    don't know whether to laugh or rant-

    Just like groups of women stand outside shops and talking, groups girls outside clothes shops, people outside pubs,tourists gathered around town, kids playing on the side of the road....

    Just because you felt uncomfortable its not there fault-:rolleyes:
    Apart from having a drink what did they do wrong- so go climb down of your high horse, polish of your cane, and leave the kids alone cause there are lots out there worse off than them.....

    i'd love if you used that terminology about these kids to there parents, little fcukers, gougers, standing around where you get your drugs from- pretty sure you have no kids either let alone a sense of reality:mad::mad:


    Maybe get down off your own high horse for a minute. It wasn't because there was a group of them that made me uncomfortable, it was the way they were acting.
    And who the fcuk ever said that the house they were standing around is where I buy drugs??? Or that I buy drugs at all???
    Seriously who exactly do you think you are to make that assumption about me?

    and who are you to make assumptions about the younguns who were just standing around doing nothing wrong?

    I agree that its mostly the parents fault but I dont think that corporal punishment is effective. I used to get hammered when I was younger, belts and all. I learned absolutely nothing from it apart from being more sneaky and that violence is acceptable. Its lazy parenting.


    Actually I agree with you on that too. I got my shares of whippings and beatings and I think it might've traumatized me to the point where I don't trust most people not to hurt me. I'm not sure about it being lazy parenting as it does require some effort to whip that belt and throw that shoe and all but I would've preferred some love instead of violence. :(

    Love, anyone?

    I made the comment to prove a fact, I don't know you, your history or anything....so how can I make that assumption?
    You dont know these three groups of kids and you associated these three groups as drunks drug users and anti social youths, so who are you to make an assumption of 10 15 people???
    based on solely on how you felt, did you never stand around talking as a kid?

    So... Did this woman try to walk past and they didn't move, or did she walk around them of her own volition?

    Not liking their 'demeanour' is the same as not liking the look of them. I don't like people that bounce when they walk, it makes me uncomfortable. Does that mean they're doing something wrong? Did they say anything or do anything that suggests they were doing something wrong other than standing there when you'd prefer them not to be standing there, and not looking the way you would prefer them to look? (you can include their demeanor in how they look.)


    She tried to go through them but no one moved but they all laughed when she had to move around them.

    They were doing a mixture of things really, shouting at each other even though they are beside each other, shouldering each other, one guy had another guy in a headlock, a friendly headlock but they were being rough with each other.

    Other than the very loud comments on people passing & rough play I wouldn't have paid much attention to them. I was dressed in a hoodie & tracksuit as they were.
    I don't really see a hoodie & a tracksuit as an immediate alarm :)

    Never get tired of these threads on Boards :pac:
    Seems be a new one repackaged with different location every couple days.

    Funny how it only usually seems to bother people over a certain age when theres young people hanging around.

    If was big load of 30 something auld ones hanging around ur street you wouldnt give a ****e u probley join them :P

    Unless there actually doing something to really cause you hassle and bother then whats the problem??

    People get so bloody uptight bout couple of kids arsing around with there mates not everyone under 20 who u dont understand wants to mug you ya no :)

    Still meh. It's being a dick not moving but still not really doing anything wrong there. I wasn't saying you didn't like their clothes, I was saying the only thing you didn't like was the general look of them. Still, I don't see your major problem here, they were keeping to themselves like.
    There's not much for teens to really do before they hit 18, so they hang around and mess on the street. Nothing wrong with it if they keep to themselves.

    Group standing outside drug house are regularly picked up by the Guards, drunk group were in fact drunk & were intent on letting everyone else know that they were in fact pissed & the third group were so rude, ignorant & obviously tough that they felt the need to let the rest of us know.
    Living in a small town so it's easy to know who is who.

    And you didn't make that comment to prove a fact. You made it because you were thick. And if I was off on a rant about the youth of today I would probably have thanked your post as it would have snapped me back to reality.

    The youth of today really have no respect. They should be legally forced to tip their hat to every woman and bow their head to every older man who walks by (aswell as carry their groceries should they require assistance).

    There's an old couple living on my road, the poor woman is trapped in her home and never leaves because of a group of youths who sometimes congregate around the local cornershop drinking energy drinks and using vulgar language. The most shocking thing is that people would apparently sooner offer her anti-anxiety medication to help her conquer her fear (which is completely reasonable considering how defenceless she is compared to a group of teens) rather than force the little brats into line just to be safe.

    I have little hope for society.

