In Colorado, recreational marijuana (without a medical prescription) is taxed at 40%. We were the first state to fully legalize with the high taxes going into our public schools. Yesterday, we voted to fully fund free school lunches. Last election, it was all day kindergarten without payment. Lots of weed money to spend

I live in Texas and while my kids were in school between 2001-2013, corporal punishment in our school district was allowed by default but only could be administered by the vice principal or principal of the campus. Parents had the ability to refuse that punishment authority but we had to submit a signed form each year to ensure it was not used.

We definitely got paddlings in school when I was a kid (80s/90s) in Texas. Behavior has a demerit system. We were given green cards for acting up (so a warning.) 2 green demerits equaled a red demerit. And like in soccer, you could also get an immediate red demerit for acting up particularly "bad". Getting a red meant you were sent directly to the principals office, where he'd use an old ping pong paddle to whip your ass. Usually after lunch there'd be a line of kids waiting outside his office, crying, waiting for their ass whipping.

I'd bet most places require parental consent forms to allow using the "board of education" these days because it'd be an instant lawsuit without written consent. My grandpa was a school principal from the 60's-80's, and he talked about breaking multiple paddles (using them) over the years, ending sometime in the 70's. The shop class made him new paddles as needed, even drilling holes in them to reduce air resistance. He prided himself on lifting football players off the ground and hopefullymaking them cry. (He was especially proud of that because he had polio as a boy, so had physical disabilities, including a pronounced limp due to one leg being 5 inches shorter and the foot significantly smaller, which got him exempted from WWII service) He only paddled the boys, as the teachers paddled girls.Really weird was when I was a 911 operator, one cop I worked with noticed my last name and asked if I was related to him. When I told him yes, he responded "Your grandpa paddled me! But I deserved it. And now I'm a cop.. so I guess it worked."

7:01 It might surprise Dave to know that CANING wasn't made illegal in Britain until around the year 2000. For government run schools corporal punishment became illegal in 1987. Privately run schools had to abandon corporal punishment in 1999 (for England and Wales), the year 2000 for Scotland, and 2003 in Northern Ireland. I was caned at school several times back in the 1970s while living in England. The canes used were approximately 1m long and about as big around as a regular walking stick. The strikes were not on the bottom but onto the naked skin at the small of the back. The process left welts which wept blood and then scabbed over in the following days. It didn't fully heal over for about 2-3 weeks.

2:47 Oh it is nice to hear an absolutely cohesive Office Blokes laugh!

i got whipped by my dad, and i got swats in school, my dad would’ve handed the paddle to the teacher and said “be my guest to lay on some discipline, there’s no judgement here” 😂

People still get spanked in school more than you would think lol, especially in religious based private schools and down here in the south. Typically highschoolers don't get spanked and would just get suspended but as for middle school and younger it's still definitely a thing.

The guy who won the last Mullet Championship is from where I live, everyone around here is going crazy about it lol.

Corporal punishment story. I went to a Catholic school and my teacher was legitimate named Sister Serafica. When she walked in we said "Welcome to Seraphic Park." She wasn't amused and we got our asses beat. We loved dinosaurs, she didn't like jokes.

Even with legal weed I still buy it from the black market 100% of the time. I refuse to pay the government money for something that they locked me in a cage for just a decade ago.

There’s a form you can fill out in America for whether your child can get paddled or not

I’ve never witnessed spanking in school. If a teacher sneezed the wrong way a kid would be triggered. I can’t imagine spanking would go over well.

"You maverick you!" Lmao Mike.

8:33 it got rated everything from "shite" to "fucking shite".

Devin is a lawyer and really good at explaining law in the US (many states are different). So he has many law licenses in different states. Also, he is very entertaining.

Hi Blokes, I wanted to bring up a point about Britney Griner is 1) She’s AfricanAmerican 2) She’s a woman 3) she’s gay . Now what part of that does she say to herself , I’ll bring my illegal drugs into Russia. Logic says Putin needed a pawn. Being an American myself , we know she did not bring drugs into Russia , she had to leave the US, they look for drugs when you leave on flights too. Drug sniffing dogs, Do know what I mean ? Thanks Blokes, you rock .

