Leave those kids alone... plus a meme.

So, Barnardos have launched an ad about us vilifying kiddles, using dialogue actually not that shockingly all taken from genuine comments on mainstream online news boards. I'm guessing they got about 70% off BBC's Have Your Say, and the rest from the Heil Online... although I think it's actually very possible to find 10 or so comments on the most innocuous of subjects from HYS to make us all look like a bunch of Sociopathic bastards, because HYS is peopled entirely by hateful, attention seeking cunts. Ad is here, if you want to vada.

I know I whinge about Bloody Kids from time to time, but really, the vast majority of kids and teenagers are fine. I come across far more vile adults, to be honest, and rotten adults don't seem to realise that kids are learning their behaviour off them. Kids do get unnecessarily demonised, it was the same when I was in my mid teens. I have never experienced so much sheer bloody rudeness from perfect strangers as I did when I was 16 through to 18... many of them middle aged or older. People can be really rotten to kids... usually to kids that they've weighed up will probably be too polite to do or say anything back. Bah.

Anyhoo, that over, here's a meme from davidbrider
