Or gaffesmanship if we are discussing the OWF. :D I have nothing to ask, but I enjoy reading your analyses; as with most older leaders. Thank you for taking time now and then to offer your thoughts.

Wasn't that the Friday girl? YouTube Dream Team.

A toast to you, Greeks.

Hm. Welcome friends. May you find such good fortune as you wish upon others.

Maybe that Mayday guy you used to like can take his place Sam. He had... uh... quite a singing voice. EDIT: Freddy... I think that was it.

We'll all be calling him kid well into his thirties.

I admit, that park does give me a terrible sense of foreboding...

Our TE AA, The Flying Kiwis, was constantly getting hit by Aussies with the reason "Australia > New Zealand." So Kiwi is your best bet. :v:

Excalibump.

Always a heavy feeling to see the passing of one of CN's oldest not-a-bloc's. Keep on rolling everybody.

I yield to your expertise friend. I'm just gauging exactly what extent of the traditional justice system people might consider equivalent to a good lashing.

We might also make the whipping more proportionate to the crime. So many lashes for so many days you would have spent in jail. Let's say, for ten years you would have spent in prison, you need to report to court for a whipping once a week. Maybe you have just been charged before trial, and you have the option of paying bail with a whipping. Or maybe you are just being held for a few days before being charged with something. Would you do that, or take a whipping? Now we're talking unusual.

I think the OP is questioning if taking a few lashes actually constitutes cruel and unusual punishment. Western society generally considers any form of physical pain to be cruel and unusual, but given the option of that versus society's accepted form of punishment (jail), many here are in favor of whipping. Just for the heck of argument, I'll say that I would take jail in hopes that I could clear my criminal record in an appeal; though if I could appeal before or after taking my full whipping punishment I guess I'd go for that. Also have the possibility of parole in jail, if appeals go badly.
