sad state of affairs, what do we do to people like this ?

Do you really want to spend your money on keeping this sicko alive instead of giving to those that are in dire need?

I wouldn't. Its sick.

Kill them, the electric chair is better because it'll cause more pain.

true i would like to kill them, but people say we live in a 'civilised' society so why kill them, rehabilitate them. eventually they could be let out.......

No no, executing him will not do. That's the coward's way out. Once death has been delivered he'll be out of physical pain. No, what I think would be needed is a lifetime of punishment, like the old 'hard labour' ideas. Something which will remind him every day for the rest of his life of the evil he's committed.

Why bother with rehab? What is the point? Criminals should be punished.

Pierre · 29-03-2004, 17:57

Don't really want to cover old ground.

Again this discussion will be the left of centre (rehabilitate, prisoner rights, humane society)etc

against the right of centre (cut his balls of and throw away the key) etc.

I think everybody knows what side I'm on.

I'm with you on this one Russ, The problem with a death sentance is that it does not bring back that which has been taken, and the person does not have to live with the knowledge of what they have done, or that they will never be free etc...

As Pierre said, this has been discussed in many forms before, and most people know where I sit...

As always - just my 2c

Don't think you can rehab a man that disturbed

no, but you can keep him off the streets..

He would have to spend his time in solitary - child molesters are the lowest of the low - even other rapists hate them... If anyone got near him he would have his head kicked in (no great loss IMO)..

Unfortunately in parts of Africa and particularly in South Africa there is an erronious belief that sex with a virgin will cure AIDS.This has become a common occurrence in Africa and very young children are at risk because of this stupid folk tale or legend that has sprung up in a country that is so rampant with the AIDS virus.
So many of the victims are not only abused in this manner but are put at risk of contracting AIDS.

I was horrified to discover this whilst watching a documentary last year.I was sick to my stomach about it.

Incog.

Yep, they are a very backward bunch

...and I've got far worse examples of their backward beliefs than that one.
