    The reason why I am not in the mood to laugh at this, is I read an article a couple of weeks ago, about a gay inmate in Texas, where he was repeatedly raped and sexually assualted by other inmates for about a year, IIRC.
    does that make them gay too? or at least bisexual?

              I agree. Abolishing the Death Penalty is stupid. It takes a legitamate tool of justice out of the hands of the people.

                Not sure if that makes the attackers gay or bisexual.

                Probably homophobics who either rammed objects up his ass, or did actually use their actual private part.

                  Are you pro- corporal punishment in schools?

                    Personally, I waffle on the issue of capital punishment. On the one hand, mistakes can and will be made, and the idea that the state therefore kills innocents from time to time sickens me. On the other hand, every time I think I've decided that the death penalty should be done away with, some maniac commits a crime horrible enough for me to reconsider. If forced to pick a side, I would say abolish it, but that is by no means a firm conviction.

                      Just for students like Boddington. Not cute little dolphins like you BC.

                      Seriously though...I got paddled, but it wasn't that often. Not a big deal. Lots of "good kids" never got anything. It's not a big hairy deal...

                      Definitely not analagous to capital punishment. Unless your ass is really soft...

                        Where would Ming be without his banning rod!

                        I personally think kicking a hairy lard-arse can teach them a lesson.

                        Anyway, the analogy was whether any "legitimate" punishment can be removed from the people. i.e Can a "legitimate" disciplining tool be removed from parents/teachers.

                          Congratulations --- you found an entirely separate topic that calls for a separate thread -- corporal punishment in schools.

                          Now, back to the death penalty and its international implications.

                            I'm for it, especially up to grade 8. After grade 8, I think that many students will be too big for it to have any effect. (Imagine giving the heavyweight wrestler a smacking) I think that a bruised a$$ would send the message to straighten up better than a simple detention. However, I think that the best place that corporal punishment should be used is in the home, while the child is still young enough to learn from lessons. I'd say that parents shouldn't hit children anwhere but the backside, but other than that I am 100% for corporal punishment.

                              Striking a child on the ass still constitutes physical violence in my opinion.

                              I do not care how many people on Apolyton brag about how well they are now, because of the physical violence they received as "discipline."

                              Again -- it does not matter WHERE you strike a child -- physical violence is physical violence.
