Castrating rapists anyone?

I just heard of a case in South Korea where they chemically castrated a rapist. wonderful. Also, 15 years in jail and 20 years of being watched by the government when he gets out. south korea still has some balls, compared to the indeed very feminised west. Bu enough of that, what do you think of castration of rapists? How can anyone be against this? of course, people might be wrongly convincted and thus I don't think it should be dealt out to blurrier cases obviously, but on a moral plane i'm wondering.

 

I don't know if I would support it here, but yeah, India could use a policy like this.

 

I'm all for it, but this one is a big NO NO for US government, and here is why: they would all be castrated for raping Serbia, Iraq, Afghanistan, Libya, and helping rape other nations, including of course the US.

 

But don't you support the death penalty for people who break off your crown molding during a party???

 

What's different?

 

actual rape, not poetic rape pvm unless one also talkes about poetic castration..

 

I think they should surgically remove their penises, because rape isn't purely a sexual desire, it's about sadism and abuse of the victim as much as sex.

 

I support stricter punishment in general. in other words I walk straight. read my manifesto in the "you are dictator" thread

I made it clear that I do support castrating rapists. but I also would prefer to castrate anyone who tries to fight for their rights to not be castrated. I would like to castrate all war criminals, and war propagandists, such as on the media, who make money from conflicts.

 

Indeed, fully agree. good point.

While one can, uh, still be sadistic (?) without a penis it's certainly a good thing to remove it imho.

 

Well, I don't know if castration of all things is right. why not just cap 'em? Given that you don't seem to like them very much, is castration enough? But this is another discussion.

4 January 2013 - After the outcry over the brutal gang rape and murder of a 23-year-old woman in the Indian capital Delhi, Indian commentators give us their opinions on what might follow in the effort to combat rape and violence against women in India.

 

No because of wrongful convictions and a pretty shady culture in general. Women cry rape at the drop of a hat in the US. If there was a castrated man for every single woman that claimed rape the American race would eventually die out. Certainly the Duke Lacrosse team would be wiped out.

 

atleast India has the balls to kill these bastards. Here they'd just get a few years, and all would be forgiven and forgotten..

 

It should certainly only be used in clear cases, not in these "I was drunk and regret it" cases some idiot women seem to think are rape.

 

Well you are wandering into "legitimate rape" territory. After what happened to the last guy that did that I doubt anyone has an appetite for that debate.

 

I don't disagree with this in theory. But we've gotten way too soft on crime in this country out of fear of wrongful convictions. And it leads to giving even the most hardened criminals a comparative slap on the wrist to what they really deserve. This is not justice. This is just weakness and fear and timidy. You can't run a society like that.

I agree with the OP that western culture has become way too feminized. Ironically, it is our society that has lost its balls.

 

Why not go a step further and castrate politicians as well?

 

Compared to most well run countries with accessible education, a strong economy, rule of law, and low burden of disease we have the highest percentage of our population locked up so really getting tough isn't the answer. Honestly we lock up so many petty offenders that we have to give early release to rapists and child molesters. That doesn't make any sense. I would much rather have a pot head medically treated in the community than have a rapist released to make room for some guy with a couple of joints. I think we can lock some people up for a lot longer while not even arresting others and get an overall drop in the crime rate.

Well if you go to Muslim and Eastern countries the burden of proof is way higher when it comes to rape. They may do stonings and castrations but I doubt 95% of the rapes even get reported over there. I would much rather have a trial and some kind of punishment than not even have the rape reported.

 

I agree with the petty offender part. And drug usage crimes overall are better handled with rehab/treatment than incarceration. It is only intent to sell that should really be punished by jail time. But my point still stands about how we patholocally puss out on doling out proper justice to real monsters. A friend of mine was murdered by the son of a police officer, and the (*)(*)(*)(*)head didn't even get life in prison. There is something seriously wrong with that. He should have gotten the death penalty. He also killed two other people. One of which was a baby. You can't tell me this isn't soft justice.

 

Rape is apparently a bigger problem there than here.

 

We didn't really rape Serbia. They brought that on themselves, honestly.

 

Castration could be limited to violent rapes. Date rapes and other more ambiguous forms of rape would retain the same punishments as they currently do.

 

Without more details I can't give you a definitive answer. I will say based on what you have posted most people regardless of political party would say that guy deserves life without the possibility of parole simply to protect society. And anyone who condones the death penalty would say that guy should die.

Unfortunately most cases are not that clear cut. Or maybe I should say fortunately. There are random acts of violence, but most people that get into trouble go looking for it. I agree banning certain types of guns won't solve all our problems. As long as society is filled with macho knuckleheads there will always be some kind of problems. I started avoiding trouble as a teenager once I realized it wasn't worth it. I didn't care if some random person disrespected me. If they weren't giving me a grade, a pay check or weren't taking money from me that was their problem. I keep a low profile and stay out of trouble. If anyone gives me static I just back away. I have never carried a gun or gotten into a situation I can't handle.
