Same thing happened to my grandparents... People kicking over letterboxes during the night... My grandfather took the peaceful approach and just took his inside at night but the neighbours declared war.
They went and bought themselves a custom reinforced steel letterbox that looks like and ordinary tin one. In the middle of the night they awoke to pained screams... the idiot had kicked it and broken his foot HEHEHE...
Letterbox: 1
Dumbass: Nil

I just hope the postie doesn't get cut. If he does, I hope you pay him full medical expenses plus compensation for loss of earnings, pain, etc. Also hope you pay same for any innocent kids bringing round leaflets who lose a finger. Jeez man, THINK before you go leaving dangerous weapons in places where innocent people are likely to get hurt.

ive said te posty side is ok. There is only 1 person who is allowed to go near my mailbox.. the man on the honda step through. The sign on the mailbox will tell anyone else they are not welcome. Anyone simply lifting the lid wont cut themselves. My 7 yr old runs to the mailbox every day after school so I wouldnt do that. The only person who will hurt themselves are the ones who grap hold of it and try to rip it off. And I dont give a toss about them. I do not have any respect or care for anyone trying to destroy my property. The posty side is not sharp, all edges have been smoothed and all corners removed and rounded off. After I got the postcard i went and rubbed my thumb on it way harder than anyone doing legitimate business will, and it didnt hurt didnt cut.

I lived in semi-bush area, did all the cubby house/tree house, fishing, bike riding, sport type stuff. I remember once my neighbour and i started a fire (i was probably 5/6), we put it out quickly but was grounded for a week and have not done it again.
I think its a complete lack of imagination. I remember if my dad heard me say i was bored he would get cross and tell me to go outside and do something or he will give me something to do. Now i am very resourceful and really enjoy outside stuff.
Many people now days are incapable of amusing themselves without the use of some sort of computer game, TV or some such mindless entertainment (don’t get me wrong they are fun but people need to get out more and have some diversity). Between the ages of 0-20 is when peoples brains develop. When you get to 20 it stops developing, what you got is what you got at 20. It is really really important that in the first 2 years of life that you use as much of your brain as possible, thus you need to use your imagination. So NO picture books just stories without pictures so you imagine stuff, no movies or graphic games, lots and lots of hand eye coordination and getting infants to follow something with their eyes. this will ensure they develop as much of their brain as possible and wont end up like someone who whinges about being bored.
I think it’s healthy, to a degree, to have guilty conscience. Too many people are blasé about bad things they have done. We have a regular mail thief, and it shits me everytime to find open mail on the ground.

Actually, (as a dip ed student) I think it's really important for children to have picture story books. Equally as important to be read to, but the pictures are important too. Can't come up with justification for age 0-2 right now (c'mon, it's late), but I hope you aren't saying no picture books for any age?? Children who are learning to read need the pictures as an aid in their reading, it gives them clues to what the story is about.Grock wrote:It is really really important that in the first 2 years of life that you use as much of your brain as possible, thus you need to use your imagination.

The problem people, is discipline.
There's no way to enforce it any more.
When I was a teenager;
You played up at school, you got "six of the best".
You played up in public, the local sargeant would stick a size 11 up your arse.
No one questioned your father's authority.
The upshot being; if you stepped out of line, you were brought back in. Swiftly - painfully if need be.
You wouldn't try to pat a dog that was barking at you cause you'd get bit. Same principle. If you knew your actions would result in the infliction of pain, you thought twice.
Doesn't happen anymore. The bleeding hearts have stuffed it all up.
Schools & the coppers have their hands tied behind their back. They're doing their level best to nobble the parents rights to discipline their own children.
Then to top it all off, they're making sure the kids know no one can touch them!
So what hope has anyone got?
Then, just to add insult to injury, the same bleeding hearts are on tv, bleeting about wild youth & how parents should pay for the damage their children cause.
The end result being, the first real taste of discipline they get is standing before the court, or they mouth off to the wrong person & the parents get the phone call that they're in hospital..or worse.
All joking aside, with the mouth on my 15 year old son, I'm fully expecting that phone call.

Spook, you got it in one dude. The drama is this, when they get to court, childrens court is a joke. The magistrates are the most liberal of all Courts and kids short of murder get off first time, second time, third time, forth time, etc............

What about people like my Gran. She lives on her own and when she hears things like kids walking up the street smashing letterboxes at 1am, she is petrified that they are going to escalate and break into her home. Plus the fact that she can't afford to replace the letter box when the little s**ts wreck it!!!
If my kids came anywhere close to doing stuff like that, they would be locked in their rooms, writing bloody lines or something.....as well as going to each and every place they vandalised to apologise and paying to replace the letterbox!!!
yup, i'm a harda*s on my kids...our son was an accomplice to puncturing a girls tyre at school....he's 10, the school gave him an internal suspension for one day, I made him write an apology, pay for the tyre, banned him off tv for a week, and all computers/video games for a month. Believe me, he wont be doing anything like that again in a hurry....missing the simpsons for a week is a killer for a 10 year old boy!! lol

I reckon you could pick up some nastee girlz/boyz n do some nastee lovin in the back of it. Maybe its from the grand servo heist of yesterday afternoon... should have filled the getaway car up with fuel while they were there.

