“Rape is one of the things I would like to see a torture penalty applied to.”

The punishment for rape (especially underage girls), should be the forced sex change of the perp, and then he is sold to an asian brothel frequented by hairy german tourists.

Rape is one of the things I would like to see a torture penalty applied to.

I would be cool with that, if rape were a cut-and-dried crime, but there are so many false accusations out there, e.g. the Duke Lacrosse case, that I would refuse to condemn anyone to torture for it. When there is a murder, for example, you have a dead body, but with rape, a lot of times all you have is the girl's word that it was forced or that it even happened and, unfortunately, girls are known to lie about this sort of thing. You have the act on video where he is clearly raping her, or you have some reliable eye witnesses that testify he raped her, then fine, fry him. Otherwise, forget it. I know that stance is going to freak a lot of Freepers out, but the rape hysteria pendulum has swung far too much to the side of the politically correct and oppressive.

Also, I see so many people working themselves into a frenzy every time some drunk sorority girl claims a football player forced himself on her, but those same people wink and giggle at the idea of men being raped in prison. I find it absolutely disgusting and a true indictment of our penal system that this stuff is anything more than a freak anomaly, but, culturally, people have been brainwashed into believing that this sort of crime is funny as long as its happening to some poor man who got locked up for a year for smoking weed or getting into a bar brawl. So, I think I'll hold off on the orgy of righteous anger until we get some proper perspective in this broken culture.
