I am certain that everyone here has noticed the recent events in India, where a young student died last night, who was brutaly gang raped and beaten by 6 men with iron rods before.

This crime sparked widespread protest in India, where a woman is raped almoust every 20 minutes and authorities long didn`t seem to care much.

Some of the protester call for mandetory death penalty for rapists. And following the story I have noticed that in alot of comments various people from different national backgrounds also demand the death penalty to be interduced in their country.

Personaly I think that in tragic events emotional reactions and the political demands coming from such can ofter be irrational.
Whilest finding the situation for women in India horrible, I do not believe that the death penalty would be a solution to the problem, since the main cause of the problem was that the laws in place were oftern not inforced.

Your thoughts?

I'm voting 'no' mostly because I think we should do away with the death penalty altogether.

I am against death penalty for many reasons, probably leftist, but I wish there was a hell for them.

Yes. Seems to be the only thing that will stop these morons.

Apologies to all sensible males who are capable of keeping their dicks in their pants.

An infinite punishment for a finite crime? Seems about as fair as god's stupid rules.

Fairness is not my priority in punishment, the priority is prevention.

For your info, there's no hell.

I'd just happily let them get raped in jail for the rest of their lives.

One thought....

What if it was legal for the victim to cut off the offender's penis??




Would THIS be a sufficient deterrent for the illiterate?

I'd be happy if they got raped repeatedly in prison, but I wouldn't wish for anyone to have their penis cut off... The thought makes me squirm too much.

But it would make the victim feel soooo much better!! and may act as a better deterrent than the current system.

It only has to happen a few times maybe
