    You have that much faith in the government of Nigeria? I don't.

    Try writing an actual argument here. This lofty BS doesn't cut it. What, specifically, are you trying to assert here?

    I'm trying to assert that I don't have the same faith that you do in government. It isn't very complicated.

    Faith in what? What is there to be faithful about? Can you explain what faith is involved here? Do you fear that given liberal fascination with child genital mutilation these days that the winds would shift sufficiently to call this a "usual" punishment here in the US? Is that your concern here?

    My sentiments agree, but this is cruel and unusual punishment (except for maybe capital punishment for child rapists depending on how it is defined) and akin to Islamist's chopping off hands for theft.

    Not good. We have things in place to prevent cruel and unusual punishment. What should we do with that document that gets in the way of such things?

    What’s stopping conservative states from doing this? Or will you claim the Left is running conservative states too?
    For the record, I’d have no issue with rapists getting castrated.

    As Doofenshmirtz correctly pointed out, castration would be unconstitutional under the Eighth Amendment, so that's off the table. However, I think the minimum sentence for rape in my state is far too low (only five years) and I would support making child rape a capital offense.

    Well the left would castrate young boys in America who are just confused as to their gender so what's the big deal?
