Fort Apache, The College

My daughter leaves school this year and is planning to go into further education. I suggested she look at the college I went to because it was pretty good when I went there.
She went to take a look this week, and I couldn't believe what she told me about the place. It now has security guards and metal detectors because they have problems with violence, and students carrying knives.
What the hell is happening to this country? What's gone wrong when even colleges have to have prison-like security measures? Has our society broken down that much?
And what's wrong with kids today anyway? When I was young you had a fight, and you'd beat the crap out of each other, but only with fists and feet. Back then the opinion was that only poofs and cowards used weapons of any kind. It implied that they weren't hard enough to fight without them. So is that it? Are our youth turning into poofs and cowards, using weapons and attacking people mob-handed?
And whatever happened to honour among combatants? The rule used to be that when someone's down and doesn't look like they're going to get up then that's it; fight over; you don't hit someone when they're down that way. Nowadays, they just keep going, stamping on their head, kicking and punching them, even if they're unconscious. It's like beating someone up isn't good enough anymore; now you have to leave them crippled, brain-damaged or even dead. Why? Are our youth today so unsure of themselves? Are they so insecure about who they are?
How did it get to this point where it's even dangerous to go to college? These people who go there with knives, and who act violently towards other students - why do they go there? It's not compulsory. Why don't they just stay at home, in their rooms, within four walls? It will prepare them for their future in prison, and it will allow normal kids to get an education, so everybody wins.
And what's the point of asbos? These thugs see them as a badge of honour; a reward for their violent ways. It's like rewarding a dog for chewing your shoe. They should make them more embarrassing for the thugs so that they're more of a punishment. As the comedian Frankie Boyle said, they should call them Gaybos or something. Then, if they still don't change their ways, they should be forced to have a tattoo on their forehead saying, "I like it up the arse." That'll teach them.
Little shits.
