I would rather see kids outside playing than watching Sponge Bob or head down into a DS Game.  Kids on bikes and boards may be annoying, but children in general don't have a since of courtesy or manors, however, vandalism or using a threatening manner is not acceptable. I also have no issues telling the neighborhood kids to stop an activity, clean up there mess, or just plain behave if I see something I don’t like.
@BEVO: AMEN! there are several children in my cul-de-sac that play outside all the time. sure it's annoying when they're screaming their heads off, causing my dogs to bark, and i hate driving around their bikes and scooters...but at least they're outside! i was outside as long as it was light out as a kid. kids now sit in the house all day. it's so strange to me! 4951
