Birthday Post
It is my birthday!!! I am 35. Half-way between 30-40.
Here we go:
Surgical castration has been suggested for sexual offenders. There are examples where this has been tried in Scandinavian and European countries for child molesters and rapist and other sexual offenders. In some of these cases, the criminal is given less jail time for their punishment because of the castration.
Is castration a realistic option in dealing with sex offenders?

Happy Birthday my friend.
Possibly, sickening. But yup.
And I was first… I almost feel cool.
(CAKE CAKE CAKE)
In other news, I think castration should be a requirement
for sex offendors as a minimum and liberals as an obvious
second… (That was a joke by the way
Happy birthday indeed.
I think rehabilitation would be preferable to castration, but I don’t believe it should be necessarily ruled out. I’m not sure.
Happy birthday!
What a memorable post for your birthday. xD
happy birthday. y’know, it might work. Try something else first, but if that fails, do something DRASTIC.
nice birthday post
and yes.
like in Sin City. take the weapon away! haha.
happy birthday!
castration is always fun
HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!!!
And no, that’s just not cool.
Though the threat may be pretty effective ^_~
No.
There’s more to sexual abuse than rape. I always feel vaguely irritated when people say sex offenders should be castrated. They’ll still have tongues. Hands. They can still penetrate you with objects. Start with their minds, not their penises. Better yet, lock them away for life so they can’t harm anyone ever again.
This also doesn’t do anything for women sex offenders. They don’t have penises to be cut off.
How does that stop them from further molestation?
Happy Birthday, Dan!!! And…well, it might seem effective. But at the same time…should it happen to those who have committed statutory rape? In some cases the guy is 17 and the girl is 15. I just don’t think it would be fair in a case like that. Maybe that’s my politicalness seeping in, but that’s just how I feel. Otherwise, I’m all for it.
why not? we’ve done every other crazy thing, we might as well do this. not like it will help, but whatever. if whomever this person that came up with it think it’s right and will work, then God forbid anyone tell them anythign different, because their idea will work, damnit! so they should just do it. it might be funny.
Happy Birthday! Although it’s not your birthday in CA, yet.
)
No, I really don’t think that unrestrained/unfulfilled sexual libido causes sex offenders to…well, do what they do.
Chopping off part of someone’s package won’t fix the severe psychological problems these people have. It might make victims’ families feel somewhat avenged, but it won’t fix the problem.
If we’re really trying to punish someone, we should use jail time.
If we’re really trying to rehabilitate someone, we should use counseling and therapy.
Happy Birthday Dan!
& No, they still have hands & tongues… and Lord knows what else they couldwould come up with to use. They’re sick minded, do you think they’d stop just because they didn’t have a penis? Of course not…
Happy Birthday Dan!
happy birthday!
If some one steal do u cut off their hands? Someone above me made a point about the mentality of a crime. A crime is thought of before it is committed so lets break that criminal mentality before we go broke dick policy on them.
When it comes to kids it honestly makes me want the offenders castrated. But it is my understanding that part of what makes these sickos do what they do is a control issue. Even if they were castrated they would probably find some other way to manipulate their victims. I am sure some may think twice about doing it again if they were castrated, some may never do it again, but my guess is that it wouldn’t stop the majority. Just my thoughts.
Oh yes- Happy Birthday to you!
Castration + birthdays = perfect mix.
And exactly what bittersunday said, being a sick fuck isn’t just about your genitals, it’s about your mind being fucked up.
“An eye for an eye makes the whole world blind.”
(Or like, sterile or impotent or whatever you wanna call it in this case.)
I was sexually abused as a kid, but there wasn’t a penis involved… so what makes anyone think that lack of penis will end it?
Cutting their hands off would be more effective.
happy birthday!
i’m pretty sure castration would violate their right to not be subjected to cruel and unusual punishment
happy birthday!
HAPPY BIRTHDAY, DAN!
Oh, and Happy Birthday, Dan. I hope you have a fabulous day
If it reduces sex drive, then it sounds like a good idea.
Surgical? heck, why not just let either the person attacked, or her husband cut off the guys junk with a rusty spoon?… that’s a bill I’d support.

oh, and no. just because you get castrated, doesnt mean youll stop molesting people.
I think so
Happy Birthday

Another person who seems to think people rape or abuse because they are just horny. Sigh. Maybe we should start changing the minds of the general populace about such issues as well.
This is what you think of on your birthday?
