Anyway, check the link(post 133) on corporal punishment around the world. Looks to me America is a day at the park concerning corporal punishment.

Im not sure what I just watched :haha:

So should America should be more like places like Afghanistan Zimbabwe Singapore Thailand Iran and Saudi Arabia as they really go to town when it comes to beating people?

That was not the reason for posting the link. It would seem the world continues to use CP and CP is diminishing in America. What are the implications? To answer your question though, no, America should not be more like these places depicted but some feel public caning/hangings etc might be good.

So much for the plan then.

AVG, Im not sure I get what you try to say. My "Plan" had nothing to do with you/your video?
It was just related to August, so I really dont understand your point.
Feel free to enlighten me though.

I'm just messing with you. :03:

And you succeeded... :nope:

Yes but the claims made were that American were not allowed to use corporal punishment and that was the reason for the problems.
That arguement some put forward is clearly false.

I know, as it isn't a sensible prospect so I didn't expect you to actually hold those views, I think those people who do hold those views are insane.

Well, let's look at this from the perspective of those countries actively using CP. Do we see crimes similar to what was seen last Friday at a school in these countries the employs the use of CP? Is CP a deterrent in these countries? Eye for an eye sort of thing?

As for CP being the sole reason these crimes are committed in America I do not believe anyone was pinning it all on CP. There are many factors that precipitate these crimes. But the mentally ill, can they associate CP to something they did wrong? I'm not sure. Can a kid on the level comprehend why CP was used and what might happen if he does it again? More than likely. (I'm not talking about those parents who have some sadistic joy in beating a kid). Whatever the case, parenting plays a large part in kids young impressionable lives.

What you are looking at is a selection of police states, crazy dictatorships and loony theocracies.
Do you think any of them can make a valid model for comparison?
If CP is a deterrerent why does Saudi still whip so many people for the same old offences?

Yes, but for some reason it never changes and some how what Americans are doing is wrong.

Possibly. We are talking about behavior. Not governments. I understand governments make the laws and consequences but this is about behavior modification.

I think it has become a sport and mob mentality when it takes place. It's their football. I think those that attend enjoy this activity. Why else would they attend? Sure, some seek justice. Some seek to see.

Except you were wrong like your countrymen usually are when it comes to us.

Yep, sure. Its always the other guy, right?
And coincidentally, when you run out of arguments, you start with crap like this.

That proves enough.

No it's not always the other guy, it's just you. :up:
