mechohaulic Posted March 17 Share Posted March 17 heard that on news . they were kids too ! how has a society gone so wrong , this is considered fun ? it's only couple towns away from our renting. never locked our doors - now everything is locked even when we are inside. throwing eggs at a car in our day was thought of as fun; can't today 1-eggs cost too much =2- it's vandalism ;; still not burning a 200 K vehicle. 2 Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/25325-connecticut-construction-trucks/page/80/#findComment-548250 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Joey Mack Posted March 17 Popular Post Share Posted March 17 Its sad.. here in Charlotte, the crimes of car theft and vandalism and shootings, really all crimes,, is starting at the age of 12, and many are between 14 and 17 years old.. This is what happens when a man makes a baby but doesnt be a Dad to that baby. 3 Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/25325-connecticut-construction-trucks/page/80/#findComment-548252 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Brocky Posted March 17 Popular Post Share Posted March 17 This all started in the mid 1960's when the child psychologists said the parents should "talk to the kids" not Whup their Butts!!! The part they left out was you had to get their attention first, which usually involved some butt whupping!! NOW 50 years later no one has any respect for authority or them selves.. 3 2 Quote Brocky Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/25325-connecticut-construction-trucks/page/80/#findComment-548263 Share on other sites More sharing options...
