The whole world is diverse and almost everyone on the planet is friendly, happy etc, humanity is collectively trending towards harmony and happiness by abandoning institutional violence and employing more appropriate solutions for social issues.
The reason you won't see those needles, addicts, mentally ill homeless etc is they get executed.
If you anticipate your son going to school there he will probably be caned.

- fragola 10y ago>"He will probably be caned" [citation needed] because it looks like they only cane about 2500 people a year, and can't cane people under 16 unless they get tried as adults. I feel like you are exaggerating -- like saying that because the US has capital punishment, and sometimes people get convicted wrongly, moving here will mean that you will get executed.
- benologist 10y agoThat's the prison system. Caning is also a heavily supported and pervasive component of their education system. http://www.corpun.com/counsgs.htm http://www.corpun.com/counsgs.htm I get the disbelief - I can't imagine anyone caning my daughter either. Here in Costa Rica nobody is legally allowed to hit her. As a child in Australia lots of teachers and principals were legally enabled to hurt me. Some parts of the world lag way behind in basic human decency and rights and cling to violent solutions even when today we know they're ineffective - my state ditched such punishment before I was a teenager. If you moved to parts of the Middle East you could take your boy to public beheadings ... by governments, not just ISIS.
