[QUOTE="ThatRobGuy, post: 76295218, member: 123415"] It's not hard for most of us, but rationalizing that sort of enforcement in Singapore is the same type of rationalization that people employ when they try to defend our criminal justice system. "Don't want the $1000 fine and a caning?, don't throw your wrapper on the ground" very closely resembles "Don't want to get beaten by the cops?, quit mouthing off to them when you get pulled over" Both are scenarios where the punishment is disproportionally more severe than the crime. A person shouldn't be caned and have a week's wages taken for spitting on the sidewalk much like a person shouldn't be beaten and tasered for cussing at a police officer. [/QUOTE]
