But if you take all his other extremities....how will he be able to earn
money for himself? Will he not rather become a social case? So if someone
steals and we chop off his hands....we'll have to feed this guy for the rest
of his life. In other words that would be supporting him for the crime he
has done. I think if someone commits rape, castration is not a bad idea.
They do have what is called chemical castration. However interviews with
these people have shown that the thoughts are still there, even though the
sex-drive is gone. Who knows if castration won't just backfire by them
instead of raping little girls get a kick out of tortouring and then killing
them? (I'm not saying that rape isn't torture either). I say those that are
rapists and not just once but repeatedly, lock them up and throw away the
key. If they kill someone sadistically, premeditated and cruel (like Jeffery
Dahmer, for instance), put them to death. (that might be a relief for them
and a relief for the victims family....and others that could have been the
potential next victim). Are there not cases in the US where the guilty has
pleaded to be put to death? All I can say go for it, grant him his wish. Now
I don't want to sound like a Nazi in all of this (and I know there is a
danger in sounding like this, cause I'm German), but sometimes the
death-penalty could really be applied to certain cases, IMHO. :) I have said
it before and I say it again....as far as the punishment of criminals go,
Germany is too lenient. Matter of fact, the BGB (Bundesgesetzbuch, German
book of law) was instituted in 1886 I believe and is still valid. The laws
are as such that for tax-evasion you get 20 years and for a murder you get
15 years (just and example, don't know if the years are right) but anyway an
offense in which material things are invovled are judged much stronger than
an offense where someones life, health or wellbeing is involved. Now that
attitude makes me to think that there is something wrong. :) God bless=