Ummm… I’ve heard this argument before, but I don’t think it is the answer. I don’t know what the answer is, but it’s not castration. Oh, and Happy Birthday… 
in our human sexuality class we had my friend’s mom who worked with sex offenders and she said that they cannot be rehabilitated- that its a compulsion and they may even hate themselves for it. pehaps hypnosis and nontraditional rituals, o f the shaman nature would be the key in unlocking these behaviors, however i think they should get the death penalty-no millions of appeals- firing squad just like inchina. being consistent is very important.
Happy Birthday Dan!!
And I believe that castration could help because nowadays since jails are so nice and cozy, then people might not be so tempted to do it if they knew they were going to be castrated instead of sent to jail. Like if there’s a guy that’s thinking about raping someone and he knows that he’s just going to be sent to jail if he’s caught, then he could just say “oh well, jail has changed so much and it’s really nice, so i’m just going to go ahead and do it” but if he knows that he would be castrated then he might put more though into it and hopefully decide against it.
If repeat offender: yes.
If first-time: stick with the rules we have.
Happy birthday! You are now 1 and 5/7 times my age.
yes, but i think it’s considered cruel and unusual punishment.
it should be
happy 35th
I mostly agree with bittersunday but question whether they should be locked up for life. I tend to think that active pedophiles need serious psychological work and rehabilitation with a *minimum* of 2 years in an institution. Progress or lack thereof can be measured through psychological tests with internal safe guards against deception, lie detectors (including neuro imaging during questioning), and penile electrodes (in the case of men — who make up the majority of pedophiles). A lot of these people feel tremendous guilt (as well they should), which is a sign that there’s still hope for them.
That’s my compassionate side talking. I don’t deny that I’d also like to take these people and smack them around with a 2 by 4…
I like the thing with the death penalty after 2 rapings. It’s got spunk and hey no more raping from that guy. I’m not sure where that idea came from though. I’m pretty sure it was one of the political campaigns in Texas. Happy Birthday Dan!
i hope so.
that’s the most logical thing i think i’ve ever heard.
OMG
Are you kidding me? I am taking Criminal Justice classes. Just last week I was reading something about how that type of rule used to take affect…eye for an eye, well not really, but you know, cutting a limb off or something. But that is ridiculous! I can’t even imagine. I guess if it was more optional…jail time or…
But who knows, I don’t think it will ever last
to lorrie14: your first statement was a false analogy.
and i think this is a very effective way to prevent them from creating any other sexual offenses. after castration, the offender would have no desire for any sexual actions; this would also decrease the amount of future sexual offenders because less people would be molested during childhood, thus lowering the chances that they would repeat the trauma in adult life
Hey happy birthday, Dan. Anyway, I think castration is a very logical way to deal with sex offenders. Better yet, do it with no anesthetics…
-Jared
Happy Birthday…Old Man LOL haha JK
It would only encourage an increase in sex changes.
I completely agree with Jill.
Happy birthday, Old Man Dan!
Surgical castration? Why not just castration with a machete? I’m sure it’d be more persuasive that way.
With that, I wish you a happy birthday!
Oh, and happy birthday… see I didn’t skip out on it.
i already said happy birthday but i will again..so Happy birthday!:)
i read an article about the castrations once…said something along the lines that it doesn’t fix the problem, that the problem is mental, and not sex drive related, so….as much as i think the personwould deserve the humilitaion of it…my answer would be no..
Happy Birthday DanDude
Here is a better uniform pic
Absolutely! Why are eunuchs trusted to guard harems? Because without the package there is no more desire for that anymore…right? But they must remove the “bolas” too! (Happy Birthday Dan!) But I also think that they can’t use like a mini guillotine to remove said package…maybe some sulfuric acid or mauled by a hungry bear. I guess you’d have to have kids to understand.
Happy Birthday, Dan!
(What a topic to bring up when announcing your birthday, huh?)
I agree with Xcholo4u. I can’t think of a better way of doing it.
Happy Birthday, Dan.
I think theorectically it is a good idea, but sense for a lot of sexual offenders it isn’t about sex, it won’t fix anything. It won’t change the way they think about the world. It won’t stop them from victimizing anyone. They just won’t be able to use their penis. (sorry for being graphic)
Happy Birthday!
and apparently we really do need to re-educate everyone as to what sexual assault is about.
Happy Birthday!
As for the castration argument, it may stop some sexual assault, but not all, as you can sexually assualt one with just about any limb of the body..
Happy Birthday!!!!!
happeh bday ^-^
No.
And happy birthday.
Happy Birthday Dan and e-mails!
