Getting the trouble causes out of the way of the every day law obiding man on the street out for a few drinks with his mates, is agood idea on theory. Whether it will work in reality is another story.
no you dont get me. im not just talking a few adverts. Its proper education at a society level that needs to be done. Its attitudes that need to be changed.
if that requires horrendously expensive alcohol to do so (accepting that some innocent people will end up having to pay more when they done nothing wrong - unfortunately this society is so stupid that you need laws to outlaw stupidity) then so be it. Even a complete ban for a few years if it works!!
This country just cant do nothing about it though!!
Im all for a mass prison building program and manadatory short prison sentances for a range of such anti social behaviour type offences. Its clear softly softly doesnt work so all you have left is punishment. If you hurt them enough then eventually in thier tiny little brains they will associate bad behaviour with pain/punishment and change. A cow wont keep walking into electric fence!! if it does you put it down for being demented!! Obviously we cant put humans down but we can have strict punishment and a 3 strikes type law!!
The rehabilitation model of our justice system just doesnt work. too many people are beyond rehabilitation so all that leaves is punishment. The justice system needs to be a combined rehabilitation/proper punishment system!!!
