It's OK Scouser, I don't think anyone has noticed.

What doesn't change is that scum, whether it is scum that kills women while they are working or scum that cracks the skull and causes a brain bleed to a good woman helping out another elderly woman being robbed or scum that kidnaps the newly born child of a woman in a maternity hospital and that scum just like the scum on a shower floor needs to be cleaned up and in my opinion preferably permanently removed.

Personally I'd like to see the introduction of conscription.

I must emphasise that it's not a panacea for society's ills, but it does instill a sense of discipline, responsibility, self respect, teamwork, pride and a respect for authority. Learn how to push themselves beyond what they thought was possible, learn skills that they didn't have.

For those who are ineligible (physical, objectors etc), a model similar to Germany's Zivildienst where non-soldiers would serve the community working in retirement homes, hospitals etc. I am aware that Germany no longer has a conscript army.

Of course I don't expect everyone to agree with me, it would be expensive to implement initially but I think that in the long term society would benefit from a skilled, productive, professional and caring young generation.

That has been trialled in the past Ryan. The trouble was they then ended up fitter and about as well trained and better organised than your average copper. Looking at the shapes of a lot of our 'Boys in Blue' these days, ... I'll say no more. Oh, but I did hear some great stories from days of yore.

No thanks, been there, got the T-shirt (and the mental scars).

Ryan, we probably won't agree on this, but IMHO a whole generation of our pale compatriots ended up with a significant number suffering from PTSD in varying degrees and major anger management issues exactly because of the fact that they were conscripted...

I have a lot of respect for people willing to make sacrifices and serve in the armed forces, but conscription is not the answer.

It's certainly true that it is an immense benefit to police that crims are so short-sighted and just plain thick - we don't want to train them up to become smarter

As pointed out earlier in the thread, even having the worst penalty available would not stop something like that bag-snatching streak of piss that has been in the news lately - these wee scrotes just do not connect cause and effect at all.

I don't give a shit about their pathetic little lives of crime - I despair at how much $$$ they cost society - maybe we should start lacing P with rat poison? Is it wrong that I find that amusing?
