:( I'd say 12 of those points are eminently sensible.

[TheCurly]

The last election she got 67 votes.Finishing last behind the Cannabis Is Safer Than Alcohol Party :-(

Standing at the back dressed stupidly and looking stupid party!

**** me, what a nutter, american spelling would be a big clue.

Well she's clearly a whack-job. But imprisoning animal cruellists, for example, is hardly radical, is it?

She was doing really well, but the second half of her manifesto falls away quite badly. 'Protect the NHS', indeed! :furious:

[The Jorge]

It's mildly inconsistent with her idea on enshrining being cruel to humans though, no?

[TheCurly]

Oh absolutely with her on that one.Not quite sure how she squares that with the beating children bit

[Sir C]

Oh I'm definitely in favour of beating children, c. Beatings did moe more good than harm, by a country mile. No, I'm happy with corporal punishment in schools. Capital punishment in schools is a matter I'd need to consider for a little more time before reaching a firm conclusion.

[Sir C]

What? No, not at all. Humans have free will, and often deserve to have cruelty inflicted upon them. Especially children, who are often spiteful ****ers. Imagine, if Owen Jones had been thrashed soundly every day of his school career, he might not have grown up into such a sanctimonious smug little **** with zero concept of responsibility :shrug:

Animals, on the other hand, are innocent.

[TheCurly]

I'm just thinking of the 68 people who voted for the Blow Party

[redgunamo]

They carry assault rifles nowadays :-(

They did well to make it to the polling station tbh.

My cat catches birds and mice and toys with them, sometimes for hours, before slowly eating them, leaving only the stomach. I'm not sure what isnt cruel about that, especially to me the poor sod who cleans up the stomachs.

Corporeal punishment has been statistically proven to scar and damage children, in fact Ed Gein, Ted Bundy, Fred West and Ian Brady were all soundly beaten as children and went on to perpetuate that for kicks on their victims.

What your cat does is not 'cruel' because neither the cat nor the bird have any concept of this idea of cruelty. The cat is simply innocent and the bird simply unlucky.

Hitler wasn't beaten as a child. What does that prove?

He was, I think you'll find his da' ****ed him up and his mum mollycoddled him, perfect psychopath combo there. I might not know much about british rolyalty but I'll happily take an interest in less offensive regimes.

Alright then, he may have been a bit beaten, but everyone was beaten at school for hundreds of years to no ill effect :shrug:

And there's a difference between a savage beating and a clip round the ear. I'd make the rule, 'It's ok if it doesn't leave vsisible marks.' This gives the dedicated disciplinarian the opportunity to work the kidneys if required.

No, of course, it's not a brutal world full of brutal people where awful things happen every day, is it?

[redgunamo]

them as toys, to teach their puppies how to kill.

And despite those notable worthies you mention there, that still leaves an awful lot of people on whom corporal correction or punishment has led to a constructive, beneficial outcome.

:nod: Hitting them round the head with telephone books works a treat in this regard, too.

To be fair j,some people are just bad *******s no matter what their up-bringing

That's a direct result of 70 years of socialism, not a kid getting caned for stealing.

I'll bet you that the vast majority of your most admired historical figures (don't tell me who they are - it would only upset me) took various degrees of disciplinary shoeing as kids because everyone did back in the day. And yet they turned out alright by your lights.

On the other hand, some of the most vicious psychopaths have entirely happy upbringings. Most opinion on the matters seems to think they are born, not made.

I was caned on the hand once and slippered on the arse twice at school before I reached my 11th birthday - not counting the various clips round the ear and blackboard rubber/cranium interfaces. I'm remarkably unbothered about it and almost certainly deserved it. I really don't see what the problem is.

[redgunamo]

Nowadays though, it's all mummy's boys and Milchbubis.

So was I*, but then again if my kid came home from school and told me it had happened to him I would be down the school quicker than Theo Walcott can receive a pass and lose the ball.

*I was never "slippered" on the bum as my school was fundamentally not a gay school

Nothing gay about my south London state primary school, sw. Oddly enough, my secondary (Public) school had banned all forms of corporal punishment, so we were condemned to the tedium of lines and Saturday morning detentions instead :-(

I know what you mean about the reaction we'd have if it happened to our kids, but that's just our namby-pamby societal conditioning where we're encouraged to think our kids are lovely and special and aren't capable of being horrible little ****s who deserve the odd battering. I would argue that our over-protective attitude is probably more damaging to the long-term welfare of our kids than that of our parents to us.

[redgunamo]

You see yourself as more of a "parent", than a father? :-(
