Well last night was one of those nights when you wish there was more time in the show.
We talked about an incident that took place in Sharjha.
Give it a read!
TODAY!
Some said that the bus driver, the school, the families are responsible NOT the man who pulled the bus over.
Others said that this is the start of vigulantiism...
Hmmmm...
Listen to the JAMESCAST for a taste of what people are thinking.
James Piecowye took over Nightline in October 2006 until it was canceled in June 2018. The cast and crew of Nightline decided to keep the show going and this is where James posts the notes.

I think this is another part of the culture.
Where I come from, all the elders are respected. Like in some countries we don't call elders buy First Name (AS John, James etc,.) We always add a relation-ship as a way of respect. Uncle John, Aunt Jane, Grandpa Tim, (Elder) brother Sunil etc,.
So we tolerate those people disciplining us and/or our kids. And as kids we knew that we are to expect the elders (where ever we are) to discipline us. So the kids behave within limits whether the parents are around or not.
Unfortunately, this respect to elders is drying out now with the western influence.
People start talking to elders in first name basis. As discussed last night, even the parents get too possessive about their kids. PPL threaten to kill the ppl that would discipline his or her "Spoiled Brat".
Modern day we are too, obsessed about the kids, there safety, health etc,. Recently I've found a kid who is afraid of putting his feet in the beach, because he never touched sand before. and he was 3or 4 years old. In one of the radio shows it was discussed that Asthma is in the rising because our kids are too clean.
This may be "Unbelievable" to most of the people, but in our country, kids go home using public transport after school. They cross roads, negotiate crowded sidewalks. No one is paranoid about kids getting hit buy a car or bus. There are kids who climb trees fall down and break there legs. No one is suing the tree owner for not having a mattress around the tree or a board saying "Climbing can be dangerous".
Kids are not flowers. They have to face the dangers, get disciplined (even from a mad man for no fault of his, so he will learn world is not fair) and learn how to negotiate this world. When they grow-up, they will know to respect others. They learned to behave not only when there parents are around but also when ever they are in public. As they will know that discipline is not something that they observe only when parents or teachers around.
I think most of the kids’ thease days behave like saints in front of parents and teachers, and go Nuts when they go out. Parents /Teachers cant believe that when they find that, so once some one find that kids are behaving badly, you send them for counselling.
When the new generation grow ups what they have to talk is all about the OLD-GAMES in the PS2. Then again they would not talk about them, because that would offend their own kids
(By that time we would have laws prohibiting how great it to grow up in a free country, where you could go and climb a tree, or you could swim in the near by stream, with no life guards and safty jackets)
So in light of this… I think
What those kids done, is just part of being Kids. And what the gentlemen done for disciplining them is nothing bad. You just have to learn that, those kids would have to get down from the school buses and “Walk On their OWN” one day. So better they it start now