About paddling in school, it's been 20+ years since I was in high school but it was allowed then but only if a parent signed a form saying they could. The principal and vice principal were the only ones who did the actual paddling and they made sure everyone saw the massive wooden paddle on display in their office. I don't know how often it was used but for some offenses I know they usually gave the student a choice of either the paddle or a call to the parents.

Never heard of anyone getting hit buy their teacher. Teachers aren’t even allowed to touch (hug) the kids let alone hit them😂

I’m so glad y’all wanna watch the mullet championship it’s awesome. There are videos foresure def would watch

The idea is more psychological. Violence breeds resentment and opposition. The child will become more angry, they will look for ways around you. They will try to impress and resist you. Violence with children is the beginning of a bad behaviour extravaganza.

I was paddled about every other week in school during the late ‘70s into the ‘80s. Some of those teachers took pride into being known as the hardest hitters.

We got swats so much in grade school in the 1970s and 80s...we had a swat contest 6th grade year, I finished tied for 2nd with 16 while my friend Nick Ensor won with a whopping 19, we even took the 6th grade teachers hardest swat at the end of the year and got to etch our names on the dreaded paddle named Kilroy Jr, Kilroy was the paddle we got hit with during the year, Jr was narrower and had holes drilled in it, Mr Sherwood, Garfield Grade School, class of 1986...the louder the swats were, the tougher you looked walking back in the class not crying.

Both of my sons (now 20 and 17), have had their mullet since about 7 or 8. They began calling it Hockey Hair when they were younger. My youngest decided to let his grow, rather than a "sumer time" trim, for the pas 2 years and it's now longer than his girlfriends.

You linked Lavish Luka's reaction in the description lol

When I was in the 10th grade, I went to a private Southern Baptist school in Florida. They had a strict dress code and I couldn't find my belt that morning. I had to let a grown-ass man beat my ass with a paddle because I didn't have a belt on. Good ol' Christian values. No wonder I'm an atheist today. I actually almost had it happen a second time, but an unbelievably hot girl lent me a strap off her backpack to wear as a pseudo belt to escape punishment. So, you know, that rule was super important (hence the spankings) yet you could get by with a neon orange backpack strap as a "belt" apparently.

I am thankful that my father and my mother corrected bad behavior with a good spanking or a smack. If you don't think that your children need those corrections to learn hard lessons that there are lines you do not cross then you probably have one of those children who went and destroyed a painting or walk into a grocery store pouring milk out all over the floors or glued yourself to some guy's factory floor like an idiot blocking traffic so people who need to go to work can't get there or screaming fascist racist and call me at conservatives who don't believe in any of those things you demand equality but yet want to silence others and think you have the right to do so because nobody ever put you in your place and showed you there is a line in society you do not cross. Again I thank my parents for the discipline

@12:09 I wish my plants grew that fast!.. I live in a city and state where its legal both for medicine and recreation. I'm allowed to grow four plants for my own use. And to even have X amount of grams on my person. I can't remember how many because I'm stoned right now. But if I get stopped by a cop and they find like a gram on me, so long as I'm not smoking it on public and just have it on me. Then its not a crime. Its just like having a bottle of booze in your car. If its closed and sealed up, then its cool. But if its open and looks like you've been pounding it. Then jail it is.

I got the shit beat out of me at school by coaches and principals. They said they drilled holes in the paddle for aerodynamics.

Wait, in Australia you have to show up to vote and verify that you were there but don't have to actually vote? That's shady af. That's like a blank check for any party to fill out.

Don't forget the Mullet Championship!

When I was a kid I lived in Memphis, Tennessee, and in 1st grade, we had a little bathroom in our classroom. It was essentially just a small box room in the corner with a toilet in it. There was a kid being a bit loud and energetic, you know, like what kids do at that age, and the teacher got upset. After giving a single warning, she walked over to the window where she had a pedestal for her decorated paddle. It was essentially a smaller cricket bat with holes throughout the whole thing for less resistance. She took him into the little bathroom and all you heard was.......*smack*.....*screaming and crying*......*smack*......*screaming and crying*......*smack*.......*crying*. Then they came out with this kid's face beat red with snot and tears running down his face. Teacher: "Have you learned your lesson?" Kid: *nods* then lays down back at is seat. Teacher: "Remember kids, if you're good and well behaved, I won't have to use this." Sooooooo, glad that was aloud. We really learned our lesson to not act our ages, it's better to lie if there's a chance to not be spanked, and adults are perfectly willing to hurt us if they're upset. What a great policy to help develop socially adjusted kids.

