Should child rapist be excuted ?

[Sunstroke]

I think that if a person does anything that is bad enough they should be killed.

Whose definition of "bad enough" should we use? Therein lies the rub...

[DolFan619]

it doesn't really matter, as they will be killed within their first week in jail

  That's pretty much true.  Child rapists are pretty much dead men when they go to prison.

Who gets to decide what is "bad enough"? Some people think drug possesion is "bad enough". Others think stealing is "bad enough". I personally think that wearing tie dye is "bad enough". Where's the line?

I will.  Sounds like a good job.

I stood up for you the other day and you do me like this.

Can I fill in on your vacation, sick days, whatever?

I think this is where the "reasonable person standard" comes into play.  I think many reasonable people would think it OK to execute a serial child rapist, whereas I can't think of any reasonable person that would want to execute someone for serial "holding"

Man, do I hate tie dye. I'm on a one woman crusade against it.

I would like to think so, but a lot of "reasonable people" think it's perfectly ok to lock people up for smoking a plant.  Makes ya wonder.

So what you're saying is that the tie dye see through nighties are out?

You better believe it. I HATE TIE DYE.

This question is one of nature or degree. Do you think that murder is of a different nature entirely than serial child rape? If you do, then no amount of child rape will ever equal a murder, and therefore will not warrant death. (i.e. it would be cruel and unusual)

If you consider all evil to be cut of the same cloth, and therefore that this is merely a question of degree, then you'll think that serial child rape is enough to warrant someone's execution by the state.

Maybe someone said all this already. I don't know. I haven't read the whole thread.

I think different evils have a different nature. That's why you can function in society while still being completely under the sway of certain evils (the ones we argue over, like pornography, drugs, etc) while other evils are such a metaphysical bombardment that they strip you of your ability to function in society... at least in my view.

We've gone three pages for a question that should have only had a one word answer..."yes."

It's not just a rapist, it's a child rapist..."yes"

In the most expeditious and least expensive manner possible.

Really? Then why would they need a law for sex offenders to register when they   get out? 

I'd give you all some first hand experiences but:

A)  I'll be called a racist somewhere down the line

B) Might cause thread drift and get the thread closed.......

Please start a new thread.  I'd love to hear first-hand experience from a LEO.

Dude, seriously.  Let this go.  This has to be the 10th time I have seen you make mention of this, you're starting to sound like a bitter 10th grader that was told they couldn't go out to a party and had to stay home and study.  Move on, man.  It wasn't that big of a deal.
