in thailand all 18 year old males have to report for military service at 18, (thais leave school at 18). if however they are accepted at university they will not have to perform military service.
its an excellent grounding for them, either get an education or get discipline. but i have to say hand on heart we do not have any real major problems with the youths, there is the odd gang fight or fight between schools although this is rare, but we dont have a situation where a gang sets upon an innocent bloke walking home, especially if they are older. the police here are quite happy to dish out beatings (as the british police where before all the cctv spoilt it).
if there is some form of national service it has to have some sort of production, the people need to leave it with some benefit rather than just being fit or having been beasted for two years.
on a side note ladyboys are exempt from service as they are seen by the army to be mental and they even get a medical certificate which stays with them for life stating this, it doesnt help when they then try to find employment.
now my views on the thugs, going back to my police days it was obvious where the problem lies, we can all point fingers at the government but the buck stops with the parents, i saw it many times, the bad adults have bad children, who then go on to have bad children as there is no discipline.
in my opinion if a child is found guilty of an offence then the parent or guardian should also be punished for that offence, if the child id out and drunk at 11pm and gives someone a kicking then the parents should also be responsible for that.
f*ck civil liberties now, its all very well being pc when you dont live in an inner city surrounded by these c*nts.
I will hold my hand up and say i saw many beatings dished out in the police, not to joe public but to the repeat offenders, we knew the courts would let us down so it was a way of deterring them in the future, it worked with many failed with many.
its all very well blaming blair (who isnt scottish lando) and brown, we can even go back to the conservative government because it was just as bad then but less highlighted, but once again the people of britain will be shafted because of the mindset thats forced on them now, scared of being accused of being racist, scared of being called a grass etc.
i can say hand on heart that the 'do gooders' have caused more problems than they have solved
