I've actually contemplated the use of flogging as a viable alternative towards judicial punishment of minor crimes considering the ridiculous amount of time some people get sentenced for when being found guilty of them, provided the accused is given the choice of the two options of course. I mean who wants to spend 10+ years in cell just for doing something really dumb like stealing from a convenience store while being a dumb teenager when you could face a couple of lashes, spend a few months recovering from them and living with the shame of your actions while hopefully learning from your mistake and finding a way to get your life back on track. Is it really cruel and unusual given some long sentences are given out because of corporatism. 
So what does this guy have to say-

Freshman Sen. Dwayne San Nicolas is working on a bill that, if enacted into law, would allow “caning,” or whipping one’s buttocks with a piece of wood as an additional punishment for violent crimes such as rape, murder and armed robbery.

...where the fuck does this Krampus in a Santa skin suit think he lives?! Singapore!? He may be from and be a representative of Guam but its still a US territory last I checked and they still follow US Codes and Laws and as far I'm concerned dealing corporal punishment on top of a prison sentence falls under cruel and unusual. Because how long after they start implementing that do they begin considering using it a regular disciplinary measure?
How about caning politicians when they get nothing done?! Oh yeah, and how about making them take random drug tests because they get paid with taxpayer funds? And if they don't pass the test that they had to pay for out of their own pocket, cane them! >

Why is CHamoru Santa so angry and/or trying to make his bdsm kink policy? >

Came here to ask if he meant candy caning. >

Here my dumbass read this as “canning” like the criminals would be forced to manually can goods for the homeless or somethin. >

No, the miscreants aren't to PERFORM canning, but to BE canned. In brine, vodka, heavy syrup, whatever. Yeah brine, for pickled politicians. Then I recall a cartoon of Bob Dill, the Singing Pickle with a Nobel. 8-) >

How well does caning work as a deterrent? Any statistics? Why not just apply a horse whip, for REAL pain? Or lock-em in the stocks for a few days, hey? >

It seems to work in Singapore, but then, Singapore is a relatively small island nation with other unique cultures and a host of problems. >

Singapore authorities may administer many canings, but to what effect? Got any statistics? >

It's Pacific Islander Matt Walsh >

Ever since I learned Al Capone dropped out of school because when a teacher hit him, he hit the teacher back, I've found the idea of corporal punishment working even more ridiculous >

I believe there was a senator in the 1850s who caned another senator. >

Yes, Charles Sumner! >

he was the canee, Preston Brooks was the caner >

OMFG……you should have to have a psych evaluation to even run for office. >

anyone proposing corporal punishment is garbage. >

They really like whipping some boys ass >

Today I learned Guam has a legislature composed of (checks notes) 15 senators serving a population of about 170,000 people. >

He has probably also volunteered to be the one that administers the canings.
