Works for me... 3 Teenagers Charged in Vandalism at Cemetery |

Not the only act of vandals that can't be explained. Wanton destruction, teenagers, this one on and of hallowed ground. Boredom and parents that either trust too much or are absent (multiple jobs?), total lack of respect for others. It wasn't for lack of morals in the parents as they took the kids in to the cops immediately. Rest of the story is the teenagers were convicted, sentenced to community service and restitution. Collectively they came up with less than $500 towards the million dollar damage, before they reached the end of their sentences. As a society we must have and teach respect for each other and their property. With the nastiness and name calling of political discourse today I'm not surprised that some impressionable minds may be led astray and feel that disrespect, damage and destruction are socially acceptable. |

Works for me... All I get is a message about them not able to share with the European Union. I guess The LA Kim Jong-un Times feels us old worlders ain't good enough to read their blurb. (I tried various US and Canadian web-proxies as well as my normal TOR but non could get the story. <I'm not going to reconfig TOR to circumvent just for one story>) I might understand this if it was a media (copyright) item but everyday human news??? Anyways Kevvy. Thanks for the quote. I kind of expect most young people to vandalise something at least once in their (oops our) lives. Hopefully just foolish minor stuff. Gross vandalism is in many ways something arbitary where there are no other people around or we have left something of value unprotected or unwatched. There is plenty of vandalism done by older people to. There are also cases of state sanctioned vandalism for various profit or political purposes. Not sure why we focus only on the young. (Unless we Setizens are becoming old fogies.) . |

Not the only act of vandals that can't be explained. Sorry Gary. The article is blocked here in Europe. I didn't realise at first. Thats why I questioned. Wanton destruction, teenagers, this one on and of hallowed ground. Probably quite typical of vandalism although the extent and cost in this case is overwhelming :( Boredom and parents that either trust too much or are absent (multiple jobs?), total lack of respect for others. It wasn't for lack of morals in the parents as they took the kids in to the cops immediately. Turning your kids in isn't always a sign of morality. Collectively they came up with less than $500 towards the million dollar damage, before they reached the end of their sentences. Not satisfactory but unless the families involved were millionaires I doubt they could afford to offer a million dollars! As a society we must have and teach respect for each other and their property. With the nastiness and name calling of political discourse today I'm not surprised that some impressionable minds may be led astray and feel that disrespect, damage and destruction are socially acceptable. It is true that as a society we need to engender respect (and more so care) for others (and oneself.) Sometimes the question is did our parents engender enough of the social skills and mindset in us so that this generation of young people would learn well from us. The answer to these issues is difficult. There is evidence of graffiti in the pyramids and other ancient monuments going back to 5000 years ago. If you read any of the newspapers from say the 1800s you will see many a story of vandalism. Of course the expression "Vandalism" is drawn from those evil Vandals who sacked ancient Rome. :) Plato (2.4 thousand years ago) in one of his drones moaned on about young people and their bad and unsocial behaviour. As our societies become more wealthy and there are more things to vandalise it is inevitable that something of great expense will become broken. Something you said about 'boredom' strikes a chord for me. Not not because kids are bored (they have so much junk to entertain them) but because we (the UK is a case) no longer invest in youth services or out of school activities and proactive youth workers. My city for example had 200 youth projects and full time workers (not that many for 1.2 million population) 20 years ago but with cut backs now only has 20 or so. (All the networks have fallen.) I am not making excuses - Just an arguement that it is not the cost of what is vandalised we should be looking at nor the age of the vandals but the deeper reason for vandalism and how we as a society and individuals (you and me) can make a positive difference. |

Shoe giants urge Trump to end trade war https://www.bbc.com/news/business-48360373 I love how nowhere in these articles do they ever mention that those shoes cost $5 or less to make. And sell for $50 to $150. People b*tch about iPhones being expensive but Apple "only" charges you 4 times the price of the phone. Not 10 to 30 times as much! (And I'm no Apple fan) (And I'm no nationalist either but just make them in the USA and STFU. That's the shoes, not the iPhones) |

(And I'm no nationalist either but just make them in the USA and STFU. That's the shoes, not the iPhones) Make shoes in the USA? Are you knuts? Do you want to pollute the planet with all the cancer causing runoff from the hide operations and the cancer contamination from the gluing operations?! You must be knuts to think the EPA would allow making shoes! ;-) |
