Was entering a store today in Florida Mall just behind an American kid. I was surprised to see that he held the door open for me and my daughter to follow. I thought "This would never happen back home." 15 minutes later, I was going into another store when some tattooed British, chav-like fully grown woman took one look at me and my 3-year old and let the door slam in our faces. I fooking hate what our nation has become and I feel like becoming an illegal alien here right now. In Britain the climate is shite, the people treat you like shite and we've got more potential terrorists than the whole of the USA FFS:rant: .

well said that man ..............unfortunatly mate its those that have the ( try to remain PC here ) the lower IQ ,and lower moral standards that are doing the breeding like rats and passing their diluted ethos of what being human means to their ferral offspring , so hence every generation of pond life that gets spat into our country by the unwashed unmarried unemployable dregs of humanity are getting worse and worse , result being the decline of good manners and all things English that once made us a great nation ...........off the soap box now ...........ill get my coat

LOL - spot on Steve :bow: I really hate these scum. You see their kids and think "That's the next generation of idiots and they're going to be worse than this bunch". I find it really depressing :(

Aye, scum breeding scum!

 

Too harsh, no!

bring back the cane!

And how many kids do they have? Sorry but they have 4 or 5 kids even more in some cases and they aint had a job since they left school 25 years ago. Child benefit should only be given for the first 2 kids. After that your on your own. I'll get my coat too Steve. :D

No, don't get your coat, you're absolutely right mate........ :o

 

And it will get much worse unfortunately. Schools are continuously dumbing down; dropping "proper" history that showed what a great nation we once were in favour of more PC "issue" related learning, will breed a population of an even lower IQ. We are effectiely paying the scum to stay at home instead of going out to work and so on...... :rant:

 

We have had any sense of national pride squeezed out of us for fear of being racist or xenophobic. We have become a society that hero worships worthless celebrities etc etc.....

 

Blair's legacy?...... :confused: Makes you proud, doesn't it. :nelson:

Too fookin right.

 

The dumbing down of the nation is embarrassing.

Talk to the people you work with and find out how many are leaving this sacred Isle, to raise kids in better place.

 

I know of at least 7 at work and have twice as many mates that have gorn.

I can't wait to leave Britain. It's turned into a festering sh!thole where the biggest crime appears to be being british.

 

In the words of The Prodigy, "**** 'em and their law"

im considdering trying to transfer to New Zealand, looks a reasonable place

about 2 more years and ime getting the fvk out of here for all the reasons above,hope to buy my mother-in-laws house in north california in the red woods and the great thing is the missus was born and raised there so its kinda nice for her too ;) the hardest thing for me now is controlling my temper over daily conflicts concerning the low-life scrots that i come across and keep telling myself "not long,not long" this place is disgusting and has become a breeding ground for stuck up there own asses low life with no manners,breeding,concern for thy neighber,jealous snitching twats and thats before i start about the migrating masses coming here for a free lunch so these days i say nothing and keep my snout clean just waiting for the next big wave to carry me off this septic isle

 

ps:and dont give me this british patriotic shite, i cant hear ya :mad:

Well all

 

I've said it before on here .... so I'll say it again.... It's 'cos we've had 50 years of Peace.... No world war to wipe out the cannon fodder. I know that's not PC but neither really is driving a zed like it's capable of !

Whenever I've been on Holiday the last couple of years it's opened my eyes to just how crappy our society and country has become. The only Brits I see are the token chav family, all wearing England tops, draped in crappy gold, drinking cans of Stella 24/7, eating nothing but pizza and chips and being the fooking loudest out of everyone. I'm embarrassed to be British when I'm away, what must other nations think? they must fooking hate us.

Totally agree Glenn! There is no culture left in this country…..and the women are starting to follow suit. British women I find generally have limited class and are quite cultureless compared to that of continental Europe.

 

Anything remotely related to socialising involves alcohol in this country.

 

I always go where Brits generally don't when I go off on my jaunts.

 

I must add, further to my trip to France this weekend, I was horrified to see a group of 3 piss heads on the stern of the ferry on the way over, smashing up chairs and throwing things over the side. I was appalled and ashamed to be British. The loutish behaviour this country is known for really stinks to be honest.

most deffinetly agree with all the above posts gents, whats this country coming too?? where will it end ffs??

Those are french people, that's their chair that broke because it was old and brittle....so who are you to judge?

But then again

Research which finds that teenage problems have more than doubled in 25 years is the kind of headline-grabbing news that social scientists launch gingerly into the public domain.

Put this research into the hands of the Daily Mail and it would be ample grist for those peddling tales of Britain's moral decline: kids don't know right from wrong; they lie, they steal, they're disobedient. Or another favourite: the breakdown of the family is making our teenagers miserable, and working mums should bear the most blame as the rise in maternal employment virtually parallels the increases in emotional and behavioural problems. New Labour has opted to play the former tune - Tony Blair gave one rendition earlier this summer in his tirade against 60s values.

