Off Topic but interesting me thinks
Tue, 17 Feb 2009, 03:30 pmSomething I read in today's West Australian which tickled me...
Supposedly in Korea they have found a way to both minimise "wrong doers" and the make good use of Paparazzi - Pay the Paparazzi to take snaps of "wrong doers".
Just when you thought is was safe to do a little shop-lifting...
Just make sure no-one has their mobile phone whe you do.
Right, I'm done.

This has been done in Asia
Tue, 17 Feb 2009, 03:43 pmThis has been done in Asia for ages; for lesser offences, the use of 'shame' is imposed as a way of both atoning for the offence and prevention of further crimes. Since the concept of honour is important in most Asian cultures, it's supposed to be very effective in prevention (or at least that's what I learned in sociology 101 at uni).
Actually it's kind of like taking your kid to the store owner to apologise for stealing the stick of gum; only only a larger scale.
