[QUOTE="ez bake, post: 2332648, member: 229"] BB I never called you out, yet you seem too emotionally tied to this issue. It seems like you're reading my posts as if I'm bashing you for some reason (I'm certainly not). I'm of the opinion that when we talk about applicable punishment for crime - there is no room for emotion. Right is right and wrong is wrong, but I just don't jump right to the "kill 'em" as a punishment for everything necessarily. If you truly didn't have a single person (ever in life) to support you in getting past whatever went on in your life, then I applaud you for overcoming, but even then - I don't think it's fair to ask everyone else on the planet to be as strong as you are necessarily. I see a ton of messed up kids whose parents are messed up and I don't blame the kids for being the way they are. When they become adults, they're responsible for their actions, but that doesn't mean they ever had a chance to be "responsible" with the way they were raised. My whole point in posting this article was that I was torn on how I felt about it - on the one hand, I too had the thought that if someone in prison did this to a rapist that happened to victimize my child, I might be inclined to go up and thank them as I would have closure. On the other hand, I don't think every crime goes straight to death as the punishment (a lot of folks on this message board routinely post about breaking laws, yet talk about "killing thieves" which sort of takes some wind out of the sails of "kill rapists" or even "kill murderers" - are all crimes equal?) and as a Christian, I hate the thought of someone spending eternity in Hell (no matter how much more evil we think they were).
