Originally posted by StarhawkI don’t know how laws are passed in Canada or how the legal system works but looking at what you have provided for evidence and proof to back up you statements I can’t see any judge passing it into law. Even though they follow the law they are still influenced and take into account public opinion, however you claim that I’m thinking with my emotions is irrelevant because one everyone does and you are doing it more than me. You are looking for the revenge factor as a form of punishment and determent however I’m not, I’m looking at what past events and studies have shown. Would I love to put a child molester to death, hell yes but it doesn’t do anything other than making me and the surviving victims fell better.
No, the type of people I will have to sway is a comission of judges known as the Supreme Court of Canada.You think in terms of emotion and humanitarian concern. They think in terms of law and concern for protecting society. Something tells me they will be a more receptive crowd and I will have more support from politicains. Open Debate isn't the only way to get laws changed.
