   Spot on ! If teenagers cannot or will not get a job and insist on being troublesome at the least it will instill some respect for others, bring back national Service

   Kerry - In today's society, it would clearly be unacceptable to have a National Service system that applied only to boys. As you are not getting any replies, here is a repost of my comments on July 16th.
   "The general assumption seems to be that National Service would only apply to boys! Presumably in our "gender neutral" age, any National Service, whether military or community based, would apply equally to girls. There is no justification today for the sexist National Service which still exists in some EU countries (why isn't it banned?) where boys have to give up a couple of years of their life but girls don't. To make matters worse, in some countries girls are offered the option to do National Service (following complaints that excluding them was sexist!) but it is not obligatory. National Service should be covered by the same anti sexist laws as everything else."

   I am in partial aggreement with MAT from LonDon , but you cant put all the blame onto parents MAT, iff i think its time to smack my childs aris in order to instill discaplin into him i will be castigated by (society)
   and probably go to prison. No mate,i am speaking from expearience
   i had to do my national service in 1948 and it did us ALL the world of good ., DO YOU REALISE ? That when you hear people talking about our brave boys who are in IRAQ , and how dangerous it is out there
   that there are more deaths through stabings and shooting on the streets of Britain than there are in IRAQ, its time to stop pussyfooting around get a regimental sargentmajor in thier face and teach them some manners
