why has this instantly turned into the fact that all youths are disrespectful and "vandals."
No that's not actually what I said. What I said was "
I think it's very sad that this seems to reflect the attitude of a lot of young people in this country today." and I stand by that.
unfortunately, some people.. and this has nothing to do with age, think its a nice idea to go and wreck the place.
If you read the numerous reports of this and similar instances it appears overwhelmingly that the age group involved is late teens to early twenties. That is not supposition, it is fact, so yes, this sort of behaviour does seem to be very much age-related.
and why is the truth sad?
Well I find it very sad that there seems to be an acceptance that anyone who says they are having a party can reasonably expect gatecrashers to arrive and trash the place. Don't you think that's a sorry state of affairs? Or do you think that's OK?
Again, you're practically saying young people have no respect or dignity, but theres no real evidence to say who actually caused the damage. Yes, there are a certain number of youths who like to gatecrash and ruin parties, but thats also seen in an older generation also.
Again, I am not saying that at all. See my above two points.
The point of the matter is, if she'd have only told the people that she wanted to come, people she knew and people she knew wouldn't be so disrespectful to her home, then this wouldn't have happened. But she advertised it, and practically invited whoever. Yes, the vandals were incredibly disrespectful, but the main reason they knew about the party was because she spread the word about it, therefore I have no pitty for her being so stupid. Especially since she called her mother a bitch for basically inviting the wreckage to her home.
I agree the girl was naive, stupid even... but that's not a crime. Vandalism is.
therefore I have no pitty for her being so stupid
When you're older and own your own home, I really hope you never in a moment of absent-mindedness forget to close a small window or forget to turn the alarm on, and then come home to find that your house has been burgled and/or trashed. Because of course no-one will have any sympathy for your plight, they will say "oh he didn't set the alarm, he was stupid, it's his own fault". I hope, if/when you have teenage children and you allow one of them to hold a birthday party that they won't be stupid enough to tell everyone about the party they're throwing - I would hate to think the same thing might happen to your house as happened to this girl's house. But if that should happen I'm sure you will accept it when people shrug and say "oh well, he was stupid, it's his own fault"
Its just sad that people like yourself jump on the band waggon and assosiate people like those vandal's with the whole of the youth of the country, because the majority of us actually do have respect.
Since when did "a lot of young people" mean "the whole of the youth of the country"? I'm not jumping on any bandwagon, I am merely stating an opinion from the perspective of a generation who find it extremely hard to accept this sort of mindless vandalism as the norm. I am well aware that not all young people act in this way and if you are one of those who has respect for other people and their property I'm extremely glad to hear it. I do however find it odd that you appear to defend those who are not such pillars of respectability as you obviously are.
