Almost half of Britons think children are violent and starting to behave like animals, a Barnardo's survey suggests. The children's charity says the research suggests society holds a negative view towards children despite the majority being well behaved. Of the more than 2,000 people questioned by ICM Research, 44% said young people were becoming feral. Barnado's chief executive Anne Marie Carrie said it was "depressing" so many were ready to give up on children. The survey revealed that: 49% agreed children are beginning to behave like animals Almost 47% thought youngsters were angry, violent and abusive One in four said those who behaved badly were beyond help by the age of 10 Whilst 36% thought children who get into trouble need help, 38% disagreed The charity said many young people who end up in custody come from difficult backgrounds so, in order to prevent trouble, society first had to deal with their problems. Barnardo's volunteer project worker Natasha Cripps, who commissioned the research, said the word "feral" indicated a complete desertion of young people.

Well, let's see.

Civilization is imposed on the young by family. Destroy family, and destroy civilization; say hello to feral humans.

What did Dem Senator Moynihan have to say about this 40 years ago?

[WayneS]

“The children now love luxury; they have bad manners, contempt for authority; they show disrespect for elders and love chatter in place of exercise. Children are now tyrants, not the servants of their households. They no longer rise when elders enter the room. They contradict their parents, chatter before company, gobble up dainties at the table, cross their legs, and tyrannize their teachers.”

-— Socrates (as attributed by Plato)

Having bad manners and not standing when an elder enters the room is a whole lot different than turning feral.

May I point out “flash mobs” or “slap”?

“starting to behave like animals”

As someone that has owned many dogs (we have had as many as seven at one time) and has observed for many years the pack behavior of these animals, I say

BULL SHITE

I wish these kids would behave like animals!

Many of these kids behave like savages. Animals in a pack have a much greater sense of order, correctness, and respect than many of the kids that wind up on U-tube videos.

The problem’s root, then, is illegal droogs? Kruvy.

After Socrates said this, the Athenians: lost the generations-long peleponesian war to their mortal enemy Sparta, were ruled over by the 30 tyrants, reestablished democracy long enough to vote for Socrates execution, then, finally lost their self rule to the Macedonians in 338, never to regain it as a polis. I think he had a point.

A Clockwork Orange was just a reality show ahead of its time!

“We are always only one generation away from barbarism” due to Macauley, I believe.

[LaRueLaDue]

Different cultures, different times... I seriously doubt that the ancient Greeks would put up with the behaviour we do out of our young today, without selling the miscreants into slavery, or outright killing them. Life was a bit more brutal and “in-your-face” back then.

Britain turned against God, and this is the result.
