Respect, or rather the lack of it.

Why is that todays "little darlings" feel the need to let everyone know that they were there?
This is on the War Memorial in Oakhill Park. |

All i can say, is DISGUSTING

Re: Respect, or rather the lack of it.
Like l've posted before my Grandpa was killed in France aged 22 in 1944, leaving my Gran carrying his unborn child my Mum. As a family War memorials, as they do to a lot of people, mean a great deal.
For my Mum it's her Dad's grave, and the lack of respect from these morons is mind boggling. |
Re: Respect, or rather the lack of it.
The memorials probably have no meaning to their parents and so the kids have never been taught to respect them. Is it any wonder I am so passionate in my hatred of graffiti? I wish they could be caught and made to clean it up.

Disgraceful. This is where we start to loose any sense of respect for those fallen irrespective of the conflict. We should blame the government “local and Central” for there failure to educate these idiots and thugs. That said we should also be prepared to educate our own children ourselves. At least then we may have some comfort that our own offspring are not carrying out this act of gross indifference.

We know who to blame...the parents and the idiots that sell the spray paint!!

The only flaw in my argument is that the parents would blame the authorities and not themselves or the kid. In my day if a kid was caught doing anything untoward they would have got a clip round the ear from the policeman first and then one from their dad after being marched home. |
Re: Respect, or rather the lack of it.
I respect your views purplelass and I had thought of posting a similar post to yours. But at the end of the day an eye for an eye approach is not the answer here. I’d like to see the little ******s beaten at the steps of those memorials they’ve disrespected, but again that won’t educate someone to the suffering and fear and sacrifice that those people suffered in conflict. I believe the answer is through education in our schools and other intuitions by central and local government. Lets see some pride for these people who give everything.

One of the possible causes for this particular display,is that the history of the second World War is no longer seen as being neccessary knowledge for school age children.
This said we have lots of children in the area who seldom if ever attend school! |
Re: Respect, or rather the lack of it.
If that is so, what has been the point of the national celebrations to remember D-Day last year and the celebrations to commemorate the end of the war this summer? And are our children, in this town, with it's history not being taught about World War I? I can't believe that.

Re: Respect, or rather the lack of it.
people still lay flowers at that memorial i find these kids actions disgusting and there is no one to blame but the individuals themselves
its about time kids like this were held acountable for their own actions , everyone is born with some sense of right and wrong and definatly by teenage life you have a damn good idea between right and wrong i would make tham scrub the graffiti off then paint their face blue and make them walk around for a week wearing graffiti and see how they like it |
