I say forget asbos and bring back the village stocks I reckon a day in the stocks would be a far better punishment for small crimes and cost the tax payer less
Agree dude, throwing is good for hand eye coordination, and a good way for restaurants to get rid of the five and a half tons of waste food each one throws away each year 8)
Bang on the money there mate..I think you will find most people agree! It ought to be put to the vote of the public
Id feel like my taxes were well spent if i could urinate over a restrained mugger on the way home from the pub Id say bring back hanging apart from i dont trust the justice system that much
Careful what you wish for. Most of us on here will have at some point in their lives given cause to have been put in the stocks. Plus you cannot guarantee that you will not give cause in the future. Should the day come paradox, that you be placed thenceforth in these stocks I shall take great please in pelting you with rotton cabbages whilst shouting "See! I bloody told you so"
I would rather be petled in public with rotten cabbage when i cock up than pay a fine and walk out of the cop shop the next day Humiliation is a great teacher
I agree with you - I think for some an asbo is a badge of honour, but all of us would be humiliated by a day in the stocks and none of us like to lose face.
Stocks are fine for most petty crimes and annoyances. For more serious ones though, the offenders can be lined up and shot. It could be a family fun day out. That's how it works in some Afghanistani villages.
I had the same idea years ago. It would take place every saturday morning, at the market gates in Donny. All the culprits would have their names in the paper the week before so that all their mates etc could be there to see the event. stocks for minor things , but the cat or birch for more serious. Bet you wouldn't see many of them twice!!!