I think the threat of it would be enough to deter some offenders,but it is not the best idea that I have ever heard.
Here’s hoping that you get that TV!
Happy birthday Danny boy!
p.s.
I don’t even want to imagine what they would do if they were castrated. I take it back. It’s probably a horrible idea. It just won’t solve anything. It’ll just make them more angry and frustrated. Lock them away for life.

you don’t seem 35 have a happy birthday.
the castration won’t control sex offenders. they can find other ways. some don’t even use their dicks and what will they do with women sex offenders they never had one to cut off in the first place.
Happy Birthday!!
Castration doesn’t prevent the thoughts that cause the behavior in the first place, and it doesn’t stop the offender from finding new ways to abuse people. So, I think it’s mostly pointless.
There are other ways for them to molest. I wonder if it would actually be effective anyway. Maybe they should try with a test group.
Oh, even though I said happy birthday on myspace, I’d feel like this comment was incomplete without saying it again. So happy birthday!
not really.
happy birthday by the way, although it’s still the 25th here. :]
That’s a very….um….original…idea
this isnt Sumer and Hammurabi’s Code. An eye for an eye, literal punishment doesnt work here. If pedophilia is considered a “disease” their mental state should be corrected first and foremost.
HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!
Yes, absolutely. If you’re weapon is a gun – you have that taken away, and can no longer own guns again. If you’re weapon is a knife, you’re weapon is taken away – and while on probation/parole, you can not have access to those weapons…..so sure…if you’re weapon is your penis or your vagina…then castrate them. That’s the only obstacle I see, is that people would be less squeamish with male castration than female castration….I say snip ‘em both.
happy birthday!!
HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!!!!
1971: Apollo 15 finds rock from birth of Moon
I’m not sure castration would work – so throw them in prison and loose the key!
Happy Birthday Dan!
You know, I was reading aim.com’s banner from people magazine’s sexiest men alive tonight, I was flabbergasted.
Most of the sexiest men alive are in their 40s. The rest are 35 and up!
When did it become so sexy to be old?
I’m liking this 30′s shit, truly I am! You too?
Now, castration.
Before I scanned your replies for cute Asian profile pics I had an answer.
And bittersunday and collision kiss said it first.
A sicko can do plenty without a penis or testes. If you castrate an offender but do not remove the testes then they will probably be even more fucked up. Even without the testes producing whatever it is balls produce is still capable of great harm.
Castration just feels good.
At the same time, your first comment had something about rehabilitation being the first option.
I do not think sexual offenders can be rehabilitated either, so no castration, no therapy.
Chemical neutering seems the way to go. Thorazine and saltpeter, and they can make cigar boxes all day or something.
happy birthday! Hope it all goes well for ya
yes and no, depending on whether they’re repeat offenders..like what the other commenters have stated, they have other methods..if we start castrating as a method of the sexual offenders getting out of jail early to return to their daily life, they’ll likely not stop. So we should also cut off their hands and make them all mute so that they can only scream and not be able to say anything. personally I think that they should stay locked up and possibly receive intense psychological help.
Absolutely.
One more thing- if a 15-year-old girl has sex with her 17-year-old boyfriend- that’s bad judgement, not rape. Fix the laws we have, first…
Umm, I dunno – that’s a little harsh. Maybe not for repeating offenders, but first time offenders, that’s too much.
But more importantly – Happy Birthday! Woohoo!
Sex offender is a pretty broad label these days. Probably covers a number of people it shouldn’t.
> the ‘Urge’ is bought on by thought as much as the physical, so….. You have to treat the “top” itf you cut off the bottom and keep track, just in case of psychotic….
Peace, but not for the offender
Repeat offenders, perhaps. One rape is uncomfortably easy to frame someone with. And when I say that, I mean, there should be absolutely no room for a shadow of a doubt before measures such as these are used.
However, at that point, I’m all for it. Ironic humor is the best.
happy birthday
how would that help?
Happy Birthday! Nice topic to start the day with…
mew.
I’m sure they would think twice about doing something wrong if they knew their balls were going to be chopped off..
Woohoo!! Happy Birthday, Dan! Hope you have a great one.
No. You should also cut off their hands as well.
Sure, why not? It’d be just like how we chop off people’s hands for shoplifting.
Yes. We should also poke out their eyes and cut out parts of their brains…
HAppy Birthday!!!
Umm… I’m not a guy but i think everybody should be entitled to keeping their “manly-hood”
But I guess if they stop thats good
Happy Birthday, Dan.
… I think it is.
Happy Birthday!
