VS.

no

Side Score: 15

yes! Its a known fact that they cant be rehabilitated and will never stop. Instead of giving them "life" In prison (witch doesn't happen very often) or imprisoning them for a while then letting them out to do it again we should save ourselves some money and kill them. Ill even do it so know els has to reap the karma or sin, and Ill do it with a bullet(witch costs like a dollar).

I agree with Sierrastruth. Just imagine that a child of your BEST friend was raped by a pedophile. What would you feel if you were one of this parents? at this moment, I do not think that you would think about humanity.

Also, from my point of view, we must clean our planet from that kind of people. Keeping them in jails/prisons is not useful. Why we must provide these people (by paying taxes) with shelter in prison if in response they repeat their crimes again and again? (of course not in all cases they repeat)

Wow, your so smart. How craftily you avoid the question. I wish I knew how to win an argument by avoiding it and insulting the instigator. Bravo!

Side: yes

Absolutely not. We're no better than them if we kill them. I say we should put them to work! We could make a lot of money if prisoners did lots of labor.

Anyway, I'm not for the death penalty.

Well, while I do not condone the activity (crime in our culture), I have a hard time getting my head around capital punishment for a crime that did not take a life...therefore, I would suggest making the individual a Eunuch and thus removing the primary factor in their abnormal behavior.

Side: No

I have heard examples of rapist even after (sometimes even voluntarily) taking drugs or castration, going out and continuing their behavior using inanimate objects or other limbs. Its not there genitalia controlling them its their minds. I'm okay with removing that part of their "abnormal behavior". =)

It makes sense to me why to kill them. It honestly does for me. But i don't want to associate myself with killing people.

I usually thought that pedophilia wasn't wrong. But on the internet, there is a medical book that states that it is an act against children. I never knew it was an act but attraction. I don't know the truth but i rather believe a medical book than google. It seems like common sense to me.

Why does it make sense to kill another human, especially one that is mentally unstable, natural sexual attraction is controlled by the brain, it's obvious that a pedophile's brain doesn't work in the natural way. I don't think it fair to say that one person with a mental problem should die while others can live.

I do believe though, as a parent especially, that these people need to be detained, they are a hazard to themselves and especially to others.

It is both an act and an attraction.

I don't know the truth but i rather believe a medical book than google.

First of all, never put all your faith in one book, that's what religions are for, secondly Google isn't a source of information per se, it is a search engine that can lead you too the information you need. Out of curiosity was it a Google search that brought you upon this textbook? And thirdly if almost everyone bar pedophiles themselves is against pedophilia, in every part of the world then you can be damned sure it's considered morally unsound, despite what any book may tell you, either way.

Side: No

Down-vote and no dispute. Why? .

Side: yes

I didn't downvote you. I know you didn't accuse me but it looks like i am the downvoter. I gave you an upvote because i don't disagree with you at all.

I do think it is sad to kill someone who is not even at fault for having sexual attraction. I do blame people on their actions though because it does bring devastating effects. When rehabilitation doesn't work and the pedophilies and rapists state that they are going to harm people anyway, what else is there to do? lol in fact, we could protect the potential victims. But what if they come to your house with guns and explosives and provide a threat that you cannot handles except shooting them. A threat really huge that when the police comes to your house, the bad deed has already happen. I guess i do believe in death if it is our last resort.

You know what....i won't kill those who want to recieve help. For those who are confuse. I believe in death if it is our last resort and that "last resort" is miles away. I don't even like saying that myself. So that is why i put it as a last resort. I would even pray to Jesus Christ for help.

If i see a person raping my child. I won't shoot him even tho i will feel sad not to. (That is how i feel. That is how i am) I would tackle him and make sure for myself that he is no threat to my child.

It really depends on the situation Ricedaragh. Believe me if you want...i don't want to be a killer. I want to be a hero for my friends, strangers, and enemies.

The website that refers to the medical book is Wikipedia. If you type in "pedophilia" in the google search engine, the first source you will see is wikipedia. It is the third paragraph from the top of the page and the book is called "The American Heritage Stedman's Medical Dictionary. Sorry i thought it was a book with chapters but it is a dictionary. You could type that in the search engine you want.

You said why it would make sense to kill another human being. It pains me to say this but what if someone went and started to hurt your child? It does make sense to kill someone when it comes to the safety of your children. If you don't feel like it makes sense....ok that is you. :) When someone hurts your love one and just plans to hurt more, the first instinct i just have is to eliminate them. Unless they want help. Or if they are confused. If you gave me a gun, i don't think i would kill. But if my loves ones were at danger....i think i might. Dunno. This is a hard life. I don't want to be a killer.

Сan be you 100% sure that this is indeed the person has committed a crime?? I am against the death penalty. While in our country such a mess of what death is all about? We have to close the case may be an innocent man to prison to plant. Or just too lazy to understand, and then ambushed and killed.

Side: no
