2 RepliesNo, as with anyone who severely damages another person, physically or emotionally, they forfeit their right to life. However, I also think that it isn't always as clear cut as everyone thinks when someone is declared guilty. Look at the number of false r@pe accusations that end with someone spending years in prison despite doing nothing wrong. If a female claims -blam!-, everyone automatically assumes shes being truthful. I knew a guy who was being blackmailed by his girlfriend and her mom, who said if he didn't give them 500$ a month they would tell the police he -blam!- her. Turns out, that same girl and her mom had pulled the same scam on at least four other guys and we're getting a ton of cash from their victims. Look at the number of cases where an underage individual, despite the law claiming they cannot make decisions for themselves, willingly enter an intimate relationship with someone older. When I was in 6th grade I knew a girl my age (11 or 12, at the time) who always bragged about her 23 year old boyfriend and how they always had sex. Sure, by law he was a pedophile and sex offender, but she was not an unwilling participant. The law likes to forget that human beings can become sexually active and compatible as young as 8 (biologically, a girl's first period marks her becoming sexually mature). The stigma regarding age of consent is a predominantly Christian idea that has permeated a part of our society where religion should have no place.

No. Use them for mine clearance duties.

2 RepliesYes. Unless they are repeat offenders. Then no. If you commit a crime like that once, you should be given ONE chance to redeem yourself by living a good life. If you can't do that, then you have failed.

Yes. Put them in prison in gen-pop and let inmates have their way with them.
-
Yes the first time. Yes the second time, but with the added bonus of genital mutilation, to the point of worthlessness.

It's clearly a genetic defect caused by over population. Yes kill them.

That is a tough call. Emotionally: my response is to kill them slowly over a period of days in the most painful way I can imagine. Logically: there is something wrong with them. Something that can be fixed. I have seen it with the person who victimized me. They got help on the condition that if they stepped a single toe out of line, they would be sent to prison. Today, that person is living a full and happy life as a productive member of society. They regularly check in with their therapist who is confident that the person is now completely harmless. We have even met up for coffee and they apologized to me for what they did. Killing this person would not change what happened. It would not bring closure or anything like that. Hearing that apology and seeing that they have been helped and that they will not do that again, that is a much better outcome. It is one more person to pay taxes, and one less person to be supported by the tax system.

Surely if they have this defective gene or genes that cause them to act this way the best thing to do is to just stop the genetic line.

1 ReplyAs someone who personally experienced this, stiffer sentencing is needed. But they shouldn't be killed.

1 ReplyRapists or people who otherwise sexually force themselves onto others are pretty terrible people.

2 RepliesNot a parent myself but if I had kids, and someone harmed them that way? I'd kill them myself. -blam!- in general is messed up and ruins more than people think but doing that to a child? Hell no.

2 RepliesI believe that any rapist of any kind deserves an immediate death sentence.

I've come to find that words like deserve twist meaning over time. We all deserve something. But to say someone deserves to die? I don't know that anyone necessarily deserves that. Of course I believe they should be punished. Locked away somewhere to ruminate on their mistakes. But I believe that there are two reasons that saying someone deserves to die isn't exactly a valid sentiment: 1) sometimes it's impossible to tell if the person being tried is truly the person who committed the crime or to what extent they were involved. If some people are capable of murder, others are most certainly capable of lying. It's just the way it is. 2) everyone can change for the better. Whether they should be given the chance to prove that change is up to debate, but we all know people who have changed in our lives. All in all, I don't think killing a criminal is truly a solution. Research points out that it does little as a crime deterrent and numerous estimates actually indicate that it's more expensive to execute someone than to jail them for life. Throw in the fact that drug companies are raising the prices of the drugs used due to lowering production, the natural biases we gain through our life experiences towards others, and the presence of crooked law enforcement (a very very small minority, but it's still present) and sentencing people to death just doesn't really make sense anymore. I think our society thinks too much in black and white. Look deeper. Find better answers. Not every mistake should lead to death.

2 RepliesThey shouldn't get the death penalty, if that's what you're asking. No one should.

Anyone who -blam!-s a child should be impaled like Vlad did. They deserve to feel their anus tear and their internal organs violated just as their victim did. And we should find some way to keep them alive on the pole for as long as possible.

Kill them on the spot or put them inside a room with nothing in it. Let them rot in there.
