Paedophiles in news today in Scotland.

Why oh why do we have to pay to keep these "inhuman" beings in jail ??? My wife had the best idea - take an old freighter out into the middle of the Atlantic laden with all these !"££""!££"!"£ (I can't think of a word bad enough) and then scuttle it. They are totally inhuman and deserve to suffer. I have no sympathy whatsoever - please don't say they need help !!

I vote we glue Joolee to the road, and invite her to change her views while a very, very large steamroller slowly advances towards her. Maybe she'll reconsider... or perhaps stick to her guns, in which case we end up with an extremely flat Joolee pancake.

so it's not enough to kill pedophiles, ellette, now you want to kill people who disagree with you?

joelee 1980 - maybe you are one when you stick up for them so vehemently

[ummmm]

That's a harsh thing to say connemmara.....

[ummmm]

She wasn't actually standing up for them. She was standing up against murder.

The death penalty solves nothing - and as someone has said does give people a reason to murder rather than potentially leave witnesses. I have worked with ex offenders, including sex offenders - and while not defending or condoing what they have done, most are not born that way - most that I worked with were the product of years of abuse themselves. I am not saying that this makes it right...at all/ever, but most are very damaged people and many were so very ashamed of what they had done and what they felt. I do believe that there are some sex offenders for whom there is no way to manage them and keep the public safe, but the death penalty is never the answer - it brings society to the level of the criminals and just because it is state sponsored death does not make it right or acceptable - I want to live in a country more mature than that (although when we have lynch mobs mistaking paedophilia for paediatrician maybe I am being too optimistic)

Jolee: i've been a contributor on here almost from the start and I have to say you have to be the most ojectionable, nasty creep I've ever read a posting from. Opinions vary, as they should, but you've taken advantage of the anonymity the internet affords to express views you'd be too scared to in any other medium. You're a coward. Room for one more on that boat?

The fact is there is no cure for these sick B*****ds! So why are we keeping them alive? i totally agree!
