Louisiana child rapist on death row.

Yeah. US = barbaric. What des it matter that there are worse?

I was just curious if that is what you meant.

Another question, as far as your ethics of "not killing people", how ethical is it to lock a person up in a small cell until they die? It could be argued that being caged forever is far worse than death.

And?

"And?" what? What are you "and"ing about? I made several points. A blanket "And?" doesn't make much sense either since I reveled two sides of a coin.

If I wasn't a father, I would still feel the same way. However, I agree with dadudemon's statement about how it's easy to see things from a different angle when you are, in fact, a parent.

I made that point already and cited a somewhat popular short story about that point. "The Bet"

How many people do you think would honestly prefer the death penalty for themselves than the being locked up?

It could be. And I'd give every person in this world the choice to be assisted in killing themselves if they don't want to endure it (or anything).

Not sure, I'd guess less would prefer death.

Being a parent might change ones outlook, what does it matter to rational debate though?

Easy to say, sir, if you're not a father, in my opinion.

That's a good point. I would assume that it wouldn't be a 50/50 type of thing as was indirectly implied by "The Bet"

Yeah, also logical. I don't deny that I might wish for vengeance if a I or a person dear to me got wronged, it does not change the truth of the matter though. I might want people to be killed in my wrath, but it doesn't make it right or intelligent. How am I different to them if I kill or let kill them when they are harmless?

So you would be in favor of a "self induced" death penalty, then?

[b]Supreme Court weighs death for child rapists

Court to consider whether death is fair — or cruel and unusual punishment

SLIDELL, La. - When the news broke last month that a janitor had been arrested and accused of raping boys in the bathroom at an elementary school, the issue of justice and retribution became the talk around dinner tables and baseball fields.

Castrate him, some said. No, let the other inmates deal with him. No, execute him.

Castration and jailhouse vigilantism are out of the question, but putting a child rapist to death is within the bounds of Louisiana law.

Full Story

LoL. [/B]

Also, anyone who doesn't agree is as ****ed up as he is.

kill him and mutilate his body. The sick man should be tortured and raped for this. And if he doesn't like it, tough. He shouldn't have raped those children.

Also, anyone who doesn't agree is as ****ed up as he is.

I think he should have the same thing done to him as he did to those children. It's sad that kids cant even play outside without some sick f*ck staring at them. Anybody, man or woman, that does this kind of sh*t to an innocent child deserves to die.

Being raped by himself?

Doubt he'd mind.

I've never agreed with the government having the power to take away someones life. The whole point of the prison system is to keep threats to society away from that which they are a threat to. What exact reasons are there to kill someone for committing crimes? Revenge, that's all it boils down to, that's not something that government should have any part in whatsoever.

You bring up an interesting point with 'government & revenge.' What would you say to a system where the murdered (raped in this case) victims family gets to decide if they want the person dead; if so they're the ones that have to pull the trigger, inject the needle, flip the switch, what have you?
