Graeme&thepack Posted July 12, 2011 Report Share Posted July 12, 2011 out for our morning walk around the park this morning we wondered through the rose gardens only to be greeted with a policeman and his GSD, one of the gardeners walked over to me, said hello to the dogs and informed me that he was having to close the gardens due to an incident.... He told me that when he was walking into work this morning some kids were taking pot shots at him and his colleagues with an air riffle. He chased them off and they had dropped the gun and scarpered, i don't know about you guys but when i was on school holidays i wasn't out my bed at 8am never mind shooting at people just for kicks!!! i'm just glad they were chased off before the temptation was there to shoot at some of us dog walkers and our furbabies. bloody kids these days!!! (man that makes me sound old) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jules dief taz tor Posted July 12, 2011 Report Share Posted July 12, 2011 nope none of my lot would be up that early and im pretty sure i would notice if they had an air rifel with them Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kells xx Posted July 12, 2011 Report Share Posted July 12, 2011 when i was younger i would have been outside before 8am...... but i would have been climbing trees or playing football. its this nannying society that says you can't smack your kids and give children of 14 more rights than an adult, if the little shizers with the rifle had been told no and disciplined more often by their parents this wouldnt be happening...... wow i sound old now Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stormchaser09 Posted July 12, 2011 Report Share Posted July 12, 2011 I wish I could get my 2 motivated and out their beds before 9/10/11 depending on their mood. They still wouldn't have air guns though unless under strict supervision. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ohh my god her language ...is very sad to hear what she can say . They come around me at that moment she start yelling I kick her. Some of the customer gets involved and one of the women had a little babe in her arms mental, finally the leave, but guess what??? They come back and the circus start again at that point I call the police. They come the bunch where just outside he ask what is happened they start yelling I kick her , he come to have a chat with me I show him the cctv ME KICKING HER well I didn`t he chat with some of my colleges they tell the story he go out and they are gone . How this is working??? I close my eyes many times but this time I will not I will make a complain for discrimination as some of u know I m not English but the way she talk with me and what she said I will not let her go and as I said to the police if I will be pay someone to swear to me I will take a chair and a bucket and I will go in the car park and I will let people to swear to me and for each swear I will get a pond I will be a rich woman . One of the customers come back to ask me if I m all right so nice when u see some people really care Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tan J P Posted July 12, 2011 Report Share Posted July 12, 2011 absolutely shocking behaviour i do agree with Kells though,if we were naughty as kids and deserved a slap(i dont mean a battering) we got one.......and knew why! i applied the same up-bringing to my children too. i have not grown up to be a bully or child abuser and neither have my boys. i'm sorry if this upsets anyone,but, the blame does lie at the parents in most cases i believe! out of order behaviour should be nipped in the bud,when young and the majority of these bad kids wouldn't behave in that fashion. They have no respect for elders at all......that is something which was instilled in us from a very early age! Better go before i really get on my soap-box!

BingBlaze n Skyla Posted July 12, 2011 Report Share Posted July 12, 2011 wtf!? thats disgusting! we were pretty much allowed to do what we liked as kids but we were never like that towards people! we were (like kells) climbing trees playing football or riding our bikes down the subby! thats crazy!

Graeme&thepack Posted July 12, 2011 Author Report Share Posted July 12, 2011 Yeah there seems to be a whole generation of adults whom have not installed basic respect for their elders in the kids. My daughter is ten and would never act in such a way, but there is a lot to say for peer pressure Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tamz Posted July 12, 2011 Report Share Posted July 12, 2011 noway!!! god if chloe ever did something like that i would literally kill her :mad: there are some really nasty little brats around today..im dreading going through the teenage years with chloe she already has an attitude and she is 3!! i dont ever remember being up b4 8am when i was at school..and then it was only due to my mum actually dragging my ass up out of bed and skitzing at me lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Removed #5 Posted July 12, 2011 Report Share Posted July 12, 2011 I grew up in the '50s (which makes me more than ancient) Mom moved around *a lot* as I was growing up ... but when I got in trouble, someone would call her and I'd get sent home and a paddling when she got home. If we were out late as teenagers, that meant past 22:00 the first time the police saw us we'd get told to go home, if they saw us again later we were taken home! I don't know what's happening to society these days, kids are rude at best and abusive or worse and in general it seems as if their folks don't care. Move over Tania, I'll join you on that soap-box!!

Children need to know they are loved and that someone cares. They also need to know that there are consequences for every action, and should never be allowed to get away with anti-social behaviour - not even once.

Biggles Posted July 12, 2011 Report Share Posted July 12, 2011 Problem is so many parents just don't know how to bring up children and when they become troublesome they push them out of the front door and throw money at them. They do this so their "little" problem is elsewhere and gives them peace at home. Problem is their is cause but the kids get no consequence for bad behaviour. Anyway, I wonder why weren't the kids getting ready for school or have Scottish schools already broken up? I have seen kids going out or being out after 10.30 pm on a weekday.

Tan J P Posted July 12, 2011 Report Share Posted July 12, 2011 @Deidra your post is very good,apart from the last bit!! any age is more than welcome on here:D we already have a few 'minors' and we are all treated equally the same no matter that i'll be an ''old lady'' to you:D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Biggles Posted July 12, 2011 Report Share Posted July 12, 2011 Deidra it's good to read your post and how helpful and responsible you are. I don't think anyone on the forum would take offense at you reading and posting and learning about dogs and other animals. We learn this way and by asking questions. If you have a question ask away as I am sure that there will be someone here who will be able to help you. You are never too young or too old to learn. I too have learnt a lot from joining and participating in this forum. Keep your grades up and I am sure you will achieve your ambition of getting to vet school. Good luck and best wishes.

Other than the fact that you, obviously, wrote this in haste, I have no problem with anything you said *except* as noted by Tania, you seem to either be judgmental of all of us because we're older (in some cases WAY older) or you're "putting yourself down". You have a lot of knowledge - and from the description of what you do, I'd have to say you probably do, so share your expertise. I don't have a problem with someone younger than I knowing more than I do. (( I probably know things that you don't ... )) You want to learn - well, there's a good group of people here who can help you learn. There are probably even a few who can teach you a thing or two. Take your time and get to know us before you start making comments like that though, please. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rosemary Posted July 12, 2011 Report Share Posted July 12, 2011 Deidra, good post. You are so very welcome here and I hope we hear a lot more from you. We oldies can, and do learn a lot from the younger generation you all have a unique way of looking at things that is refreshing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I did comd here to learn. I did NOT right that out of hate. This is a very good site and I hope to add more on to my knowledge. I do not have very good people skills (I keep more to myslelf when I can) so i am trying to work on it. Again sorry if I came off rude I did not mean to.
