Amongst root causes are no hope of employment in some areas, the opportunity to steal things that rioters could never afford and "having fun". -- Martin Whilst agreeing with the above, I believe you haven't gone far enough. Before the "no hope " stage arrives, people - i.e. children/youths need to have been taught respect for their elders. Only a small minority are out of control. This goes even further back to their school days where lack of discipline was / is rife. The abolishment of corporal punishment was the start of the rot. No one ever wanted to "beat up" children for misbehaving, but a short sharp shock worked wonders for the applier of corporal punishment? Rmember Willy Whitlelaw's proposal which got nowhere ? In retrospect we can appreciate the wisdow of our own education, I assume we are all well behaved pillars of society ! At the school I went to only the bad teachers resorted to corporal punishment. -- Martin "Corporal Punishments" is such a strong phrase - not invented by me, but it must be remembered that the cane never did any real harm - it did more good than harm. One only got the cane if one misbehaved, was cheeky or rude - tendencies which needed to be corrected. The pillars of society at the time of its abolition had in all probability received the cane at some time. The "do-gooders" have ruined society and we are now reaping the products of their actions. There were, without doubt, bad teachers who went beyond the ethos of good discipline. Bill I went to a Private School and the Slipper was very effective. Mike This is what is encompassed by the term Corporal Punishment. Hardly compatible with the term. I'm with you on this Mike Bill |
