Having originally been born and raised on the tough streets of West Yorkshire and having the foresight to escape back in the early 70's I know all too well the mind set of the 'Uneducated great unwashed'. There have always been gangs and bullies and known bad guy's who infect every working class neighbourhood but never, never like it is today.
I have somewhat of a unique insight into this problem as I have recently returned to the UK after spending most of my adult life in North America. What I have observed since my return has been a shock to the system as I have witnessed first hand these low life council estate thugs terrorizing our neighbourhoods. It's time for the authorities to wake up and stop pussy footing around with these animals - it is too late to use the timid laws of the past to deal with this chronic social plague of today. See my solutions at the end of this sermon!
I believe the problems really started back in the 60's when we suffered a 'Lost' generation who used 'Sex Drugs and Rock & Roll' as an excuse to rebel against the values taught to them by responsible parents and committed teachers both with the power to dish out reasonable physical punishment. I went to an all boy’s school and believe you me the punishment dished out was reasonable and appropriate (although I didn't think so at the time). Looking back it was also very necessary and in 9 out of 10 cases fully deserved. Needs to be re-instituted!
This generation rebelled against societies values and grew up to be the lousy parents of the 80's that spawned the vermin we now see on the streets causing all this social unrest. Add to that the removal of the 'Right' of both parents and teachers to apply a crack to the back of your ear when you stepped out of line and you have the ingredients for a wayward generation. This needs to change!
On top of this you have the seemingly uncontrollable and insatiable violence perpetrated by Hollywood, television and the written media which have collectively contributed to the decay of people’s morals in general. By hiding behind the 'Freedom of Speech' they have chosen to forsake good taste in pursuit of the almighty dollar and ignored their professional responsibilities. This needs to be controlled!
Just take a step back and give your head a shake the next time you watch one of Hollywood’s latest blockbusters, the rapes, the uncontrolled and vivid acts of violence, the twisted plots of deranged fictitious individuals. Check out much of the programming on TV that is often just as graphic, listen to the language that is now considered acceptable, you wanna have phone sex - no problem - just watch the commercials on many of the channels after 11:00 pm. This needs to be controlled!
Now throw in the contribution of the internet and then consider the amount of illegal and immoral activity that this brings into our living rooms and bedrooms. Although it is a marvellous invention and is used in constructive ways such as education and communication it was never designed to be a platform for all that is wrong to be blasted into our homes and polluting impressionable minds. I remember when I bought my first computer for the home, at the time I had 2 boy's, one 8 and one 10 - they were told right at the start that it was for education only - not entertainment - and that's how it was used. Responsible parenting maybe?
Now look at the scams, the spamming, pornography, the incestuous chat rooms, the sex chat sites and who knows what else that is out there. Add to this the types of computer games that our kids now demand to own and consider how many hours they spend watching and participating in extreme violence. We kid ourselves that they won't take what they internalize out into the real world - but they do - and now you see it on the streets. These games need to be banned!
And last but not least we have today's modern music, specifically 'Hip Hop' and 'R & B' which is nothing more than American Nigger gangs promoting drugs, violence, guns, sex, hookers and generally objectionable lyrics. Check out all the kids walking around with I Pods with this crap reverberating in their heads. Not to mention the fact that it's lousy music. Needs to be banned!
On Friday and Saturday nights unhappy, uneducated council estate heathens descend on the bars and pubs, drink themselves silly and go looking for trouble. These are the same people who spend their sober time doing all the things I have mentioned above and it is this combination that is destroying our country.
When you add all these things together you have the recipe for what we have today - it's very simple - monkey see monkey do. It's time for the politicians and the authorities to change the rules, the old ones don't work anymore - proof is on our streets, in our newspapers and on the news on TV that are full of violent acts and unsociable behaviour. Somebody has to have the balls to implement some or all of the following measures to re-establish a safe society before its too late - here's my recommendations.
1. Remove the restrictions from parents and teachers in dealing out controlled and disciplined physical retribution in schools and their homes - no public displays of assault.
2. Ban all violent computer games!
3. Ban 'Hip Hop' black gang culture music!
4. Increase the legal drinking age to 21!
5. Control Television - raise the 9:00 pm watershed to midnight!
6. Simplify parental controls on TV's and computers!
7. Create 'Boot Camps' and send any teenager committing any crime away for 90-days - first offense!
8. Tell all kids entering secondary school that if they don't graduate they go to 'Boot Camp' for one year!
9. Make parents financially responsible for their kid’s crimes!
10. Take away pubs licenses for serving young people too much booze - outlaw binge drinking promotions!
Of course under our present political system no politician would have the balls to introduce and implement these changes - there is no point implementing just one or two of them (although it would help). All of them are required to correct the disgraceful behaviour of the youth of today, but equally importantly ensure we re-instil values in the youth of tomorrow.
