No, I don't stalk you. In fact, I was actually surprised to find you in this one.

The only reason for a "suspension" was that you complained to a moderator you knew would listen to you.

Remember, this is a public board and each and every poster can be responded to quite directly, right here, up front.

Still, since there are some who always want blood when a pregnancy is a result of a rape, what do you think about sacrificing the rapist instead of the kid?

Anyone want to bring back the death penalty for rape?

The problem with the death penalty for rape is that many juries would not convict, even when they thought the perp was guilty, because they did not feel right about the death penalty for a case where the victim herself, though brutalized and assaulted, did not die. The Supreme Court outlawed the death penalty for rape in, I think, 1977, and victims groups were actually glad, because too many rapists were found not guilty by juries unwilling to affix the death penalty.

No, I don't believe in the death penalty for rape. And you weren't suspended because I knew the moderator. I have no idea who the moderators are. You were suspended because you were creeping everyone out. How ironic, you can't take reponsibility for such a small thing.

No. For the simple reason that if a rapist knew the penalty was death, then the woman he raped would certainly be killed to eliminate the witness. After all, what would he have to lose?
