I agree. the more publicity you give to any type of crime the more certain sections of society will follow.
On of the reasons we have such a problem with teenage violence is the influence of American 'Teen Movies' They should be banned. If kids dont know about something they cant follow it.

Re: What A Horrendous Twenty Four Hours

I think a suitable punishment for knife attackers is to be put in an Iron Maiden ( I think thats what its called ) ya know, that medieval torture device where you stand inside it, and everyday spikes are slowly sinking into you inch by inch. Peeeeerfect i think. Oh but dont stop, dont bloody stop. Id pay to see that.

Maybe you should pay for some serious professional help .... it's ok to be in favor of harsher punishments; the debate about the death penalty is one that will probably never go away ... but this eager anticipation to revel in the suffering of another human being, goes far beyond punishment. Reminds me of something that Dr. Johnson (I think) said about Puritans. He observed that Puritans were opposed to bear baiting, not because of the pain it gave to the bear, but because of the pleasure it gave to the spectators.

Well no, i dont mean for mine or anybody elses satisfaction. I meant so that these cretins can feel what its like to feel physical pain, which is similar to what the victims family feel emotionally. Im not a sadist or anything, i just think that these thugs deserve a punishment thats fitting to their crimes.

And eye for an eye

And eye for an eye
The "eye for an eye" thing doesn't work ... and it is a distortion of a belief which also gives us "thou shalt not kill" and "turn the other cheek" (not that I've ever been in favor of cheek turning; but then again, I'm not much into eye gouging either). Capital and corporal punishment pander to a nasty side of human nature: the side that sold out the collosium on game night, that drew the crowds to Tyburn for the hangings, that filled, and still fills the ranks of death squads.

A perfect example of the fuzzy thinking of modern day liberals.

Ah, you have stumbled into the truth. Having for years been spoon-fed an almost universally negative diet by the press and others of influence, it is hardly surprising that the views all too often displayed on this site are as they are. However, from firsthand knowledge and experience, let me assure you that the vast majority of Americans lead very tranquil lives, despite violent crime hot spots and periodic aberrations, which are present in all civilized societies, including your own.

Well, this week they seem to have done something of an about-face on self defense. From what I have read, it isn't a return to the old common law Castle Doctrine - but it's a start.

Well I think this was the only country where you could break into someones home and the poor sod who is the victim could end up in jail, If somebody is in your house illegally you don't want to spend a few minutes passing the time of day with he scum bag, and you haven't got the time to think if I beat this b*****d up I may be in trouble, you act first and ask questions later, an Englishmans Home is his Castle and whoa betide anyone who enters illegally
