I know...the laws worse than George W Bush


Close, they arrested him and tried to charge him with false imprisonment.

One of the thugs parents actually came round and apoligised.

Some of us are trying to raise children to have respect for other people and their property and people like you are undermining that.

I for one think it is deplorable and I would most certainly have taken the reg number and reported it. OP.....two wrongs don't make a right.....

rant over

Soooo contradictory ! using language like Fu---ng and W--ker and other expletives does not to my mind teach children any respect at all. How can hearing your parents use such language teach respect? Or am I missing the point here. AND don' pity my community my children do have respect for others and I trust them to behave when they are out in the way I have taught them to behave - with respect. Only an egg - nodoby died !!!! Get it into perspective. The Poet :rolleyes: DOH

Contradictory....how so? I haven't used any of the language you mentioned and certainly not in front of my children. Perhaps the OP did in his original post....but that's not related to what I said. I did also say that two wrongs don't make a right. I'm not condoning the OP's reaction but I find it absolutely astounding that there are people out there that don't see what it is that is wrong with young adults (not children!) throwing things at other peoples property.

You're quite right.....nobody died - this time. What if the they had been driving along, someone swerves goes into oncoming traffic, causes an accident in which someone is seriously injured or killed? Most likely not one of the perpetrators. Would you still turn around and say...'it's only an egg!' ?

Absolutely. these "kids" have to be at least seventeen (unless they're joy riding - but hey, if they were, does it really matter? I mean they're *just* kids right? and no-one was hurt). Pur-lease, it's "kids" like these who have no respect for others and their property (and people like "Poet" who condone such actions) that make a good case for renaming this country to "Not So Great Britain". Mind you, people like the original poster who want to go and "wrap a tyre iron around their head" (this is me paraphrasing) are also at fault. As others have said. It was only an egg, and the reaction to grabbing the tyre iron is, disturbing to say the least. Basically the "kids" are at fault, :mad: the poster is at fault, :mad: and anyone who thinks that any of the actions described in this thread is "OK" is at fault.
:mad: :mad: :mad:
ok, rant over

(banjo - how many friends d'ya reckon I've made to day then!?) :confused:

Aj.

Ouch !!! Now who has egg on their face (and it HURT) so much !!!! But enough of this boring subject about Farm Fresh, Organic, Grade A's, the nitty gritty is - from the heart - no I do not condone that kind of behaviour but I could cope with it and far worse so I won't get stressed over a broken yolk and I do not live my life with "what if's" i'd never survive and I have to survive so that I can come on here and wind you up !"+ XXX My apologies if I hit a raw nerve but as this is a site for free speech thought I'd say my piece.
