    I can't control anger in such cases, I would flood them with some words. Bad words.

    Saw a crowd of teenagers pelting passing cars with snowballs last week.
    One car stopped and this guy in his fifties jumped out - the scum scattered and he gave chase. Guess what? They all turned round and started pelting him - the guy got an awful doing - ran like hell back to his car.

    Now the thing is, this happened in Castleknock and the teens, some of whom I know to see, come from families who I imagine would be horrified if they knew what their 'little johnny' was up to.:confused:
    My theory, for what its worth, is that there has been a collapse of law and order and a massive decline in moral values over the last few decades. Why? I wish i knew.

    P.S. Seen any cops lately? (I mean apart from the speed traps on motorways).:mad:

    Maybe they were threatened by you in some way and threw something at you instinctively, if you were raging and all you might have looked threatening. Would have been a much better thread if you knew what they threw at you and they had landed it smack on your nose. P1ss poor thread as it stands though :pac: Enraged adult male starts thread about teenage girls throwing something at him and missing :rolleyes: Weird you don't know what it is, being a self proclaimed expert on materials and all that :pac:

    Come on man, if you have something to say spit it out :pac:

    As a teen, it is hard to escape the idea ,that many people have, that ALL teens are like this. There are times when I'm just walking along, headphones in, minding my own business, when I'll walk past another group of "youths" and to be honest it can be pretty intimidating. There have been times when younger ones have said something to me or thrown something etc. The worst is when they spit on the ground right beside you, then glare at you. If the world wasn't so uppity about such things I'd deck the knuts and spit on them. But this is real life and I have to walk away while the lil' scummers laugh like a pack of mange-ridden hyena's.

    They probably come from a single parent family with a coke addict father.
    You should feel sorry for them.

    Was one of them called Rex?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,370 ✭✭✭Knasher


    Well if it makes anybody feel any better, chances are they will be complaining about how people used to have more respect in a couple more years too.

    Nope - Not 50 yet. Not even 40 (Not too far off though!):D

    I get more pissed at the little rich kids who, in theory, should know better. The little skangers start out with no chance at all.

    Anyway, just telling what I saw and expressing an opinion. Hope I haven't rattled your cage.;)

    From uncyclopedia.wikia.com
    Scanger or skanger (female: howiya[1]) is a derogatory term for a stereotypical member of a youth subculture group in Ireland, similar to the chav in the United Kingdom.[2][3]
    The stereotypical scanger is known to wear a tracksuit, gold jewellery, runners, tattoos, piercings, is usually from a working class area of an Irish city or town, and speaks with an exaggerated version of the accent that is customary to the indigenous people of that city or town. Male scangers tend to have cropped haircuts, wear Celtic F.C. shirts, The term scanger also has cultural ascociations with the term Boy Racer and older male scangers often drive cars with loud sound and exhaust systems alloy wheels and extensive (and often illegal) modifications.
    The female skanger can generally be identified by the distinct 'hoopy' earings, bleached-blonde hair and a propensity for wearing Pyjamas, while shopping or indeed as casual clothing. Female scangers are also usually seen pushing pram(s) whilst shopping or just out in public. Another feature would be the distinct use of hair 'scrunchies' to perform facelifts. This is achieved by pulling the hair back into a tight ponytail in order to tighten the facial skin. This can lead to some curious facial expressions and a look akin to rabbits in the headlights of cars.
    Male scangers can be defined by their tendency to tuck their tracksuit bottoms into their socks, their short hair and gelled-down fringe. They smoke John Player Blue and walk with an aggressive swagger, as if carrying tennis balls under both their armpits. Typical scanger phrases include: "Alrigh, bud?", "Ah Jaysus, Howaya?", "Shtory, bosh!". All names must end with an 'o', e.g. Declan changes to Deco, Anthony changes to Anto, Johnathan changes to Johno, etc. Female names are usually added with 3 or 4 "e's" at the end, e.g. Fiona changes to Fioneee', Jecinte to Jecinteee', etc.
    Scangers are also known to wear such clothes as:
    Brand name athletic clothing and shoes. This might include white trainers and tracksuits. Fake Gold jewellery- hoopy ear-rings and large gold chains for women, and gold sovereign rings and large gold chains for men. Sports caps or Burberry caps are always pointed at very high angle, usually 45-90 degrees.
    Many younger scangers often take part in underage drinking, underage sex, smoking and sometimes drug abuse. Dutch Gold would be a particularly common drink for youths who take part in underage drinking, due to it's high alcohol content and low retail cost. Druids Celtic Cider is also popular among certain groups of young people, primarily in Dublin and Cork.
    [1][4] Scangers have a reputation for anti-social behaviour.[5]
    :D

    Or someone so desperate to define a skanger, that they use an outside source in order to try to distance themselves and their own past indiscretions in order to justify their lording over those who they deem below them.

    Someone in my estate confronted young lads and young ones who were harrassing him walking back from the shop a while ago,they knew where he lived so gave him hell for ages.

    So I would do or say something if I wasn't near my own house and there was no chance they knew me!

    There is a council housing estate around about a mile away from my house, and during the snow every time I drove by some kid would throw a snowball at my car. I eventually got pissed off, so I got out this old water gun thing I had around that looked like this

    and the next time it happened, I stopped the car, slowly drove back and sprayed the kid who did it in the face with the full two tanks. It felt pretty dame good.

    Was hobbling back from my in-laws last week in the height of the snow, on crutches so making slow progress. Passed a group of little scumbags while we were coming into our apartment complex, now my husband recognised them, they're from a family of total skangers from his estate, and they recognised him, so nothing got thrown at him.

    I, on the other hand, was totally pelted with chunks of ice and being on crutches there was no way I was getting away from them fast. Husband turns around and proceeds to tear into the oldest kid (probably around 12), so after much back and forth, husband tells the kid that if he throws one more snowball, he's gonna break his legs (:rolleyes:), to which the kid replies "Go on and try it Do ye know who me da is?" Husband's response was "No, and neither does yore ma, now fcuk off!"

    The problem with these kids is that they know that there isn't a damn thing normal people would be willing to do to them. There needs to be some sort of repercussion for their actions or it will only get progressively worse.

    Therefore I suggest we implement a battle royale type tv show for anybody with an asbo, it will be both entertaining and keep the children in line. The ones that live will learn to respect their elders.

    Could it be more like the thunderdome from Mad Max? The cage would be more easily televised than the free to roam island setting of Battle Royale.



    Guys guys haven't you seen The Running Man ????


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 4,003 ✭✭✭CorkMan


    Start talking to them, ask do they wanna have sex and when they come home with you do some serious damage to them.

    EDIT; Assuming they are all 16 years of age of course.
