they give child molesters and rapists way to little time I could go out a beat a girl uncouncious and then rape her, and get less time then if I got caught with 4 ounces of coke
Too lenient. Too much "be kind to [insert the bad]" in the world. Put em in the chair and get it over with. All this kind/sensitive/feeling sorry for messed up people is part of the problem. Make the penalty death. That'll cut down on people thinking they can take advantage of kids.
I don't people think rationally about molesting kids, I don't think they weight the penalties like for profit criminals do. They need to be either locked up, or chemically castrated and under supervision
Or, just executed. It's clean, it's efficient, it's economical. It's the enviromnentally friendly way to deal with violent crime.
I'd factor this into my last comment. The 16/19 year olds dating should not be part of that equation. I'm talking about the 35 year old man that kidnaps and rapes a little girl. Tag that ass in the chair and good riddens. There's no room for touchy feely feeling sorry, no rehabilitation, no point in feeding/clothing them for the next 40 years. Make the penalties tough, people think twice.
As long as the proof is there without a doubt I would support the death penalty w/o a problem in cases such as this so I guess I agree, at least to a point
all thats fine unless you execute a bunch of the wrong people there are parts of the country where the criminal justice system is so screwed, I don't think they should be able to execute people
like texas http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/6827494/ where this guy just made up evidence to make cases agianst the black people in his town
Ahhh.... I see. So taking someone who would saw a childs head off and playing loud music or making them stay awake for long periods of time in hopes of getting information that will help save lives is not acceptable, yet you wish to see a child molester "chemically castrated". I just dont quite grasp your stance there. Why exactly do you feel we need to be "nice" to murderers, terrorists and woman and child killers again?
There's always that possibility someone wasn't guilty, but DNA and crime investigations have come a long way. I certainly wouldn't advocate doing nothing because it might, could, possibly, maybe that someone was not guilty.
Absolutely right, and the first time I have ever seen this kind of common sense anywhere. If you're under lets say 23 and dating someone over 16, I believe that is a grey area and should be treated as such. That 19/16 thing is something that happens all the time, and to be honest, I don't really see anything wrong with it, but then again, it's against the law and I wouldn't encourage it. The ones who are the true pedophiles, they don't "recover", or at least 95% don't. I am so sick of the stories on the news. Everytime there is a story, turns out the offender has been doing the same shit since 1978. We are placing kids in jeaporday playing political games with certain laws.
We've gotta get past that grey area in this country. That a 19 year old can date a 16 year old, but would otherwise be "child molester" for consentual sex, is not right. It may be the law, but it's not right. Take into consideration that a 19/17 year old date. The elder 19 year old man could become a registered sex offender, while one year later, the 17 year old would turn 18 and can legally marry a 65 year old man. I'm sick of predators on kids and just as sick of judges that let them go with a slap on the wrist. That kid will be scared for life. It brings out the hatred in me about the same level as seeing 9/11 replays on TV.
personally, I don't care if it's a 25 year old dating a 17 year old, as long as the relationship is not based on the older guy taking advantage of her lack of maturity etc. I don't believe in making them pay for the fact that there are 50 year old men obsessed with 10 year old girls. For some reason we as a nation have been avoiding this issue but it always comes back. Mike
What types of programs do you consider to be non-biased? I'm interested in knowing. I understand everything is slanted in one direction or another. But to say that the program was "quite biased" is asinine!
asinine in your opinion Rob, remember that. There really are no programs in the mainstream media that are not biased.
I know you have to go to total fringe right wing websites to get the real deal anyways Zman, Do you understand the reason we don't torture people is becasue we don't want our people tortured? When we torture people it pretty much says its ok to torture our soldiers when they are captured.
