Corporal Punishment?
|
Oh blow it out your ass bozo, you're really living up to your name.
You bitch against racism and then stereotype "young people" as "thugs". Hypocrisy becomes you. Slave to the Patriarchy no more
I went with yes. It definitely should be brought back into the schools and into the homes. When I went to school, the worst thing the kids did was smoking. Corporal punishment was banned and now smoking is a 'good' thing. If only that was all they did. Now schools deal with guns, drugs, violence against the teachers and it is so bad, the schools have to maintain a police force in an attempt to keep things civil. I imagine that it is mostly the younger posters that are against corporal punishment because, they never had the opportunity to observe first hand the effectiveness of corporal punishment.
You make people miserable and there's nothing they can do about it, just like god.

Since when did smoking become a good thing? 2. Your hypothesis of who voted what is based on nothing more than just that, your imagination. I reckon that the people who vote against it do so because there are other alternatives and they see no need for corporal punishment. Not because they are 'young'. Age doesn't really have anything to do with it IMO.  (September 17, 2011 at 8:53 pm)Moros Synackaon Wrote: Oh blow it out your ass bozo, you're really living up to your name. Blow this up yours. This is the new item I referred to. I believe the writer, Tony Parsons, writing in a left-leaning paper The Daily Miror, summed up the riots rather well. Read this and I'll discuss....if you can in a reasonable manner that is....but that will probably be beyond you. http://www.mirror.co.uk/news/top-stories...-23333279/  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?
Sorry bozo but I think the linky has been hijacked??

If you would notice the single quote qualification, I was not suggesting smoking was good, but rather relative to the issues being dealt with today. (September 18, 2011 at 3:53 am)Napoleon Wrote: 2.

Age doesn't really have anything to do with it IMO. Age has everything to do with it. Us 'baby-boomers' were raised in a different world. We had gas wars. 19 cents a gallon. A new mustang was $3000. There was no security at the airports. You could follow family and friends to the gate and see them off. We had corporal punishment. We now see the results of the lack of same. We did not have 'smart phones', texting, video games, etc. We actually had to talk to people and deal with the real world. Everything today has become so impersonal and, combined with the lack of discipline, America is suffering. Neighborhoods today see more tagging in one day than we saw in our day over a period of years. We see the difference. There is a difference.

I was painting a picture of our world. It would really take volumes rather than my couple sentences. I do not really expect a child to understand and appreciate the world us baby-boomers came from, which actually is the point.
