... like the 400 (or so) homeless people doing the same thing?
no, if you read it again, it isn't about them building a stick fort...

but the parents/media would like you to stop there

it gets people emotional and sells news

Well it is an article in the Daily Mail. The old adage of 'consider the source' comes to mind.

None of you pricks know about antisocial. It is a constant struggle to convince the people around me I actually give a f0ck. Come to think of it, I don't think any of them believe my act anymore.

Yeah, abusive language and name calling can be detrimental to credibility!

If they used lumber they would have in real deep sh-t with the permit dept.

Didn't stop me or my friends. We used to make pretty decent forts in the woods with whatever tools and materials we could get our hands on. It was pretty fun.

I'll take that under advisement.


LOL.

Well just stop and think about now. If you come across someone who is super duper nice, how long does it usually take before you feel an almost unstoppable urge to punch them in the face and flee, never to see them again?

I'm telling you, you want to be rid of people, nice is the card to play. ;)

Feel free to substitute 'park' for whatever is relevant (forest, desert) and it can always be traced back to the same crooks.

Yeah, the Daily Mail - the second most-read newspaper in Britain after The Sun - just made up the story, didn't it?

The whole story and all the characters in it are completely fictitious.

Can't have children playing and causing no trouble now can we. Nope- Not in dreary old England.


No you can't have children causing trouble. Why should neighbours have to cope with unruly little d*cks causing trouble outside their homes?

Of course, you and your fellow despicable lefty liberals don't believe in punishing kids. You believe that those poor neighbours should merely cope with troublesome little brats in their neighbourhood and do nothing about it because, as we all know, you liberals are on the side of the criminals, not the victims. They believe that kids should not be punished at all. Lefty liberals believe that no child should be disciplined and should show no respect whatsoever to their elders, their teachers, their parents and their neighbours. They don't believe that kids should not be punished for their wrongdoings. That's why the ASBOs which were given to troublesome little brats who have been done by cops for causing trouble in their neighbourhood are dismissed by ther liberals which have flooded this forum as merely "bureaucracy". To liberals, punishment for wrongdoing is just "bureucracy". That's why corporal punishment was abolished in British schools in 1987. And it's as a result of corporal punishment being abolished, and for modern children not being disciplined by those in authority, all thanks to do-gooding liberals, that children are the troublemaking little scroats they are today, both in school and in the neighbourhood, causing mayhem in the classroom and on the street outside neighbours' houses. Modern children know they are untouchable, so know they can cause trouble all they like.

It's not like the old days when a copper would give an unruly little tyke a clip around the ear and then frogmarch them home where they would be bent over their father's lap and whacked across the bare buttocks with a slipper. Nowadays if a copper slaps a ill-disciplined little scroat and then frogmarched them home, their parents (who were equally undisciplined as children) would sue the copper.

Foolish, foolish children! Do they not know the only good fort is a pillow one! Sticks, along with their nefarious companions stones, break bones.

Thank goodness I live in Canada! When I was a kid, my stick fortress was not encroached upon by nefarious men in uniform. Just a bunch of wasps that decided to build their nest in it.;)

But it isn't about the stick fort...it's dog walkers complaining so perhaps they were harassed but the parents have made it about the stick fort and in one instance when the police said they would come and talk to the parent about it, they refused. Hm, why would they do that?

The dog walkers wanted to use the sticks so they could play "fetch" with their dogs.;)

Although you didn't have to put up with them playing outside your house.

Lemme guess. You shook your cane at them and told them to get off your lawn?;)
