Because you and I are not doing anything to stop them!!\nALL OF THE "LITTLE" people have to get together.\nIf we were to get together and email, write, call, talk to, every single person in government they would HAVE to listen.\nThe problem is people only complain...They do nothing.\nThey think they are too busy in their lives....If we don't wake up soon it WILL BE TOO LATE...The rich will get richer and the rest of us will be doing all of their work for NOTHING....\nProperty tax is a good example....After paying off your house...if you happen to be that lucky...you STILL HAVE TO KEEP PAYING...in the form of property taxes. This is unfair and unconstitutional....Once a person pays off their mortgage and OWNS their OWN house they should be able to KNOW they can live their for the rest of their lives without paying a dime.\nThat is just one tiny example of what is being done to us all...\nAnyone who wants to stop this email me.....The first thing we all must do is band together....I will start!....ceasefear@yahoo.com\n\nGood question....Keep asking the good ones...Maybe someday the people will awaken....

It's because society is sometimes very selfish and inconsiderate of their neighbors. People should learn how to respond to others with respect and fairness.

Because they were brought up by people who did not teach them any different.  I find that there is a tremendous amount of disrespect in the form of littering.  I teach kids to "Leave People and Places better than you found them."  Obviously these folks think their actions have no 'real' consequences or someone else will pick it up.

kids will be kids.\n\nSome people get a thrill out of making life miserable for other people.  It's a power thing.  Just like you wanting to "strike back".\n\nDon't contribute to the problem.  Instead, spend your energy on getting something to prevent you from being booted.

I'm with ya.  Forcing them out of certain areas DOES NOT stop the problem!  It creates a bigger problem for the offender, which puts them under stress, which makes them more likely to re-offend.  Also, proximity to a school or playground or whatever will not stop someone who truly wants to commit an offense.  Instead of creating these ridiculous laws...how about we try to help the person not to re-offend?  Contrary to popular belief, sex offenders can be treated and can change.  Not all of them, of course, but many of them.  Yes, what they did is horrific, and they deserve to be punished for the offense.  But making their lives miserable (and the lives of their families) doesn't do anything but create a bigger problem.

There is a lot of dangerous behaviors that are not illegal. What should be done is discourage people from starting in the first place.

I'd continue to politely request that the parents control their children, padlock the gate, post no trespassing signs and finally alert the police.  If you are absent during these trespasses, hopefully you can enlist your other neighbor to make the call.  At the very least they should send a patrol car.  Your privacy is being violated and it is an issue you have every right to stand up for and expect no retaliation.  I would also suggest to the parents that your property may have hazards on it and you would be stricken should a child be injured on it.  BE careful not to sound threatening, but more like an ocd individual.

They probably don't want you to leave them.

Luckily I'm not home that time of night.. however I have been known to mow my grass 7am on a Saturday morning.. that probably pisses off the nighbors who are trying to sleep in.\nI think it is a lack of proper parenting now adays that lets the idiots with the loud music run thru residential areas with their music so loud that it rattles everyones windows... I keep threatning to sit out on my porch and take pot shots at them.

I've traveled from one end of this country to the other and I've seen it everywhere. I think it comes from the "all about me" garbage kids are taught in school. They simply don't care about anyone but themselves and they figure since it's NOT LEGAL to hit them you won't. They just do what ever they want.

Well in case you don't know you can go to your states department of public safety and see all the sex offenders. Usually they have to tell their neighbors when they move in that they are, and usually if the parents are smart they will tell the kids to stay away from there. Many of them get out on parole and have to join the general population, so check it out and make sure your kids or you don't go over to there house.

Calling the police will get the kids to stay out of the street.  By making the call, the police will stop and talk to them, and tell them to stay out of the street.  Usally an encounter with police will make a kid really think next time before doing that again.

Go to your neighbors houses and ask if they would like their lawns cut. Most people would jump at the chance of not having to do this. Try doing a paper route they hire people younger then you for this. Talk to people you know that have pets and see if they would like someone to walk there dog. You can even make fliers to hang in laundry mats or at store boards to advertise lawn mowing and dog walking. These are things you do not need a under age work permit to do.

Basically they are terrified of riding on the road, and the risk (slight) of being booked is far less than the risk (high) of being hit by a vehicle.\n\nMost of us use risk management in our lives so maybe we shouldn't get so mad when somebody by doing that pisses us off.\n\nAlso, and without proof, but I wouldn't mind betting, a lot of parents say to their children"Yes you can go out on your bike. . but STAY OFF THE ROAD"
