neil cooney 10,415 Posted February 21, 2016 Report Share Posted February 21, 2016 Kids nowadays have had an adrenaline rush if they got to level 5 on Grand Theft Auto.But is it there fault? as I say in my post above kids now don't have the freedom we did ..if kids tried to build a den or tree house or a rope swing now you can guarantee there would be some clipboard Nazi hell bent on health and safety saying they can't. ..it's easy to say kids of today blah blah blah but it's our generation that have taken away there freedom. You're right Kanny. The kids of today who are not computer inclined or their parents can't afford one are often the kids who end up releasing their energy on the streets. The same kids if they had the freedom we had might often go down a different route in life. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I don't think I'd want to give my daughter the freedom I had.We were right little c**ts.Yes we had great fun but how none of us ended up dead or maimed I'll never know. 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
