You liberals never cease to f-ing amaze me. You only raped a child, never mind we'll wait until you change and then become born again Christian. Oh only killed ten people, that??s just murder isn't it, here you go Rose West a TV, DVD player and a stereo.
Rose West
The UK is infested with liberals and prisoners will soon get PS2 in their cells, drugs are also plentiful inside the prisons.
Liberals have been trying to indoctrinate me all my life through the school system and TV, but I can see that clearly its a lie.
Obviously if its 17 - 15 year olds the court should use common sense.

I fail to see how me being against the death penalty automatically makes me a liberal? You typed a whole lot of nothing up there, and seem to be over excited.

It is the typical liberal (neo con whatever) stance and excuse me for not writing boringly enough for you. I'm not excited, this stuff just makes me angry. Nice way to avoid the issue though.

I wasn't avoiding the issue at all, I don't believe either of us can change the others mind. I am very against the death penalty for personal and spiritual reasons. You are obviously staunchly for the death penalty. These are facts that neither of us are going to change.

would you rather use YOUR tax dollars to go to jailing for a person for the rest of their life, especially a child rapist???
Personally I'd rather see the offender lying on a table waiting for the lethal injection!:stoned:

I find it funny that conservatives, the supposedly "Christian" of the two labels, are in such a hurry to execute people, while it is the "godless liberals" that are against executions and guns, and are for universal health care and programs for the less fortunate. Don't attack someone because they have a stronger respect for life than you. We all know that child rapers are sick, twisted, and the scum of the scum, but who are you to decide to end their life? I'm betting katyowns is against executions for murder as well, and there is nothinng wrong with that opinion.
It is overzealous people like you that give Conservatives the bad name they have now (I'm a moderate/liberal myself). I personally don't mind the death penalty too much, but I respect the people that do.

When I have children one of these days, the last thing some son of a bitch will need to worry about if he does ANYTHING to my children is what the court is going to be able to do to him; he'll be dead.

No death penalty for child rapists? Ok fine just put em in general population down at the prison and let nature take its course. Seriously thats just as good as dead. The policy should be that these people get no special treatment, if you rape a child then you go to prison just like if you killed someone or robbed a bank. Yeah you're gonna get repeatedly prison raped, but hey so do some of the people who just wanted a free car or to sell some weed.
As for the death penalty, I think the people who want the perp dead should have to put them down. If your child was raped and you want the person who did it killed then after the trial and all that instead of some anonymous individual throwing the switch it should be you. Never ask someone else to do something that you arent prepared to do yourself.
And just in case anyone is wondering, yes I would be prepared to do this myself (just in case that even needed stating) I don't think we should play fast and loose with the death penalty, if you're gonna take someone elses life you better be damn sure they deserve it first. Of course that brings up a whole bunch of other issues like: "can we ever really be sure?"
These are some real muddy waters here.

The problem with child rape, in most case's; The child doesn't remember the offender and often the crime itself. That is how the mind protects us in some meaninful ways. From my history of trauma and pain, I prefer not to remember. I feel no punishment is enough for this type of crime against, America's prized political power of tomorrow; the small, unprotected citizens of our fine country! That is our job, protect those children. I think there has to be enough DNA data or specifically the kid rmembering the person and that person's memory be evailuated for correctness every 5 years! Sometimes, women have remembered incorrectly and unable to live with themself after sending someone to jail for decades when it was in fact, another person that looked almost alike the person that did the crime. so, some case's need to be open, and defendant held until proven guilty beyond a doubt. Or, I think most admit, make the punishment for the ?crime be so high, people do not want the punishment. Fist time? Take off one nutMacadamia and apricot nuts)! 2nd, the Second nut; Third: keep on going. And no re-constructive surgery. Easier to find a rapist with one nut or ovary than 2!:hippy:
I have seen this in my own family. Always felt, my niece had infant child abuse behavior. Had a step-father or two or 3, etc. Anyway, it ended up I was telling one of 4 brothers of mine and he said he abused her. "But, she was so little how could she remember?"
I told him her mind never forgot because her behavior has lived like a survivor!
These people know what they have done to ruin a kid from living up to their potential, instead a life of mental anguish! I could go on. But, when you are 'of age' You represent the generation that needs to set a good example-are you living in the home of your dreams (and wondering how to pay 4 it), as opposed to how you don't want to live!

Justice Kennedy, while in no way minimizing the heinous nature of child rape, wrote that executing someone for that crime, assuming that the victim was not killed, violates the Eighth Amendment??s ban on cruel and unusual punishment, which draws it meaning from ??the evolving standards of decency that mark the progress of a maturing society.?

IF this were to happen to my grandson, I now know better than to rely on the courts for "justice".:buzz_saw:
Have a good one!:s4:
Completely agree. I believe the only real deterrent for these people is infact the death penalty, yes i'm an anarchist/liberal woop dee doo. They don't deserve to live and they don't deserve to leach off of my well earned tax dollars /end conservative mode rant/
