I called for the castration and imprisonment of a serial pedophile (A CRIME).

You advocated the sterilization of persons with genetic conditions (NOT A CRIME).

Obviously, you fail to see the difference.

As for the rest of your post, it is meaningless.

The penalty I am proposing does involve a procedure that was used by eugenicists, but to equate what I have proposed with eugenics is to demonize the procedure rather than its purpose in use, much the way leftists demonize guns.

Forced sterilization was ABSOLUTELY used by eugenicists in the United States and elsewhere.

Personally, I think any crime that might suggest castration as a possible punishment should simply be considered a capital offense.

I have been very clear about this and this is yet another deliberate misconstruction of what I posted.

I advocated the sterilization of persons with genetic defects listed as catastrophic to the child, who had then chosen, after have been advised of such, to produce that child. Once that kid is born, they should be charged, prosecuted, and if found guilty, then punishment should be exacted. You are correct that this is not listed as a statutory crime. I am stating that it should be.

Obviously, you fail to see the difference.

Obviously, you have chosen to neglect the difference.

Guns were used for murder too. That does not make what I proposed to be eugenics.
