Raging - Again :-(

Wow. Had my badges nicked - 24hrs later we're on the edge of writing up our charter and starting The Revolution 
Rather than respond to everything above, let me just say that I agree pretty much with the general assessment of society nowadays compared to when I was a kid, and at the very least people seemed to have a lot more respect for others' property. In this instance I am in the corporal punishment camp, and if I ever catch anyone damaging my property I'll make them wish they never had, in a very direct manner :evil:
This comment from macker42 caught my eye though :
Firstly, I agree with the sentiment of this.Young people do get a hard time nowadays that is not entirely justified given the society they have been brought up in and the prospects they face - even joining the army is not safe anymore, and the Forces used to be a great career for a kid who wasn't quite lucky or smart enough to land a sweet job somewhere they could learn and grow up at the same time. On the other hand, I do think it is a viscious circle and young people are pretty good at coming back at real or perceived negativity from the 'older' generation in a way that is totally and utterly devoid of respect. I politely asked a kid to stop sitting on my car outside my house once, and when he muttered he "wasn't damaging it" I told him that it was rude if nothing else, and could he move, now. 2 hours later saw him and his mates running past the car and down the alley out the corner of my eye, and as they did there was a sharp metallic noise - went outside, 4 inch key down the rear wing. Not much, but all I'd asked him to do was stop sitting on my car.
To your point though - in Scottish vernacular, wee f
er does not automatically meant 'kid', it is a diminuative insult, and I didn't blame kids specifically ; none of my ex's or colleagues live anywhere near me and I have no neighbours disgruntled at me. Honest. I didn't see who did it, you are right, but it's hard to imagine any of the adults who transit our street stealing the badges, believe me. Lots of kids from different backgrounds do however use the path down the side of our house as a cut-through, or general gathering point at all times of the night generally, and on the few occasions I have felt the need to ask that they not run across the front garden, chuck cans or stones over the back wall, run through the hedge, or sit on my car, I have never once had a polite apology, only sullenness or downright abuse. If I do think it's kids, can you really blame me ?
Anyway, I'm feeling better now, much of which is to do with you lot , and as Andy has reminded me I am getting up to a day off - morning fuelling, washing and packing the car, then after lunch off on a road trip with my son - can't see the badges from inside, and it's going to be a blast

and your telling me to lighten up I am not fortunate to own a zed, I left school with NO qualifications and I have worked Fecking hard all my life with a grand total of 4 months of unemployment since 1979, I have never robbed anything ever, I have never vandalised anything ever, I obey the laws that govern my country (mostly
). I have fought for my country during the falklands campaign.So please go ahead and patronise me somemore, coz I love hearing how fortunate I am for getting up off my backside and making a living for me and my family instead of demanding one from all the other tax payers in the country.
This thread may have started about Bing having his badges nicked but like most threads on here it progresses and goes of subject, just like real life conversation, if you cant manage that without patronising someone then I suggest you don't get involved.

I assume you are not entirely serious but as a short information video
Do not click on this link to a Singaporean caning if you have a weak stomach.

Honestly I would rather none of us had badges on our cars.

Point taken - my wife is Malaysian, so I'm not unfamiliar with the rather extreme approaches taken to punishment in that part of the world. I should have been more precise, by 'corporal punishment' I meant a good hard smack or three delivered by the aggrieved party to the offending party if caught red-handed vandalising my property. Probably should just have said that

Watched the video. don't know the storey behind it.
However would like to comment on it.
IF and ONLY if it had been proved this particular gentleman in the video was guilty of nicking Bings badges, and this caning was done in public in front of all his thieving mates as well, I would bet there would be at the least an 80% drop in thieving in that area inside of a week.
The gentleman in the video was well protected from mis hits from the giver, at the end he walks away, granted with blood running down his legs, but he walks away and would have recieved medial attention straightaway. BUT HE WOULD NEVER, EVER DO IT AGAIN, unless he enjoys :?
This I do not have a problem with, coz I know it will never happen to me.
you can't extract a tumour without making a cut.

He grew up knowing what was in store for rapists and still he offended.
You don't think he might be cross, even liable to anger management issues?
Perhaps we should take this discussion somewhere else.
I think I can put together a cogent argument against caning.
shall I start a thread in the lounge?

Good idea,
Sorry Bing for thread hijack.
Good Idea Finisterre, though Idont think you should limit it to just caning but maybe open a discussion on Corporal punishment, Perhaps add a poll ?
Be interesting
I should perhaps fore warn you, My Best friend of 20 years is a social worker, he works with Rapists, Peeds wife beaters and murderers, He after 20 years has not convinced me against corporal punishment and has given me up as a lost cause, But bring forth your argument sir

In some Arab countries - you steal: you loose your hand. Few people are ever caught stealing twice 
I'm not saying all theives should be executed etc etc. However, it's true that there are few consequences for minor criminal indents now, which is an issue.
Just my tuppence worth....

Really sorry to read about the damage, yes it sucks.
As for the rants, makes an interesting read........first I am none to happy about the lack of discipline in society, but it has always been there, nothing new about it, has it got worse over the decades of course it has the general population has grown and communication is easier.
My concern is, we bring back flogging for the peeps that stole bings badges, what will be the punishment for downloading pirated entertainment or speeding.
I might be an atheist, but the saying he who has not sinned may cast the first stone........
