Christ on a bike, these people make me sick. Did she have her obligatory

uniform on?

The suicides in Wales are maybe more down the general hopelessness with no 

real jobs to be had in the former mining town and surrounds ... the more 

widespread issue of "feral youths" is probably due to lack of

influence of 

positive (male) role models and respect for authority ... funny how many of 

us identified with that last bit as we went through our our teens but it 

didn't necessarily materialise into mindless violence against fellow 

citizens, did it ? ... it was more a hatred or distrust of organisations or 

rules but we did generally respect our elders, didn't we ?  Yeah, EMO, just



don't get it myself ... never was a punk, never was a goth ... narrow jeans



& t-shirts, bomber jacket & spikyish hair, but not cartoon punk ... I

just 

liked a multitude of bands ... I remember getting slagged off by a girl on 

the top deck of a bus when aged 15 cos I'd just bought Feeding Of The 5,000



by Crass ... "but you're not a punk" she cried ... I tried to

reason with 

her but failed miserably ...

That was a nice post you wrote...



  Hm, "feral" is a strong term, but then, i don't live over there

so I'll 

take your word on it.

Over here in the U.S. "da' youts" are, to put it mildly, pretty

tame (except 

in the harsher minority neighborhoods and trailer [caravan?] parks).

  Seen the pitiful displays that pass for punk lately? They should spell it, 

"punc," with a C. It's cuter that way, and more fitting.

Emo is a strongly recurring attitude/theme/behavior. Sad.



[There is a vid on CNN called "South Wales On Suicide Watch".

Not sure if anyone's seen it (i couldn't; for some reason my firewall

didn't let that particular vid play)]

They now refer to it as "feral youth" over here ... a product of a

broken 

and sick society ... devoid of any compassion, values or understanding for 

anyone else - every week there appears to be another story of a family man 

who interrupts a gang of mindless idiots causing some minor trouble on the 

street, then struck down in front of their own children and left to die ... 

it's like an epidemic ... nothing like the petty youth cult squabbles of

the 

past ... and then there's the bizarre case of Bridgend in Wales ... another



teenage suicide ... some 17 in the past year ... quote in the paper today 

from a 16 year old "these people are just bored of their lives, man. Kids 

here have been drinking, smoking dope, taking ecstasy, having sex since they 

were 13 or 14, so by the time they reach my age, they've done everything

and 

they are bored shitless".



What sort of monster has been created ?  There's a fucking world out there 

to explore and experience, the joys of seeing your own family growing up ... 

it's like a section of society has been left behind ... I bet they've

all 

got their multi-channel TV, mobile phones & XBOX/DS/wii etc etc ... and why



do kids aspire to all this irrelevant gangsta shite ... I think more 

grannies should go out wearing hoodies plus it keeps em warm in winter ... 

the hoodie craze would die down fairly quickly ... look, you don't live in 

the ghetto, you live in Milton Keynes & you hang around the shopping centre



... it is not the same thing ... c'mon Jon please give us your verdict on 

this problem ...

The States and Britain are now dealing with Thatcher's and Reagan's

It's the toffs in "average middle class" working guy's

clothing (a la David 

Cameron) I object to ... Old Etonians, born to rule ... then again, even 

under a Labour government that I craved for, the divide between rich and 

poor seems to have got ever wider ... despite the many positive aspects of a 

centre-left government, there still seems to be an illusion of democracy 

(what with dodgy dossiers and pandering to big business) ... no wonder many 

of the young-un's couldn't give a shit ... and even if they do, they

are 

probably materialistic and self-centred, so likely to vote for someone 

dangling the same old carrots such as tax cuts ... what sort of career 

prospects do many have ... a fast-food serving career path or drugs and 

petty crime ... so, sorry, going off tangent a bit, middle class ? What am I 

? Well, for all my centre left leanings, our family was probably lower 

middle class ... my parents never went down the pub and didn't go to bingo 

!!! Relatively poor compared with the working class family who lived next 

door, who seemed to possess all the mod cons ... I don't think class really



is an issue for folks anymore, the lines are so blurred, most people are 

somewhere in the middle ...

  So, what is middle-class, according to Europeans and U.K.eans?

I live in the United States and here "everybone is

'middle-class'."**





... ... ... ... ... ...

As the masters rot on walls

And the angels eat their grapes

I watched picasso

visit the planet of the apes
