I back the return of both corporal and capital punishment in the UK.
This politically correct liberalism has to stop before the country decays any further.
Look at the facts, every generation gets worse the further away we move from traditional methods of punishment. Kids are clever and know that nothing of any serious consequence is going to happen to them, so they do what ever they like and get away with it.
There will always be exceptions to the rule of course no matter what punishment is in place, however the majority would start to fall back into line.
I live in North China now with my wife and son. China has a zero tolerance to crime and both corporal and capital punishment is practised here.
The result, a safe and happy environment for all. You can walk down the streets at any hour here without worrying your going to get mugged shot or knifed by some idiot, or smacked by some drunken fool for glancing in their direction.
Kids in schools here are for the most part very well behaved and that also shows in their overall level of education too. My son is at school now and he is developing into a wonderful little boy, he has only been spanked once for misbehaving by us and that was quite a long time ago now. He still does naughty things sometimes of course, however a warning is always enough for him now.
No one wants to have to spank children, or at least I would hope that no one would, its a necessary evil and an unfortunate consequence of our very nature as humans.
Taking that away only allows some children to grow up always believing they can get away with anything and do as they please. All these people who go on about talking to their children and explaining why something is wrong talk out of their backsides, little children do not understand the differences between right and wrong and no amount of explanation is going to fix that, they are after all immature and undeveloped, once a child reaches a certain age of course they can then understand the differences between right and wrong.
A study was done not too long ago showing a part of the brain that scientists believe to be the centre where we develop morals and understanding of right and wrong. In many of the children and teenagers that had major behavioural problems that area was not active and had failed to develop at all.
Why after thousands of years of bringing up children satisfactorily have people suddenly decided that its all wrong and needs to change, and why do these people not understand its ever since we adopted this pathetic softly softly approach to criminals and wrong doing that things have fallen into anarchy.
The thing that makes me laugh is this attitude that has been adopted now that smacking children is a form of child abuse, and people who carry it out are put in the same camp as a real child abuser.
One of the reasons these kinds of laws were changed apparently was to stop child abuse, and yet its done nothing to stop it, it was always illegal and a recent study has shown an 8% rise in serious harm to children in the UK under the age of 11yrs in the last 2 years alone. All this has achieved is to stop good parents and teachers bringing up children properly and turning them into decent human beings, instead allowing them to become moral lacking trouble causes with a bad attitude.
If the UK does not pull its finger out soon the whole British Isles will need sectioning off as a penal colony.
Things will have to change pretty dramatically in the UK if I was ever to consider moving back there.
People knock China all the time for apparently being uncivilized and having a terrible human rights record. However I believe being civilized is a matter of opinion and it's only upon actually living here that you start to realise just how full of it most people are when commenting on China, its the most civilized nation I have visited in the world, and in comparison to the UK today its like living in paradise.
Sort things out FFS before the UK gets any worse.
