Was it you?
I never once said that i did think i was better than them, you made the tragic mistake of making a baseless assumption right there.(Original post by cl_steele)
correct me if im wrong but by this logic you yourself are worthy of a slap for all this judging and thinking youre better than them for their evil ways...
Obviously..... I know, why don't we only talk about the most evil problem that exists, because obviously speaking about anything else is redundant as there's something worse than it? From now on based on your post, i reckon it would be only fair if you never complained or moaned about any single thing, ever.(Original post by ThumbsUp)
I think we have more problems in society than 'whose giving the evils over who because they are wearing a Gucci belt' or whatever...sigh
Even if you get mugged, don't mention it at all because getting raped would be worse right? ...sigh -
Re: Should we legalise a 'slapping brigade' for people that need it?Of course i think that they should. But does that mean that i want it implemented in reality and think that it's a feasible idea? OBVIOUSLY NOT. It's genuinely only misleading to immensely gullible people, or just plain idiots. Which one is it for you?(Original post by Kiss)
It is pretty misleading when you give a title and comment at the start which says people should be slapped, then go on about how you don't want to slap people.
Your post is pretty obscure as well as being pointless. And no, I'm replying to this because your post is obscure and pointless, not because I feel the need to 'defend my academic ego'.
If you think that it's pointless then fine, don't reply to this and go and tell TSR what you are reading now part 7 or update your profile. -
Re: Should we legalise a 'slapping brigade' for people that need it?the fact youre advocating assaulting them kind of speaks for itself.(Original post by theonefrombrum)

Re: Should we legalise a 'slapping brigade' for people that need it?I said problemS, the plural of problem, which means there many more problems to be discussed.(Original post by theonefrombrum)

Re: Should we legalise a 'slapping brigade' for people that need it?Does it? Why do you think that we should imprison people who commit fraud? Doesn't it 'kind of speak for itself' with regards to the justice system's desire to lock up these types of criminals, who aren't being locked up to prevent the public from harm?(Original post by cl_steele)
the fact youre advocating assaulting them kind of speaks for itself.
Or is it done out of a desire for redemption and a degree of justice to be delivered? Ok maybe slapping these people is a step too far; why don't we scream in their faces and berate them in front of lots of people?
You might say that we should do nothing and to that i would ask you whether you would advocate not locking up criminals? -
Re: Should we legalise a 'slapping brigade' for people that need it?i think you have a screw loose kid, this strange jumble of different and unrelated arguments makes no sense .. where did i say anything about wanting to jail people for fraud? why do you want to scream at someone for thinking theyre better than someone else, for all you know they are ... a doctor is a better person and a crack head or child molester...(Original post by theonefrombrum)

and your last sentance just doesnt deserve a retort. -
Re: Should we legalise a 'slapping brigade' for people that need it?I was making an analogous example to make the point that justice in general is done out of a personal desire for revenge, if you will. You were making me out to be a bad person with your 'advocating assault' or whatever speaks volumes about me, but don't you think that locking up people and taking them away from their families for things such as fraud and tax evasion then speaks volumes about the justice system?(Original post by cl_steele)

My underlying point is, just feeling that someone should get punished isn't a bad thing and i'm showing you proof that i'm not alone in thinking like this when i mention the justice system. Obviously, criminality isn't the same as being judgemental but it's a transgression nonetheless, one more substantial then looking down on someone but one that evokes equal (when considering scales) negative feeling in people who hear about and see it.
So just tell me, why am i such a bad person for feeling that a judgemental person who makes other people feel inferior and unworthy not get a slap, or at least get berated in public? Why should they get away with destroying someone's confidence scot free?
