PeteM01 Posted March 31, 2017 Share Posted March 31, 2017 Little/nothing to do with genetics. It's almost all nurture, and that comes down to education. It's a difficult cycle to break though. Try behavioural epigenetics (https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Behavioral_epigenetics) This avoids the need to invoke eugenics, but some research suggests that attempting to change behaviour requires efforts over more than one generation. As you say, difficult. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sgtkate Posted March 31, 2017 Share Posted March 31, 2017 Why don't all the people on this thread go and have a really honest conversation with their parents about stuff they got up to when they were kids. Sure, they might have been perfect little angels, but somehow I doubt it. My dad has been a fairly upstanding member of the community for my whole life. Hardly drinks, really active, does lots of charity work, helped out at the local rugby club, sat on the PTA, never had anything to do with the police in a negative way, perfect gent. Yet when he was teenager he shot air rifles at trains from a bridge on the outskirts of his village. All this rubbish about how this latest generation is terrible and the end of civilised society is just hyperbole from people who seem to have forgotten just how awful kids were in the 60s, 70s, 80s and 90s.

Sorry, but I can't agree with that. None of my friends randomly destroyed stuff as a child, put fireworks in bins or through people's letter boxes, dared to swear at adults or any other of the things that we see these days. I don't know anyone who did, and I lived on a council estate at the time (70s and 80s). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
samssong Posted March 31, 2017 Share Posted March 31, 2017 Why is it not?? Because it is used by people so far up themselves that they can't see their own frailties. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or it's used to describe people who are happy directly affecting other people's lives in a very negative way? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rogets Posted March 31, 2017 Share Posted March 31, 2017 Why are the powers that be not providing things for the kids to do? Maybe organise trips to the seaside, why don't the council organise free trips to Alton Towers? Bored people = anti social behaviour Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe organise trips to the seaside, why don't the council organise free trips to Alton Towers? Bored people = anti social behaviour As I mentioned early in this thread Colley Park no longer has any play equipment in it. When I asked the council about this they said they ripped it out as it was a health and safety risk and could not afford to replace/repair. It was cheaper to rip it out. They said that maybe Gleeson would do something with it. They are the developers who are building houses near there - I'm not sure why they think Gleeson will pay to fix the park as they don't own it. If they don't have money to replace the play equipment then I can't see them organising trips. Also the Early Days Centre near me was shut down due to funding. It used to provide help and support to parents along with playgroups/activities.
