All this anti authority stuff

[Publius Ovidius]

This is a rant BTW

Picture the scene......you are in a playground trying to control a group of about 30 kids. You tell someone to stop doing what he/she is doing and he/she argues the toss with you....the rest of the crowd join in and you feel intimidated into backing down....the rule of law is compromised by the rule of the "mob"

Now you have a plethora of "reality shows" in which members of the public or "celebs" are criticised by judges, who in turn are berated by members of the audience and or a presenter. The audience love it and the judges are made to look like fools.

You are a footballer playing for....( insert name of team...) you commit a foul and the referee awards a foul to the opposition. You chase after the ref and scream obsenties in his face, your team mates join in.......

Sometimes, I think our society is on the slippery slope to anarchy

 

[Tooting Gull]

And another thing...

People who put stickers in their car window saying 'Pull back, child on board'.

As opposed to what, exactly? Obviously most drivers take to the road thinking 'there's a car with no kids in it, I think I'll just plough straight into the back of that one'.

 

[Dick Knights Mumm]

The refs one is easy though DtG - refs need to stand their ground and send anyone off who touches them or swears at them. It will soon stop.

IMHO what a load of BOLLOX, 3,000 people lost thier lives last year being involved one way or another in a RTA, did the drivers set out that day looking to mame? No so a polite reminder to drivers who are up to close to back off works!

 

[bhaexpress]

" has got a masters"

Is that in baiting ?

 

[Tooting Gull]

Well you've obviously got one. So if you haven't completely missed the point, and I'm being generous, why only for kids?

" You are a footballer playing for....( insert name of team...) you commit a foul and the referee awards a foul to the opposition. You chase after the ref and scream obsenties in his face, your team mates join in......."

Sign of a mature society IMHO, questioning 'the rule of law' / Cartman-style 'Respect My AuthoritAY' stuff. Like yourself Dave, I'm old enough to have gone to Spain for me holidays as a nipper when it was under Franco's rule. Not a bit of grafitti anywhere, tits blacked out on page 3 of the three-day old copies of the imported Sun. Half a dozen different shades of police in the streets, all of the 'em with the arbitrary power to make your holiday, and indeed your life, a complete and utter misery. Spain's a damn sight more healthy as a country with the passing of the generals. Ditto Greece. Ditto the whole of Eastern Europe with the passing of Communist complete control. Ditto Iraq - IF IT HAD NOT BEEN ACHIEVED BY MEANS OF AN IMMORAL AND ILLEGAL INVASION OF A SOVEREIGN STATE.

Most people IMHO have an inbuilt sense of right and wrong Dave. People SHOULD question things. You never yelled at a referee? Taken offence at a steward? Or a traffic warden? Or a ticket inspector? Or any of the thousand other jobsworth types that are 'only doing their job'?

 

[Franks Wild Years]

I blame Thatcher.

 

[Franks Wild Years]

Sorry I should explain.
I blame Thatcher for not terminating Looney when she first realised that Ronnie wasn't wearing a johnny.
