Shake off the dust on that Eugenics program, neh?;)
As Occhi replied to you earlier Doc, every sex crime isn't the same. It'd be great if there were black and white lines between "Kiddie rapists" and
Quote:[those people who] wind up on sex offender lists because they are some 18 year old kid that slept with some 17 year old girl and somebody's overly puritanical parents wigged out when they found their sweet little girl was getting her hedges trimmed by the neighbor boy.
Each crime and corresponding criminal are different, murder isn't just murder, and a sex crime isn't the same as another sex crime. There is a whole lot of shades of grey mixed in there, even if they do all closely resemble pitch black;).
(If you do disagree with this, and view all crime as black and white, I'll respectfully agree to disagree to nip in the bud an already beaten dead horse).
With that said, most of your post have been filled with lengthy paragraphs expressing your deep emotional hatred for child molesters. One one hand, these are fair enough. But on the other hand, these aren't helping your argument, no one here is defending child molestation as something good. If anything, they are hurting your argument. You attempt to argue that its pure logistics to sentence every molester to death, since they can't be helped. But then in the same token you go on about how you hate them so much, and you end up reading more like an overly passionate person defending the death penatly based on your emotions.
As SwissMercenary said,
Quote:If you're just using it as an excuse to lash out for emotionally-charged crimes, no thanks.
The argument that child sex crimes is very bad, is a very dead horse. We all generally agree.
If your argument is pure logical, please disentangle it from your emotions and state it clearly.
Your conclusion seems to be Draconian laws against any single time offending child sex crime offender, due to poor rehabilitation percentages. Rather than another argument about how bad child sex crimes are, let's get some real statistics in this discussion. What are the estimated rehab percentages, Doc?
My two cents is incredibly simple, as long as there is a rehabilitation percentage, a uniqueness to each crime, and a problem of false sentencing, sweeping Draconian laws get a big thumbs down.
