Someone else mentioned the shootings in schools. Yes, that's a terrible thing but we are picking on isolated incidents here. I am talking about the general attitude of the yob element in Europe. And the word "yob" also embraces people who are a lot older than teenagers. Here, we do not have that "If you have a nice car and I don't, I'm going to scratch the side of it with a coin" attitude. We don't have the mindless smashing up of bus shelters and telephone kiosks. That is what I'm getting at. The mindless acts of violence and willful damage that seem to have no logical reasoning behind them. There is little or no swearing or violence at sporting stadia. Of course there are always exceptions to every rule. I am talking about GENERAL ATTITUDES.
