agreed, you should always be polite and tell them your name. what they hell are they going to do with your name anyway?

they probably approached because you had girls with you and they wanted to talk (i suppose more than this ). but if you were nice to them in the first place you guys might of had a good time together? if not you could of spoken to then for say 10mins, then say "oh we got to go now." and none of this would of happened.

There is a lot to be said for civil libertarians (apart from they don't shave their armpits) Back in my day if ya stuffed up ya paid the penalty, Whether that be the cain at school, the local copper giving you a boot up the butt and stern scaring to or the old man wrapped the kettle cord around ya butt. We soon learned what was right and wrongand learned that there were consiquences if we chose to do wrong.

These days kids are taught that no matter what they do wrong nobody has the right to repremand them, Therefore when making the choice between right and wrong some of them figure "well I really shouldn't do this, But it does look like fun and nothing is going to happen to me if I get caught". You even find most of these teenagers out there filming their exploits and having a good laugh.

Nobody carried things like knives, Guns or Baseball bats back in the bad old days because they knew that if they got caught with them they would get a Huge kick in the butt. If you had a Beef with somebody you sorted it out with the tools you were born with and once it was over that was it.

I have tried to Teach my kids from my mistakes and explain to them all about consequences, So far they seem to be turning out pretty good and hopefully they stay that way. But if I ever hear that they are out there doing this sort of stuff no do gooder is going to stop me kicking them in the butt and making them feel what consequences are.

I don't believe in bashing kids but I do believe that there really does need to be some sort of discipline bought back into the world.

If a drunk guy walks up to you on the street and asks for your name, do you tell them? I think not.

They were purely looking for trouble. You can feel the vibes, atmosphere, gut feeling whatever. And they didn't wanna be friends, I can assure you.

No you tell them your Bruce Lee or Danny Green, your having a bad day and you want to share the feeling.

Always entertaining.

:togo:

Violence isn't the answer with d!ckheads in commodores, and it isn't with kids either. I'm not advocating letting them run riot, just saying there are more effective ways to discipline kids than hitting them. What's better...doing the right thing because it's the right thing, or doing the right thing because you know if you don't, the old man is gonna wrap the kettle cord around your legs?
: where did i mention the cane FFS. Did you mean to quote someone else and made a mistake , are you a stirring tool or are you just unable to read ??? I can accept genuine comments about what i have said but when you quote me as saying something i did not thats just plain stupid

I've replied to you via PM, but seeing as you've posted here, I'll reply here too. All I was quoting from you, was that you were rightly saying he shouldn't go over and knee-cap the bloke. The quote was probably a poorly chosen one in hindsight, but that was the aim at the time.

Like I also said in my PM, there's no need to fly off the handle either. Simply asking me to edit is fine, instead of carrying on.

Settle down mate. Just a poorly chosen quote.
Edit: Seems I can't edit my old post. Maybe a mod would like to remove the quote from it, so we can all un-bunch our knickers.

I'd be more ****ed off at the girl then at the drunk teenagers. Sure those guys were idiots but what was the girl doing yelling crap like that and getting you in trouble.

After reading both your posts on this thread numerous times, i'm yet to find something helpful. Guys are not pathetic. An observation was made by a few members, that sometimes women can put their foot in their mouths with poorly timed and thought out comments. (see orig post ) Thanks for proving that.

It was a joke mate. Ease up.

The comment was made page back that if the girl did not open her mouth, then nothing would have happened. If the other drop kick didn't open his, then nothing would have either.

The only pathetic guy I know, is the one that can't handle getting abit of lip from a girl. the guy had the intention of hitting this girl because of a few words. The words must have damaged his ego bad! I fly off the tap, and can't fight logically, I just start swinging as soon as you swing at me so I avoid physical confrontation as much as possible.

If I had a bunch of good mates in my car like that, then I would have done the same as you. If I was alone however, I would have showed them what a Falcon rear end looks like.

We can all pretend we are goodie goodies here. However, if the Police ain't going to do anything (as proven here) then I think my life is my important then a few small laws. Debatable by alot of people! :thebirds:

As long as it ended well. Hope the car stays safe, if not, let us know, road trip to Cairns anyone? :