Speaking of which the state of Maryland has just passed an amendment legalizing recreational Marijuana

Considering griner admitted to bringing the THC fluid into the country this is not a claim or trumped-up charges she broke the law and admitted to it because she got caught.

I would take anything preppy Eagle says with a boulder of salt.

16:00 Right on Daz, and the fuckin' horses too

Taxing Cannabis at 20% would make SFA difference to the UK economy. If there were not untaxed Cannabis and all consumption was via sources that paid tax. It is easy to think you can solve the countries problems when they are not held up to scrutiny or if no one checks your figures. £2.6 Billion of Cannabis is consumed annually in the uk so a 20% tax is 520 Million which sounds like a lot until you learn that is around 1/2000th of all Taxes collected in the UK each year. So if this 520 million was collected for every £20 the Government has to distribute they would gain an extra penny. Not seeing how that would solve everything..

My dad used to say if you get in trouble at school dont expect to be not in trouble at home...I only got spanked a couple of times because I learned that if you behaved you didnt get it...and that was a very good thing for all eight of us kids...we also had the rule that if one got in trouble we all we equally punished which made my other sisters and my brother keep the rest of us in line...it only took a couple of times to get us all in line and we were good kids all of our lives...it didnt kill us and it taught us how to behave ...its not a bad thing

In 2021 California made $1.2 billion from taxing weed. They use that money for schools and free lunches for every kid.

We may not do it much in the U.S.A. but we do not EVER AGREE with the government intruding on our freedom.

Even in states that have corporal punishment in schools, the school needs to have permission from the parent first. I went to one of these schools before I moved to a sane state in 1992. Don't ask me how many felons came out of that school, ask me how many normal people came out of that school, it'd be easier to count. We can't even get teachers and school staff to teach, why would we allow them to discipline our kids?

As a kid, I got everything from a smack in the mouth to getting the belt..This was the late 70's and early 80's and most of it was because of my Mexican heritage. Mexican moms didn't mess around. One time when I was around maybe 10 years old my father was telling me something. And like most American kids, I mouthed off to him and told him he was crazy. Within two seconds my mother flew across two rooms and smacked me in the mouth. And I'll tell you what, I never mouthed off again. And I also learned something. Manners. My parents disciplining me like that didn't traumatize me or make me abusive as an adult. Its the opposite. It taught me to have respect for others.

When I was in grades 6,7&8, our school principle had a wooden paddle that he used on our behinds. If a teacher sent a student to the principal, for any reason, the kid got smacked with the paddle. This was in Iowa, where it's now illegal.

American here - illegal weed is cheaper than the legalized marijuana

Speaking of pot, I don't partake, but a friend whom works for the second largest edibles company in Colorado (so a billion or multi billion dollar company annually) accidentally spilled 1000mg of pure THC on herself. Even with her tolerance, ya girl was fubared, but in no actual physical danger.

School personal spanking hasn't been practiced in over 30 years. At least I haven't heard of it anywhere since I was a kid in the 80's.

I graduated high school in 1995 in Oklahoma. My teachers carried their paddles and even gave them names. My 7th grade year I got "licks" almost daily out in the hallway. One of my 7th grade teachers hated me for some reason. My 9th grade year I made a deal with my drafting teacher to get a C average without doing any work for licks every day after his class. He didn't do it daily, only when I was loud or got in his nerves but he did give me the C at the end of each semester. I wasn't a good student in high school but was into sports. I look back now and see that they didn't do me any favors by making sure I had passing grades so I could play baseball. I did go on to be a better student in college though. Small schools in this state are already littered with the worst teachers so we were at a disadvantage going on to college.

They say we have lots of rights and freedoms here in Canada as well. We have the legal right to go out at night, but a lot of people won't because of fear. We have the right to use a bike for transportation, but few do as it will likely get stolen. We have freedom of speech, but say the wrong thing in front of the wrong person and you may get stabbed. So laws don't necessarily translate to freedom.

