    I actually think a lot of modern youth violence is caused by Generation X and the Baby Boomers (the lot of which are our Parents) and some may be one. But the Baby Boomers were essentially the first generation in history to be more concerned about themselves and their careers/Personal Goals than raising a family or teaching their kids right from wrong, it was just a lot more easy to send us to a daycare or Pre-School while they got on with their own lives. Eventually when we're old enough, they just give us a key to the home, and tell us they'll be home after work. This has distanced us from them in a lot of aspects, sure some parents need to pay the bills, or want something extra... but at the expense of neglecting your own children, I think is absurd. So many within my Generation (Y) and The Next Generation (O) are a lot more close to the children than Generation X. This doesn't mean everyone in our generation has been neglected, I mean I was a latchkey kid, and I have still good morals...I think the rest has to do with the society in which the kids were raised, a good lot of the happy-slappers come from destitute families, and on the other spectrum a lot of them come from wealthy families that have taught them through neglect that it is socially acceptable to do that. And the Middle-Income Families are generally caught in the middle.

    The Hippies eroded societies values, this is what happens. Hope some Hippies get "Happy Slapped" and finally reap the disasterous seeds they had sown.

    lol... my dad would full heartidly agree with you... of course he served in Vietnam and was shot twice, and when he came home he was spit on a couple of times... which even to me is absolutely abhorrent... but the hippies are about as much to blame for todays violence problems as Sesame Street is.

    Even if you disagree with a war the veterns deserve respect

    We were taught in history that the disrespect shown to vietnam vets was a myth, I didn't believe and I now am even more convinced it is a whitewash from an ashamed generation.

    I have proof right from the horse's mouth so to speak. I don't think someone (especially my father) would lie about something like that. My dad fired a guy because he had long hair and an ear-ring and wouldn't lose em' based on his social beliefs... he sued, my dad won... end of story.

    I wouldn't want to work for anyone as asshole that cares about how long someone's hair is

    And what does Nam have to do with England exactly? Some protestors spit at vets, others didn't. Hippies hardly eroded social values. It is no one elses buisness if they wanted to do drugs and sleep with random people, and not work. The only people at fault are these kids and there parents.

    People should start standing up for themselves man. Some people would ignore actions such as a group of kids beating someone and filming it and would rather just keep there heads down and walk on.

    That Matthew Wright guy who writes for the sun or mirror wife was beaten by a group of youths because she was bald and the poor lass had cancer! What the hell is going on? How dare they put a person through that ordeal?

    If that ever happened to me they had better finish me because i would make it my task in finding them with an even bigger group of fellas and beating them senseless reagrdless of their age or sex.

    I agree, my Dad is a bit of an uptight asshole, but as long as I'm living on his budget I manage to keep my mouth shut.
