It's quite a lot of outrage for corporal punishment.  Your acting as if the nurse was a nurse at Auschwitz or something.

Which actually is a great example of just how far most people really would go under such circumstances.

Most people are a lot more docile to authority then you'd think.  You very likely aren't any different.  This afterall was MUCH less then say what was portrayed in the Milgrim expierement.

It's rather unfair to show such anger and rage at people when in reality you would likely act the same way.

 

True, most people are willing to do terrible things when pushed in the right ways. Hell, most people are willing to become mass murderers under wartime.

But there are/were people who weren't like the most, like this man: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Arndt_Pekurinen

I don't know whether I'll be able to hold on to my principles as long as he did, and I'll probably be never really tested for those since Finland has a viable alternative to being drafted, but I'm sure as hell going to try.

Most people i'm sure "try".  The expierments on it afterall do have people object.  It's just they are generally coaxed otherwise.

While such expierments involved WORSE negative impacts on those involved who are totally innocent, for no perceviable goal.

Unlike this situation.   Where the act was very minimal, it was done with minors who committed serious crimes and violated probation, with the goal to make sure these people don't screw up their lives as adults.

The comparison you draw is quite drastically different.  "As you don't eat men their is no point in butchering them."

Here there was a point, and it's something that wasn't fatal, and really should never be fatal... hence the nurse being on hand.