There's video footage of her and marijuana she's guilty

As far as spanking in school, in Missouri, if it does happen it's only in the rural areas. Think schools with like 50 kids total k-12. But even then I haven't ever heard of it, not that I'm real researched on it.

I got a paddling in school back in 97. 3 swats to the bum

Are any countries legalizing weed??? Like half of America has legalized it and it's pretty much a forgone conclusion that it will be legal across the entire country soon. I never hear of other countries trying to legalize it.

Spankings by teachers were legal in Michigan at least up until the late 80s. I remember being sent to the principal's office for misbehaving and seeing the paddle hanging on the wall, I never got the spanking because my mother wouldn't allow it

This was really enjoyable. I like this guy's dry sense of humor and he's very articulate. Idk who he is but if he is an actual lawyer, he was certainly born with a silver tongue.

In america spankings never happen the most recent use was in 2019 in Boston

Hey guys love your content and wanted to give my insight. I’m a new teacher in Texas and from what I’ve seen corporeal punishment is legal but not enforced. We send the documents home asking for consent but even if parents consent we never use it.

Actually was watching Rugby final half of the Australian team had a mullet

I feel like these days spanking just isn't going to happen. Even if the parents were fine with it, kids these days aren't going to go for it. When your mom spanks you, you're not going to fight back because she's your mom, but if your geography teacher tries to spank you, you'll crack him across the jaw.

Griner was moved to a penal colony!

The parent has to give permission at the beginning of every year to allow or not allow their child to be paddled

Generation X kid here. My parents believed in corporal punishment, and I'm glad they did! My dad used to use his college fraternity paddle (wooden), and I used to joke that the Greek letters were permanently tattooed on my backside somehow, lol. When he passed away I hung that paddle on a wall in my house. It tends to remind me to stay on the straight and narrow. Yesterday (11/8) was Election Day in 32 U.S. states Missouri is a state that had already legalized medicinal marijuana a few years ago. Yesterday, Missouri passed a law to legalize marijuana for recreational use. Happy Hump Day, Office Blokes! :)

My grade-school principal had a paddle with holes in it mounted behind his desk. He pointed this out whenever I was in his office (cuz I was a smart-ass l'il shit) and I probably earned being smacked by it several times. He never did, but the symbolism has stuck with me these many decades since. 😜

He also has a video that's the "opposite", what's illegal in the US but typically legal everywhere else.

I haven't seen a mullet here in south Texas for a long time. I hope it doesn't come back here.

We have weed stores everywhere where I live. I live in a tourist town so there are many high tourists.

I'm in Texas 90s and the 2000s and they paddled at school and no one was ever upset. As my parents would say you probably deserved it and then you got paddled at home.

legal but not practiced. Parents would lose their minds.

the spankin thing, if ther's alphabet people and lunatics, there's no spanking going on outside of fetish groups.

It's now legal to shoot someone with an AR-15? Not sure I understood the opening joke lol.

Most kid without spanking specifically this generation, tend to grow up entitled, and disrespectful to the parents are higher authority

We get proof that we voted in Ohio too. It's a sticker...

UK dude got 25 years then 10 for CBD???? holy shiiiet!!!..I live in Washington and Oregon..the amount of Weed around me my whole life and now stores on literally every corner on many streets and cities jus welcoming u to get all and any type of strain n form u want..its so weird seeing the rest of world's policies, even CBD! thats insane. its literally so legal here its promoted with suburban families to use..NW is the best, for many reasons..i don't even smoke really much anymore, its jus great for many reasons..which is why everyone has moved here damnt:(

Smart mouth? That's a paddlin'. Definitely an option at my and every other school nearby growing up, aside from perhaps some private establishments that didn't. The potential for such punishment was known to all the parents for sure, and exceptions/requests against it for specific kids could and would be made, but that was pretty rare, in my experience. I can recall a particular coach and P. E. teacher that was generally hated when in elementary school that seemed to really get off on it, even had a particular student he would sometimes walk out of sight (any real corporal punishment was never done openly either) and pretend to paddle very loudly if the group was getting rowdy in his opinion. I'll be 38 on the 29th of this month for reference

I know lots of people in the US that do not vote because they don't want to be selected for jury duty.

