    Come off it love.
    You don't get anywhere by beating people, you just mess them up, some permanently.

      I agree. It made many villains more defiant, in order to impress their cronies.

        Yeah, I'm against violence, but six of the best across the arse is different. But, perhaps not in modern times.

                I agree.

                At my brother's school the senior boys were allowed to beat the junior ones. Seems unbelievable now.

                  This has got nothing to do with 6 of the best. Supposing you got really hacked-off with your maths teacher one afternoon, got up, called him a W___r and said that with that stupid beard, no-one would know the difference if someone pulled his head off and stuck it back on upside down and then walked out the school and jumped on the bus and went to Small Wonder Records to check what sounds were happening that week, you'd expect to get the cane the next morning, not get surrounded by a load of Crusaders and tarts, wouldn't you? (Not that I would ever treat a teacher with such disrespect, a hypothetical scenario).

                    But bullying, according to those in the know, is 'much worse' these days than ever before. So maybe you can't create or eliminate bullying, you can only shift it around.

                      Evidence?

                      (I'm not saying you are wrong but where is the evidence for this?)

                            I've worked in young offenders institutions
                            Violence breeds violence

                            You might have a spanking fetish but don't expect everyone to want to share it

                              Young offenders and young grammar school kids are, ahem, different let's say, cohorts.

                                In your head matey
                                The thing that always struck me when I used to work in prisons and the like was how ordinary and like everyone else those inside were.
                                I used to work with lifers and they were the most 'normal' group of chaps (on the surface) you would encounter.
