I say stick with cainings. Make them earn their signature. I don't think it's barbaric to spank a kid just to show them that there are physical as well as passive punishments for certian actions, so what would be wrong with spanking an adult? For some, prison or fines is nothing but a slap on the wrist. Normally I am a pacifist, but under these circumstances I would be willing to support some physical punishment, so long as the effect wears off. Cutting off thumbs is obviously wrong, and I'll be in Vegas in a heartbeat to protest if this gets any serious attention.