    I'm not old by any stretch but there's no way on earth I'd ever have been so disrespectful & downright ignorant as some of these gougers.
    Just like you weren't disrespectful, plenty of today's teens aren't disrespectful either. Those kids you saw aren't representative of all teens (if they were up to anything dodge that is).
    WTF is happening out there at the moment that teenagers are given free reign to do as they please?
    It's absolutely nothing new - you have an extremely rose-tinted view of the past, which was what... 10 years ago? :pac:

    A lot of teenagers have no respect for elders and authority these days. They're really fresh and you know why? Because a lot of parents don't really give a damn. They let them do as they please or they're afraid of their own children. I think a lot of kids are in need of some corporal punishment...as it was done in my time!
    "Your time"? You seem about 25, if even that. A bit young to be going on like a cantankerous old fogey...

    kids noadays have nothing to do. back in the 80's/early 90's when i was a kid we went out and found stuff to do that kept us occupied
    Like what? I'm the same age as you and what's being described above sounds not too different to when I was a teenager.

    Actually it's 20-somethings here who seem to go on like auldies the most. Several Boards regulars in their 30s/early 40s seem way more relaxed and way more of a laugh.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 4,526 ✭✭✭brendansmith


    I hear where you're coming from OP.
    I sighted a young adult from my automobile yesterday evening.
    Needless to say, I was disgusted.

    So if you stopped to talk to a friend outside that house...does it may you a drug user?
    Go to any school or even sports team and you would see kids fool around like that trying to act big, or even some adult sports team chelsea cough cough...as every generation gets older they say the youth of today are rude and disrespectful, its called life!

    And that comment was made to prove a point as the next poster to it easily picked up on, how you generalized 3 groups based on limited facts similar to how I categorised your self (to prove my point)...and again through your ignorance how you call me thick when the consensus on here is that your living in your own little bubble and how any group of 13- 18 year olds standing around may very well be doing similar things-

    Also where does this respect your elders bolloxology come from? A certain level of respect should be universal regardless of age, after that respect is earned and not by avoiding death for a long period.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 37,214 ✭✭✭✭Dudess


    Not saying there aren't some little ****ing gurriers out there who deserve a boot up the arse, but it's a phenomenon that has always existed and always will.

    I'm finding it difficult enough to tell if this is sarcasm or not.
    If it isn't...... Wow. :eek:

    If a person works hard all their life and pays taxes and contributes to society, the society should take care of them in their latter years. In a perfect world, teenagers should show them respect because teenagers have not yet contributed anything and are cnuts.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 4,571 ✭✭✭Aoifey!


    So, these people simply stood where you did not want them to be standing, did not interact with you in any way, talking to each other, and messed about with each other.

    You say they are "rough" and did not like their "demeanour", but do you know these people? Do you know that they have done things that mean you have to be wary of them? Or are you just judging them because they were young and standing in a place you did not want them to stand?

    Sure, they didn't move for the buggy, that was rude, many other people are rude also. Do you make threads to complain about them?

    Wow, you've a good eye for age. It actually was in my time when I received corporal punishment...not anyone else's. I know corporal punishment was the thing when I was younger but nowadays it's frowned upon and parents are arrested for it. I'm not going on like the old fogey you say I am but these young whippersnappers need a beating with my cane!

    I don't think parents should constantly watch over their teenagers but they should be aware of what they're doing at what time and with whom. Hell, I'm 24 and my parents constantly interrogate me about what I've done with whom...but that's just me and their over-protectiveness. Some parents really don't care at all and others are just too much. Bleh.

    I hate them type of pricks, because they give the rest of the people my age a badname. Was walking down the road there on Saturday night about 8 o'clock with 2 of my mates and there's an elderly couple slowly walking in our direction, in their eighties is my guess and they weren't very mobile. They see us coming and decide to cross the road to avoid us, you could tell they were trying to avoid us by their change in pace and the reaction from one of them when they copped us. I was fúcking disgraced, not with me or my friends, we weren't doing anything wrong after all. I wasn't disgraced with the elderly couple either, I can understand where they're coming from, I was pissed off at the fact that an elderly couple in their 80s can't walk around a nice enough area without having to cross the road when they see 3 lads.

    Seriously, the dickheads who give people my age a bad name wreck my head just as much as anyone else, but don't assume we're all like that, for the most part, we're alright people OP. :pac:

    Actually, many teenagers have jobs. Many teenagers volunteer. Many teenagers are respectful. Teenagers are also people, and if you have a "they're all cunts" attitude, you will get the same level of respect back.
