I can already imagine a pedestrian being canned because he was not fast enough to avoid a car turning left and grazing him on a zebra crossing resulting in a small dent on the car…
Maybe 6 hard whacks of the cane per year you want commuted?
You try it first.
Oh, I’d gladly go first. IF I had actually done something wrong. But I haven’t.
Law-abiding people like us wouldn’t have to worry about a thing.
But we do have a thing called human rights.
Where are those “human rights” when criminals are out wrecking society, vandalizing public property, robbing innocent people, and making the streets unsafe?
You know what would actually protect human rights? Fear. Fear of getting six strokes of a bamboo cane across their backsides.
Your post demonstrates your lack of understanding of what rights are.
Secondly, your post is so full of hyperbole that it’s hard to take seriously, where exactly has society been ‘wrecked’? I can show you pics of Germany I took a month ago. It didn’t look very wrecked to me. But don’t trust DB. The on time rates suck.
And, as someone with a background in public policy/economics/politics, such assertions that fear of state sanctioned violence do not make crime go down.
If you want to live in a world where criminals have more rights than law-abiding citizens, go ahead. Just don’t whine when you’re the one getting robbed, and the guy who did it walks free the next day with your wallet in his back pocket and your money spent on his bond.
Try New York, San Francisco, London, Paris and Berlin all overrun by degenerates who know there are zero consequences for their actions.
Tell that to Singapore, where caning keeps the streets clean.
Not all people who commit crimes think about consequences. Some are driven by mental health struggles, poverty, or straight-up survival. Such punitive measures are there to appease the public that some justice was done. It does not address the root of the problem.
Because that’s worked out so well in the past. Public hangings didn’t seem to put a dent in crime back in the good old days when they were family entertainment. There doesn’t appear to be any correlation between draconian punishment and crime rates. It’s not as if we don’t have loads of examples. Nordic countries are notoriously soft on criminals and have historically low crime rates (that is, until Sweden let in thousands of refugees to flood their country).
They don’t. We all have the same rights.
You can go onto YouTube right now and get up to date footage of what is happening in these cities. I’ve been to Berlin myself relatively recently. I cannot find any evidence they are ‘overrun’
Correllation does not equal causation.
Taiwan’s streets are safe and they don’t need to do this. Caning is cruel and unusual punishment and not befit for democratic society.
Surely that’s not the only reason.
It is more likely because Singapore runs good institutions.
Fact is punishment doesn’t deter crimes, there’s needs to address the social and economic cause of crime and punishment should be the very last resort. But punishment fits with our ape brain desire for revenge, however it doesn’t stop crime. Fact that public punishment was used as a means of entertainment is proof that punishments were never meant to deter crimes, it just feels good.
Death penalty for drug “crimes” has not stopped people bringing drugs, apart from pile of corpses to fuel our desire to harm others.
Gee what a surprise to see this particular poster touting antediluvian punishments. 
Sure, you have the right to commit a crime and a sovereign state has the right to decide your punishment.
I almost got caned after a cricket fight in elementary school in Queensland in the 1980s in Sir Joh’s Queensland.
I deserved it but had my very-liberal parents intervene to rescue me. 
Sparing the rod is not always the right path.
Back in the old days, there weren’t cameras everywhere. No facial recognition, no forensic science, no constant surveillance. People got away with a lot more crime simply because it was easier to avoid getting caught.
That only “works” in tiny, homogeneous societies with high social trust.
Funny how that happens.
Enough Youtube for one day (A Syrian “refugee” knifing people in Berlin). Not exactly my cup of tea.
There is a lot of censorship and propaganda out there in Germany right now. Post a meme and you’ll be arrested or fined heavily.
However, it is fact they represent 15% of the population but somehow 40% of the crimes… News outlets are just trying to calm rightfully upset people down… With propaganda claiming there is nothing to see…
And what did that teach you? That you could act up and dodge consequences just because mommy and daddy cried about it.
You said they are wrecked. Wrecked has a meaning. How is it wrecked?
