This guy^^
he's bold i tell ya.
I am curious to see what others think about this. I am currently writing a research paper in my current events class about this. I feel strongly supportive of this. I feel it will decrease the number of sex offenders if this is done. Cut their privates off if they molest a child. What do you guys think about having a castration law in full effect for first time offenders (and anyone else who commits this crime after the law is in effect)?? Would you support it? Why or why not?

Can we cut their s off and shove them down their throats?![]()
Sure, and while we're at it we should start cutting the hands of anyone who robs... don't get me wrong, I despise child molesters as much as the next guy, but the current justice system that America has in place, while very good, is not flawless. What if you castrate an innocent person??
Of course, you already have the death penalty in Texas, so why not add castration to the menu huh?
Why not. Bas s like that deserve any kind of torture they can get.![]()
You make great points here. I want to see both sides of discussion on this. Thanks for adding in these questions and points.
There would be too many variables...gender...age difference...you would need to differentiate between the 55 year old who molested an 11 year old between the 18 year old and his 15 year old girlfriend. And isn't anyone under 18 considered a "child"...so that's also something that would need to be clarified...
There have been innocent people convicted of crimes you know...it would suck if in a year, the state says," sorry, the child was mistaken, you are free to go now, but your balls are gone, oops"
Thank about that.
If you want to live in Saudi Arabia, im sure you can work that out. We dont need eye for an eye type laws in America, it sets a really bad precedent.
With that said, i do believe penalties should be stiffer for child molesters. My wife worked for 5 years as a therapist to these guys who were out on parole from prison. It is insane to me that you can have a man who raped 5 young boys, then serves 2 years of his 20 year sentence.
This guy is worse than a murderer in my opinion, because the vast majority wont rehab...they need to be in prison substantially longer than that.
I wonder how many people who are pro-death penalty are anti-castration.
A lobotomy isp robably more effective than castration. And there is no gender discrimination.
I hypothetically would be open to the idea for incorrigible repeat offenders, but I don't think it has any chance of surviving a court challenge, because of the Seventh Amendment.
they should be entered in the BME Pain Olympics.
Repeat offendors... yes. chemical castration, they dont have to cut anything off but they can suppress their sexual urges. Oh... and make them serve their entire sentences, make the sentences longer, and no chance of parole for good behavior ( yeah they're gonna behave themeselves they wanna go out and molest more little kids).
Exactly. I can't count the number of times I've heard that rape is just as much about power as sex. You close that door and you open up windows into even more dangerous.
Lock them up, throw away the key. Cuts down on repeat offenses pretty well.
cutting off their balls is pretty inhumane, man. it isn't ideal in any situation other than medical emergency IMO. I agree w/ SFIE, just lock them up forever. problem solved.
No we shouldn't castrate them.
Just take 'em to an old, dried up shed. Put them in it. Bolt a vice to a wall. Put their member in the vice - remove the handle. Give them a knife. Light the barn on fire.
Let them do it.
^^ What he said.
I think when you're writing your paper you need to specify the degree of the crime that would cons ute a castration in your opinion. What about female offenders, do you take their ovaries? All these teachers that sleep with 14 year old students, do you castrate (de-ovarize) them?
This paper of yours is going to have to be pretty complex in order to convey a convincing argument.
It should be interesting. Good luck.![]()
Some pedophiles have requested castration...this was a few years ago when I first heard about it, and I'm not sure how things are now...but at the time the ones requesting to be castrated were refused. In fact one guy requested it, was denied it, was released from prison, and then went and molested another child.
Short answer...
No.
So what about female pedophiles??? Do you sew them up?
Me too.
castration is too much.
they should just let them get raped in jail... oh wait, they already do that
Certain problems have no solutions. If someone wants to kill, they will find a way. If someone wants to abuse children, they will find a way too. You don't need a penis to molest a child (women) - in fact, castration will probably result in more mental harm for the offender, and more physical harm for the victims (think improvised "toys"). Would that be better for you?
Sure, you can lock them up forever. , why not make concentration camps for sex offenders, so they can pay for their own life sentence. But why stop there? Just gas them, and eliminate the expense of keeping them alive, even if it's minimal. They're not human, after all.
Obviously, I'm not defending what sex offenders do. If I had a child, and he/she was abused, I would want to kill the person(s) responsible - no doubt about it. But this idea is horrible - it will never end.
Castration won't achieve a damn thing - it is child molester's BRAIN that is damaged, and removing their sexual organs won't change that, so that's treating the symptoms, not the cause. Such people will just find another way to molest.
I'm all for "child molester island" - a place that child molesters are taken to out in the middle of the ocean and never allowed to leave...
No, I really have no answers. Most of the world's problems can't be solved, so it is a matter of harm minimisation. I guess the best way to do that is to impose long sentences without parole. You could free up some space in the jails by letting the pot smokers out.
PS Borosai and I just simultaneously posted almost the same thing.
