The younger generation seem much kinder and accepting than we were, more gentle and less threatening than my generation.
Same when I was younger and stories from when my old man was younger sounds like it was worse.

It doesn’t mean there isn’t a scumbags about or that some people are still causing trouble but to say it’s worse now than ever is madness.

Kids throwing some push bikes around they wouldn’t have done that in the 70s!
