Violent rapists should be hung

I'm not sure if you are responding to the questions I asked Polycarp. It doesn't seem like you are, so I guess you replied to me in mistake.

But what you said was interesting anyway. Do you believe that violent rapists should be hanged, but not non-violent rapists? And how do we tell the two apart? And were you trying to say, only homosexual violent rapists should be hanged, or do you think every violent rapist should be hanged?

Non-violent rapists in today's world might be "date rape" where the date had second thoughts and cries "rape" when it's nothing of the sort. I'm not for hanging in that case. In other words, there's room for some gray in there. It tends to get much more clear if there's violence involved.

Telling the two apart is what juries do in our system of jurisprudence.

Every. Hetero or homesexual.

Point out an instance of a "non violent rape", I'm dying to read that one...
