  Sensible words, Bern, but I believe the sentiments to be idealism. People have very long memories and don't forgive easily. There's a balance between 'forgive & forget' and being too soft; I happen to be that we're too lenient a society these days and that the (admittedly difficult) balance between the two is far too one-sided in favour of the 'gone soft' option.
  
  I happen to be a firm believer in corporal punishment. It is quickly dealt with and offenders can then move quickly on with their lives - it is also sends out a sharp and painful lesson that there are thresholds that cannot be crossed. Life is about painful lessons, after all.
