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.

Please don't assume I'm a Christian, but thatâ??s very far from the point.

I don't lust for blood itâ??s simply a very realistic point of view. It is for the greater good of the whole social order and would make paedophiles think twice. Those who commit heinous crimes don't deserve any mercy, we owe that to those who have had their lives destroyed by these perverts.

China, for example, doesn't have the extremely high crime rates that you have in the US despite having four times the population. This is because they donâ??t have a system of bloodsucking attorneys and counterproductive laws that end up serving to protect the guilty, as opposed, to having justice served.

Don't tell me how superior you are with your respect for criminals lives.

You want to go into the gun issue and Marxist programs. Disarming the population only serves to arm the criminals leaving law abiding citizens helpless. Marxist programs stagnates society and more people feel entitled to sit on their collective asses.

When abolishing capital and corporal punishment was argued in Britain, their main argument was that the incidences of murder would not increase if the death penalty was abolished. There are more murders in a week than there were in a year now.

In a way you could say Iâ??m against the death penalty, death is too lenient. I suggest hard manual labour for the rest of their lives and having them retire to small dark cells.

Actually, while I don't agree with her stance I have to say that it doesn't make her a liberal. She just made one statement.

Let's take a deep breath and an even deeper puff and relax.

The great thing about being human is that there is so much variety. Naturally we're all going to have different opinions. Personally I agree with previous posters in that I do believe in the death penalty for child rapists but I think the court also needs to apply common sense in certain cases. Something we seem to lack in this country lately. :hippy:

The problem with the death penalty for a nonmurder crime is where do you stop? Once you open that door they'll be screaming for the death penalty doing drugs. You can't allow the government too much power. We've all seen what happens.

I agree with this however at the same time I don't appreciate my tax dollars going to support these scummy people. Statistically many offenders are repeat offenders as well. Which goes to show that putting them in an institution such as prison has not been working.

Personally I'm perfectly happy with giving up my rights to rape children. </sarcasm>

I'm will not happily give up my rights originally granted to me by my forefathers however. (not sarcasm).

Again the law needs to be interpreted using some common sense. If only we had some common sense amendment that could be forced on our judicial system.

"If by a 'Liberal' they mean someone who looks ahead and not behind, someone who welcomes new ideas without rigid reactions, someone who cares about the welfare of the people â?? their health, their housing, their schools, their jobs, their civil rights, and their civil liberties â?? someone who believes we can break through the stalemate and suspicions that grip us in our policies abroad, if that is what they mean by a 'Liberal,' then I'm proud to say I'm a 'Liberal"

I didn't mean to imply anyone was anything, I only meant that Some people believe all death is wrong, and that doesn't automaticlly make anyone anything.

I used to know a psychotherapist that worked with sex offenders (she wasn't my therapist, before anyone asks, lol), and in all her career (like 30 years), she only had one repeat offender. Sure it doesn't help the victim in that one case, but they are able to be rehabilitated, the same as any other criminal (even though they are the worst of the worst). I'm not saying this makes anything ok, nor do I approve of taking it easy on them (I would'nt have been upset if the Supreme Court had ruled the other way), I'm just throwing it out there.

Honestly, I think they should have really bad stuff happen to these people, but lets lock em up and throw away the key. We can start releasing cannabis offender to make room for em ;)

I agree. The prison members will do such a better job of punishment than any lethal injection could. Lots of pedophiles in prison end up dead one way or another, and it wasnt so easy as getting a needle...I think that may be punishment enough.
I am pretty split on the death penalty issue. On one hand, for sex crimes against kids, or brutal murders, like serial killing - i am for the death penalty. On the other hand, it kind of seems like the easy way out, no? Personally I think it would be best if they sat on death row for like 20 years...just waiting and thinking that they were gonna die. That will fuck with someone's mind. But then you have to fund for him to keep the steel bench warm...which defeats the purpose.
But if they only have to wait a few months and are then put out of their misery, how does that bring any sort of good to the situation. Sure, he is off the street and can't harm people, and the family rests better knowing that the man is dead and won't do what he did again...but will it fix that child? mentally? physically? probably not. He/she will need extensive therapy, for many aspects of life can trigger mental recollections...or even a later romantic encounter can be unpleasant, because it also triggers thoughts.

We need to stop worrying about the offender so much, and think of the child. What measures are we adjusting to ensure the best recovery of a child who's been traumatized like this??? I say stop worrying so much about what happens to the sicko, and start worrying about helping the child. Lots of times the child grows up to have a lot of problems...the best thing we could do is ensure he/she gets to lead as normal a life as possible, so at least the sick fuck didn't take that away from them too.

-Over 2,000 children are reported missing every day.

-The chance that your child will become a victim of a sex offender is 1 in 3 for girls & 1 in 6 for boys.

I live in an area with three zip codes....the one I live in has 120 offenders listed for my area. Seems this crap about letting the system handle these freaks of nature isn't working!:mad:

Parents need to be dilligent. Pedophiles haven't changed from the way they've been since the beginning of time. People just need to kepp a watchful eye over the rug rats. I'm not infavour of our government doing parenting for me.
