| Barry I have to gree with U on many points although I have not seen James May video I can attest to the kids of today. Being a scout leader in todays Scouts and having returned to the movement after a 15 year break I was amazed to find that that kids of today can not carry a simple clasp knife (pocket knife) and when I fronted up to my first scout meeting wearing a multi-toll you would have thought that I commited a crime, I was told to remove which I did not, I was told that if I didn't I would be report to the police for carrying an offensive weapon to whixh I produced a letter from the police saying it was and I quote "nothing but simple pair of folding pliers containg a few screw drivers and one knife blade" to this the Group Leader said well then there's nothing we can do. I stayed woth that group for 3 years before moving onto another group where the only challenge I've had was for calling our then Prime Minister Mr. John Howard an uneducated moron and for having a night on the dangers of drugs and a survival night where I showed the scouts a few knives. The kids of today Barry are too wrapped up in cotton wool by their stupid dotting parents especially mothers and the sooner these people realise that the kids of today have got to get dirty and get a little bloody the worse of we'll be. I know this is a little of the track but I had to put in my 2 cents worth anyway on kids. |
