Prison, however a proper sentence maybe 10-15 years imho

and is your dad going to foot the whole bill to pay for the costs of all rapists in jail hmm you know its 35 000 per prisoner a year


What if you were at a party and got drunk and slept with some random girl who later cried rape and you were jailed. Would you be happy to have your genitals chopped off?

Prison....and only after the rape has been proven to be true 110%.I have no doubt there are men in prison up and down the country who are there and shouldnt be.
Certainly not the death penalty, we don't need that in our country.

Castration and torture.


:rolleyes: Because that wouldn't make us barbaric right?

I disagree with the idea of torture therefore I sympathise with rapists. Wonderful logic.

That's a pretty ignorant view. Just because he doesn't agree with your views on the level of punishment, it doesn't mean that he sympathises with the rapist rather than a victim.
It just means that he's not an ******* who wants to resort to unecessary barbaric, backwards punishments when a prison sentence would suffice. What's next, tie them to a cross and burn them?

Yes , heinous crimes such as murder, rape etc deserve the death penalty, burglary is a serious but not heinous crime

Castration isn't just about cutting the balls off with a hot knife. There are libido suppressing medications that can be administered.

Although, I don't support that and I certainly don't support the idea that the state has the right to take a life.

Ah yes, the 'I don't drink so I couldn't possibly ever do anything wrong' defense.

So uncontrolled vigilantism is good, but controlled state state sanctioned execution is wrong?

That's a pretty loose set of ethics...


I think you misunderstood my post if you think I was in favour of uncontrolled vigilantism.

Chopping their cock and testicles off under a hospital procedure is not torture, the anesthetic given will make sure of it followed by post op morphine.

Disagreeing with the premise doesn't make him pro rapist.

The person I responded to mentioned torture as well. Read it again.

If they're in prison, it's gonna be pretty hard for them to rape, isn't it?


With the amount of rape in prisons I am uncertain if what you said was sarcastic or just ill-informed.

I'd say it's more than likely he does think it is barbaric, not stating so doesn't mean he approves of the act.

we pay the same money for burglars, why don't we just kill them too? saves money and prevents re-offending right?

there are more important things than saving money, such as not becoming as bad as the criminals we are trying to stop. there is no reason to stoop to such barbaric levels, especially considering the number of innocent men who are wrongly accused of rape. that is vengeance, not justice

there are better ways to save money, such as saving jail sentences for serious offenders and putting lesser offenses on community service. if somebody is not a danger to the public, jail time is too expensive to be used as a punishment

In American states where the death penalty is legal it actually costs more to kill someone by lethal injection than it does to for them to serve a life sentence due to the appeal process.

just because rape is more serious, if we are talking about saving money (which you are) why should rapists be executed and less serious crimes not? after all, executing burglars would save more money. is it because saving money is less important than fairly administering justice? if that is the case then don't use saving money as a reason for execution or castration.

as I said before, giving somebody a punishment as savage as their crime is not justice, it is institutionalized revenge
