Then it is an effective deterrent. Maybe we can make it a greater deterrent by embedding metal spikes in the cane as well. While we are at it, introduce genital mutilation for rape and amputations for stealing.Originally posted by dragg:i have spoken to jailbirds before. caning is their only concern.
That's your view. I want retribution for criminals. If someone steals my laptop, I want to cut off his right hand. If he rapes my daughter, I want to cut off his genitals.Originally posted by Rexdriver:Caning is a medieval measure for medieval times. The death penalty is barbaric too and should be abolished as well. Deterrent sentencing is just the easy way out and a reflection of unprogressive thinking.
