I cannot believe how gullable you guys are. Mantis is obviously fishing for replies from you and you just can't help yourself. She knows she was in the wrong, you can't just hit someone because they're riding on the footpath, she'd be charged with assault if it actually happened.
*gullible. You can never really be gullible over the internet. Too hard to tell when someone's being sarcastic or not.
Nope I can't.
Wait for her to come out and say she isn't joking and she seriously believes she's in the right. Well now that I've said that she probably won't, because it will make her look stupid. Then again she probably won't be able to resist reinforcing the fact the younger generation are a bunch of ********s. Who knows.
I was definitely in the right, if someone is breaking the law & doesn't give a stuff about the innocent person walking on the footpath, notice the word footpath? It wasn't a joint bike pedestrian path, but a narrow footpath they are in the wrong.
What if the person walking was an old person who was hard of hearing? That idiot kid would have knocked them down & kept riding.
Seems these days, some young kids think they can do what they please & rules don't apply to them, yet when they get hurt, they cry like little babies.
Soft unlike us who were brought up with belts, canes, pot sticks and wooden spoons. The occasional slap around the head every now and again didn't hurt anyone either. What doesn't kill you only makes you stronger. http://smilies.vidahost.com/cwm/3dlil/******.gif
I hate older people telling me how to raise my kids. My kids have very good manners as it is.
A few years ago, I was at Coles with my 2 kids. My daughter would have been about 7 and my little boy 3. He knew the cheap toys were on the next aisle and as I was only about 5 metres away from the end, I said they could go and have a look at them but to be careful and not get in people's way.... blah blah nagging dad stuff.
When I got to the end of the aisle and turned the corner about one minute later, there was a guy who would have been in his 60s or 70s explaing to my son that he was not allowed to touch the toys as he might break them and they were not his until they were paid for. He was speaking in an aggressive manner and my little fella was almost crying.
I paid out on this guy and told him to mind his own business. Coles put the toys at that level so kids can touch them, so they can bug their parents to buy them. He had my permission to touch them and this guy had no right to interfere. His response was typically old school about kids running amuck when he was just being a normal little boy.
I blasted the miserable old bugger.
Manners and respect go both ways.

That so-called miserable old bugger more than likely went to war so that your child can grow up in free and peaceful country.
No respect anymore

What's that got to do with minding his own business?

Exactly TT & it's parents with that attitude that are turning out all these badly mannered, disrespectful kids.
Everything is old soldiers business, they fought for that right.
Not just the parents, the school system has got to shoulder some of the blame. All respect was lost when the liberal thinkers startered treating children as little adults.
Oh shut up. Your bitter complaining is so boring. What do you have against kids? I bet you're the type that wouldn't be nice and respectful to them, so why should they be back?
My dad went to war as well mate.
He is now in his 70s and has the respect of us 8 kids, 23 grand kids and 6 great grand kids. Not because he went to war, but because he one of the loveliest blokes anyone would want to meet and would not dream of upsetting a little boy who is not harming anyone. This is all despite the fact that he is an Eagles supporter.
As I mentioned in an earlier post. I treat everybody that I meet with total respect. But some people earn a lack of respect and this guys behaviour put him in that category.

Having read and taken a real interest in Jim Docker's story, I tracked down the old man and it turns out that he wasn't a distinguished war veteran, but actually a normal elderly man in a supermarket. His miserable demeanour could be explained by the fact he was one of many Mum and Dad investors that were burnt in the Qintex collapse in 89. He lost hundreds of thousands, despite a polished career in vintage automotive restoration. He actually said that Jim Docker's son had a passing resemblence to Christopher Skase, and that explained his terse manner when addressing him about touching toys that did not belong to him.
He was extremely remorseful when i spoke to him and asked me to pass on his apologies. Forgive him Jim Docker, sometimes it is hard to let go.
Not that I'm taking anyones side here but on the Perth busses it states that "concession paying ticket holders must give up there seat for full fare paying ticket holders" not that this actually happens.
It is in Sydney

For what it is worth I just treat people like I expect to be treated
I smile, do the door thing, offer seats and generally be nice to folk with no expectation of recognition
When it happens to me I always thank the person regardless
you reap what you sow

On Perth public transport it also says that they'll go to the effort to use DNA testing kits on people who spit as well though. It seems they just put signs up for the **** of it in WA.
