I have not ( yet ) voted on this issue, because I have always been against the idea of corporal punishment because it was always open to abuse by sadistic or sexually perverted teachers, priests, nuns and the like.
However, the UK has just witnessed the worst rioting for a very long time and I am sickened by what happened, with gangs of young thugs smashing up businesses, in their own communities and showing no remorse whatsoever.
Buildings and businesses have been destroyed and even worse, SO HAVE LIVES of those standing up to the rioters.
As far as I am concerned, moreover, there was no politics involved in these riots. It was criminality on a big scale.
The best article I read about the riots came to the conclusion that the UK has produced a generation " good for nothing yet afraid of nothing ".
I say that not all, but many of this generation fit that bill, particularly the not being afraid . This may well be as a result of corporal punishment having been abolished in schools and at home.
I would probably now not holler in anger if it was restored ( as part of a bigger strategy to bring some respect back onto the agenda ).
I'm not voting so here just yet though...I'll study the thread.

A man is born to a virgin mother, lives, dies, comes alive again and then disappears into the clouds to become his Dad. How likely is that?
