I think most people that frequent this forum would tend to agree that the incidence of mindless thuggery and vandalism, for no reason whatsoever, has increased in recent years. There aren’t many of us who haven’t had a child bullied, a car keyed, a house burgled or simply witnessed mindless idiots (usually teenagers) destroying property – for a laugh.

They must do it because there are no consequences which deter them. They’re simply not bothered by fines (which they never pay) or being detained by the police.

As such, it got me thinking. What punishment would actually deter these yobs? I don’t reckon ‘birching’, or some such, because it’s over in a few minutes and they’ll probably be proud of their ‘initiation’. What it really needs, I reckon, is something that ‘hurts their pride’. Most of them are arrogant – so I reckon they need ‘publicly humiliating’ them in some way. Maybe they should have to be tied to a post, stark naked, and everyone could laugh at the (lack of) manhood.

Any ideas would be welcome and I promise that the good ones will become law of I become Prime Minister!

National Service (2 years min).

Barring that buy them a Jes Extender penis enlarger and then beat them over the head with their over enlarged member.

Lock em up.

Not in a namby pamby holiday camp of a detention centre but in a real prison. Bars on windows, no TV, no playstation and locked in their cell for twenty something hours a day.

A mandatory 5 year term for any criminal conviction if they already have two or more as well. Harsh but fair imo

That would work if one poked your eye out, but what about if one keyed your car?

Yup. They key your car, you key them for the same distance. They break you window, you break their bedroom window. They punch someone in the face, they get punched in the face by someone of equal size.


I guess you get the picture?

Really? Maybe you should take a course of enlargement pills beforehand to get you to the proper starting size. 2 inches I think

Apparently they do work - you seen them African women with drooping earlobes because their earings are too heavy? It works in that way.

How's a 30% discount sound

Sorry for the hijack

back on topic:

i think a series of amputations may work. pinkie finger for first offence, then index finger of main hand (left/right handed) then a hand for third offence.

offend again and it's vasectomy time.

that should scare them enough to behave themselves. would also free up prisons.

also, get prisoners out working. better that than them sitting about. get them building roads/railways, maintenance of drains/pot holes, kerbs, public parks, cleaning chewing gum off streets. should mean cheaper council tax.

I was thinking about branding them but then thought this a little ufair coz its permanent and they may change.
I think public humiliation the best as it's a good deterent and not permanent and it's cheap. Why waste loads more of our hard earned cash on them.
Bring back stocks and tomato pelting.

This is a subject particularly close to my heart since some mindless cting tosspot put 3 dents in the wife's MR2 by walking over it.

I did the maths and worked out that with the various wing mirrors, ariels, keyings, 1 failed break-in (but not including the above-mentioned dents or the grafitti on the garage as I haven't sorted them out) the mindless tw@s of Bristol have cost me £1000 in small not-worth-losing-NCB-over type incidents over 4 years. And that doesn't include my time fixing things.

So I reckon the wkers owe me about 400 hours (£2.50 an hour seems a bit generous really) cleaning my drains with their fking toothbrushes.

In which case you are a better man than me. I'm still steaming after my vandal incident and that was two weeks ago...

Simple - key in the eye.

Boot camp, like the Americans have, include putting them to work as part of it - if you suffer from vandalism, you can ask for some of these to come round and fix it. They would think twice about graffiti if they had to paint over it all day.

Also put them to work picking up bodies from the street. Let's see how many want to be a blingin' gangsta when they've lugged half a dozen gangsta corpses full of bulletholes. Might make them think twice about drugs too, to see a few dead hookers with a needle in their arm.
