I THINK the state of this country is terrible. We seem to be living in a society that either doesn't care, or doesn't know what to do about things if we do care.
Television programmes should be more responsible in what they show, especially to the young.
We have too much sex, violence and bad language. So complain, complain, complain or switch off TV.
Also, we need law and order and policemen back on our streets as people have said many times. Also schools need some control over their pupils.
I say bring back the cane and get some more discipline.
Pupils are not worried about detention - they love it.
Teachers are becoming powerless because of the cane being banned. I am sure many would agree that to bring it back would be a good idea. It is not abuse it is discipline, step out of line and you get whacked and rightly so. It worked once and it can work again.
Perhaps the Daily Echo could help by printing some protest forms for the return of law and order and the return of the cane. It would be a good start and I would be first to sign it.
How much longer are we going to put up with the lack of respect and lack of respect for lives?
