I remember when....If I didn't do what was required of me in school, I would get detention or even the cane if deserving. Also remember when swearing on the street was tackled by the Police. When two people on the same bicycle would be reported and taken to court. Riding bicycles the wrong way in a one way street..ditto. If a policeman caught you nicking anything, he could hit you with his black leather glove and you would not dare tell your dad for fear of getting hit again.
The days of great expectations of people behaving considerately and even lawfully have gone...with it have gone the days of teachers, policemen, parents and other authority figures 'controlling' or 'disciplining' bad behaviour because "Children have rights" you know but adults don't!!!! Until adults are given back the prerogative to handle situations..society is stuffed! and getting worse by the year.
