Comments on: Daily Mirror And Moves To Ban Alcohol For Under 21s http://www.anorak.co.uk/184965/tabloids/daily-mirror-and-moves-to-ban-alcohol-for-under-21s.html Tabloid news for broadsheet readers Fri, 27 Nov 2009 08:57:57 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.7.1 hourly 1 By: dairy http://www.anorak.co.uk/184965/tabloids/daily-mirror-and-moves-to-ban-alcohol-for-under-21s.html/comment-page-1#comment-329047 dairy Tue, 17 Jun 2008 14:45:38 +0000 http://www.anorak.co.uk/tabloids/184965.html#comment-329047 sorry Noseycow, I think self discipline and self respect probably do have something to do with it, but I was actually referring to parental discipline and respect for other people and their property. discipline and respect taught in school produce (in general) people who are disciplined and respect others - unfortunately these days, this is not present and we (and the kids themselves) are now reaping the result. sorry Noseycow, I think self discipline and self respect probably do have something to do with it, but I was actually referring to parental discipline and respect for other people and their property.

I think it is the lack of SELF discipline and SELF respect that is the problem. :cry: Dairy

Here here Thats exactly what they are interested in, and are (have been) currently scewing up our school, our health service , our tax system, our transport system, our youth etc for the 'headlines' produced. Do you know that Youth Clubs have to have learning outcomes for each session? Do you know that ANY preschool child in childcare has to have suitable activities planned in line with the national ciriculum along with their learning objectives. So we regiment our kids from birth and then wonder why they go a bit mad when as teenagers they get their first taste of freedom. Mic

I can't believe that there is a booze outlet in the UK that doesn't know that they have to ask for ID as things stand. So how the hell is this bit of nonsense supposed to solve the problem? Methinks the clueless twats in Westminster are more interested in short-term press acclaim than long-term solutions. Nothing new there then! They drink underage now; they’ll drink underage if this comes into force.

How many teenagers get admitted to hospital each year as a result of these? If you think raising the legal age will stop teenagers from getting P****d then you probably live in cloud cuckoo land. ;) Albert H

They wake up in the morning and that's the best they're going to feel all day. [Dean Martin] Besides, I think Old mr Anorak is a bit drunk too [or is it the Mirror]: “SHOULD it be illegal for under-12s to buy booze?” asks the Mirror. "The Mirror says the Scottish government is set to announce a ban on under 21s buying alcohol in shops." On a more serious note now. Don't they know the things that are forbidden are the best to get? Look at Adam and Eve and where that's got us? I feel sorry for people who don’t drink. They wake up in the morning and that’s the best they’re going to feel all day. [Dean Martin]
