[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Because--at least in theory--our system allows for perpetrators of crimes to be deprived of freedom and time but not of body parts and human capacities.

The death penalty is an unusual outlier--you could see it as a deprivation of all human capacities (thus as a violation of the Constitutional concept of cruel and unusual punishment, which is prohibited), or you could look at it as someone having time and freedom removed in a finite way (and thus as consistent with the Constitution, and therefore allowed).

But the extent to which it is an outlier is also part of why it's been so hotly contested, even in the lifetimes of most of us posting here.

If you're jazzed up by the idea of cutting off limbs or removing organs as punishment for crimes as determined in a court system as deeply flawed as the one we are living with today, you're kind of a pervert yourself. I wouldn't be running around bragging about that, which is probably why you're doing it here as an anon.[/quote]
Funny how a victim's rage is shamed and pathologized, while the real "pervert" behavior gets protected. Not the PP you're replying to but I honestly find you disgusting.[/quote]

NP but it is not perverted to be incredibly angry and want extreme punishment for a rapist.  You are a prime example of how we do not value women or children in this country.[/quote]
