Are you serious? We have a duty to remove people like this man from society for doing what he admitted to doing.

Actually the point of prison is to reform, thank you for pointing out this obvious misconception of the viscious American Public.

No, the point of prison is remove those that are a danger to society at large. It is a form of punishment that can be used to reform those that are reformable. However, there are some individuals who have no hope of reform.

um, I've read the Amnesty Internatonal and Human Rights Watch reports on male rape in US prisons, that's how I know.

Do you keep a copy for bedtime reading?

Go back to petting your opossums, your unfounded hatred and general lack of knowledge of the US is growing old.

:confused:

He's referencing publications by legit organizations. Tell me, do you look at old AI and HWR publications on Saddam Hussein and say "This is BS, obviously this is just an attempt to stir up unfounded hatred of Iraq and the Hussein regime"? Why not? It's just as stupid a statement...

We have a duty to plot and carry out someone's death?

It just sounds wrong.

It just sounds wrong.

Raping and murdering a young girl sounds wrong too. Wrong enough for a slow and painful death.

I can understand the doctors' position, they are bound by a code of ethics.

saying Amnesty Internatonal is "legit" is arguable

Why's that?

Torture the son of a bitch. Give him the pear and cut off his pecker with a rusty knive. Cut off his tongue and make him drink bleach. Only then will he be disposed of properly.

I hate these types of threads. There are always people who come in and defend the criminals. :roll:

So no second chances? No drug rehab, no psychiatric help, no nothing? What if _you_ went to prison? Wouldn't you want to understand where you went wrong and put it right?

Or maybe the US govornment is no more perfect than the rest of them?

Why? They lied about something?
