What the hell is wrong with kids today, these punks spend too much time playing on computers, ipods (or whatever they are), ps3's etc, they believe what's happening in the games is reality and its fine to go out and terrorise people.
Get these reprobates off their backsides, get them kicking a football or rugby ball around and get them socializing and interacting with other human beings. Get to school and get a job, don't turn into a bum!
Cheers
Very very little to do with technology and nearly everything to do with (1) parenting (ie lack of) which is and has been staggeringly lacking in far too many homes over the last 30 years and (2) a culture of hostile denial among certain of our "brilliant" education officers (now, thank God, retired) who realised that to admit there was a problem meant they had to try to rectify it and of course they were poorly (or non existently) trained and ill equipped to do so and belonged to the "beat them" school of pedagogy Once the beating approach failed, they had to find someone to blame -Shazzam! -foreign teachers. Ask the teachers (expat and local) who see these things happening in the schools long before they reach the streets. They are totally non surprised with what they see in the "courts news" part of the media.
