Which is worse - Rape or Murder?

Ethmi I think you are right,raped the emotional thing go's on murdered well the dead no nothing.

However I think the punishment for either should be mandatory execution as soon as possible.The rape part make sure thats what it is first is all.:xkill::xkill:
 
The problem....

is that the modern statute system, created in 1938... is flawed.

It gives light sentences to murderers and rapists...

which before 1933... when we had the Constitutional Common Law legal system.... muderers... and rapists... were hung... PERIOD.

THERE WAS NO REVOLVING DOOR... no TV in jail... no mattress.

it was hard labor... or an exicution.

Period.



Which is how it should be again, as a way to actually deter rapists, and murderers.


Tv, a mattress, and 15 years... does not deter anything.

That should be the discussion... see..> Mosheh Thezion's Campaign Committee for U.S. Senate (R) | FREEDOM VERSES CIVIL LIBERTIES

Are you taking about Harold "Pete" Guyette? Wasn't he sentenced to life without parole for the shootings, not death row? Didn't he get off because his confession was deemed unconstitutional?

Anyway, this does bring up an interesting legal point. A person can be falsely accused of murder but legally only for a murder that actually occured. A person can be falsely accused of rape but that rape need not ever have actually happened to obtain a conviction. This is a contributing factor to why murder is often treated as a capital offense but rape, even aggravated rape or child rape, is not. (Ironically, a murder conviction can be obtained on strictly circumstantial evidence, whereas rape is very difficult to prove without conclusive physical evidence.)

Legally then, murder is "worse" than rape. However, morally, if one looks at crime of all types as forms of theft, is not the theft of a life always equally heinous? In the case of murder the life is stolen abruptly and completely, but in cases of rape a life is stolen piecemeal over time depending on the severity of the offense. Perhaps certain rapes ought to be treated a capital crimes, worthy of permanently ridding society of the offender.
 
Although I have no pity for murderers and rapists I do have pity for people wrongly found guilty for these crimes.
A man in England just did 27 years in prison for a rape and murder that he didnt do. the man that did it killed himself in 1988 and its only now his dna was matched with the murderers tissue found on the dead girl.
Thats why I dont really like the death penalty and the hang 'em shoot 'em brigade.
 
well, putting them in prison for a long, long time prevents them from doing it again. Besides in prison they will have a taste of their own medicine. ;)

I don't know about the preventive side. At least in Australia apart from serial rapists, rape is mostly gang rape when drunk. A girl agrees to have sex with one guy and his drunk frienRAB join in.
 
I think it depenRAB on the angle. Rape most of the time but then I think of my family being left without me, all my children motherless and never being able to see them get through the various stages of their life, never enjoy my grandchildren or them enjoy me, etc and murder seems SO much worse. I've never been raped and while I could NEVER begin to fathom how traumatic something like that would be, I know eventually through counseling and the love of my family, frienRAB and my faith I could get through it over time. Death, there's just no coming back from, no healing from it over time. So in that sense I think it would be worse.
 
You probably could. Being sent to a combat zone, death of someone close, an unexpected assault on a city street... there are plenty of things with similar psychological impacts to a rape. It isn't some unimaginable horror that exceeRAB the difficulties of any other problem you might encounter in your life.
 
Up until relatively recently, a husband couldn't be charged with rape of his wife in the US. He had the "right" to get his nookie. Not a very PC position nowadays, however.
 
Quite a few years ago a local girl agreed to a gang bang with four of my frienRAB( I was NOT involved but I knew the boys and the girl. She was not coerced into doing this, in fact she was very willing...they all were drunk)
After the first one had finished the second one started but she wanted to stop...he however didnt and had to pulled off by the other boys.
She cried rape and threatened to go to the police.
This was technically rape and the boy would be liable to procecution today.
I think there should have been a penalty for that particular offence...about 50 pence.
There are different levels of rape and although all are detestable some are more detestable than others and the penalty should reflect that.
To say that they all should be hung..by the balls or any other appendage is just a bit...stupid.

I can guarantee to all the macho men on here that if a couple of guys( or if you think you are hard..lets make it three) could make you just as traumatised and humiliated with a beating as a rapist could to a woman ( or man) so lets get a little reality.
Searching your imagination for ways to inflict pain and death on a rapist is fun maybe but unrealistic.
 
If you asking me whether I would rather die then be raped, then yes, I would rather die. I would die fighting. If he stuck a gun in my face I would hope that my 3 years of martial arts training were enough to disarm him. Same goes with a knife.

But, if you're asking me which crime is worse, it all depenRAB. If a girl kills her sexually and physically abusive boyfriend after she decides she cannot take anymore vicious beatings, then in my eyes she should be let free. That scumbag deserved to die.

But if a guy breaks into a house and kills a family of four at 4 oclock in the morning in cold blood, then he should be sentanced to the maximum punishment of our legal system.


If a guy kidnaps a girl and rapes her repeatedly, then he should go to jail for a very very long time. If an 18 year old has sex with his 15 year old girlfriend, then he should be set free with a clean record. No matter what the laws say, you can never rape the willing. So I guess it all depenRAB.
