should rapists get the death penalty ?

i'm not particularly civilized, i think that should be pretty obvious. i'm pretty sure i'm feral. comes from having no parents around, i think.

 

I think rapists should be released of their sins

 

then what?

 

Actually believe it or not that's not true. Legally taking someone's life is extremely expensive with legal fees etc. It's often cheaper to keep someone in prison for life than to execute them or at least not cost prohibitive. Not just the execution legal fees but often it takes over a decade to carry out that penalty anyway so you get normal fees plus the execution bill.

They're in an entirely different section of the prison actually. Generally completely isolated from anything so the normal population cells are unaffected.

I'd say given our history with executions, especially viewing states like Texas and Virginia where executions are common and railroaded this really isn't true unfortunately. I lived in Virginia for over ten years and the consensus generally is retribution even after the person is dead. There's still that sense of loss that taking another person's life doesn't get rid of. It's a kind of pride of victimhood. And I'd say it's a very national thing and part of what fills up the prisons in the first place.

This is very true.

just out of curiosity what's a fiddler? I've never heard that term. Is it like a crazy glue sniffing violin player?

That was a good post John, thanks!

 

A fiddler is short for kiddy-fiddler, slang word for child molester.

 

ew.

 

Chemical castration? Fucking hell, some of you people really have some problems if your perception of revenge is greater than justice.

Capital punishment is wrong in all forms and stands for no justice.

 

it's effective in certain rehabilitation situations with rapists. but not all. they just find somethin else to rape a body with.

 

Chemical castration. Once they have cut it off, the balls that is, there is no build up of testorone or something. Therefore this is a cutting edge way to treat such offenders. Cutt off balls, problem solved. In today's climate, what is right anymore? Britain has gone to the dogs, so I have become apathetic of late.

 

of late? is this a 'new' trend, supposedly. :tongue:

 

What are we gonna castrate the dogs too??

I think capital punishment is wrong.

 

Well rape is not usually about sex, more about the power someone has over the other. So I'm sure this wouldn't really solve anything, like someone said if someone is going to violate someone in that way they will find other means.

 

What a lovely concept to entertain everybody with.

Hate posts just suck.

"Look at me ain't I wonderful, I want to kill nasty people"

i was under the impression that chemical castration was done with actual medication. for a few, it's actually been a relief. for most it just adds to their frustration.

 

STUPID TROLL ALERT!!!
*IGNORE THE BONEHEAD TROLL*

 

And when they are dead exactly how will they have any power over anyone again? (not that I agree with your pop psychology analysis that you read on the back of a popcorn packet)

 

i've never actually liked that analogy. it is about sex, it's about showing your power over someone by forcing....SEX. if it was just about power and not sex, they'd beat the shit out of you or ruin your life some other way.

 

Well seeing as I have worked with many sex offenders and rapists I think I have a good idea about why some of them do what they do obviously it cannot be the same for every person who wants to go around raping people!

Also, I was not talking about dead people, so my 'pop psychology' would not relate here.

 

i dont think anyone has to go death. i'm a victim and i still wouldn't put the man to death. i beleive that people can change, and/or if they dont, be put to fate. but i still beleive ina law system. I do not beleive that anyone should be put to death throught laws hands

 

Untrue, prisoners on death row in America cost significantly more on average than other prisoners because the system must attempt to be as certain as possible that the person it's killing is actually guilty of the crime before punishment is exacted, because afterwards it's too late. Thus there are multiple and lengthy appeals processes which cost the taxpayer a phenomenal amount. The only way it would save the taxpayer money is if you executed the convict immediately after sentencing and offered no right of appeal. I'm pretty sure that's not your suggestion, but if it is, you might find Stalinist justice more to your taste than the justice of modern, liberal democracies....
