are you talkin' to me?!?

Unless you wrote the article I quoted then no! Or is it that you agree with setting someone on fire is amusing?

Oh, I thought you meant me, so I was trying to be sarcastic.......

......and it failed.

why do tv or films always get the blame for this sort of sh*t? I don't recall, in jackass, anyone setting fire to an unsuspecting member of the public. it is all media bullsh*t.

Another hoodie type news item recently concerned Bluewater, Europe's largest indoor shopping centre, banning people with hoodies or baseball caps. none other than the esteemed deputy prime minister, the (dis)honourable John Prescott, supported the shopping centre managers saying that he thought people wearing hoodies were a menace.

...what a c***.

I don't think we ought to set K9 on fire, Snow Dog wouldn't like you smoking out his relatives....
