when reading the heading of this thread it sounds like your polling paedos
This.I voted No because Capital Punishment just does not work as a deterant. If you are a Paedophile and willing to act on your f***ed up thoughts then you will no matter what the punishments are. Look at the US. Many crimes have the option of CP there and yet it doesnt stop people. Also in this day and age it often costs more in legal fee's due to appeals to execute a person than imprison them for life. Again look at the states where most people spend 20 years on death row before 'riding the lightning'.
You cannot seriously think some one would ACTUALLY choose to learn to want children. At what point do you "learn" pedophillia? And why would some one want to?
A lot of child molesters were victims themselves. Whilst it doesn't excuse this behaviour it does help explain it. The death penalty would make no difference because if the paedophile had the presence of mind to consider the consequences of being caught for their crimes then they would also stop to to think about what they were doing. Sadly with so many it's an uncontrollable urge which death will prevent am individual committing further acts however it won't stop others.
There is a reason why we don't use capital punishment now.
capital punishment in most human societies since the beginning of recorded time v a mere 50 years of unimaginable wealth in the west and corresponding more liberal views. experience tells you what. my boy tells me he doesnt need to eat vegetables fact but he is 12 has more food in the fridge than he knows what to do with is spoilt and thinks he knows best. not necessarily true.
But you can kill him because he wont eat his vegetables surely ?
Best option is for the paedophile to be bricked up in a room the size of a phone box with a small slot for passing bread and water through,eventually the room will become filled with shit and piss and the individual will rot in his/her own filth,cheap and cheerful and would hopefully take ages.
thats a minute of your life you wont get back
and that is what mate. exactly.

Sorry, i'm aware of this complex. I meant more you "learn" it by practice or by choice. Of course you can learn it like this, its the Social Learning theory (for those who don't know) and is used a lot in psychology.
The idea we kill some one for acting on uncontrollable urges is barbaric. All this "bring back capital punishment, no help from the state, i'm not being racist but... god bless the royals" kind of personality bugs me. Things were not all dandy back "in the day".

2 things, as horrible as it is paedophilia is a mental illness. Would you murder someone with Alzheimers?
Also, didn't we abolish capital punishment because it wasn't effective in deterring criminals?
One argument for offenders might be chemical castration. Removes the entire libido.
The best way to consider paedophiles is as people with a disease, an infectious disease. As such they need to be isolated from society.
Things change when you have your own children. Before my daughters I would have planted myself very much in the 'poor people, society has failed them, they need help' brigade. Now, with enforced subjectivity I find myself becoming more hardline. The problem with capital punishment is that no legal system is infallible enough to get it right each time and I just can't condone innocents being punished. However, can we ACTUALLY take these people away from the temptation permanently..... concentration camps on the Isle of Dogs? Enforced castration seems a good idea but it smacks so much of the Nazi and again.. if they are later proved innocent?
I really don't know but I fear that if anythign happened to my kids (heaven forbid) I think you would have to lock up all the knives. Possible innocence woulnd't even cross my mind.
Sometimes I wonder whetehr we just have toa ccept that we humans are not much better than animals and all this 'civilisation' is just window dressing. When push comes to shove we revert back to possibly the most dangerous, selfish, callous and vindictive species on this planet.
