I've just finished reading a story on the BBCi News and, frankly, I feel a rant coming on! The story was first reported in the 'Sun' so my first reaction was one of sceticism but, then I found other, more trustworthy, reports.
The story concerns a funeral cortege that was stoned by a group of young lads. The cars where taking the nieces of a beloved aunt to her final resting place and this group of degenerates decide it would be funny to throw stones and other missiles at the cars. A piece of wood was thrown, with such force, as to break the windscreen of the car following the hearse, and became lodged in the bodywork of the car. The driver managed to retain the presence of mind not to stop and proceeded, so as to cause minimal upset to the passengers. Words fail me!
I know it isn't fair to tar all youngsters with the same brush but what is the future of this country, if this is the standard of behaviour that we are allowing our young to get away with? Even if they are not getting away with it and we catch them, the punishment is so paltry and insignificant that they only laugh at it. Where do they even get the idea to do something like this? Have they no feelings for other people? Obviously not. We are breeding, and have bred, whole generations of anti-social people who think nothing of anyone but themselves. Even then, they have so little self respect. Their behaviour is so far outside the norm and alien to respectable society, that we tend to try to ignor it. Maybe it will go away? I despair, I really do! I'm afraid I have no answers and, I suspect, neither have the authorities and certainly not the bloody 'do gooders'. Things are just too far gone to recover from now. Without some real soul searching and facing up to the fact that we need to swallow some really nasty medicine, as a society, I can only see thing getting worse.
Anyone who doesn't agree or thinks I am being too pessimistic? Now's your chance to air your views. Am I talking b***ocks? Don't care for my opinions? Then tell me! Give me a reason to change my mind! Give me a counter argument! I'm quite reseptive to reason you know...............................................
