Bastards!!

Have you heard about how they scan your car for devices using a Bluetooth phone now? If something comes up i.e. a phone or laptop, pda etc. then they break into the car and take it.

All thieves should have their hands chopped off.

Whats to deter thieves these days? A few months in a cushy prison watching tv all day and building up your muscles so you out run the cops or take on more people without fear of getting a kicking?
They should be kept in the most basic conditions and have gospel music blasted at them 24-7 oh and inject them with muscle relaxants so that they end up as weakinglings when they get out.

Don't think you're too far from the mark Keith. Prisons are too cushy. If they were proper stinking shit holes it would be a better detterent. Saddly the do gooders say we can't do that and it's these do good fuckwits that are partially to blame for society being a fuck up.

When I grew up and was a shit I got a smack. I learnt the boundries and right from wrong. Can't smack your child now as it's abuse, then people wonder why kids are such tearaways. Under 18 they should have minimal rights and should just do as they are fucking told
