Ahh good, we could do with a good "Have a rant" topic.
Kids with guns? Kids killing other kids? Hanging round in groups? What is that all about?! I put it down mainly to bad parenting. Kids are allowed to get away with too much. When I was younger I was well behaved because I knew that if I got in shit I'd have a slipper across my arse and sent to my room, which I didn't like. I was never abused by my parents in any way, shape or form, but I knew where my limits were. It doesn't help these days that child protection has just gone way OTT. You can't smack your child if he/she is being naughty? What a silly idea. So, your kid breaks something simple, and you just wag your finger and tell them not to do it again. What are they going to do? Break something else knowing full well they will get away with. When they're older the things they start breaking move from flowerpots and general household items to other peoples property, or even people themselves! Now I understand that the laws have been brought in to protect children in abusive homes, but if the Social Services did their job correctly in the first place, there would be no need for stupid laws. Bring back the cane I say!
It's all this political correctness bollocks. Things like you can't say "Whiteboard" or "Blackboard" in school any more, it has to be "Dry Marker Board" or "Chalk Board". The nursery rhyme "Baa Baa Black Sheep" has been changed because it's been deemed racist. Baa baa fucking black sheep for christ sakes! What's it been changed to? Baa Baa Coloured Sheep? Baa Baa Ethnic Minority Sheep? Fuck me, talk about rediculous. Don't get me wrong, I'm dead against racism, but is that not a tad on the extreme side?
Whilst I'm on a rant, what about the shitty UK laws? Say some pikey twunt has broken into my house with the intention of robbing my hard earned, and I set about him and give the twat a damn good pasting, what happens then? Does said pikey get done for Breaking and Entering? NO! I get done for assault. So, let me run through that again. Pikey commits a crime, I protect my property and it's me that gets my arse reamed? There was one case I heard about that really grips my shit. Some pikey attempts to break into someones house by climbing over their conservatory. They fall through the glass roof, cutting themselves and breaking their leg. Does said pikey get done for breaking and entering? No. He sues the home owners for damages, an WINS! What. The. Fuck? In the UK, you are more protected if you're the criminal, not the victim.
This leads me to my final question. What is so great about Great Britain...?
