What is wrong with some people

I have just got back from my Dad's, who is 81 next month.
Someone as thrown curry all over the front window of his house.
Why would they do that ?
It's really upset me.
All the time I was cleaning it off I wanted to cry for him and had to hold back the tears so not to upset him even more. :cry:

 

I'm really sorry to hear that Lyn. It's really upsetting for you both.
Some people are just miserable creatures who live miserable lives. They engage in mindless behaviour with no thought for other people or the consequences of their actions and probably don't have very much between their ears. If you watch the Jeremy Kyle show you'll see plenty of them.
Try not to let this upset you too much. I'm sure the attack wasn't personal - just where they happened to be when they wanted to get rid of the curry. Idiots !

 

I think that's dispicable in the highest degree. I'm sorry to hear that your dad's house has been targeted by complete worthless scumbags.

The only consolation (if it is one) is that in all likelihood they didn't specifically target your dad, his house will have just been the one that drew the short straw on that occassion probably. It is still of course a disgraceful act but at least it is unlikely to be personal.

Someone once chucked fake blood all over my car. I was all set to phone the coppers to tell them there must have been a serious assault or something, until closer inspection revealed it to be fake, but it still really infuriated me.

The same breed of subhumans have a habbit of destroying any attempt to brighten up a neighbourhood. When I go up to see my mum, aftera trip to the pub I walk back along a main road that has many planted up containers on route. I routinely find myself stopping every few yards to replant the latest plant to have been uprooted and randomly chucked on the floor.

The positive side though is that most people, I believe, are still good people. Thankfully scumbags that chuck things at old people's houses or destroy communal gardens etc may draw a lot of attention but I do think they are a minority.

 

I agree with every word Lyn.

 

Lyn thats absolutely discraceful someone doing that, i would feel like crying also it must of upset your dad to see that, people are getting worse these days, i feel so sorry for your dad having to witness that and you yourself why would they target and elderly man, just cant get my head around people that do these horrid acts, im shocked

 

Im guessing your dad served in the HM services at some time, which, as with me would wonder was all the effort and sacrifice worth it?

Oddly enough, that same though has crossed my mind on several occasions, even though I'm not old enough to have witnessed either the war or the immediate aftermath. When I think that both my grandads and thousands of men like them (not to mention the often overlooked role that the women played) gave up so many years of their youth just so our own government can sign our country over to Europe and a minority of lowlifes can be allowed to get away with whatever they please, I think it is a real shame.

 

Dirty b**tards need a good kicking.

 

I doubt that this was a personal attack.
I am one of the few people in my neighbourhood not to have concreted over my front garden to make it into a car port with the result that I have to make regular expeditions into it with a rubbish bag to clear up the beer cans, cigarette packets, takeaway remainders etc. that people throw over my hedge to suit their convenience. A week ago a soiled nappy landed just under my Forest Flame.
I hate to say it but, years ago, people..even among the roughest.. would have had a little more respect for others' property. We seem to be breeding (and in some cases importing) a feckless, selfish generation in many parts of this country.

 

:gnthb: I agree.

People do strange things when they run out of popadoms :hehe:

Don't take it personally, it's not very nice but at least curry washes off

 

I know just how you feel Lynn - the young of today have no respect for anybody else especially the elderly.
My husband will be 80 in November and has had his garden vandalised by next door neighbours kids a couple
of times recently. Why do they think it's clever - it's beyond me.
Like you I could weep for him when I think of all the hard work he does in the garden and then we come home
to see how it has been messed up :(
He does not say it upsets him but I expect, like your Dad, he is hiding his feelings.

To be fair, its not the 'young of today', its a minority of the youth that are disrespectful nasty horrible little creatures, sometimes (but certainly not always) having been raised that way by nasty horrible parents.

If you want someone to blame, consider the do good politically correct brigade that sprung from nowhere in the mid 1980s. All forms of child discipline were systematically stripped away, being classified as abuse. At school the cane was banned, then the slipper and any form of corporal punishment. Kids knew this, and they knew what it meant. It meant there were no boundaries and it is a kids nature to test the boundaries and try to push them back. If the boundary doesn't push back, then the boundary moves.

The do good brigade would have us believe that kids are adults and therefore should be treat like adults, with a quiet polite word being used to express any concerns. If kids were just like adults then surely we could make them go to work for a living, let them buy and drive motor vehicles, let them drink and smoke if they want to, let them vote, and let them go to war if they want to. All these things are unthinkable, they are just kids. So if we don't let kids do these things then why do the do gooders think it is ok to treat them like adults when it comes to discipline?

The trouble is all this started in the schools of the mid 80's. Those school kids have now grown up and produced offspring of their own. We now have a generation of parents (and probably grandparents in a few cases) that were raised to believe that everything is somebody else's fault, and that discipline of any kind is illegal and immoral. Many parents I know actually fear the idea of having to discipline their kids because it has been drummed into them that any kind of effective discipline will lead to serious repercussions for them.

I think there are enough people left that still know right from wrong for this trend to be reversible, but I reckon it will take a generation at least.

You are so right- it is not all children - it just feels like it when you
are the victim of their actions. As you say the PC brigade/dogooders
have encouraged this trend.
Just keep hoping that perhaps one day things might change????????

I know what you mean. I once lived on a rough council estate for a number of years as a teenager, into my early 20s. I say it was rough because there was always something being vandalised, stolen or someone fighting or shouting abuse. But of an estate of something like a thousand households, you could count on one hand the number of people responsible. It was almost always the same small group of idiots. The thing is decent people don't stand out because they don't bother us. We only notice the bad ones. On this rough estate I lived on, there was occassional violence involving people that weren't the usual suspects, but it was usually decent people who'd reached breaking point and decided to dish out some justice of their own. I'm not saying that's right or wrong, but it did draw attention and build on the reputation for trouble that the estate was cursed with.
