society seems to be getting worse. just recently we have had a state parliamentarian charged with child sex offences. whilst some of you may not be surprised that a politician is involved in a scandal, it concerns me. so far (in my lifetime) people convicted of these type of offences have included everyone from members of the general public right up to police personnel and other members of the public service. people who we tell our children that they can trust.
these people are sent to jail for ‘rehabilitation’ and if they make it out of jail, they will more often than not re-offend.
i am in favour of capital punishment. in cases where guilt has been proven beyond doubt then people deserve to pay for their crimes. as crime-fighting technology increases and the margin of error for this technology decreases, i believe that our government must consider increasing the penalty for horrendous crimes.
now, whilst a rapist (ie any kind of sexual predator) has not taken a life per-se, they have irrevocably changed a life for the worse. i believe that people who are too irresponsible to use their genitals correctly, should have them taken away. but whats that, “chemical castration” i hear you cry. it is a well documented fact that whilst chemical castration takes away the man ability to achieve arousal, it does not change the why his mind works. therefore, the solution is castration. followed by a very long period of incarceration.
harsh? maybe. warranted? definitely.
now, as for other criminals i truly believe that the crime should fit the punishment. if you take a life – you lose yours. if you take everything from someone – you lose everything of your own.
you can probably see where i am going with this, so i will stop.
it just pisses me off that our society today lets people get away with these things.
