If you were elected PM today, what would you do?

[CrazyColaist]

Make gay and lesbian adoption illegal, I do not think children would live normal lives otherwise and it's not fair on them to be bullied.

I find that HIGHLY offencive


are you saying gay people shouldnt adopt?

[T0M]

To spongebob, i dont see how it is offensive? It is an opinion that doesnt insult anybody that is gay/lesbian in anyway

I think gay/lesbian/foreigners these days take every single thing as a racist/homophobic comment Toughen up please

It is, though because a humans main anthropological instinct is to show dominance and to assert who is the person at the top of the heirarchy, studies also show that children who get beaten or were subjected to corporal punishment had social problems later on in life. Corporal punishment never helped teenagers anyway because when teenagers are faced by a social barrier such as this they react either positively or negatively however when faced by a negative barrier such as corporal punishment they will usualy be affected adversely by rebelling which meant lots more people left school earlier back then and didnt do aswell in tests because of the pressure and the stress from fear. The way to go is on a system of mutual respect (which has been enforced at my school). This entales a agreement of rules, but the rules such as no smoking, no shouting, no anger, no anti-social behaviour ect. are not just followed by the students but also by the teachers, if either break the rules they get warnings. If a student becomes unwilling to learn they get the option to leave or stay, if they choose to leave they get expelled, if a teacher breaks theese rules we can put complaints in and same can they. in which is a more workplace like environment, with no break times, a lunch time, and 9-2.30 day, this system is proving affective because it is a much more resonable system of mutual respect and not a traditional hierachy in which everyone is set at a certain level.


Corporal punishment is somthing to be kept in history books. I personally do not agree with almost every right wing view. I believe in socialisation and do not believe in resorting to more chovanistic ways.

I'm well aware that humans want to be the top of everything, but I have no idea what that's got to do with chauvinism, which is something you don't seem to know either.

Getting a proper beating from your parents is different to a slap on the hands or buttocks with a cane. The former can go as far as abuse, whilst the latter serves (or served) well as a deterrent more than a punishment and was fairly successful - also note that the parents of most forum members would have been around whilst corporal punishment was enforced, and many will have received it. I highly doubt that they all have social problems, and to be honest anyone who gets caned a lot was probably a trouble maker and therefore already had problems.
Also just because there would be a system of light corporal punishment doesn't mean there can't also be respect, it's not one of the other.

Well to be honest, that seems double standard to me. You don't want mental bullying of children but are happy to let mis-behaving ones be beaten with a cane? Just my opinion.

It is different, if you smash a window in school then you are asking for it.

To the nuclear question by undertaker further up, the reason im against it is because its extremely dangerous and extremely expensive to set up and to also get rid of once it has done its job, id prefer to have more wind farms to create electricity, although imo global warming is a fad and is a total waste of our money with all these schemes and if petrol prices go up/flights are taxed because of it i will be seriously annoyed

Nuclear Power is not dagerous, you are thinking of Chernobyl and that was a Soviet Reactor which were very poor and still are today. Western reactors are different and incredibly safe.

Wind farms are a waste of money, generate hardly any electric that's why you would need thousands just to replace 1 nuclear power station.

But yes you are right on Global Warming, it's absolute rubbish.

DID I INSULT GAYS OR LESBIAN IN THIS THREAD AT ONE POINT? CAN YOU NOT READ!

I said I am only against adoption because the children will be bullied because of it, so yes I am againt gay/lesbian adoption, and if you have a problem with it after you read this, before shouting 'HOMOPHOBE' read all of my posts and quote these nasty remarks out to me, because I can't seem to find anythign offensive to anyone.

Oh and I have also missed out Immagration, well i'd have border control put in place and zero immagration allowed except for people who are docters or have the skills we need.

I disagree with gays/lesbians not adopting. They should be able to. Also, it is kinda contradictory of you to suggest how to make YOUR Britain when you cannot educate the people about adoption and gays/lesbians.

I rather like Australia's system. If they can prove they have useful skills and if they can speak fluent English, they are allowed in.

I worded that wrong. That made it sound easy. But it's not, I know. My family have looked into it.

And have a minimum of £2,000 in their bank accounts? That may come in some use.

As I have said, it would only work if corporal punishment was brought back, then no one would say anything because the threat of being smacked would be hanging over them.

You cannot educate people about it, it is something that takes time to be accepted, and in todays climate it's not accepted yet.

I agree, that's what I ment in my post.

This is one of the reasons I wanted Michael Howard to win the last election, he promised border control, but sadly Tony Blair won another term. I also think Lady Thatcher is best Prime Minister we've ever had.

I agree, Australia have great border control. My sister's moving there in a couple of months and she's finding it difficult even from England.