I have an 18yr boy and a 21yo girl, both of whom were kept far to busy to get into trouble..........Our theory was if they had plenty to do they couldn't get bored or start hanging around with the wrong people. It worked.........both have excellent jobs and we have never had a problem with either..............and both know that they aren't too old for a clip over the ear if they do get into trouble.

Heh you guys are all so funny. I notice often on internet forums (OK, this is the third time I think, here & at the Samba), that when someone does something wrong which is destructive, there's a great violent backlash. Like someone doin' a hit and run on someone's splitty resulted in people saying that they wanted to take a crankshaft (honest! and a door) to the guy who did it.
Sure it's wrong to do these kind of things, but violent responses drag you down to the level of an American. Eh, I mean, a ... well you get the point.
Having said that, I do agree that there is a problem with discipline these days. Parents, and more generally all of society, seem to think that we should no longer be liable for our own actions and responsibilities (like our kids, for example: "it wasn't fair that she should be expected to be stuck with her kid 24/7" - mscabrio. That kind of thinking seems insane to me).
Something is fundamentally wrong with this refusal to be responsible. Seems like too many people just haven't grown up. Too many freakin' lawyers, or a corrupt/dysfunctional legal system, I don't know... Where's it start?
Take it easy folks!

hey chris i thought you would get a laugh out of this, i got it from one of the blokes at work who always has a rant prepared and its appropriate to the subject too. well here enjoy
Dear Irresponsible Frost-ing Breeders,
I know this may be hard to read, what with your 16 chillruns running about
the Sporting Goods section at K-Mart throwing fish hooks at each other. But
do what you always do, promise them money, candy, and matches to shut up
for five freakin' minutes while Mommy skims this.
You're a Shakespearety mom. You had 16 kids with 18 different fathers, and
you think that little Cletus has ADD. That's not ADD, that's the caffeine
and sugar talking, because you keep bathing him in Coca-Cola for breakfast
after he wakes up on his pillows of supermarket-bought glazed donuts. While
we're on the subject, take a Frost-ing wet-nap to him once in a while, huh?
Back in my day, ADD was not just treatable, it was curable. It involved a
belt, my ass, and ol' Ma Mordi's arm swinging. Look into it.
You make sure to starve them and keep them awake and take them to the Coles
at 5 p.m. They're hungry, tired, cranky, and retarded. This does not a good
shopping experience make, so you're screaming at them for ripping open the
bags of Fun-yuns and laying in the aisle. Of course, you continue to let
them do this, but you screech at them like a howler monkey from your stop
at the Hahn Light / Toohey's Light sale.
I'd love to say that your kids need a good ass whippin' and I'd be right.
But only after I took the belt to you, and whipped you for every ugly,
hateful, mean, thing you've ever said to these kids. Your parenting does
nothing to improve these kid's behavior. You know how they like to run out
in the parking lot like wild animals? Well take a cue from them and start
playing in fast-moving traffic.
Forever Grateful,
....Mords
PS:
While we're at it, know this - You are NOT "a unique and beautiful
snowflake".
And I don't care who you are, what you drive, or where you'd rather be.

We had a similar problem with some fella's a while back who ripped of our letter box twice so we got one made from 5m aluminium and instead of a standard upright post for it I got a solid rod from menzies metals cheap 10 bucks and attached it, my dad then decided to quickset with concrete. He told me he heard a bang late at night not long after we put it in and some swearing looks like it was a fair match for the little sh*

I was a great kid i reckon. Still am, Lol. I was the kind of kid that was classed as a pussy, which was during the late 90s, so not too long ago, about half a decade into the start of the crazy child generation with drugs, sex alcohol and shit music coming into the kids life.
But I haven't been there. Hence why some call me a loser. I'm a 17 yr old virgin who has neva taken a puff of anything, neva been drunk or doped up on anything.
I spent my time doing quite intellegent things when i look back at it. My bro and I would walk down to the storm water creek or into the forest walk creek, use mud to dam a section off, got a bucket, and removed all the water out (after 3 hrs of hard nonstop labour lol) and would scoop up the yabbies and eels stuck in the mud left over. Those were the days, great fun.
Oh, I was a lil' bit of a rebel when i was 4, but a session of 9 consecutive hard spankin's on the ass really did the trick. That changed me around so quickly. What I had done was teared all the story books covers off of the shelve, which was heaps. So yeah, big woopin's = dicipline.
Its not child abuse when it is beneficial for the childs development 😉
I still get spanked too, but thats by the girls on the trains during my school trips, but anyways, so yeah. Not all of use kids are lil' shits, but there are a heap. See em' everywhere, I think its getting to a point where the numbers are FAR to many.
