I actually think murdering someone is often a lesser crime- esp when its some dumb gang killing or robbing someone and killing them out of fear.<BR/><BR/>Raping a child is the most malicious, heinous and disgusting crime I can think of. Furhter, it robs the victim of quality of life before the child has even had a chance to enjoy a quality life.<BR/><BR/>Think of it this way: <BR/><BR/>a 60 year old man who lived his whole life, raised a family, etc. is killed during a robery.<BR/><BR/>vs <BR/><BR/>an 8 year old child who was raped and has the live the rest of her life with the physical and psychological scars, the therapy, the damage to her personal relationships, her view on life for ever after.<BR/><BR/>If you had to be one of those people, who would you choose?<BR/><BR/>I would rather be the 60 year old man. I would rather be dead than live thru what that 8 year old girl has gone thru and will continue to go through.S.

That's what an eye for an eye means. <BR/><BR/>Putting these guys to death would be taking a head for an eye. <BR/><BR/>Your treason argument was interesting because that could be a crime that we punish disproportionately to the crime. However when I reviewed the list of people put to death for treason, they all killed Americans at some point in commission of their crime. <BR/><BR/>Because this was a clear violation of the 8th amendment I think this was decidely correctly.MrBoldhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10886064925424374810noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8427727693118007793.post-37770466455352611282008-06-27T15:47:00.000-05:002008-06-27T15:47:00.000-05:00oh- i thought liberals were anti-gun and conservat...oh- i thought liberals were anti-gun and conservatives were pro-gun but that really never made any sense to me.<BR/><BR/>Anyway, I am not real sure what this means: "Hmm that's an interesting argument you make S. City using treason to overcome the punishment should be proportional to the crime point" but i think raping a child to the point she has to have surgery is a more heinous crime the treason. <BR/><BR/>AND i know that capital punishment is more expensive than life in prison but I think its an appropriate punishment for the crime- and at least the child doesnt have to fear for the rest of his life that the monster will ever get released (or escape)<BR/><BR/>BUT most importantly, I think the statets should be allowed to decide for themselves on the issue.S.
