WARNING TO PARENTS

[MelodeonMan]

Was reading in The Weekly News yesterday about a new craze the asian indians are doing to get there ''highs'' getting Scorpions and placing them on their bodies so the insect bites them as it gives a hullucinations for a short while I would have thought rather a daft thing to do far less place in a newspaper, so if your kids ask for a scorpion pet take care, why do people need Highs these days,,,,surely not because they are feeling down with nothing to do,
Must be many in here like me was young when no TVs and big Cinemas, and yet we were never bored ,,, you know I think people have forgotten how to make their own entertainment
I dont blame the kids I blame the parents there parents tried to tell them but our kids never listen so how can their kids know any better, when I was young and had no cash till i was 21 we would play rounders,paldies and kickaba ain many ither childrens street games
go for walks explore the countryside,in day times and nite times play kick door run, and all stand around the lamposts and have guesing games ain we were quite happy, whats happened to happiness ,,,now it cost to much and if they havent got it they steal it, and there highs are abusing there mind with drugs,ma brother used to get his Dancette record player outside on a long extension lead and play Cliff Richard and Beatles and we would all dance at the lampost and it was great fun,who needed scorpions, whats happened to the worlds children

Well, being the antisocial non-maternal type that I am, I think I would quite like to harass some of the local brats with scorpions. Perhaps Black Widows then?

One thing to be glad of is that they don't seem to play at "kick the door and run away" - I think I'd find that less amusing than they would.

Scorpions get a bad press, I say let em bite, and clean up the Gene Pool! Am I serious, what do u think LOL Peace& Light

I blame the parents too, Melodeon Man. They must have realised that their inadequate and negligent parenting would lead directly to scorpion abuse...it was staring them in the face!
