I absolutely agree. That should be the very minimum punishment for predators like this in any country and it shouldn't be questioned, there should even be a punishment for human rights groups who would dare to. I guess there is no money in castration. What we 'like to think' we are as a species is pure delusion.
"I'm an outsider by choice, but not truly. It's the unpleasantness of the system that keeps me out. I'd rather be in, in a good system. That's where my discontent comes from: being forced to choose to stay outside.
My advice: Just keep movin' straight ahead. Every now and then you find yourself in a different place."

Its not a good idea to punish people who question things , its quite Islamic
One of the rare cases big brother caught a criminal.
It is said that castration wouldnt work because some people just like the empowerment and control over other people .
Castrated people could still abuse , attack and kill other people .
So there is an argument that castration would be ineffective .
So, whether it actually is or not, people who claim this should be able to voice their opinion without facing persecution .
Well, many things should be. We should all be able to grow our own fruit and vegetables but we can't. We should be able to use public transport without having our eyes and ears bombarded by advertising but we can't.So, whether it actually is or not, people who claim this should be able to voice their opinion without facing persecution .
This is all deemed acceptable though, but suggest any kind of physical harm as a deterrent to those who harm innocents and you find yourself in an argument.
Pretty awful when you think about it.
the needs of the victims are mostly ignored when punishment is meted out by the courts, both here in thailand and in the west.that is Sharia law .
one very pleasing aspect of sharia law is that the victims have a say in the punishment and in the carrying out of the punishment.
if you want to know what the most suitable punishment is for the chap that raped and murdered the little girl, then surely you must ask the parents of the girl, for they and only they are experiencing the loss that this crime has caused them.
^^ Pay offs are not exclusive to Sharia Law so that's an irrelevant commment.
Why didn't you just say, 'Good point Taxexile, some aspects of Sharia Law I agree with'?
That's correct.
fluke
why is that a problem, it seems that your wishes come before those of the victims and you only want to see the wealthy imprisoned.The problem with that is that it gives the criminal the opportunity to pay off the Family for a lighter sentence , which means that rich people can get away with crimes because they can afford to pay off the victims of their crimes
if the family agree to a payoff, then why is that a problem for you. the family can always refuse the payoff if they wish to see the rich criminal jailed. i believe that in some sharia societies the court sets the punishment and the victims of the crime can ask for the courts to reduce the punishment.
a kind of equivalent to the roman emperors thumbs up or down for the gladiators.
That would allow rich people to live outside and above the law .
A rich person could become a mass murderer and all he would have to do is pay off his victims families and continue with his killing spree .
Also , it would encourage rapists and murderers to target poor families because its more likely that they would accept a pay off .
^^ Not if his hands had been amputated.
Hand amputation probably would be a deterrent in cases where evidence was undeniable.
