The Honorable Vice President, Honorable Chief Financial Officer, and Honorable Founding Father Announces the Following...

I believe we should extend the death penalty to crimes of a sexual nature that do not result in death. I believe rapists and pedophilles should be put to death. They never deserve to walk to streets again. In addition, this would reduce the popullation of prisons.

first offenders no death penalty but go over three repeats of your crime and I'll flip the switch or pull the trigger, push the button or push the syringe myself

Personally, I don't think that the sex offenders should get death row, for one of my philophy(sp?) is two wrong doesn't make a right. Although, they should get some serious punishment. If someone got only 2 years for raping a child, then that person wouldn't learn anything from it, right? It's up to the judge and our government system to decided whether or not the sex offender should get a serious punishment, in not let him off too much, but then again, not declare death.

It wouldn't let me open it I'll try again later.
What I find ridiculous is that they list rapists next to people who had sex with their underage bf/gf(who consented) without even specifying who did what.

But also, why do we only blame the pedophile? Unless he raped her or forced her, she conscented (sp?) as well.

I guess they claim that the older person new what he/she was doing, and the kid/teenager didn't(or is not mature enough) so should not be blamed.

It's funny though that you say that, just a couple weeks ago I saw this documentary on tv about 'puritanism in the US'. It was really sick. They talked about the whole Janet Jackson breast incident, but later also talked about how in Louisiana, I can't remember in wich town concretely, anyone who had sex with someone who was under the legal age(even if they consented) could be charged with jail, fines, etc, and also, the other part of the punishment was to humiliate them by puting their name on a public website listed under "sexual predators"(where rapists are also listed). It was ridiculous. You should look it up if you're interested.

Maturity is a HIGHLY personal thing. We can't possibly say there is a magical age in which maturity will be reached. And of course, a 6-14 year old child will know crap, but I'm talking about, say 16+. Of course, I know 18 year olds who sound like they're eleven and I was always told I sounded like I was 30, but those are personal cases.

In general, most teenagers are idiots who just have a huge case of angst. And I accept that and in that case agree the law.

But also, why do we only blame the pedophile? Unless he raped her or forced her, she conscented (sp?) as well.

Celtic,
While nobody here, least of all myself, would say that YOU specifically cannot make your own choices because of your age, the problem is that most people from the age of 11,12,13 or whenever think that they know what is best for them and that they cannot make a wrong choice. A 22 year old is a bit more knowledgeable than a 16 year old due to being alive and having an additional 6 years of this life experience. Most 16 year olds are not mature enough to date anyone, let alone someone whom is old enough to go to a bar or buy them alchohol. If maturity was in the mind of whomever claimed it, 6 year olds would do whatever they wanted, as they feel that they know what is best (if you don't believe me, ask a 6 year old or watch them at play). I honestly think that people do not reach maturity until their late 20's or early 30's, and you can never stop maturing.

Not all pedophiles should be arrested. US society needs to accept the fact that there is an age in a person's life, beggining (sp?) at their teens, that they make choices. I choose to date a 22 year old if I want to, because I have free will, and enough mind to do so.

However, if you're talking about a man going on to children, as in kids, say, under 13 or something, then that's another story.

Ah yes. "Justice." Forget rehabilitation. Forget forgiveness. Let's just kill people we don't like and call it a day.

IF you are for the "eye for an eye" style of justice, then sending rapists and child molesters to prison for life is quite fair. When you go to prison for sex crimes the inmates that are there for more legitimate crimes like murder, theft, drug dealing, etc., look down on you as a pervert and you get "special" treatment. This special treatment ranges from getting daily beatings to getting gang raped or even killed.

i strongly feel that sex abusers should be executed or burnt alive many are of the opinion that we do not have the right to impose a death penalty. but what about the victims of sex abuse?the countless lives that have been destroyed because of the same. one cannot even fathom the mental torture that the victims go through.

Personally I think we should use the same punishment system as did Hammurabi. Eye for an Eye....You raped me. Your punishment: someone will rape you in return........but don't get so excited, You will NOT enjoy it.

You clobbered a guy to death w/ a pitchfork. Someone will clobber you to death w/ a pitchfork.

What goes arounf, comes around

if we did it this way there would be no controversial trials and numerous court proceedings. Much easier.

When you put someone on death row... they are anticipating their death... Now you keep them there for the rest of their lives and theyve gone through all the hell that the victim and family has gone through... If you kill them, then you are giving them an escape from the reality of their crimes... they need to feel every ounce of pain that their victims felt...

I say as long as you can prove they did it, DNA or confession or X amount of eye witnesses, (and have an analysis of the witnesses, including a psych analysis if they are a group to see if it is like the witch burnings claims), then do what you will, and I hope it's something gorey. There should be a progression, too, as far as number of offenses or other factors, the worst one gets drawn and quartered, (dont know how to put that phrase into different tenses to well, sorry).

Sometimes I think that these predators and molestors should be put to death but now I am thinking against it.

I know they have done something wrong and they should pay for it. I know that they are inhuman if they do things like this, but I just don't believe that they should die.

Be tortured by sitting in a while padded cell staring at their victims bodies. Yes.

im for hanging, it makes a better display

I agree with marine16. I think it should be in some public display that would shook and dismay the populace to where less people would do such things. The Guiloteine any one? Chop! Chop!

yeah we should just beat the to death. no money wasted there

The Honorable Honor and Integrity Secretary and Honorable Founding Father Announces the Folloiwng...

It costs more to keep them alive than to kill them? Lets see to keep someone alive - in a maximum security prison - is roughly $35,000 a year, every year. This does not include the money included in appeals and schooling. So lets be honest it probably costs about $40,000 a year. Killing someone puts and end to the $40,000 a year the second they die.
