For more on marking an answer as the "Best Answer", please visit our FAQ.The point is that 'opinions' mean nothing unless you can back them up. This is not about a religious kind of 'belief' in something...although about half the posts on this thread are of this type: "I think they should be castrated"..."I don't think they should be castrated". Now, thanks for sharing either of those, but they are equally worthless. Provide information or a reasoned argument, or both, but just saying 'I feel this' or 'I feel this REALLY strongly' is just a complete waste of time. For a bunch of us to come together in unison shouting 'we ALL feel this' is just a waste of a thread.
Of COURSE, if other people feel they have different information or reach different conclusions based on reason, I will accept that I may be wrong and will examine my own position, but where I see reason being drowned out by people that want to shout out with no support for what they say, I will point it out for what it is.
Millions of Germans had their 'opinion', and it would have only taken one man of reason to show that they were all wrong.
EI D, Yes of course having natural protective parental instincts is backwards and childlike. Infact you repulse me! If some vile pervert put your children (if you have any) through a nightmare ordeal, perhaps you would prefer to concentrate your emotions on comforting the poor misguided nonce, who didn't know what he was doing, ah isn't that sweet of you. Get a grip of reality and try getting your priorities right !
As for doing the torturing myself, if some sick pervo ever did anything to my kids then YES, I would be more than happy to oblige. Then I suppose you think I would be just as bad as the perpetrator, somehow I think not!!
I don't have any kids, I have a nephew, and I think that's almost enough to see roughly where you're coming from. I don't go in for violence of any sort, but if I was a betting man I would have to stake my money on something not so good happening to someone that did anything to my nephew. I suspect this is heavily amplified if it's one's own kids.
I would want to protect him not just because he's a kid, and thus very vulnerable, though. I would also largely want to protect him because he's a human being. And I would (and have) protected other human beings from this assault of different kinds.
So I watch out for him, partly because he's a kid, partly because he's a human being. I will protect him from various things, including violence.

MargeB,
El D(on another category question) have made reference to myself advocating torture of these types of offenders. I challenge both of you to copy/paste anything I have said to that end. I have advocated carrying out the death penalty but have not done so regards torture, quite the opposite. I'm not the sort to go bleating the AB Ed over something like this, just the sort who doesn't like being misqouted.
Please quote me accurately or not at all.
