FFS! What is happening to the world?

Completely agree.

I have often wondered why on earth Australian society still accepts as legitimate this destruction every year from teenage kids (and anyone else who wants to use it as an excuse to vandalise stuff!)...

It makes you pissed to know that all the fundraising, "voluntary" contributions etc that you participate in to provide the schools with valuable resources is partly spent cleaning up after these vandals.

Charge them with criminal damage and do not glorify it as a "harmless bit of fun that got out of hand" that Sunrise and others regularly label it as.

Today's mucker-uppers = tomorrow's hoons

Except a lot of them seem to be from top end private schools, which hoons usually aren't (too busy snorting coke and toting Country Road bags! ).

There's a lot of feeble-minded thinking which equates "pranks" and grafitti-ing, violence occasioning actual bodily harm and vandalism.

Where will it end? Well, I think we are seeing the end *now* - the end result of the lax "do your own thing" attitudes of the last thirty years.

Which to be fair was in response to the 'seen and not heard' brigade.

Its the plants!

Its "Happening"

somewhere in the middle for me

If I recall correctly, there was a line which we were taught not to cross by our self-respecting elders and our own common sense of decency.

All 3 of the above have now largely been confined to the history books, though I suspect the silent majority of society have just about had a gutful of anti-social behaviour in it's many guises.
