Tony Blair seems to have just woken up to the fact that there is a "Yob Culture" in Britain. Better late than never! Has anyone got any ideas what to do with these teenage louts who seem to care little about anything, other than making life a misery for others. And how can we stop things getting worse?

Ian,

Excellent because I don't know what a "yob" is either. I could go google it, but would rather hear it from somebody I know and trust.

What is a "yob"?

Treat them like adults.
Get them to take a GCSE in social responsibility.
Educate the parents. Reward good behaviour.

Someone (usually a teenager) who engages in anti-social behaviour such as binge drinking, mugging, intimidation of decent law abiding folk, vandalism, joy riding, verbal abuse of all and sundry etc etc etc. And we are sick of it and powerless to do anything about it. If you take the law into your own hands and clip them round the ear then you are the one who ends up in trouble with the police!!

Thank you.

Knowing nothing about it, I will just read this thread. I am not qualified to answer. In Utah, nobody would really care if we pistol whip the buggers. But that is what we get for being rednecks?

So I take it you are one of said cowards hanging out as loser chimps? Whacking on those you feel you can defeat?

Why? Just because you can?

Sure, turn the country into a republic and deport Prince Harry and William to Zanzibar. They can dress up as Nazis and Kaffirs and hunt all the foxes they can eat, if foxes were edible or the royal family was stupid enough to eat inedible foxes, which two observations are untrue and true respectively.

Wow. Never has so little logic been spewed by so few to so many.

Beat up on any old ladies lately? I take it you are also a coward like what's her name? Bowmann? A big bad girley man? Attacking in a pack. Never alone? Stupid chimp. Come to Utah. Meet old ma 44. If you dare. I will be really glad to introduce you to ms. lead. She has a split personality.

Hmmm, I understand, you're inviting me to punch you, right? Sorry, I could probably be persuaded to accede to your wishes if you were a decent-looking old lady, but I'm afraid the age and prettiness gap is just too great. You could try cruising for bruises in General, though, I hear you're quite the star in some quarters, and S+M is always popular on the internet, especially with chessfiends.

Now, now, Great Aunt Agatha, don't get your knickers in a twist.

Now we know, and by his own admission: StarValley is just a deluded old lady looking for love and bruises. Hahaha.

I like it. You don't refute that you are a... what is it? A "putz"? or "yot" err... whatever.

Seriously. What glory do you get from attacking things and institutions that are time tested? Like the civilized right of passage? On a thoroughfare or street? BTW... So much for all those who pm'd me because I dared to dispute that civilization is on a razor edge.
