Sounds extraordinarily harsh to me. Capital punishment is never appropriate, and even if it must be done it should at least be done quickly and with dignity.

Sorry casper I disagree!!!!!!!!!

To hell with what is human for the idots that hurt little kids or rape people....

Why should they be treated with respect and their feeling takin into consideration...they didn't ask the people they hurt it they minded.

Let the punishment fit the crime!!!!!!!!!

DAMN, YOU ARE A SEXY ONE-skipthisone

I beleive in the sweet spot, soft-core pornography, opening your presents Christmas morning rather than Christmas Eve, and I beleive in long, slow, deep, soft, wet kisses that last three days. Kevin Costner/Bull Duram

"Your body as well as mine has needs. This is juat a little foreplay to highten our desire for each other. If we play out the game of love to it's natural conclusion, you'll experience fulfillment. Give yourself up to me and I'll guide you along the path to pareadise. Together we will be like fire and ice, love and hate, life and death." Virginia Henley

WANTED: a moment when you kiss someone and eveything around you becomes hazy. And the only thing in focus is you and this person and you relize that he is the only person your suppose to kiss for the rest of your life. And for one moment you get this amazing gift. You want to laugh and you want to cry. Cause you feel so lucky that you found it and so scared it will all go away at the same time.

I think pedophile rape is defintly game for captiol punsihment.

Teen rape is maybe a 15 year offense, unless like below it has further threat,

Adult rape, although awful, should be maybe a 5 year offense as long as little harm was actually dealt to the victim and no threat of death (kinfepoint, gunpoint, etc.) was used.

Thankyou, txgrneyes - it's a fair argument. However, I stand by my original claim.

Let the punishment fit the crime? This is my point - who decides what is a fitting punishment? The victims? Ordinary people? Politics?

No, they didn't ask the people they hurt if they minded. That is not the point - thieves don't ask for permission to steal, yet we don't murder them. Arsonists don't ask if we'd like our hedges burnt, but we don't murder them either. But because someone doesn't ask for permission to touch up a kid, we're supposed to not only murder them, but do it by stoning? How barbaric.

Don't get me wrong, I'm not supporting child abuse or sex abuse. But there is no way I can condone the taking of another person's life, except in some cases of Euthenasia.

Simply because someone does something abhorrent, doesn't give us the right to stoop to their level. Especially not when we cannot guarantee the accuracy of our courts. People are wrongly convicted all the time - and you're willing to murder someone even though evidence may turn up years later exonerrating them?? Are you certain your judgement is perfect? The jury is perfect? The judge is perfect?

And even if they are, we should stoop to the criminal level to exact "justice"?? Only the government can kill people, cos they're always right?

To paraphrase the great J.R.R. Tolkien,
"Many that live deserve death. And many that are dead deserve life. Can you give it to them? Do not be so quick to deal out death and judgement."

It is not up to us to decide who should live and who should die.
