Death penalty for rapists?
#51
RE: Death penalty for rapists?
But we are not talking about what happens in Australia or America Daniel. We are talking about what India is going to do with these semi-evolved simians who have cart blanche to not only rape with impunity but mutilate and leave for dead a female BECAUSE she is female and therefore worthless (even your "good book" says this is so)


I would imagine they will get off lightly. Then they will not live long.

I would very much like to see India take some steps to re-forming it's caste system and actually bring rapists to justice and a better legal system for women in that country. Your pontificating is of no value there and there is where change has to happen. Considering we already have sufficient laws here in Australia to deal with such behaviour. And then there are the "underground laws" that can assist the transgressors to change (rehabilitate in your lingo).

Dying naturally is a "sentence" that we already carry, so it cannot be imposed on us again by some judge or any other person.

There is a difference between sentencing someone to confinement for the rest of their life, and sentencing someone to an unnatural death by means of execution...a massive difference.

You don't think the confinement makes a difference? We don't send a baby to a limited prison, a baby can make whatever choices he likes. A prisoner basically lives out a meaningless torturous existence until his death. What is the possible moral high ground that you see to that, as opposed to the death penalty? Also prisoners have way shorter life expectancies and large numbers die in unnatural causes. A huge number die of AIDS. Is that not a death penalty? Is that a preferable function of the state? If my logic is faulty, your own says that the people worked to death in a concentration camp weren't killed, they were just confined until their death.

So then - if a prisoner tells you their life has value and meaning, you won't believe them?

The whole point of imprisonment is to devalue one's life. It is what religion does very well hence the implementation of it, and while you are demeaning said prisoner you are getting to feel all generous at how you are not killing.

IF you are going to kill something/ someone then do it, don't be all hypocritical and give the creature "death by a thousand and one minute cuts".

Aha, and if they're innocent like the WM3 then what?
