Why I hate the World We Live in

[Wouter]

Well, I don't agree it's a dreadful world worth to hate we live in. It wasn't better in the past I reckon.
But this news was appalling indeed. As far as I understood they captured four brats probably responsable for it. I hope they will get some sort of punishment worth it.

I can only blame the parents and the situation the world is currently in.

Why blame the parents? Not everything is down to bad parenting! Some kids have issues that are nothing to do with their parent(s). I say that from personal experience

Perhaps, it could go either way...follow their parents behavior/character or be neglected with no guidance whichever is the lesser of two evils. If they are taught from young how to behave civicly knowing what is wrong or right and not to be influenced easily then perhaps issues may not occur. If a couple can spend the time to bring a child into this world then they better be prepared to parent them properly...know when to reprimand and explain when the kid misbehaves.
Of course there are some bad apples...there must be something that triggers these issues.

Without delving into my past on here in public all i am going to say it that i was brought up by fantastic parents who taught me the core values and right from wrong. And yeti went 'off the rails' (no pun intended) because i had issues and did some stupid things as a young teenager. I am not proud of what i did and i am not defending those kids that destroyed the exhibit. Just saying that whilst i condemn their action, i will not slate them as a whole. I have many skeletons to carry and i am dealing with the scares they leave behind. Maybe they have the same and need help and guidance from professionals.

I say again... i condemn their actions and the trauma it has caused.

And at this point i am out of this conversation. I feel i have made my point.

Sorry to hear about that Alan...I think some of us have been mischevious in our younger days but what happened to the exhibits is evil. Totally unacceptable.

The odd thing I cannot come to terms with.

4 boys 4 families. Do they all have issues ?
