Spanky... Aime... cutting off fingers and hands?

I hope you're joking.

If not, then I sincerely hope neither of you are let anywhere near a position where you could make those kinds of decisions.

Alan, all I can say in response to that is.... "thank you, thank you!" as Aime bows from her soap box to the thunderous applause of the more sane amongst the posters.

Ok CJ Morgan and TRTL, I can now longer keep the whimsical smile on my face from exploding into raucous laughter. Gee! Lighten up guys :-)
If you knew me better, you'd learn to appreciate the fact that I am blessed, or cursed, which ever way you look at it, with a dry sense of humor. Of course I was joking about the fingers. Removing postage stamp sized pieces of skin from areas of the back and applying salt to the wounds can be just as effective as long as it's done correctly and the bonus is that the anti-social 'so and so' is not only branded as such for life, but still has his fingers to write out job application forms (or Centrelink forms) and provided he/she wears a shirt, nobody should ever find out.

I should hasten to add that perhaps this post has indeed, run it's course. Thank you for all who added balanced debate no matter what your views. My purpose for the post was simply to gain an idea of what people thought about corporal punishment. I guess the "nos" have it!

Aime,

Would have you given the Paris Hilton the cane/strap? What about John Howard for not wearing his seat belt a few years back? Bronwyn Bishop for refusing to turn-off her mobile phone on an aeroplane, dangerous and obstinate! Mark Latham for a zillion reasons.
