But corporal punishment for urination, as rayiner was suggesting, without providing free public toilets... that's just cruel.
I don't think the problem is caused by vast numbers if underprivileged homeless people. It sounds like it's caused by irresponsible, indifferent young men. There doesn't appear to be a widespread problem of women urinating in the streets.
It's perfectly valid to conclude that the problem is a lack of punishment and shaming of the unwanted behavior.
- phyzome 8y agoSo, let's say your new "Whip the Pissers Act" gets signed into law. Congratulations, there are now public floggings of irresponsible, indifferent young men, and many of them do change their ways. But there are also public floggings of the homeless. Awesome. Or does your law somehow codify "indifferent and irresponsible" as a condition of the crime?
- rayiner 8y agoJust like with any other crime, the prosecution or sentencing authority could take account of mitigating circumstances. We don’t get rid of laws against speeding because sometimes people are rushing to the hospital.
