Some of the rape punishments around the world ^

When it comes to The Death Penalty, I mostly sit here and remark on how oddly expensive it is within the American system. That being said, I support The Death Penalty, but how it's handled is worth discussing.

They believe that the death of the wrongdoers will leave a good example on others and thus, reduce the crime.

I mostly just see that spread a stronger sense of mob mentality, vigilantism, and a sense of Might Makes Right. Even if it does reduce crime it sets an example for more than just the 'victims' of it, and once a crime happens that the law doesn't support the death penalty for you'll see the line move with people's sentiments more than by any code of ethics that goes beyond that. 

It also means that those who go the criminal route will go harder from knowing how much more they have to lose, and some may even go through with it as a last hurrah before "Suicide By Cop" instead of seeking help. If it's harder for them to live with themselves than rape someone from the tools around them being that much less than otherwise... it could account for some rapes. 

There are also a lot of people who are often punished for a crime they did not really commit. This is found after years of them rotting in the prison, sometimes it is not even found out and they go through the entire life imprisonment.

I wonder sometimes how often innocent people being sent to jail turns them into criminals. 

If rape = death penalty. Then so should false accusations of it.

While false claims of rape aren't great, is it really as extreme as raping someone?

 I like the idea that false accusations that can result in the loss of life is basically attempt murder. Should we put down murderers?

I mean how is it murder? 

I'll grant you that it's a character assassination when it's done maliciously (as opposed to otherwise), but at that point wouldn't we have to start throwing The Death Penalty at Slander down the line? I understand people being held liable for the things they say, but is it really on par with forcing yourself on someone? 

"Sticks and stones (cock and balls) may break my bones (inner foundation) but words will never hurt me (accusations)." 

Yes 

lets just kill everyone for everything they do 

no that;s absolutely rediculous 

death penalty is rediculous 

We have to give people a chance for correction we can’t just kill them we don’t own their lives and they don’t owe us that 

i know they took a life, but it’s not our right nor *anyones* right to take a life, ever 

and taking a life for taking a life makes us no different than them! 

I would rather them do work in a facility that earned money and then all the money goes to the family or the victim 

or do something valuable with their lives from within the walls 

wait but then people would just frame other people for crimes to get money so never mind

Nothing warrants it for you? 

Nothing at all?

Are you saying that we should have those at the receiving end deal with problems instead? 

If some strange man crammed his smokestack in your hoohah while you were asleep, you'd still be their right to life defense attorney? 

i know they took a life, but it’s not our right nor *anyones* right to take a life, ever 

Why though?

I see it as harm reduction on a sociological scale. 

and taking a life for taking a life makes us no different than them! 

So you see Dr. Kevorkian on the same level as John Wayne Gacy? 

I would rather them do work in a facility that earned money and then all the money goes to the family or the victim

So... rape and murder are okay as long as they get financial compensation..? 

or do something valuable with their lives from within the walls

Want to know what's worse than a criminal? 

A criminal with a law degree.
