Maybe we need to bring back the strap. Beat the fear back into the little buggers. I think it all comes down to the people raising these children. They are not teaching respect any more. I respected my elders. I looked up to them. It's so much easier to let these kids just watch tv or play video games rather than be involved in their lives. Maybe that's where the problem also lies. There's a disconnect between the parents and the kids. "Don't bother me kid, I'm watching my soap, (or I'm watching my hockey game). Go play a video game or watch your own tv that is in your room with 2000 channels available to you that I don't bother checking to see what it is you are watching."

That was close lolipop :exclaim:

Hi Everyone:

Those are funny pics of those seniors in their t-shirts Mmmme!:lolsign:

Well, I guess no one from here has landed the Black Crowes tickets eh? I was only able to call in for the 9, 10 and 11 O'clock times, was caller 40 once but no tickets:sad:

I won tickets to see the premiere to the movie "Letters to Juliet" last night at the Scotiabank theatre, but for some reason I thought it was at the AMC so I went there thinking we'd go and see "Robin Hood" instead which was on about the same time, I was surprised to see I had the wrong theatre and by the time I got to the right theatre it was too late for "letters to Juliet" so I ended up going in to see "Hot Tub Time Machine" instead as it was the only one starting then. A bit confusing (:-~) but at least I got to see something free. I don't really know why I thought it was at the AMC. Tonight I'm going to see the premiere to "Just Wright" as I won tickets to that one too - and this time I've got the theatre right!!!:-)

LOL This has never happened to me before, I'm all excited. Man it's Kim Mitchell, and I was on the radio, that is sooooo COOOL!!!

I probably sounded like a ditz, I was talking to my mum while I was calling in, and I was just stunned that I got through, and caller number 105!! With Kim Mitchell. On the radio! I think I was more excited cuz he answered the phone. That's just amazing. LOL Hope I didn't blow out anyone's radio with that shriek of mine *blush*

I thought so too!

Especially the last one :lolsign::lol:
(I can almost see... never mind):zip:

Very accurate statement. Many of us grew up in the generation where if you got into a bit of trouble at school, you were guaranteed to face the wrath of your parents when you got home.
I think that it is very much a systemic problem. Respect and long standing principles are a thing of the past. Many kids are left to their own avails & are living in homes where there is no guidance or hands on parenting.
A lot of us probably grew up in the era of when you wanted something, you were expected to save up for it with money that you earned yourself.
When my kids were little, the big thing at school was pogs. The school had to ban them because they caused such a distraction & kids were resorting to sneaky tactics to accquire more of them.
I don't think cell phones, iPods or games should even be allowed at schools either.
I doubt you'll ever see the back to basics philosophy make a comeback though.
As for the strap, I am remembering a family of five boys who lived a few doors down from me. One of them was getting the strap just about every day for various reasons....what we considered in then to be boyhood pranks.
