Re: Bring back corporal punishment (for adults) !
While i agree that it's egalitarian, there is the issue that some people have a higher threshold for pain than others. Could we measure this threshold objectively so we could administer an equal amount of 'pain' to the criminals ? Now that would be equal justice !
Re: Bring back corporal punishment (for adults) !
Good point doc, I have a sensitive skin so the amount of lashes I get should obviously always be halved.:laugh4:
Then again, you wouldn't get lashes as long as you're not a criminal, no?
And I'm not sure about lashes for parking, parking in the wrong place is not criminal unless it puts other people in danger(parking in a firebrigade entrance way).
I think we could gevelop a system here and propose that to the EU so they can put that into the EU constitution.:sweatdrop: :laugh4:

EU constitution? Never heard of it... Or did you mean the magnificent amending treaty you wont be allowed to vote on, since it's not a constitution and you'll have to trust Blair to do what's best for you?
Re: Bring back corporal punishment (for adults) !
There was a constitution before and I wasn't allowed to vote on it, I don't know what I have to do with Blair though, since I'm not british, as the big flag in my signature indicates.:laugh4:
Now since they'll push that amending treaty through anyway and noone can vote on it, it would obviously be best to have that corporal punishment included somehow to make sure the evil guys cannot vote against it. See? This is good news, not bad news.:2thumbsup:
I propose that for every lie made in the voting period a politician gets 200 lashes at the end of every term.:sweatdrop: :clown:

I've been meaning to bring the topic of 'enhanced interviewing techniques' during interviews with politicians. Can i count on your support again ?
Re: Bring back corporal punishment (for adults) !
Why not have a politician's head roll instead while you are at it?
