So you want them to lie? My dad was like that. I admitted to several things I didn't do in order to reduce the amount of caning.
This led to a funny incident at school. Somebody did something, and another grassed. The bully came to question me - I had no memory of telling on him, but the way he described the comments, I though oh that does sound like something I'd say. I took the beating. Then the actual grass came up and asked me why did I admit something I hadn't done?
- b112 3y agoUnclear what a 'grass' is. Are you referring to falling down?

- lazide 3y agoFair or not, this is the idea behind 'no contest' pleas in court. No admittance of fault, but not going to fight the prosecution either because it isn't worth it. It isn't necessarily fair or sane - it's predictable though. Which is something.