Al
From what I have read it’s not about sex, it’s about violence, so I’m not sure castration will work. I’ve also read that they cannot be rehabilitated. Considering the nature of the crime and the damage inflicted on the victim, LIFE (and I mean more than 20 years) in prison – without the possibility of parole - or the death penalty would be the way to stop them for good.
yes! castration should be enforced.. but only to repeating offenders…
happy bday~
I feel very feministic right now.
YOU CAN’T CASTRATE THE SHE-PERVS!!!
We have a female sex offender living down the street from us now. They had to let us know.
probably not such a great idea.
But then, I’m not the one who has to deal with these people. I might feel differently if I did.
Or not. I don’t know.
I concur with bittersunday…
Happy Birthday! It seems like it might be an effective idea … though a bit barbaric … Can’t say it doesn’t appeal to me, and it might help …
Happy Birthday Dan, hope you make it down history lol
btw back to the question umm no would be right answer…
Happy Birthday.
Con fries. Good with a little BBQ. It’s what’s for dinner in the pen.
Happy Birthday
As for the castration. I dont think it would stop many of them. they still have hands and they would be more likely to use all sorts of object then to defile the person. So I dont think it would help.
Happy Birthday Dan! Hope you have the best year yet! Love ya…..Jess
Happy Birthday!!!!!!!
HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!!!!
Unless chemical castration cuts it off then there’s still the chance of them doing it again. Of course even if you cut it off, they could still be dimented enough to do other things. No, I think they should stay in there.
Happy Birthday!!!!
Wait til you get my age…it really sucks then.
HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!!!!!!
FELIZ CUMPLEANOS AMIGO…..!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I don’t think castration is the answer..although..it sounds like a good idea for cheating boyfriends or husbands
Happy Birthday!
Feel free to cut anything off a sex offender you wish.
Is this far into the comments and no one but me has mentioned that you can’t castrate a female?
A realistic option…yes. However, I don’t think it is humane. I do not think the US Gov’t should get involved with sugically altering prisoners no matter how terrible the crime. I also doubt it would be effective at altering the behavior. Child molestion is a deeper problem than just sexual. It gets into control and power over someone.
HAPPY HAPPY BIRTHDAY, DAN! YOU ARE THE MAN!
No.
Happy Birthday!!!
I find it… interesting, I guess… that you would include your birthday and castration in the same post.
And no, it’s isn’t realistic. Criminals should never be given less time just because their dick is cut off. Like Jill pointed out, they didn’t just rape a person with one part of their body, but their whole body. Particularly their mind. The rape was there before it was anywhere else.
It’s really funny!
Happy Birthday!
Happy Birthday, Dan!!!!
as for the question: I’m really not sure…. I don’t know enough about why people become sexual offenders to give an opinion to this one. Unfortunately, I don’t think anyone really knows enough about why a person becomes one….
No. Rape is an act of rage, using sex as a weapon. If they can’t use their penis they will use something else. When my daughter was very young, she was raped with the handle of a hammer because it left no sperm samples. Rape by insturmentation is very common and often far more damaging. All castration does is remove one form of weapon. It is a mental problem.
Casturation/Jail Man, I hope I never have to face that decision. I might choose casturation.
Happy Birthday!!
this is such a serious issue, perhaps chemical castration is a better option for those who are serious sexual offenders
I guess, but sex offenders usually need mental help, not castration. Castration wouldn’t stop them from having offensive thoughts and urges. They could still act on them too, with their hands.
It helps, but jail time is still needed.
no. sex offenders don’t offend because they have a penis. Even woen have been convicted of child molestation. They molest because its a “power” thing. The need to dominate, manipulate and be in control. Castration cannot solve that.
Well, emasculation might be the better way to go…ya know, take off EVERYTHING…but, having said that, I want to say that sex offenders will find other ways to molest, so while it may help, it is not the total answer.
HAPPY BIRTHDAY!
i would guess so, but we’d have to look at data
Quite a birthday post, eh? XD
I think castration is a bit unrealistic and Draconian.. but maybe it’s necessary, maybe they can’t be rehabilitated, I don’t know, I’m not an expert.
No, because you can rape and/or sexually molest people with things other than your penis. Rape isn’t about pleasure, or ejaculation, it’s about power.
I think that castration should be used on sex offenders that have been convicted multiple times, but not after just the first offence. It’s kinda harsh, but molesting a child is kinda harsh too. Maybe threatening to castrate any sex offender will keep them from committing the crime?
