Misleading. Back then you'd get in trouble for having the school evacuated for pulling the fire alarm. Today kids are shooting up schools.
I'm sorry, but are you ******* serious with this post?

The person who attacks is lucky the victim isn't pulling a weapon out. A lot of people have permits to carry now a days.
***edit, and I'm not condoning or advocating using the weapon, just that the situation could escalate if someone is attacked. Knockout isn't a game.
Yep. Gang initiations were the "scary" thing to look out for when I was growing up. Or how about the roving bands of thugs who roamed the Mall of America, when it first opened, and slashed people's Achilles tendons when they walked down the stairs?
I would find it real hard to feel sorry for that person if the next time they tried to do this, they got shot. Play stupid games, win stupid prizes.
So statistics are misleading but your opinion is the truth?
I'll just say there's a lot more stupidity by kids now. I mean you have this, the milk thing, and other sorts of "games" which are just dumb. I don't question the crime part but some of this is just dumb **** done with a lack of respect to people in general.
Don't forget about the one where the gangs drive around at night with their headlights turned off and when you flash your lights at them they follow you and kill you.
...by slashing your achilles tendons. It's always about the tendons.

I'd consider myself a generation (ok, maybe just half a generation) removed from these kids and I'm pretty damn embarrassed by some of the **** I did. Not so much in college, but in high school. I had a friend who lived out in the country and one night we thought it would be hilarious if we all pretended we were beating up our buddy on the side of the road and then see how many times a driver coming past would circle back to see what was going on. So stupid, dangerous, and pretty cruel to the random driver, but I don't think it was some sort of indictment of "kids those days".

Honestly didn't care enough to click your link, so not sure what stats you're referring to.
a new wave of gang initiations where the goal was to find someone big and imposing and try to knock them out. I just got lucky and he got the worst of it.
Ahh I see. Well, you can continue to believe your own lies and look like an idiot, like you do now. Carry on.Honestly didn't care enough to click your link, so not sure what stats you're referring to.
well said.
Every generation thinks the ones that come after it are no good, out of control, punks, hell bent on bringing down society. It's called getting older. And yes, while there's going to be some bad stuff that happens, it doesn't mean that this generation is any worse than the one that came before it. the world keeps on spinning.
Honest question and specifically talking about young kids (12 or younger). Do you think they behave differently now than when you were a kid.