I remember getting paddled in elementary school lol I turned out fine. I've spanked my son and whatever he did to get spanked, he didn't do it again

I received a leather belt that scared ja more than anything. Then my mother would go cry on the porch. That was worse. ... but the best part was she had a studded leather belt hanging on a hook right next to the spanking belt. That, to me, was the nuclear deterrent. Funny part was she confessed, when I told her about that years later, it was a complete coincidence ... she had no intention of ever using that for discipline. ... but my snotty kid self sure through it was.😆

There is no such thing as a WNBA "super star."

About the voting thing: I think it would be more effective to give someone smth for voting compared to punishing someone for not voting. Like give out smth at the voting booths that u can send in with ur tax and u get 20$ tax write off or smth similar.

I'm shocked to hear that parents have the right to spank their children when black mothers have lost custody of their children for a whole year after giving them a spanking and then the child telling on the mother or grandmother because they didn't want to be corrected. smhsmhsmh

Griner was recently transferred to a work camp

We had corporal punishment in school. it may seem bad, but it wasn't because you had the choice and "swats" was the easy way out. Most children given the choice to choose between 3 quick swats or a full 3 days in ISS or after-school detention would just take the 3 swats. They cannot give you both punishments and the child has to choose. It was the same as getting a spanking at home or getting grounded for a month, you know what you're going to choose. I think it's a good exercise in decision-making for children.

Wow. You guys are reacting to Legal Eagle 😮😊😊. Well done

Born and raised in California, lived in texas during high school, parent have to sign an agreement acknowledging the paddling of their child being a possibility lol got a few licks (slang for being paddled) in my day 🤣

Do Uk vs Us Heinz products, Oreos, Starbucks any video.

About not voting, a large amount of Americans just couldn't care who becomes president and by forcing them to vote anyway, would cause them to likely just vote for whoever to get it over with and effect the election in a way people who do care wouldn't like

I only ever saw one kid get paddled at school. It was 8th grade in 1998 or 1999

We got paddled in Louisiana back in the 80's. And if dad found out, we usually got spanked again when we got home. The parent did have the right to sign a form forbidding the practice though.

So...if a teacher hit ne, I xould have them arrested for battery, but if they hit my child...all good with the law. GTFOH! This country is ao ass backwards sometimes.

Legal Eagle - he does some good videos

on weed and licenses is weird. im in washington state and we were one of the top to legalize weed (not the first) and it has been a boom of income but cause they have messed up the licenses and laws it has rough times. my neighbor just moved cause of the taxes she was paying in this county. she has moved to another county about 30-40 minutes away and she can grow more there and pay less taxes on the more she makes. its the same state so why. we arent in a city here so why the high taxes? this is a problem in all the states where weed can be grown. people that know nothing making rules about it.

I may be speaking out of turn cause I was born in 1982, I got a paddling when I was 9-10 so 1992 or so. That was the last time I got in trouble at school. And, my parents agreed with the principal when he told them what I did. My dad on the other hand, he had a belt. So when I messed up I got the belt until I wised up. My younger brother on the other hand took a few times even when I told him what was coming and where he messed up. We’re both fine grown adults now so I agree with it

I think a good butt paddling would go a long way with correcting the spoiled children that think they can get away with anything...its not going to kill them and it might just detour them from misbehaving in the future...just for the humiliation alone...I agree with spanking an unruly child...sometimes its the only alternative when they are out of control...it dosnt kill them and it certainly teaches them a hard lesson that being bad has consequences

Legal Eagle!!

Parents sign a permission form if they're okay with spanking at school. It still existed when I was a kid, no idea about these days.

Yeah if your an American going to Russia especially famous the last thing I would do is well visit Russia but if you do certainly don’t take drugs

in schools parents have to sign paper whether they allow or not their child to be spanked

Dictatorships use enforced voting to identify protesters and to arrest/detain/torture depending on the situation plus they are probably forced to a choice at the polling centers. I know that is the case in Syria, I think that happens in other dictatorships as well.

We don’t smoke dirt weed from Mexico

Hey! Mullets are people too!!

LOL you should react to reefer madness
