Baby bonus will definitly make these and many other issues worse down the track. Kids can't raise kids and lowlifes usually breed more lowlifes. If people want kids than they should pay for them, i don't know one single person who has spent that money on their babies and not on themselves and that includes hard working people.

It might even give them a better personality!

OHH KAY time for me to weigh in after an absence, guy I know whom is GEN Y decided to do a "skilled drivers course" to lower his insurance premium substantially anyhow the course he did was full of people that have been forced to do it due to some driver discretions, as the cars are "driven around" they are given a very basic safety assessment stuff like are the tyres and brakes good and does the car have seatbelts and registration is a given in the group of 8 cars three of them failed this most basic of test and some shocking things were discovered inside the ones that passed - one car had a fullsize razor sharp samurai type sword wedged between the drivers seat and the console and its reason for being there was "nobody screws with me mate" another car had in place of a front passenger seat a cigarette lighter socket powered esky full of alcohol! so of the 8 cars that makes a count of three failed due to being unsafe and two that were eye brow raising, he continued to tell me what happened when these people that owned these cars began to drive around and were exposed to deliberate obstacles like pedestrians walking out from a blind corner and stuff several of them hit the pedestrian foam cutout, two didnt even realise they had hit it and one called the foam cutout a "effing eff stick" because he walked on the road without looking, the whole story is far too long to post here fully but suffice to say he wrote on his "feedback form" under "what did you learn from this course" was "I learnt that the licencing system is grossly inadequate and I now have a better understanding of the type of person I share the roads with"

As humans (and I use the word loosely in regards to this guy) I think we're simply creatures that adapt to whatever environment we're living in.
The reason he keeps doing these things is because he gets away with it!
I can already hear the judge waffling on about how being young, his chances for rehabilitation are good. About the fact that he has to be free for the sake of his children (even though their interests would best be served in my opinion by getting them away from such a dropkick). And let's not forget about the hard life he's had to endure so far because he's disadvantaged, and underprivileged, and his mommy and daddy didn't love him enough(boo hoo, breaks my freaking heart)

More of one of these items listed above would help... can you guess which one?
I'll give you a hint, the ones writen on paper dont do jack.

Matey, agree with everything ...
Do be a bit philosophical, could we put some blame on the parents?

eg: has he turned out in their image?

I'd blame the parents as much as him also.

I dont think I could help myself, pedal to the metal. 50 pts bonus if it hits the boot on the way down.

I was joking mate. The temptation would be there though, its a foam cutout. However, if I was there to be tested, Id obviously try not to.

Tail-gating a copper and crazy drivers reminds me of a situation I was in a few years ago. I driving down an out of town highway a few years ago and the roads were wet. Cruising along at a 100kph I noticed a car getting awfully big very quickly in my rear view mirror. The guy flying up behind me swung his car into the other lane to overtake me and lost control and went past me sideways. Trouble is he didn't notice that I was cruising along behind a cop car. He smashed side on into the back of the cop car and totalled the cop car and still had enough momentum to crash into one of those massive green distance signs (the ones that say Sydney 960km) and flip it end on end...and even after that he managed to go skidding back across the highway and smash front end into a ditch. It was a no brainer who to help first so I went and helped the copper get out of his wrecked cop car.
But like many have said already...just goes to show who's on the road with you....now if that was a family car with a few kiddie seats in the back instead of a cop car?? Would have been a worse result I reckon.

74 XB when your avatar stops distracting me I might read your post

btw, I think she needs a new set of shocks

edit: forgot to mention, whichever post it was, imho parents are not always to blame. If a kid is seriously rebellious or has other issues, perfect parenting won't help them. There comes a time when the kid / teenager / adult must be held responsible in their own right.

Too right. Even if the parents are woeful, there comes a time when an individual must take responsibility for themselves, and their actions. They ought to know right and wrong regardless of parenting. To me, it stops being an excuse at 17 or thereabouts.

My folks and extended family taught me, if they didnt, there was school, friends families, and thousands of other interactions over the years. So many other places to learn right and wrong. They just dont want to learn it if they havent by that age.

I can recall back to my school days (still!) when someone decided to drag race a car at a set of traffic lights while on his Ps.....
The detectives were not impressed to say the least when they pulled him over...

Yes absolutely , maybe should have classified that point .

Just the update from todays paper, "sobbed in the dock of the Heidelberg Magistrates Court", "pleaded guilty to failing to attend court" amongst other things, and my personal favorite "was freed on bail"

Agreed a license to breed should be adopted. I require a license to perform my trade at work, to drive to work and even to go fishing. Having children is about the only thing you can do without being regulated.

If said idiot has a child without a license, child should be divided into body parts to be sold to the highest bidder.

Instead our system rewards anyone who can bring another deadshit into this world. Agreed idiots breed more idiots.

So, you'd take it out on the kid? Wow, pot, meet kettle.

I know haha, so was Craig but they made him out to look like a douche (OK he looks like that naturally, but he is a good kid).

Its funny. The data they use, the science of brain activity is probably spot on, it fits my recolection of growing up anyway. But the idea that a 17 yr old would take hitting a foam cutout seriously is a result of a flawed segment design, call it a sketch rather than a news article.

[XRtowcar]

Watch out if your driving in the Northern suburbs of Melbourne over the weekend if he's out there.
Unfortunately a better licensing system wont work, this guy didn't have one.
Jail term wont work, just turn him into a professional crim.
Prior neglect over court appearences, no moral conscience.
Maybe a psychiatric appraisal and community service helping road accident victims might inspire him.
