In my opinion it is wrong that a religious parent denies information from his/hers children. The parent should be able to hold his/hers own opinion about everything but it is totally different thing to deny childrens from having more balanced information.
What an utterly rubbish. That explains a lot why so large majority of english speaking persons seem to be whackos. It's ridiculous that it's illegal to give pornographic material to your children. Somehow it's still OK to circimcise the helpless baby boys but it's still illegal for years to give them access to pornographic material. That is really sick and unnatural.
And I strongly suspect that you have something agains Darwin and practise spanking.
I think you got it wrong. As far as I remember, he wasn't caught with anyone. He went to police to report a burglary. And Turing thought that thte burblar might have been one them he had shared his bed. And Turing didn't realize that homosexuality was still a matter that had much negative feelings. He though that they were going to make homosexuality accepted within few years.
I cannot recall the age of the man he identitified as the men he had sex with, but my expression is that he was an adult. Especially as he went to prison because of homosexuality. On the other hand, they offered chemical castration for Turing -- so that he would not have go to prison with ordinary criminals.
Personally, I'd rather be tortured to death rather than raped. At least it's over and you don't gotta live with it for the rest of your shattered life.
Torture can take long time and include raping. And you can always kill yourself after the rape if you really feel that life after rape is not worth living. In fact -- in many muslim countries the relatives of raped girls do exactly that -- killing the victims of rape for the honour of the family.
Imagine feeling the penetration (anal in your case), forceful, brutal, unyielding. Imagine feeling your tissues tearing as it continues, with your own blood serving as the only lubrication against the force of someone bigger, stronger than you.
It probably would be traumatic experience, but at least I would try to get over it. Like one rape victim said, she thought it was crazy to thought rape as end of life. She felt that it was mistake to spend the rest of life in misery and thought that it was the end of life (like some seem to think). Of course it was very traumatic experience and she will probably never forget it, but she was able to continue her life and be happy again. Please -- don't misinterpret me. I am not saying that it's only question of attitude how well one will survive rape experiencies. For example - people are different and there are milder and more severe rapes. But one should try to continue living -- it is not that uncommon that the wictim will be able to have a good life even though (s)he was a victim of rape. BTW - if there are between 1/6 and 1/3 of all women raped during their lifetime, I would say that clearly many of them are able to have good life even after rape. But it can take time... And it's also important not to make the thing worse by repeating how awfull thing the rape was and how her/his life is now destroyed forever. That kind suggestions can make themselves true.
I understand that people are sometimes convicted wrongly. However, couldn't the 3 strikes rule apply to sex offenders as well? By the 3rd conviction I think it would be safe to say it's not a case of mistaken identity. When they reach that point I say get out the knife and hack away.
And I thought that civilized world had left the notion of corporal punishment. But of course I forgot that it is still legal to spank children in USA -- so I shouldn't be so surprised that these kind of opinions are so common in USA. BTW - I am sure that be whackkin the arms of those who drive under the influence of alcohol, we could prevent many of repeated acts of driving under influence of alcohol.
You're male, aren't you. I mean to say that this kind of "it's not that bad" thinking usually comes from people who it's not likely to happen to.
Yes - I am male. It shouldn't be hard to guess because most slashdot readers are male. But what does it have to do with my opinions? I didn't say that rape isn't bad. I said that there are also worse things than just an ordinary rape case. BTW - some have said that males are more often the victims of rapes. Look for example http://www.spr.org/ (Stop Prisoner Rape). I think that usually prison rapes are worse than usual rape case outside prison. Often in prison the victim will be raped day after day and doesn't get protection from prison officials.
I don't know what world the author is living in. Who is going to argue that rape is the most violent crime? Forced to choose between submitting to one of two evils, who would choose death over rape? Answer: Not many people.
This is especially true when the rapist uses weapon in order to get the wictim to submiss. If the wictim submisses, I think that it often means the the wictim would rather be raped that killed or mutilated.

Sorry, but USA supports terrorist too and does all other kind of nasty things too.
