Just imagine how clean and safe American cities could be if we could punish our citizens the way they do in Singapore.
Over there if you spit on the sidewalk you can be whipped with a cane.That way you will learn not to despoil the environment again.
Spitting could get you a fine, but not the cane.
In the months that I spent there, I only heard about one instance of caning, and that was for a guy who was stalking kids on the internet and making plans with them to meet for sex. There certainly could have been other instances, but it’s not a common thing like a lot of people think.