Although it might feel satisfying to do this to sex offenders, and I admit it does seem like an appropriate punishment, it doesn’t really solve the problem. It’s not really about sex, it’s about control, power, victimization, etc, all kinds of deep psychological issues. But to be honest, I don’t believe the problem can really be solved. I actually doubt very much that sex offenders can be rehabilitated and I think they should probably be removed from society.
It seems a little harsh.
It might be the thing to do…but maybe if they lost a few fingers as well.
Happy Birthday! And no, castrations aren’t realistic, but there’s no harm in trying!
while I fully believe they deserve it, it won’t stop them from molesting people. Honestly, you don’t need a penis to rape someone, and often the worste type of sexual assault doesn’t involve any man bits at all. Plus, what would they do for the female child molesters?
I think it’s a perfect solution. . .a punishment that fits the crime, so to speak. AND it would give sex-offenders a chance to re-enter society without the potential of hurting more people.
castrate them and then lock them away for flipping eternity. i know a guiy who used to be a cop and now he works at a place on cold case files. he says that of all the crimes and all the criminals it is the rapists and molesters, especially child molesters who never stop, no matter how often they have been cuaght, no matter what their punishment has done, their minds are forever kinked up, and they continue hurting. and what bittersunday said was right, they still have tongues and hands, so after castrating them as punishment….lock them away forever.
Yes.
HELL NO!!!
my god
-Jacob
Less jail time? They already get miniscule amounts…
I think that would be approrpiate for repeat or severely violent offenders. We need to have stricter punishments for these people. However some guy who simply didn’t realize the girl said “no” while making out in the back of a car shouldn’t get castrated. Yes, it’s very very bad of him and should never happen, but that’s somewhat of a lesser offence. (I may get killed for saying that… I’m looking mainly at intent here, and whether it was mostly malicious or innocent).
Isn’t that mutilation? How does that make us any different than the countries that cut off hands and whatnot for petty crimes? The point of the criminal justice system is to try and reform, not mutilate them.
Rehab does not work. Castration will slow ‘em down.
I don’t think would fly with most Americans, although I personally like the idea.
Happy birthday and cheers to another good year, both blogging and offline.
No. Lock them up for life so they can’t do any form of molestation.
Please. I’d love to see some of those sickos get what they deserve.
If we can kill ‘em, why not just make life hell instead?
Death would be better but castration is okay too.
Happy Birthday!!
I don’t know. Doesn’t it all start in the heart?
definataely. And ahppy brithday.
Happy Birthday!!
I don’t know about realistic, but it doesn’t sound like a bad idea to me
especially since the majority of sex offenders don’t ever really seem to learn
Isn’t it written somewhere that if you’re hand causes you to sin you should cut it off..or if your eyes cause you to sin you should gouge them out?
oh well ..not many people would really do THAT….
anyway
I’m not sure what to say..uhmm..!!YADHTRIB YPPAH
First off I really do truly hope you have a wonderful birthday.
Now about this matter; I would say it’s realistic. However do I think that should be the punishment? no.
Only because it may yes take their ‘pride’ away but I still think they can do a lot of harm even without it. I would say lock them up for life.
Hell yes – as a victim of rape I think it is very appropriate for the offenders – especially repeat offenders – to be castrated. What would you do if it was a woman sex offender though? They do exist ya know!
Happy Birthday, dear Dan…
castration will not always stop sexual urges > witness dogs that have been neutered, and yet still hump legs and furniture… and lack of erection does not stop some men from still wanting to attempt to slake their desire; some of my past partners have had bouts of impotence, and yet still wanted to do other things rather than intercourse.
what castration would stop would be the ability to reproduce, so at the very least, a woman/girl who was raped by one of these sick persons would not get pregnant.
i do not know what the answer to this scourge is, but even surgical castration does not seem to be fail-safe, and might give society a false sense of security…
I think so.
And happy birthday!
I think it is, to some degree…
YES
Happy 35th birthday, Dan. =)
I agree with bittersunday. Castration can work as a threat, but it may not stop them. Sexual offenders do not just rape people. There are other forms of abuse that are equally as damaging as rape.
Whoever said that castration doesn’t work is a fucking idiot.
Castration = testosterone gone = hormones gone = controlling influence GONE.
Where will he get his male hormones from to influence his sex drive? NOWHERE.
IIIIIIIIIIIDDDDDDIIIIIIIIIIOOOOOOOOOOOOOTTTTTTTTSSSSSSSSss.
CASTRATION FOREVER.
Happy Birthday Dan:)
I can’t believe the number of morons who are talking about sex drive and hormones and sexual urges.
