Punishments

I've been trying to get onto blogger for forever tonight....and finally...I'm in...I can blog! Finally!

The world is getting upset with North Korea for testing nuclear stuff. Well, as much as I agree that North Korea should not be doing that...But I think that imposing sanctions on North Korea is not going to work. It has been well reported that it is the North Korean Govt that wants to do the testing and not the citizens. On top of that, most of us know that a certain dictator there is living very well with a couple of wives...And it's the poor people that are suffering.To me...a lay person...It seems that the sanctions are going to punish the common people and not at the people that actually want to test those stuff.

It brings me to the point that parents punish their kids or the society punish kids but its not really the fault of the kids. Parents that have no parenting skills, bring up ill breds that are a menace to the society. And then they get into trouble with the law. And at the court....the parents go...'Oh, but he's such a good kid.'But in reality, the kid have gotten into so much trouble when he was younger. But why are the parents not punished for their crime but the kid is? If the parents can't raise the child well, how would the child know how to grow up to be a fine person?

Are punishments truly fair then? Well, parents are not much into spanking their kids these days as they are afraid they might turn violent...But the bible says, Spare the rod and spoil the child. So what is then fair punishment? In all honesty, I don't know.....
