No, no, no! Hitcher was referring to apostrophe abuse, not capital punishment!

after watching the Black power guy who tape himself abusing his Mrs, while the kids sat in the lounge playing playstation

and what he only gets two yrs ..

guess this latest development does not suprise me .. after all technology is a wonderful thing .. but is also much more prone to abuse

Those of you a little upset/annoyed/angry at the "Happy Slapper" phenom of late might get a kick out of this clip, came across it a few weeks back.

Happy Slapper gets Owned

nice one GL, that's justice for you...

But then northeners are like that... give someone a slap, and expect retribution.

When is the government and more to the point, society going to conclude that things are shyte, the current setup is inadequate and these arseholes need to be effectively dealt with???
We as a whole have decided that this concept of not hitting kids (smack not bash, there is a huge friggin difference) is wrong. I say bullshit! I know what its like to get a smack and a bash from those who are supposed to be looking after me. A smack never did me any harm and if there is anyone out there that agrees that smacking is wrong (however I see red when it comes to bashing), then your a friggin idiot!
It never ceases to amaze me how society put things into place and later complain how things have turned out. We live now in a society of personal rights and no responsibility. It continues to make me sick seeing how criminals have all the rights, when the victims just get shafted. Much like whats happening with these bully tactics. It all starts somewhere and they say its starting at a kindy level. I reckon it really starts with the parents and an inability to be an effective parent.
Personally I think its a personal right to defend yourself from any form of abuse. Even if the abusies are not actually physically touching you. Unfortantely the law is also an arse, hence creating the arseholes who know/think they can get away with it.
That dude that grabbed that snot nosed kid after the same snot nosed kid was bullying the dudes daughter is a good example. The snot nosed kid lost some of his personal rights and needed to be dealt with in a way that reinforced responsibility and ended the bullshyte behaviour.
If someone was abusing someone, I'd want it stopped. Ive got into some difficult situations in the past because of this too. Likewise, I don't want my kid(s) getting bullied at school. If my kid(s) where doing the bullying, I'd want the problem dealt with also. I'd be dealing to it too as a parent.
Sadly we are a society of do little and biarch alot. Where does it end? I think this is merely the beginning of a new society of delinquents. With even bigger problems down the line.

I had a nice restrained word with parent of a bully once and quickly learnt where the kid had gotten it from. So I changed from nice little demure man to the if your kid ever comes near my kid man.

That fixed things prety well.

People just don't have the same respect anymore do they?

When parents top being mates and start being parents, things might change.

Agreed - but that'll only happen when adults are allowed to be adults too

Someone else's kid has a go at someone or something... I'll yell at them anytime. Most don't, most won't - they look on and wonder "how much trouble will I get into if I intervene".

Bollox to that. There's a lot to be said for a healthy respect of the law and of adults. How will anyone know society disapproves if society is scared to say so?

But even then a lot of them will choose to be childish i.e. my old neighbours and the 'baked beaning' of our letterbox

Our kids referred to us by first names from a young age. Never called us mum or dad til they were in their 20's. We never had any trouble with them and they grew up with very high values. You can be mates, but the kids need to know, you are on their side if they do right, but on their case if they do wrong!

Call me oldschool if you like. But growing up in Porirua East was a good experience. I learnt survival skills from a young age.
I used to fight day in, day out and it's a fond memory of mine now.
Geeze, I had some good scraps back then!
I hate imagining schooldays without the occassional bit of courtyard biffo!
Imagine our All Blacks team in 10 years.