New Labour has had only two policies on youth: its crusade against anti-social behaviour and its mission to raise educational standards. It expects two things of adolescents: that they achieve academically and are law-abiding. A very large proportion fail on one or both accounts. Surveys of the developed world show UK teenagers have one of the worst staying-on rates in after-16 education and are more likely than most to take drugs, binge drink and have underage sex. Compared with this dire record, the success story of government policy has been all about Sure Start and early years. The language is about investment, as if children were stock options. The pressure is on teenagers to start paying returns - and yet this is entirely at odds with reality.

 

Never has the financial dependence of children lasted so long - well into their 20s - and at the same time consumer pressures have intensified. No political party has known what to do with adolescents once the apprenticeships and assembly-line jobs ran out. The Tories cut their benefits. Under New Labour, they got the New Deal and little else. Adolescents have had a raw deal out of a government which heaps expectations on them which they can't meet. In the New Labour rubric of rights and responsibilities, they were given the latter but without the means to fulfil them. At the same time, the rights shrank. It is harder than ever to get on to the housing ladder, harder than ever to fund a university education. New Labour has only exacerbated the contradictions of the transition to adulthood which awaits your average 15-year-old. We expect them to be independent and yet cut off all financial means of being so. No wonder the 18- to 24-year-olds are the constituency least likely to vote.

 

Experts are divided about the rise in teenage misery. They broadly fall into two camps. The first take the view that the causes lie predominantly in structural issues: for example, the labour market has few jobs for 16-year-olds spilling out of an unsatisfactory education, and the secondary educational system sets up far too many children to fail. Plus, we have a media culture which bombards teenagers with marketing and invidious social comparisons that undermine self-esteem. As a result, adolescence has became a painful experience and teenagers are self-medicating with drugs and drink to cope with the stress.

 

This is the explanation which has got through to government, and two initiatives out next month will propose remedies: the Tomlinson report is looking into a restructuring of education for 14- to 19-year-olds, while a green paper will look at youth services such as leisure activities. The concern is that both are being drawn up according to the familiar New Labour preoccupations of ensuring that teenagers are employable and law-abiding.

 

The second camp take a much bigger and more disturbing view. They argue that this is not just a problem of adolescence, but that further research is likely to show up a comparable rise in miserable seven-year-olds. They argue that there has been a deterioration in the mental health of all children. This isn't just about troubled teenagers but troubled tots. An increasing number of under-twos are exhibiting abnormal behaviour which is being diagnosed as depression.

 

The idea that we are raising unhappy children seems close to a doom scenario, but even more horrifying is how commonplace this kind of assumption seems to be among many experts in child and adolescent mental health. It is an assumption which has made few inroads into public debate and has had precious little impact on government policy: only 5% of the mental health budget goes to the under-16s. Perhaps we just don't want to know; we invest so much in the happiness of our children, we can't bring ourselves to face the evidence to the contrary. Perhaps we prefer to indulge in moral panics about their unruly behaviour rather than listen to their misery.

 

This line of argument takes us swiftly into huge controversy because it goes to the heart of how we parent. It suggests that an increasing minority of parents are unable or unwilling to provide the emotional nurturing which will ensure a resilient child. Margot Waddell, consultant psychotherapist at the Tavistock Clinic in London, defines that as wisdom, thoughtfulness, consistency, forbearance and availability. These qualities can occur in any shape of family and in any kind of childcare, so we shouldn't get caught up in pinning the blame on single parents or working mothers - it's the emotional dynamics which count. The question is why fewer of us are providing that kind of care for our children. At adolescence, early experiences of childhood are being replayed, says Waddell, and the stress of the transition to adulthood exposes all the faultlines. Dinah Morley, of the mental health charity Young Minds, puts it even more starkly: there is a failure in attachment. A growing number of us simply aren't bonding sufficiently with our babies.

 

That's a haunting thought. We're anxious parents now, but what we worry about more than ever is our children's safety, health and education. Childhood has been infected by a highly supervised techno-managerialism loaded with targets and statistics - developmental outcomes, tests, league tables - and perhaps we need to put back centre stage an old dream: happy children. What is just as important to a child's life chances as a clutch of exam certificates is their emotional resilience to deal with what life will throw at them. It's a troubling possibility that our teenagers are like the canaries they used to take down the mines to detect gas. Their acting-up is acting out a much bigger problem.

Whilst at work my brother and a colleague were asking people if they knew who Fidel Castro was.

A few people had no idea and one person actually said "I think I just met him outside"

 

Its funny but also pretty grim.
