    :facepalm: I wouldn't even think of saying any of what they were saying to anything, let alone another human being, that did NOTHING to them. Kids have changed a lot from when I was their age I that video, I'm I'm not even that old, I really don't know what to think of the new generation of kids, it scares me that they have absolutely no respect.

    I agree

    I always treat the elderly as I would want someone to treat my Grandparents

    When I was in school my bus driver would have stopped the bus and told us to walk had any of the students done that.

    The school can actually refuse those students the right to ride public transportation as well.

    probably because of the way (or lack therof) their parent(s) have raised them...

    ...when i was in public skrool many moons ago, there we some groups of unruly kids who would do stuff like this... so, i don't know if this is a "new phenomena", ...but probably it's more visible today because of the proliferation of miniature photo/video devices/phones, etc... BTW, most all of the troublemakers/bullies from my time in skrool were from single-parent homes...

    Everything boils down to a CHOICE!


    They "chose" to fuckin act like that and I don't give 2 shits about the family issues! No fucking excuse to ever treat anyone like that!!! Everyday, we have a choice to make the day what we want it to be....i'm sure as fuck glad I choose to NOT do anything like this!!!

    What's happened to the American family (certainly not to exclude our Canadian brethren here) is appalling. The slow degeneration caused by the growth of single-parent households leading in large part to the absence of strong, present fathers; our schools failing to discipline children for fear of the escalated and frequent threat of legal action--"I'll sue you!"; and our nation's expanded acceptance of immoral behavior, and it's ultimate failure to hold all people to a high standard of behavior in our shared civilized society.

    Disagree with me if you will, but I also believe three contributing factors exist (at a minimum): First, the ease of access and use of the internet, which has led children today to communicate far differently than we did growing up; meaning, it's easy to be a tough guy when you can act anonymously without fear of accountability or physical reprisal. Not too mention instant access to topics, subject-matter, and media none of us in our youth would have ever thought existed. Second, the lack of discipline at all levels of a child's development. From the home, to the schoolroom, to the streets, children are not disciplined either by corporal-style punishment and/or other rigid methods. And third--and some may have a problem with this but I believe many of you will agree--the absolute condemnation and excoriation of religion and the moral values it brings to bear... which has led to the complete removal or even recognition of these morals within our educational systems. In fact, as many of you know just be reading the news, many of our schools have a habit of punishing even the slightest demonstration or promotion of religion (such as wearing a cross or t-shirt with a religious saying).

    It sickens me what I saw in this video, and it's all so damn commonplace nowadays. We are raising (as a society) punks, crybabies, whiners, gluttons, and spoiled brats. Many children have absolutely no sense of right or wrong, no respect and compassion, and haven't a clue about duty and citizenship. We are losing our future... and it's a very sad, sad thing to witness.

    How do we turn this horribly negative trend around? Because we are fast approaching the cliff my friends.

    well said, though i wouldn't put so much blame on the internet.... but you hit the nail on the head w/ the denigration of morality/values, religion, the "litigious" nature of, ...and one more thing that i'd add: the diminishment in a parent's ability to discipline and raise their children due to restrictive child protection laws...

    I'll agree... very true. But to clarify, it's not the internet I blame, it's a child's ease of unsupervised access to it I have a problem with. Thanks!

    They should send all 12-15 year olds to military academy to get their shit straight.
    Let these kids keep acting like that...one day it'll be the wrong motherfucker around and the outcome of that video will be different.

    According to an article it seems the driver was truly, completely unaware of the situation and had apologized to her personally for the lack of.

    Understandable, I don't know why I didn't think about it, but kids can be loud on buses and the bus driver may not have been able to hear the things the kids were saying.

    My dad can't hear the kids sometimes, but then again he is half deaf.

    This is why I don't want to have kids. America is so fucked up now when it comes to raising children, and little duechebags like this can do this all day. As soon as you so much as lay a finger on them you are doomed for an ass raping in prison. Yet they can get away with this shit, and get a slap on the wrist. I would have gotten off the bus at his house and asked the kid with the phone to show his father. Then tell them if they didn't beat the shit out of them in front of me, and make him wear a dress to school the next day, I would press charges to the fullest extent of the law.
