Death penalty for rapists?

[Aractus]

Good spot. Unfortunately it was just an editing error where I removed part of a quote (just the wrong part). The words in the quote are actually those of CapnAwesome.

Yes I know, but I still found it funny. Your actual post was good though.

Ah shucks, no torture? Too bad. My first impulse toward those thug rapists in India is to get the anvil and hammer ready. Of course, the problem with preventing an imperfect and too often biased or even corrupt system of justice from implementing extreme sentences on the wrong people would prevent my signing off on torture any more than I can on the death penalty. It just galls me to provide these monsters with three hots and a cot after they've inflicted so much damage on another human being.

Well if death and torture are off the table, how about indentured servitude with all income going to the family of the victim? The work would not have to be physically difficult and potentially dangerous, though clearly some of us would really appreciate that.

Ah how irrational your futile emotional guidance system is. First "kill them" next "torture them" then "enslave them". I suppose next you'll try and explain to me how you're anti-slavery.

If a friend of yours has hurt their spouse, let's say by having an affair and has left that person emotionally torn, do you suddenly decide upon whether he/she should be: 1. killed, 2. tortured, 3. enslaved, or in some other way victimized? Does it make a difference to you? Do you have a right to punish them for that? Imprisonment is the punishment for rape. You guys that want to add more and more punishments seem to have a deep-seeded engrained hatred and anger towards your fellow man that I for one find disturbing, somewhat offensive and hypocritical, and above all else morally and ethically intangible. But carry on.
