The only difference between the two for me is what I'll do to the person who tries to make me a victim in either incident.
Murder: Unless the person is armed or using an incendiary device, they die. Unfortunately, I'll be too afraid to make it slow, but I will...end...them.
Rape: Same result except I will be angry enough to get creative.
My hatred of rapists is probably irrational, but I can't help it. I hate being touched without my permission, and for someone to force themselves on another person like that, is the greatest torture I can imagine(other than watching loved ones be hurt/killed). Maybe it's because I'm a bit of a control freak.
In all honesty, your hatred of rapists is PERFECTLY Rational! They are a serious threat to your saftey, your emotional well being, and your genetic self-interest.
So tell me SorceressPol, do rapists deserved to get raped in prison? I say hell yes
Either caught in the act deserve what they get
The existence of Prison Rape is one of the reasons why Im actually NOT much of a supporter of the death penalty except in certain extreme cases. Life w/out parole(and PC) as Bubba's Bitch most definitely IS a fate worse than Death!
In a way, I agree with you. I think they should actually kill a lot more prisoners though in order to reduce pressure on the tax paying citizen.
Perhaps they could tone down the drug laws and there would be less prisoners. I mean clearly they aren't working out too well. Going to jail for possesion doesn't seem to be the deterrent it cracked up to be.
Executing prisoners does not really save money. It costs substantially more to execute a prisoner than it costs to let him live the rest of his life in prison. Also, what should be done if an innocent person is convicted of a crime and executed?
The main reason that it costs so much to execute prisoners is the endless appeals by the sob sisters that can't bear the thought of people like Richard Allen Davis and Tookie Williams getting their just desserts. I find the use of that particular argument by the antis to be quite disingenuous given that they deliberately preserve the lives of the likes of Robert Alton Harris et al to the best of their ability.
It doesn't help that we have to make their executions so fucking complicated. Electric chair, lethal injection? Fuck that. If they're guilty beyond a shadow of a doubt, then why not just shoot them, and get it over with? I feel like Seth Green's character in the Austin Powers movie when Dr. Evil just couldn't kill Powers right there and then.
Scott Evil: I have a gun, in my room, you give me five seconds, I'll get it, I'll come back down here, BOOM, I'll blow their brains out!
Why can't people make things this simple?

George:I'd say I'm sorry to disappoint you, but I'm not. I excel at not giving a shit. Experience has taught me that interest begets expectation, and expectation beget disappointment, so the key to avoiding disappointment is to avoid interest. A equals B equals C Equals A, or whatever. I also don't have a lot of interest in being a good person or a bad person. From what I can tell, either way, you're screwed. Bad people are punished by society's laws, and good people are punished by Murphy's Law
