He is a fool, but I actually like their music.

Aaron, custodial sentences don't seem to work, but perhaps if they realised their dream of being famous in America won't happen they might think twice.
Or maybe I'm over simplifying it, but it does seem that a lot of youngsters these days just want to be famous.
Anyhow, Celebrity Big Brother's on, so gotta go....
People who commit crimes never think they're going to get caught, so it probably wouldn't have much affect. Or is it effect?

Well, what I mean is that they wouldn't be likely to understand how much of a barrier it would be.

Effect.
It affects them. The effect is obvious to others. etc.

I think if teenagers were told that if they gang-rape, murder, deal in drugs etc, they won't be able to collect their Oscars, M-TV awards, or even appear on Oprah, it might make them think twice about commiting the crime in the first place.
They seem to think it's their birth-right to be famous, but if they can't enter the US, how are they going to record that multi-platinum album with Jay-Z?

That and he sent death threats to a radio one listener a couple of weeks make.
Nana-die!
Public floggings are the answer.
Seriously.

That's brutal. Surely we live in a society that doesn't need to resort to barbarism to solve our crime.

I thought it was Affect.
I need to do some research, or at least read the original post properly

What if they're flogged about the head with the flaccid penises of their 80-year-old victims? No physical harm ...

Effect is a noun. Affect is a verb. That's how I remember it.
Always assuming I can deconstruct sentences properly, and remember which is which...