I’ll put it in big, bold letters for you::
RAPE IS NOT ABOUT SEXUAL URGE.
Acquire brains, for the love of god. Or actually do some RESEARCH on rapists and sexual abuse.
To an extent, I guess so. That’s not to say they still can’t sexually abuse anybody though. However if they can’t get an erection, maybe they won’t bother anymore.
Does the castration take away all sex drive, including psychological drive? how about motive to perform such acts just to perform them. I want to know what happens next! Does it take away a person’s propensity to be “evil” sexually!!!??? EXPLAIN. Someone! I must find out…
Hey… what about women? Is there a female form of castration?
…Wow, so many people don’t think molestation and rape, etc. can happen without hormones… and an errect penis… If people want to hurt others, they don’t need normal sexual pleasure or a penis… *shudders* They really don’t.
I think they’d be more sadistic because of what had been done to them, but I have no back up evidence.
NO I DO NOT BELIEVE CASTRATION WILL HELP. I BELIEVE AS LONG AS THEY BREATHE AIR THEY ARE GOING TO RAPE CHILDREN AS IT IS A POWER THING FOR THEM.
happy birthday.
castration…still doesn’t stop the hands and other gagets molesters use to molest/rape etc people. Maybe they should cut off thier arms; I wan’t to see a molester try to molest with his feet.
hahaha, yes!
Yes.
I think that for repeat offenders that have not been able to be rehabilitated, say, after their first time or second time in jail, castration should be a viable option. I think if the US passed a law concerning this we would be amazed at the drop in sex crimes.
And yes, most sex crimes are about power, not about sex. But I think that taking away the ability for an erection would eliminate a lot of the problem. I don’t think that it would work in all cases, but then nothing ever does. Anything that would help at all, I think, would be better than nothing (which seems to be what is happening now).
heh… go for it. I think that the point of it is that without this… it alters their mind set and they dont’ desire it anymore. I think it definitely should be thought out before being done, though.
I think castration is a good start, but personally I think a they are aiming too low. Let’s castrate sexual predators at the neck.
Castration is about lowering testosterone levels in males this can be done surgicaly or chemicaly for those of you who think castration would be cruel. Castration for a fact does lower recidivism rates drasticaly it does not solve the problem completly but it is a good start.Women can be castrated but it does not affect them mentaly as much just means they can not have children.
Hi! Happy Birthday, and I was raped when I was 12 years old and I hate when people talk about things like that!
well sure!
I think we need to focus on figuring out why and how to help prevent/get help for sexual deviants/offenders.
But, I wouldn’t rule it out….you have to remember that there are other offenses that have happened that don’t involve the organ though.
HA! Thats awesome. The bible says Eye for an eye…….which means the punishment cant be worse than the crime. I’d say it would be even!
Happy Birthday!
And no. Just because you casterate somone doesn’t mean they’re not gonna have sexual desires for children or anything. They’ll find another to violate people In my opinion they should enforce the death penalty on you.
Happy Birthday Dan!!
Ha and I say yeah, it’d be kind of sad and messed up, but it’d keep them perverts from doing it now wouldn’t it?
And I don’t mean sad and messed up for the sexual offender, I mean it’s sad and messed up because we actually have to resort to that…
haha. hell yes.
Don’t really think it would help too much but it would be satisfying and may be a deterrent to some??!
Ha! I always tell my hubby that if he cheats I will be so nice to him and forgive him but in the middle of the night–bobbit! Just an interesting bit…it is my hubby’s birthday too 11/26!
Happy birthday.
And I’m with bittersunday.
I don’t think castration by itself is enough. You don’t need a sex drive or an erect penis to assault someone sexually.
Hell yes they should castrate rapists and child molesters.
-Kristin
Happy birthday!
No, that makes no sense. Just put them in jail with a fine.
No.
There’s more to sexual abuse than rape. I always feel vaguely irritated when people say sex offenders should be castrated. They’ll still have tongues. Hands. They can still penetrate you with objects. Start with their minds, not their penises. Better yet, lock them away for life so they can’t harm anyone ever again.
This also doesn’t do anything for women sex offenders. They don’t have penises to be cut off.
Posted 11/26/2006 at 12:13 AM by bittersunday
^ what she said makes more sense than casteration.
’nuff said….
I don’t think so. That gets into eugenics and that’s not exactly a good idea. The sickness is in the mind, not the genitals. They’d have to have hormone replacement therapy anyway.
Happy (a very late belated) Birthday!
