Ok, so I think this topic has come up in couple threads - most recently in the NBC/Pedophile suicide thread - but I thought this may be worth digging into a little deeper.
Here is the topic of discussion. Should public humiliation replace certain penalties on certain offenses here in the US?
You mean essentially returning to the days when they'd lock someone up in the stocks in the town square and let the people hurl insults and rotten veggies at them?
Then how is it a public humiliation?Quote:
Police officers caught littering, parking in a prohibited area, or arriving late - among other misdemeanors - will be forced to stay in the division office and wear the armband all day, said Police Col. Pongpat Chayaphan. The officers won't wear the armband in public.

Hence the discussion. I think that public humiliation could be a more cost-effective punishment for certain crimes, rather than spending time and money using the normal legal system.
Remember that kid that got caned in Singapore? I think something along those lines would work wonders here, but the ACLU would have a hissyfit.
LOL WTF is that. Darth Kitty?Quote:

Any crime not involving Hello Kitty as a punishment is cruel and unusual.

Depending on the crime, I don't think public humiliation should be considered cruel or unusual; rather - poetic justice.
I think the amendment means to the criminal, not to the rest of us.Quote:

Seems fair to me as long as the punishment doesn't go over the top like this:
Scummy business men should be paddled by burly circus performers live in front of millions of people.

Indeed.
Those who give the cock unlawfully should, upon proof of guilt, receive the cock unlawfully.
shouldn't that be in S&B?
Actually if its punishment its legal. Give unlawful unwanted cock, receive lawful unwanted cock.Quote:

During mating season, male kangaroos compete for females by fighting for them. During the fight, they use their tails to balance as they kick their opponent - aiming to render their dick useless.
Maybe that should be the new punishment for rapists.
In the article, it says that the officers will not wear the armband in public. Just that if they get caught comitting (public) offenses that they will have to wear them (in HQ, I guess).
I thought of a creative humiliation punishment for those fuck ups like Paris Hilton or Lindsay Lohan. I would have seized their assets and required them to work at mcdonald's for an entire year. Call off or are late once then jail time for maximum amount of the crime. Then again now that I think about it doubt it would have any effect on them, cuz nothing you do will.
