Quote from: Limetless on June 14, 2012, 05:04 amI hate the whole "It's still a human life" argument. Means fuck all. All they do is cause misery and destroy lives. Contrary to what people think the world basically works on the basis of an eye-for-an-eye. If you destroy someones life in that way, there should be no coming back.It seems to me that rehabilitation only makes sense in the context of people who are capable of reforming and someone with a preference for young children simply cannot change their sexuality so easily. When I first went to the Hidden Wiki I saw a guide on how to meet and have sex with children, suggesting five years old as a starting point ; it talked about ways to try and meet children. Fortunately they're easily preventable with a little judicious parenting and educating children not to speak to strangers but it left me to reflect on the kind of mind that would write such a guide as well as the kind of people who would put its teachings into practice.There's a huge difference between mob justice of the kind I've read about on Housing Estates in the UK where people firebomb the homes of alleged sex offenders (and in one case a Pediatrician! - a few dyslexic people amongst the lynch mob it seems...) and executing someone as the result of due process in law after a fair trial.Naturally we need some common sense when it comes to teenagers having relationships with adults and I wouldn't execute a 23 year old man for having sex with a willing 15 year old girl for instance but when it comes to pre-adolescent children, it's just a matter of preventing further harm to say we should leave open the option of the death penalty in my humble opinion.Many thanks to everyone for a thought provoking discussion!V.
