What century are we living in?

just had a look at this clip on Singaporian lashing...I want to get ill. How can this absolute brutality be metered out to a fellow human being. Words can't describe what I just saw. I am ill to the core. What did this guy do to deserve this beating?

I think i have voiced my opinion enough about mad bob and Zimboland ..  managed to open the video clip  now  ,, but down to countries that practice such barbaric acts ,, well i wont visit them .. David said that i should spend some days in  singapore en route to  thailand last year ..   refused the ho;iday  in  maylaysia as well ...  well the same as the emirate states ,, they may pander to  the tourist , turn blind eye  to their "  infidel bad habits " in controlled places ,, sorry i wont go ...

There is a program here on the ABC its called Media Watch, and last Monday they showed a very small clip of the video in response to a radio program Perth 6PR posting it on their web site.

The response they said they had was (Perth 6PR) overwhelming in favor of this sort of punishment.
And (just shows the ignorance out there)  that they would like this to be introduced in Western Australia.

The ABC Media Watch gave their program pardon the pun a caning and said it was old footage and was used
as a deterrent in Malaysia and Singapore.

I have been to Singapore beautiful city beautiful people, but do not digress there, spitting on the streets is a caning offence
I think education is a better way to tackle these things. Hanging Caning Chopping hands off as you say What Century are we living
in.
