  1. The thing is, brutality from one side nearly always increases brutality in the other side.

    Why do you think protests get so violent in Greece where the police is heavily armed with tear gas and all of that, and that kind of, doesn't happen in Sweden where the police rarely use much force?

    This relationship is kind of what caused the huge riots in your country I guess.

    Agree, but some kid's do not listen when they're simply told in schools. A little bit of physical punishment may make them think twice. Which riots were you referring to?
  3. The ones last year.

    I still think there are better ways to make those kids listen Violence just isn't a solution.
  4. They all stemmed from one incident in Lonodn though where a Police officer shot dead a civilian which later turned out to be the wrong call. Most of the rioters were actually just youths jumping on the bandwagon, wrecking shops etc and stealing. All of them of an age where they wouldn't have had physical punishment in school.

    I think there's a difference between using reasonable force as a deterrent and using violence.

    I'm not saying it was because of physical violence in school.

    I just drew a parallel to that a police using force is met by force. That there's a relationship between the force used by different sides.
  6. Yeah, but if the kids were deterred from misbehaving in the first place, they would have a better understanding of what can and can't be done. There is very much a mentality of "You can't touch me or I'll get you fired" in schools over here. Probably due to some cases where careers have been ruined when teahcers are pushed over the edge by students.

    Just tell the kids you'll call their parents instead of hitting them.
  8. Parents also need to have effective discipline. I don't think kids would behave bad at school if they don't at home.
  9. I'll get back to you tomorrow, Tim, I didn't find the time to do it tonight After all, I have an exam tomorrow and I had to study a bit

    Good night!
