Just looking at the size of this thread gives me an idea as to the extent of the problem. And i am now happy to report that i have received flashing red rings on my 360, this after just under 1 month a complete joke. Oh what joy to be part of an exclusive club.

Strange as well as it has started working again. But its under warranty so i will return it and replace the console but if i have any problems with the replacement then i will go out and buy a ps3 sorry microsoft but falcon or no falcon jasper or whatever stupid design they come up with your console still has issues. Wonderful console that it is its a shame that the damn thing doesnt work and sounds like a jumbo jet.

Oh and another thing whilst the 360 was on a strange clanging loud noise was emanating from inside it. I then put my hand on the 360 and it stopped wtf healing hands maybe. A brand new console making clanging noises and breaking within a few weeks not good.

[QUOTE="horgen123"][QUOTE="skinnypete91"]I think the mosquito thing is a good idea, and people who disagree with it are being a bit silly... saying this device "isnt fair" is stupid, the people (generally teens) vandalising the area arent being fair either.skinnypete91

The people who were saying it is not fair were referring to the feeling of discomfort caused by the device. I think they are wrong by saying this, because the culprits are intimidating and scaring locals.

Obviously they should avoid targeting innocent youths but that is not always possible, police do the same thing. I have been told to move away from an area because other people of a similar age to me are misbehaving, even though I am not actually with those people.

But that is the problem with the mosquito it cant target certain individuals, besides a 34 year old has said he can hear it. People will find a way around it or just ignore it altogether.

when part of a group is bad to you, you must punish the entire group. not exactly good logic.

Well if you dont want to be targeted as a troublemaker, then dont hang around with people making trouble? That is good logic...

Sometimes its not that easy, you can have peer pressure where some people are forced in to being part of a group. Like a lot of gangs for example.

I personally wouldn't call it good sense, more a massive infringement on civil liberties. It doesn't make us any safer it just makes it easier fot the government to hand out ASBOs which don't really do anything, besides rewarding yob culture with a badge of honor.braindead_hero

Yes again you are right, where my brother works they call him ASBO as a nickname and he has never done anything:lol: the whole thing the govt has introduced is now seen as a joke.

Yeah, I believe we are officially the single most watched and monitored country in the world. Not sure if its true but doesn't seem that far off. We apparently are watched more than people living under a dictatorship. Oh well especially with ID cards being inroduced I'm just glad that the government are so god at keeping all our personal details safe and never lose 8million bank details on a child benefit disc with no encryption just a password.

Apparently their are more cctv cameras in Britain than in the rest of Europe put together, dont know if this is true for a fact. But it shows the paranoia in this country.

I don't think its paranoia, I think its just good sense.

Yes it does make good sense i guess, a lot of troublemakers get caught on CCTV, it never ceases to amaze me when you see idiots holding up a store little knowing they are being viewed on camera. And they dont even bother to cover their faces.

Actually I feel like I should clarify about the mosquito device. It was brought in a few years ago by private shop owners to disperse crowds of youths, the government is now under pressure to ban it. Anyway the yob culture over here is pretty bad its just not a good idea to go out on a friday or saturday night as youll probably get stabbed and for some weird reason firemen are now getting attacked which is just plain ridiculous.braindead_hero

Yes you are right, i have met a lot of good and bad people and i was no angel myself once. But i never did the sort of crazy things some youths are doing now its crazy.

The british govt has introduced a mosquito device in towns and nears shopping malls:lol:Basically they emit a high pitched frequency sound that only youths (teens) can hear. Apparently this is to disperse them if they are in a group and stop them causing trouble. Any thoughts on this, personally i feel that youths in britain are starting to feel victimised.

Do you have a similar problem in your country, because in britain their is a big debate going on about yob culture and how to deal with it.
